Always nice to see the Lions squash the Riders in there house!
Course if Riders win that helps the Blue Bombers immensely so it is a win win!! :)

Can SSK possibly win this??  Is there any hope?

I guess if they get a all-holds-are-ok ref that day, maybe.
Never go full Rider!

This is probably the best defence the Riders have fielded so far this season.  They?ll still give up 35 points and lose by 18.  Can?t stand either team, but go Lions... there?s nothing better then listening to a bunch of whining Riderville fans.

It sucks we have to cheer for a Riders win but we need to cheer for a Riders win.

Yes we do.  I actually think SSK's strength is their holding O (with a blind ref) and their dink & dunk pass, & run game.  I'm not scared of their D.  Good, but not great enough to pin down BC's O.

But if SSK can somehow confuse Rourke and hold him down like we did (pass pressure and a Bulter shutdown will really help there) then maybe they can have crowd momo going into the 4th and pull one out.

But I seriously doubt it.  And I won't pickem SSK!

Anyhow, GO RIDERS!!

It's funny how many people will be cheering for the Riders, but picked BC to win.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

From the standings stand-point, it's better for us, if the Riders win. Their DL will get a boost with the return of Robertson, Leonard and the dirty Marino. That might give the Lions OL a hard time of protecting Rouke. 

That said, I think the Lions will sneak this one out due to a costly penalty.

It hurts deeply to say this but GO RIDERS!!

BC Needs to lose a stinker like we did last week at some point this season.  Beat themselves with mistakes.  They are a well coached team though and are playing confident football.

BC's Achilles heal is special teams. If they fix that, they'll be right up there with the Bombers.

No question they are close. That head to head match up was telling! Let?s see how that team performs when it is -20 or colder in Winnipeg..

Lions are the best team in the league.
Winnipegs start was nice.  But as the saying goes," it's not how you start, but how you finish."
Bucks play calling and misuse of his offensive personal is concerning.( McRae)
Winnipegs offensive line will see Zacs season come to a injury. Grey is awful.

They gave up 297 yards and a TD on Kickoff returns and were lucky that Philpot tripped or it would have been 2 TD's and 330+ yards.
