August 26, 20177 yr comment_286307 The 2017 esks remind me of the 2011 bombers. Started off on fire and everyone knew the team would fall back to earth at the half way mark and they did. Thankfully the 2017 Bombers don't give me that feeling Edited August 26, 20177 yr by Judd
August 26, 20177 yr Author comment_286308 Well, at least ex Bomber Watson is still making Ridirts have trouble bringing him down.
August 26, 20177 yr Author comment_286310 And now the Eskos beginning to give the Ridirts trouble on that big Zylstra play.
August 26, 20177 yr comment_286311 The Riders are cocky bastards. Hopefully, that TD march by the Esks takes the wind out of their sails. Well, maybe not.
August 26, 20177 yr comment_286314 Esks OL looks like it did back in 2014 when it was just slightly craptucarly better than the Bombers.
August 26, 20177 yr comment_286315 Hugh O'Neil... Blocked punt, blocked convert & a KO out of bounds. Hot garbage.

He's certainly making Hajrallahu look a lot more like Paul McAllum with this. But damn ... Maas just seems to have his guys ill-prepared in general tonight.
August 26, 20177 yr Author comment_286320 Reilly's going to have to go into shootout mode to take this one

August 26, 20177 yr comment_286324 Finally called Dook Williams for an OPI...that's all he does. Push off.
August 26, 20177 yr comment_286326 From my eyes Saskatchewan IS better prepared than the Eskis, and playing at a better pace. Of course, many subs for the Eskis might have something to do with it. That and the worst K/P performance this year doesn't help. Oh, yeah, and Mike Reilly flinging the ball anywhere but... Tough first half for the home team... and I don't see it changing much.

When it doesn't get answered they have no consistent way to move the ball. He's not very accurate midrange.
August 26, 20177 yr comment_286328 And Edmonton would be better off not kicking. O'Neill is a disaster. That punt was so casual even though he flubbed the snap, zero urgency.

Tough first half for the home team... and I don't see it changing much. Comparatively, Sask is playing a better game against the Esks than the Bombers did. Murphy has assembled a very talented team there, as he has done wherever he has been stationed - he is a big reason why Calgary is as good as they are. One could argue that although they are less experienced Sask has a much superior defense to the Bombers as they do not really have any players playing who are known big liabilities in terms of talent level. They have done a good job of continually finding the best players and putting them on the field, rather than settling for players that are not as good but "known commodities". Bombers offence is going to have their hands full with this defense next week. On the flip side Glenn and Marshall could really tear up that soft Bomber D. I hope not, but you have to respect the fact that Sask is really tearing up an Edm team that has more of its players back than when Bombers played them.
August 26, 20177 yr comment_286330 I agree Saskatchewan is playing better than the start of the year. No doubt. As to Edmonton, I don't compare one team having played two different teams and making a comparison. Edmonton was/is a house of cards, and we are seeing them collapse. As close as our game against the Eskis seemed, we really did dominate them. As to Saskatchewan, well play them how we'll play them, and I hope it's well. I'll not underestimate either team.
August 26, 20177 yr comment_286331 Riders looking good! Can they string it together for a few games or go back to being hot and cold?
August 26, 20177 yr comment_286332 Riders playing well, in a lot of areas.....but 21 points off of turnovers, puts a lot of pressure on you. Reilly also doing his share of inaccurate chucking, tonight.
August 26, 20177 yr comment_286333 Of course they are looking good- we soften the Eskies up for them and we figured them out for the rest of the league.... those green assholes should thanks us.
