Game post-mortem: Dolegala is the best QB the Riders have had in years. Under different/better coaching and with a decent O-line, he could be quite good. The Riders played like they already were out of the playoffs and didn't care. It's all downhill from here for the Riders from now on. Tre Ford transforms the Elks from a pathetic team into a legitimate playoff contender. Should the Elks meet the Bombers in the playoffs, he will give the Blue all they can handle. The Ungulates' defensive backfield is bad but their front four is pretty good and would be a challenge for the Bomber hogs.

Gotta admit that Dolegala is managing the game well with some nice intermediate passes.

Huh. Who'da thunk the Als would ****** defeat out of jaws of victory. (s.n.a.t.c.h.)

Ford reminds me so much of a young Damon Allen,

Not so much. Stoopid penalty by Argo O-lineman to kill any comeback.

Als playing off the Argo receivers now.

Hasn't looked like it so far.

They are playing like they thought a half-game was enough.

Kinda looks like the Argos are gonna lose.

What the Hell is Kelly's excuse?

Damned if the Argos aren't going to give this game away. Hope the Bombers are watching.

Immediate ejection would be the best answer.

Mocking Maas for his decisions is fair game. Mocking him for his physical appearance is crossing a line.

As bad as Fajardo is, Kelly is not looking that much better. Still anybody's game.

Okay, now its getting scary. bombers are on a roll. and the Ticats are hobbled and an overall crappy team. I'm getting a baaad feeling about this....

Will never replace the reverse cowgirl.

Why is he still in the league? He is not particularly good or young and seems to be a disaster waiting to happen.

Don't forget to use your sarcasm font when appropriate.

Over at Riderfans, cold, stark reality has set in for those with a functioning cerebral cortex. They are in the third (depressive) stage of grieving and sliding towards accepting that their team sucks, has sucked for a long time and will continue to suck for a long time.

But that would cost money.

Blue Bombers sign Oliver Martin, who caught NFL preseason passes from QB Nathan Rourke By 3Down Staff -September 12, 2023 The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed American receiver Oliver Martin. The six-foot-one, 200-pound target went unselected in the 2023 NFL Draft but signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars soon thereafter. He made three catches for 17 yards during the preseason and caught a two-point conversion from former CFL quarterback Nathan Rourke. Martin made 25 catches for 405 yards and two touchdowns over three collegiate seasons at the University of Nebraska (2020-22). He reportedly ran a 4.53-second forty-yard dash at his pro day along with a 41-inch vertical jump and an eleven-foot, two-inch broad jump. The 24-year-old had previous stints at Michigan and Iowa before transferring to the Cornhuskers. He caught 11 passes for 125 yards and one touchdown with the Wolverines in 2018 before making five catches for 28 yards and one touchdown with the Hawkeyes in 2019.

Desperation time. Maybe he got a whole lot better after he was cut.

I am not defending Maas or Maccochia, but the pool of potential head coaches was pretty poor at that time.

The problem with the inconsistency the Bombers have shown on occasion this year is that the potential is there for them to drop a deuce in the playoffs. That concerns me. If its just one player or one aspect of the game, the other parts can compensate. When the whole team takes the day off on the wrong day, the season is over.

At some point, the team realized that Fajardo was never going to lead them to the promised land and essentially gave up, taking their frustration out in dumb penalties.
