It's official: we own the Riders. We own them here. We own them there. We own them everywhere.

Corey Mace looked like a 12 year old boy.

What a butt kicking. Where's Jayrock? I hope that was a legit enough sellout for him. My ears are still ringing.

Bring on Arrrrrebuckle in the 2007 backup QB revenge cup.

hallelujah

Kudos to the protection throughout the game
Definitely kudos to the coaching staff

Grey Cup bound vs the Kellyless (tough luck) Argos

Yeah, tough break for Chad Kelly and the Argos with Chad's injury. That didn't look good at all. Strange that Kelly didn't appear to be in any pain at all. Just looked confused at his predicament as he tried to straighten out his leg. You could tell something wasn't right anatomically with that shin/ankle, and I've since heard it was his tibia (shin) bone that was broken/fractured.

Toronto is going to have Arbuckle ready and they are a very good team with a great defence and we're going to have to play our best game of the season to come out of BC with the win.

I want to add that when they introduced the refs I saw #22 in the group!  I almost had an aneurysm.  He's the bleepitybleep that cost us the first SSK game with 2 completely fake DPIs.

I spent the whole game searching for him on the field with binocs, and I couldn't.  So I'm nearly positive he must have been either a backup official or a help-the-HC/communication official.

I was so thankful!  2 fake DPIs might have been murder for us if they happen early to stop our momo.

LMAO! Awesome name for the game. Kevin Glenn's arm loves it too! What a great team that was. I'm sure we win that Grey Cup if Kevin Glenn doesn't go down.

Thanks for the update from Princess Auto Stadium. Oh yes, I remember #22 throwing phantom DPI flags in Regina very well.

I didn't see #22 at all today and I would have been terrified if he was out there working the game.

I think the officials actually did a good job today of letting the teams play and the Riders kept it relatively clean although there were a few sleazy things going on out there especially when the game was getting away from them. Overall I thought they did a good job so kudos to them.

Been reading the posts on the Roughrider forum and laughing my *** off. So far the Rider fans have blamed the loss on their head coach, their offensive and defensive coordinators, the referees for not calling penalties on the Bombers, the command center fro not overturning calls against the Riders, the noisy ccrowd, the panel who are absolutely "crowing" about the Bombers,  Glen Suter for showing and raving about Bomber highlights, and even the ghost of Craig Dickenson..

One "fan" claimed that the Bombers were playing with 14 players on defence. At least one person got it right. He claimed that one team was just glad to be in the game and the other was there to win it!

Some Final Comments (after the game_:

"They're just better than we are. They're arrogant pricks but they're better."

"Fifth year in a row I won't be watching the Grey Cup "

"Nobody showed up to play tonight. Nobody."

"It's like the Riders gave their playbook to Winnipeg before the game started."

"Our last four playoff defeats have been at the hands of the Blue Bombers. They own us, no other way to put it."

IT MUST SUCK TO BE A RIDER FAN!"

I don't blame their fans for blaming their coach. Going for it on 3rd down on their own 24 waits 12 minutes to go was the most ridiculous call I've ever seen in my 60 years watching the game. 12 minutes is an absolute eternity, punt the ball away, get a turnover+which they did, score, which they did, and it's a one score hpgsme. Turn the ball over on downs and now the game is over. Boneheaded call.

The transactions show him moved to the PR and not the IR. However, the roster doesn't match all the transaction activity yesterday.

Wow, that's rough!  Don't IR people get their name on the cup, or no?  PR people certainly don't.  I think everyone gets a ring?

Is there a thing where IR people get playoff money but PR people don't?  Why not just IR Cole if we don't need him at the moment?  I think Cole is a keeper as a backup.

[Pigskin]

Pretty good day. Jets win another game to go 14-1 to start the season. Then the Bombers dominate the Riders to get to there 5 straight GC.

Kramdi 9 DTs and 1 sack. and Schmekel 3 DTs, both had a very strong game.

Before the play happened, my buddy and I were talking about how they might have to go for it at that point in the game.

No point in playing passively at that point. Have no issue with him going for it.

You can score 2 TDs in three minutes in the CFL. There's 12 minutes left. They go for it and miss. Then they're down three TDs with better field position a little later and punt. Admittedly that one worked out as Lucky dropped the ball but still. Made no sense.

Wouldn't have made a difference but Corey went full Happy Meal in the fourth quarter.
