I would be fine with that… but you gotta know we would do some strange 13th man or other sillyness or other shenanigans if we had to actually play the game
The Riders are off to a great start no doubt. But the wins are coming from hard work and playing the full game. They’ll be seriously dangerous when their injured player return
Riders win over BC this week was clearly their best game of the year. The defence played tough all game even with the lead. In the first three games they let the opponents back in the game after taking the lead. Lauther was good on all his field goal attempts, a very reassuring sign.
I think the Riders might have the horses this year. Do they have the swagger? To beat the Bombers it might come down to that. Mental toughness , mistake free football will be required. That and keep the penalties to a minimum.
I predicted that the Bombers wouldn’t lose a game this year. That was last fall. So far i’m batting a 100%. If we are going to change that then we first need to clean up some of the sloppy play. Eliminate the brain farts. Maintain discipline. And finally, get healthy. Then i believe we will win at least one game against them this year. Hard to beat a dynasty.
Can’t always help healthy but discipline is at least 90-95% a choice. There are going to be mental breakdowns but whoever is going on for the riders is going to hurt us sometime.
There is a third matchup late in the year too. I think that’ll be the decider. I commented to a bomber fan member last week that numbers will take Labour Day and Riders will take banjo bowl this year and division championship will be decided in the third matchup!
