What does it take to get thrown out of a game? That was a deliberate attempt to injure Collaros. There’s too many helmet to helmet hits with nothing much being done. Nyles Morgan had two in a 10 min span with little consequence.

So the Riders Cheap shot Collaros in the head again! 2nd LDC in a row!! Different coach, same philosophy!! Bombers on a roll, Riders sliding. Next week in the banjo Bowl will be the same as last year because of the play by defensive moron. Marinos brother?

Riderville, keep drinking that green koolaid Roughriders gm Jeremy O’Day keeps serving you. Wake up, another season, same scenario being played out. Jeremy O’Day in the end is the person responsible for the on field product. It’s obvious Jeremy O’Day has got to go, or you can continue to keep on the same path and not winning any CFL Championship under his stewardship

Gee I hope not.

This is pretend Bob Barker reminding all you football GM’s out there to have your Dan Marinos spayed or neutered. Good night everybody!

Great game, congrats to Winnipeg.

Anyone crying the blues over the hit collaros took, shake your head. It’s football. Remember when big hill took an unnecessary shot on Patterson that could have injured? He did not cry the blues he called it like it is. Football. Tackle. Violent game. If people are going to call for retribution every time someone with a glass jaw gets his bell rung and needs to leave the game, likely whining about how unfair it is, we should just start playing flag.

Not saying the hit was clean. Saying it happens. Move on.

We will move on and crush the Riders next week in the Banjo Bowl like last year after the hit by Robertson.

Give your head a shake. One was a late helmet to helmet hit and the other was a hit that could have been avoided if the qb would have done the sensible thing and knelt down to end the game instead of running around like an idiot. Of course Bighill is going to finish the play. The refs should be the most disappointed after this game as they did EVERYTHING they could to gift the Riders a win.

Ok Chachi WHA WHA WHA…

First, Rider’s fans bi+ched like crazy, if Patterson didn’t good on him. To this point we don’t know if Zach will…but many Rider’s fans most certainly did. I would say both QB hits were beyond what I expect to see without a penalty.

Bombers fortunate to be let off the hook. Can’t believe Harris couldn’t find a guy on the 2 pt conversion.

Riders lost 2 centres and put Micah in. Micah destroyed Old Jake Thomas and held Willy Jefferson at bay.

Riders were fortunate Bombers were sloppy on Pass D, taking some idiotic DPIs.

Bomber d-line with a 3 man rush is equivalent to NO RUSH.

For much of game Bighill was just loping around, spectating, but got seriously injured on his only real blitz attempt late in the game.

Won’t know much about Collaros til at least Tuesday afternoon. Guess Wpg. doctors don’t work Mondays? Anyways, entire CFL knows how coy O’Shea is when dealing with QB injuries.

The real tell = if Walters brings in a ringer like Jake Doe or an NFL castoff QB . . . . that informs us the injury to Zach is more than a nick. Its a mild concussion to be sure - but when you’re Zach Collaros there are no minor concussions. Bombers will play safe this weekend and not dress Zach. Hence, enter Jake Doe.

Bomber o-line really missed Lord Stanley - their run blocking was pretty weak and their pass blocking was atrocious. Neither Zach nor Stripper had much thinking time.

I remember a goon named Jackson Jethcoat coached by the old goon Mike O’shea knocking a couple Rider QBs out with helmet to helmet shots. Eye for an eye bud. Suck it up. Collaros just needs to retire his glass jaw.

Pathetic excuses for trying to justify a dirty hit.

Saskatchewan Roughriders 33 vs Winnipeg Blue Bombers 35.

Winnipeg qb Zack Collaros anticipated sideline TSN speech at half time before he took off his jersey after taking a very dirty Saskatchewan Roughriders #90 Miles Brown headshot, tsk tsk, undisciplined and unnecessary. Zack then hands off the Bombers team controls in his teams victory to the capable #2 qb Chris Strevler.

“Were up 22-7, thats all I care about, Thanks Brit Dort”

Sideline interview cut off ala Nathan Rourke and Fahan Lalji in Victoria BC.

Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach Cory Mace is DeVone Claybrooks Craig Dickerson 2.0 all wrapped into one package. Cory even starting to use Dickerson quotes post game.
