A bit sloppy from both teams at times but probably the most exciting game of the year so far. Close, lead changes, OT.
Harris once again seemed steady but unspectacular. The Riders still seem to run a pretty vanilla offence. Morrow was a beast back there. Leaned on him a bit to much at the end of the 4th but he nearly pulled it off.
The refs need to stop ruining big plays with flags. Especially returns. Unless it’s as obvious as that blindside block, stop throwing stupid holding and illegal block flags. They kept killing the momentum of the game. It’s not on the players either. Refs could throw a flag every play. For some reason on returns they call it super tight. Gotta let ‘em play.
Didn’t look like there was more than 22-23k there. Beautiful Saturday at 5pm against the riders and the crowd looked sparse. And say what you will about McMahon sucking but it’s actually quite suitable when the crowd is that small. There’s barely any line ups. Seats and sight lines are good. Unless you’re on the benches. Those are literal torture devices.
