Non-Bomber Games - Week 1

[The Zipp]

Overstated on the negative imo, they will be slightly better than last year, too early to know.  Don't look great but calling them a joke is a wee bit over the top. Maybe go to practice when they come and share that sediment with them.

I will boo them like a boo every other team that comes here and call them all sorts of names. 

Cornelius was throwing dirt balls with no touch all game...their o line was terrible...they lose on "guaranteed" win night in front of their largest crowd in years and haven't won a home game in years...sounds like a joke of a franchise to me.

Man, I hope VAJ has turned a corner, because it doesn?t look like there is a viable QB in the whole league other than Zach.

Elks, zero home wins ever... yikes

Chris Jones, too many hats... Cornelius isn't the guy.

Harris getting crushed late was cringeworthy.  Dickenson yikes.

Free tickets...  not everyone, apparently it was select sections... but still..gotta ne costly

One game, take a breath.  Bad start yes. A hear a lot of homer attitude in your post.  I like a balanced informed approach personally when assessing our competition.

Edmonton is not a joke???

What is their home record last season until now??? Now that?s a joke!! A really bad joke.

[Pigskin]

Either Rides front 7 are very good, or Elks OL is terrible.

Riders still have to pretty good RBs.

Elks looked like a hot mess.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Jones is a Joke!

Cornelius threw for 202 yds  - 102 on one play then the rest of the game only 100. Eugene Lewis was talking how with the recievers they have, he didn't have to be perfect,,,but perfection is a long way off.
Dunbar 200k  7 yards

Mitchell 150k -5yds

Sask. defence did look very good , their front 4 is as good as any in the league and ran lots of blitzes. We'll have to be prepared.

Did I miss something, didn't see an injury.  I turned off at end.

Final SSK play on 3rd down and long was for Harris to stay in and throw a hail mary to the EZ.  Right after the throw he gets pushed into the air by a DT and goes flying onto his back (clean hit).  Comes up holding his side in big pain.  Ridersforum is going mental on the dumb play call.

Since I picked EDM in pickems, I feel kind of robbed.  Here's the pre-snap view of the 3rd down sneak-to-win-the-game attempt.  Last dude on the line clearly jumps the snap and is offside.  I saw it live, easy call.  Refs ignored it.  Even worse, that's the end Locksley runs to for the sweep!  This is normally called in the CFL.  They get this TD (because they'd have 3 more tries) they likely win as no O was doing well all night.  Argh

it's close but #3 seems to line up offside. Refs usually catch that.  Unfortunate it seems a crucial miss on the officials' part.

What happened to Locksley sweeping outside is why that play probably wouldn't work very often for Piggy, fast LB and DB's focused on cutting him down.

Saw that when it happened too, I thought they would have called it.

I think he was off side too, but your jpg doesn't clearly show that. His feet, which you can't see, could still be on the line, not over.
