Hey Ripper. I thought the Riders were going to pull off a win here given how Fajardo was playing, how good your defense CAN play, and being at home in front of that crowd. There seems to be something missing this year. Probably the Chris Jones effect and a couple pieces here and there. Clearly things aren't quite as the last couple games have shown. My opinion of the Riders to start the year was that they weren't going to be as good as last year, but then they won a couple of games and looked pretty decent doing it. This certainly must be a let-down game for a lot of fans. A lot of season left. And that crossover will likely be open until the end.

Sayles is not going to be on a lot of lists but he seemingly has blanket coverage on nearly every ball thrown his way.

Against BC and now Ottawa it doesn't even look like we had to force anything to win handily. Mark of a good team

Two nights in a row the refs weren't very good. But it was night and day from last night. Last nights officiating was bonkers bad

You missed the part before the game where I tried to jinx Ward and instead jinxed our own kicker. At least he made up for it.

Yeah I'm not sure where folks get the idea Davis is a great running qb

And? He is a quick twitch player. Many players have turned their head and lost the ball and it's still been incomplete. It is what it is. Score effects on the call

I've seen a much longer timeframe of possession be called incomplete. Numerous times

Yeah that's a penalty. Not rough g the passer but clear spearing

47 yards

The bit about Noeller made me chortle. I'm still chortling.

Every penalty seemed to take about 5 minutes to announce.

It's so messed up how offside they look. It's not even close

And again at 1:20.holy

Ticats receivers are routinely offside. These refs are blind

This officiating crew is just... Not very good

Oh sweet. Did I jinx the Cats?

We won't forget your sacrifice

Math checks out

I meant CFL career but yeah good on him for making something of himself post football. He was a great athlete!

Jessie Lumsden's career was painful to watch

K...I'll go with Brandon Banks

Edit: Website did something funny

He basically did! Called back on an illegal substitution or something? I didn't have the volume up but I was pretty excited as he dragged 2 guys into the endzone with him from 10 yards out.

Ottawa has beaten Calgary and Saskatchewan. In previous years that would be seen as a power move. This year...it's surprising based on Ottawa's offseason, but isn't as big of an achievement based on Calgary and Saskatchewan's play so far. We are surely Ottawa's biggest test so far. Whereas I don't feel like they are ours. That said, it will be an interesting game. They are a solid team. Does anyone want to make guesses on the FG length that Ward will miss tomorrow?
