Lions at Riders GDT

[The Zipp]

I never want to cheer for this sorry team again in my life !!!

BC SUCKS

[bunker]

Dickinson should have called a timeout.
Sask D saved them.
Perkins should be cut

[dd]

Ya, Perkins #59 is brutal, 2 holding penalties and beat like a dog at the line time and time again. Send him packing

[The Zipp]

This aged poorly

No...they won today but overall are poorly coached and not very good

No you overstated during a GDT how bad the Riders are while they beat a top 3 team with the 3rd stringer.  Yes they are not great but not as bad as you suggest.  Aged poorly.

They've been bad all season but they played a heck of a game tonight somehow.

What was BC thinking on last play with  8 seconds left? They take a kickoff and kneel quickly to save time. Why not just take the ball at the 40?

[Sergio105]

Good game overall despite some bad coaching on both sides.

You have to kick the football off after a TD or FG in the last 3 minutes

I called for BC to win as did most of us....wasn't paying much attention as an was getting ready to evacuate just in case the fire swings south and north,   There are fires on both sides of Penticton so escape routes are limited.    We've been through this before in 2011 when half of Slave Lake burned down and we were evacuated for 5 weeks before being allowed to return.    There is some cooler temps and a bit of rain over the next few days so hope we aren't in the fires cross hairs.

So what the hell happened to BC and how did the Riders manage to pull this off with VAJ under centre?    By the scorecard it looked like BC made a valiant comeback but fell just short?

Thought I was  going to be 4 for 4 on the pickems.....well at least the Lions look beatable after they thoroughly thrashed the Stamps the game prior.    Bombers have a chance to create some distance for their quest for home field advantage however I wouldn't take the Als lightly even at home.    They beat us at home last season after Legghio's PAT and short field goal flubber!

Entertaining game. A loss looks good on the Lions though. Their DL, Cherry was in a walking boot and crutches on the sideline. Riders lost 2 DB's in the 2nd half which allowed the Lions to make the game interesting. Not sure if or how long those 2 will be out. They have a bye to recover.

The kicked a FG not a TD. The same rule might apply, not sure?

In the last 3 min, even after a FG there must be a kick off, can't take it at the 40.

Lol! BC losing to the lost Dickerson led Riders.  That would be a miracle!

One miracle served up with a cherry on top!

[DM83]

Don?t think the ball would have made the end zone.

Great weekend for 3rd string QBs. good for the,.
Poor Dickerson.  He looked so confused.

Poor Adams Jr.  I don?t like his previous antics( crying on the sideline )

But, I HAVE new respect for him after his performance today.  He deserves some kind of award this year.
And thanks to Sask for knocking off BC, putting us in a position to control our destiny.
