Guess the wi...I saw the Wally thing after the game. Guess the winningest coach in CFL history knows what he's talking about. <br /><br />I've said from the beginning that if we don't go 3-2 minimum over this 5 game west team schedule we are done. That means we need 2 of our next 3. Every injury Edmonton sustains improves our odds but that will be a tough one.<br /><br />Rider Prophethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05111976277479263164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457862363782171899.post-62055206524454997792017-08-15T06:56:38.498-06:002017-08-15T06:56:38.498-06:00Was a very good win for the team, lots of positive...Was a very good win for the team, lots of positives however lets hope they have learned from there 1st bye week, as this is playoffs next three games. <br /><br />Going into Edmonton were they dont play well and back to back with the Bombers. Needing some help this week and hope Eskimos keep there streak going.<br /><br />Looking ahead I would like to see the quick passing game continue(helped a lot against BC) and still need to pound the ball bit more.<br /><br />Thought overall coverage was a lot better(not because of Gaineys game) but like Prohpet mentioned, the defense actually made some plays.<br /><br />We are better than last year and now this is biggest step on August 25 to show Riderville and Cfl that gap is closing.<br /><br />As a side note I would like to see Bagg get more looks <br /><br />D in YEGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457862363782171899.post-47435296332526875972017-08-14T20:32:04.090-06:002017-08-14T20:32:04.090-06:00A good sign for the Riders. Something for Ridervil...A good sign for the Riders. Something for Riderville to cheer for at last. Stating the obvious, the next 3 games are probably going to let us know if we're a playoff contender - two on the road. Edmonton is really banged up but won't be easy. Losing Sewell & Howard REALLY hurts. Can't really say much bad about the Riders this time around but my thoughts are the same as yours - dress another DB. How bad are we if Carter is our backup? Don't know if you heard Wally's comments shown on TSN prior to game time but he was NOT impressed with his team's focus. Weren't ready to play - go figure. Take Riders lightly you're 5-3 & maybe 5-4 next week when Stamps come to town. It can turn quickly. In a nutshell this is how I see it with the 3 game set coming up. We sit while the other 4 play each other. Two will go another game up on Riders. The best case scenario is Edm & Calgary win. I don't see Riders catching Calgary & with 7-0 record, Esks almost have a crossover locked up - 8 wins would have done it last year. They don't need much to go 10-8 or better, injuries or not. As long as Reilly's healthy they're a tough out. So should the Alberta teams win, that brings BC 5-4 & Wpg @ 5-3 closer with 2 big games with Bombers coming up. It looks to me like Riders need to win both & get the tiebreaker. Lose all 3 & go 3-7 & Wpg @ 7 wins & likely all the teams with 7 or more, it's pretty much over. They only have 3 games left with Cal & Edm in West after that so it would be tough to climb out of the cellar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
