If we're playing a playoff game in BC the second half of this season will have gone badly. They are two games behind us right now with 6.5 left (we have 7 they have 6).

Don't really care where we have to play them. Bombers have shown in past 2 West Finals they won't be ground and pound no matter conditions.

Special teams is where we need to be smart. I think that's why Parker is on. Not so much to return, but for his ability to cover kicks. Can't let them get a spark. D isn't giving up much. Calgary only scored a bunch of FG's because they had a bunch of short fields a couple weeks back. Can't give Sask short fields or even points off kicks.

KSB is in the slot tonight so just mark down his 250 yards now.

Watching them from the game they played here on they are out-physicaled every single game. Losing in the trenches badly including last night. Lucky for them Thorpe is married to sending 2 backers most of the time and doesn't have the secondary to matchup. There's no argument about schedule. They've lost more games and should have 5 losses. They are playing badly. Adams piling up yards vs Montreal or when they are down 2-3 scores means jack.

Sanchez, Barker and Lapolice are the only ones analyzing football. I like when they use video and focus less on narratives. Stegall is the narrative guy unfortunately. Dunigan is best as a colour guy. His short bites on a panel are not great.

**** this Riders columnist on OB is delusional.

Half their wins vs Edmonton and Calgary. Would be on a 4 out of 5 losing streak if Montreal had a competent coach.

BC is a mess right now. If Noel Thorpe didn't constantly play a defense (cover 0 behind poorly disguised blitz) that's the equivalent of a meaty turkey nicely cooked and waiting to be carved up they would have lost even with Fajardo stinking. O'Shea's description of why Darby going on 6 game: "We made a move to get Parker on and we'll see how Alden factors in the rest of the season"

So they rule a hit that caused a turnover was illegal and fine worthy but somehow can't manage to review it right there in the game to get the call right.

Except Fajardo has performed worse in terms of putting up yards and points. Evans is only a 3rd year player.

I mean side judge and line judge's with whistles. Stick crews are all local.

Absolutely. Locally they don't want it later. My experience attending every 5 years or so they'd try a late start then go back to the 1 PM local starts after trying to manage the insane crowds by evening time.

They only need 4. Better for the guys not working to do U Sports and other amateur games to get work in. Seriously a bunch of people working lines this year were doing high school and Canada Cup games last year. Very inexperienced.

Wind supposed to pick up in early evening from south.

Yeah you wanna get there by Saturday afternoon and stay drunk right until game time. They moved up the start for many years to noon or 1 PM local to curb the drunkenness in the stadium.

BLM will be released before January 15 when he has a $175,000 roster bonus. There's 0 guaranteed money in his deal. They aren't going to pay him $500,000 to play football anymore. If he wants a chance to play next year it'll be a highly incentive based deal due to his terrible performance this season and inability to win at all. His QBR this year is 52! League average even this year is low 90s. Powell (a guy playing the lowest level of FBS football this time last season, rawest rookie possible) and Shiltz with same crew are around 85. If he plays next year he'll be waiting his turn to get on the field. He won't be starting, and he won't be making starters salary. So maybe the panel will look like a better deal to him.

He was only dangerous with the RPO stuff. Now he's not really a threat to run all game. Can't pass well enough to just be a drop back passer. Evans came in 2 games put up yards in both, points vs Sask and a comeback to beat Ottawa on the road. They are under .500 with Fajardo starting, 2-0 with Evans.

How the **** do you prep for another game with Fajardo as your starter? The guy not only can't help you win, he's actively handing over points every week.

Montreal won't win more than 2 games the rest of the season.

Montreal wins this game with a defensive scheme from this era and a QB who can make basic throws. Not even close. Why are you constantly going to run at Adams and give him single coverage across the field? Guy can't pass for ****, let him sit in the pocket all day.

BC just getting pumped in the trenches but Thorpe constantly blitzing on passing downs.

And Fajardo hands it back. 0 points.

God TSN is so bad at production. Can they not figure out how to isolate audio so we don't have to hear these ridiculous horns in the stands?

That Montreal DB had no hope to cover Whitehead. Montreal playing right into Adams game with the cover 0 there.
