Posted September 3, 20177 yr comment_288197 Not an easy game to pick stars. But here goes. 1 Mo. Allways money. Bad games, bad systems, bad teams, or every thing great. He allways brings it and does his job. 2 Nichols. Couple ugly tosses, sask D really left him reeling when looking for more then dump passes. But still a bright spot in a bad game. 3 Flanders. Showed great versatility catching some big passes out of the back field. HH, the entire sask D for diving on the field every time the bombers went hurry up. They made the CFL look like the worst parts of soccer. Atleast the loop hole will be closed after this game im sure.
September 3, 20177 yr comment_288200 Leggett, Flanders & Harris for me. Nichols and the receivers sans Dress were all bad.
September 3, 20177 yr comment_288203 Nichols cannot get a star for telegraphing passes the way he did this game... I agree with Leggett, Flanders and Harris
September 3, 20177 yr comment_288205 Dressler was just okay today. They keyed on him and Harris and it worked. Too many Bomber mistakes. Typical LD game for us. Lost the momentum and couldn't recover.
September 3, 20177 yr comment_288211 IMO they need to get Thorpe on the roster for next week. If we are going to throw those short passes all game (Riders were dropping 8 to 9 back), then we need a guy like Thorpe to get some yac yards
September 3, 20177 yr comment_288212 The good news is to have this kind of game now and change out the weak parts...next game will really tell us what our team is made of.
September 3, 20177 yr comment_288213 Nichols was horrible until garbage time IMO. That early INT was the turning point, just couldn't happen, especially like that, maybe on a throw trying to push it deep.
September 3, 20177 yr comment_288221 And the Saskatchewan Roughriders continue adding to the legacy of dirt by reducing the CFL to soccer injury status.

They had an answer for our hurry-up and in spite of Harris' hissy fits and O'Shea complaining to the official who was tuning him out because, well, he is just O'Shea and not Wally, we could do nothing about it. Sask player coming off the field laughing at us was just icing on the cake for them. Jones stole Lapo's lunch money today.
September 4, 20177 yr comment_288296 Im not sure id consider what the riders did by faking injuries being outcoached.. I actually think its poor reffing and if refs had a sack.. Hed put an end to it immediately. The riders made a mockery of the game.. Thats not being outcoached... Its being assholes.

Thorpe could not have been worse than any of these, but I am willing to cut Dressler some slack as it was his first game back.

September 4, 20177 yr comment_288302 The 'fake' injury is smart. We used it in high school for dogs sake. Slowed us down and stopped us from running our quick offense. Nothing the matter with it and there's nothing that the refs can do about it. It's not like they can ignore injuries on the field.

Because garbage it is.

High school 40 years ago is a wee bit different than doing it playing pro. There's nothing the refs could do about a guy using a knife to tackle someone with either but it doesnt happen.

September 4, 20177 yr comment_288309 Granted nothing as embarassing as tonights gong show... but still, not sure what refs could do - just let the play continue?

September 4, 20177 yr comment_288314 Player injured or faking has to miss 3 plays, change that to missing the whole offensive series he was injured on.

September 4, 20177 yr comment_288316 How does anyone expect the refs to 'crack down' on injuries or cramps? The player is taken off the field for 3 plays. Want it changed so they have to stay off longer for every injury or just the one's that may be fake when teams are playing us? FTR: I'd rather not lose Loffler for more than 3 plays when he got injured and I don't want the refs using their digression when deciding if an injury is real or not.

You can tell if it's legit or not. Like the Rider DL with the cast smiling & sticking his tongue out when he supposedly hurt his hand as he walked off the field. The fact that we're even talking about this means the Riders were cheating.
