Didn't we get beat by Wi...Gotta go with Riders. Didn't we get beat by Willy/Matthews at QB this year? I agree a lot has changed but Jones is right. The defence has played bad for awhile now when you talk about yards allowed, which was his reference point. He mentioned giving up 400/game is not acceptable. The last 3 games - 385 vs a Bomber team who gave us the win (thank you, Matt), 494 vs Ottawa & 430 vs Toronto, possibly even worse than Montreal. Again Argos had 2 missed FG's & an overthrown ball on a wide open Green late. How does Green NOT get covered late in a game? Still Riders by 14 is a good guess. The problem is if the defence continues this trend of the last 3 games, it may mean nothing with 4 games vs some of the top scoring teams in the league next up. The CFL simulator has the Riders finishing 10-8 when they account for strength of opponents & throw all the stats into the computer. In other words, likely seeing the Riders going 1-3 in the last 4. Problem with the Riders? So far they have managed to win despite all the stats. Whereas a lot of teams have been throwing games away, Riders have found a way. Will it catch up to them? We'll see.

But with the exception of Bowman and Muamba also have been known to half ass it when the game starts slipping out of hand. I'm honestly banking on our D winning us this game.

That's concerning based on our short-staffed O this week. Although any defence right now is a concern for our O.<br />Luckily no Duran Carter on D this time around to give up big plays and take penalties. And Collaros can't serve up as many picks as Bridge and Watford did that day.Govindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17266076144685069975noreply@blogger.com
