Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Edmonton, August 10, 2023

Kramdi there 1st with pressure on Ford.  Not good enough they say.  He is coming into his own.

Kramdi was also the guy downfield double-covering that big Ford pass.

I really hope the O guys step up for their "new guy" Dru.  It'll take an amazing game from them all to make up for throws like that whiff to Demski.  It can be done, but they need career games.

EDM going heavy zone to prey on new guy Dru.  Forcing him to make the hard passes.  That was an amazing dart to Bailey

Brady beast.  Game is won on the line of scrimmage.

Hall adjusted well.  Most embarrassing game someone cried lol.

Bailey back to back beast.

Brown throwing darts 25%? Lol

[pjrocksmb]

Brady beast 6 yards not 3. 

[pjrocksmb]

Brady rinse repeat.  Brown looks polished on the fakes.  He is ready.

[TecnoGenius]

Nah we scored with run and pass mix.  Brady is best RB in the league.  Give him the rock.  He can get close to 5 most times.

So far EDM hasn't committed to stopping the run on 1st OR they simply can't do it.  They need to stuff the box on 1st, and 2nd & short.  It could be they simply don't have the talent.  Aren't they #9 in run D?

If I'm Dru, I'm chucking to Lawler-mostly, because he can make up for the inaccuracy.

[TecnoGenius]

Lawler was more offside than the D.  We really got really lucky there.  Really really really

I checked and if they did video review they'd see the D probably was just a hair NOT offside whilst Lawler was a foot or 2 offside.  Depends on if you go by the ball starting to move vs ball leaves the ground.  They'd often let the Lawler thing slide, but not when there might be offsetting offsides?

Riderfans will be apoplectic the refs let us steal that one

[The Zipp]

Might only need 26 points to win this one...

Agree on Lawler

Touch down, downtown Dru Brown.

One a dime.  25%?

Demski beast.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Mr Brown and Brady look outstanding!

Hope Zach is OK?

[TecnoGenius]

Sorry, not Demski offside, it was our guy on the camera side.  Not sure who, will check later.  But we were offside.  No flag, no foul 

[pjrocksmb]

Run pass mix, worked great.  Edm is frazzled.  We are back running on all cylinders.  Brown is looking great.  So many doubted him.  Roasted or fried?

[TecnoGenius]

Hope Zach is OK?

How long does it take to heal a tweaked neck for a QB?  I really really doubt it's concussion, even with his history, but sometimes those side hits do weird things to the brain.  But I swear there wasn't any big whack to the helmet by the D or the turf.  The problem is Zach's history...  My money is on a tweak, and I hope those are 1-3 week things.  Riderfans already salivating over LDC and BB advantage if Zach is out.

[TecnoGenius]

We have all the momentum.  Must keep it up.  Make it easy on the O.

Nice whack by BA.  Glad all the players hid the play so refs don't get antsy.

[bludan]

Ugh.  Killed our momentum. Dumb defensive play call

[Tehedra]

Defense is killing us on these breakdowns with the run plays
