GDT BC at Ssk, Sat Nov 8, 5:30PM

[BBRT]

bc defence was suspect all season - true to form in the playoffs. 

When BC went with the 3 man rush during the last Rider drive I knew they were hooped. These 3 man rush defenses never work. Just ask the Bombers as they seemed to have loved them.

[Horseman]

Yep, the 3 man rush is called the prevent defence, which only accomplishes 1 thing...it prevents you from winning. Run the same **** defence that got you to that point and flush the 3 man crap.

[Horseman]

This means that Sask has a chance to win their 5th Grey Cup in 105 years. LOL

[Tecno]

just a terrible weekend in winnipeg

At least I have Norris/McClaren winning the F1 sprint race today, and Norris on pole for tomorrow and likely winning the driver championship!  After my Bombers, that's the only other sport that matters to me

Ya the 3 man rush may work against the inexperienced or brutal Qb, but given time, most capable Qbs can find an open man. I m pro 4 man rush and pressure as pressure gets to even the most experienced guys, if they're rushed mistakes are made.

[Cool Spot]

Wow, 3 of the 4 playoffs games so far have exciting, and decided in the final seconds of the game. We need to do a few rule changes to prevent this from happening again.

[Blue In BC]

That Rider int near their goal line was the turning point with a 10 point swing. I feel sad for some of my Lions friends but it's the nature of the game. One play can decide the outcome of any game.

[TBURGESS]

BC screwed up the clock management. If Rourke simply keeps the ball instead of throwing it away, or they call a run play, they kill another 20 seconds of clock. Riders scored with 11 seconds left so they would have run out of time. That's the third or fourth game this season where a team lost because they didn't kill the clock properly. 

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

Have to give Harris and the Rider offence credit, they marched the ball when they had to and BC couldn't stop them. Two excellent games this weekend.

[The Zipp]

[GOLDMEMBER]

It is an aspect of the game that most don't think of, but I've always said the last 3 minutes of the game is the game within the game, teams that figure out and manage the clock properly win, and the ignorant ones don't. Calgary and BC both had the game in hand and blew it because they didn't manage the clock properly.

It's not as calculated as some people make it out to be, teams are desperate to make first downs the best way they know how, poor clock management is what's pointed out when they fail to execute their plan properly. That 2 and out non-sense at a critical time in the game is what the Bombers have replicated too often in the last 2 seasons.

[Waffler]

BC owner claiming the ball hit the ground (with grainy pics). I thought it MIGHT have but couldn't see proof.

Not sure where they got these photos, as nothing on the broadcast showed it wasn't a catch. Even so, the Riders would have just lined up and ran another short slant or curl and got the TD in the next play or 2
