It would have fine if Ferri didn't try to hit Nicholls head.

It is time for Kerry Joseph to be put to pasture. I think it is an INT.

haha good call

[OzSome]

If I was Chamblin, I would put Sunseri in on next Riders' possession. Sunseri actually plays better when he is coming off the bench than starting.

[OzSome]

hahahaha!! This looks like it's going another joke of a game. Riders' offense is just brutal and Nicholls is showing the reason why he is a backup QB. The only reason why they are moving forward is because of RB John White.

Oh yeah it is also because of Riders D's inability to make the stop.

lol - and this game is being shown on espn in America

[OzSome]

What a joke!! Joseph thrown his 4th interception. Get rid of him.

Wow, Nicholls answered back with an interception pass on the next play. Brutal!!

[OzSome]

It looks like Swain ducked before he catch the ball.

I have only been watching for the past 5 minutes and bits and pieces when Det-Arizona is on commercial, but if these lame duck skip passes have been the norm hard to imagine this is selling anything to the Americans or that many (any?) are left watching this abmination.

Bad defense by #45. Not sure why he stopped running there. It was a gift to Kerry Joseph and if he miss that pass, that would be brutal.

That is BS!! I watched a bad unentertaining NFL at times too. Every league have this kind of terrible game. That didn't stop me from watching that game.

Sure but my guess is that the NFL has a bigger foothold with you than the CFL does with most Americans.

You were likely to watch NFL regardless of the quality of the game because it is a part of Canadian sport life. The CFL is a 5th rate sport down in the States and tough to follow for the hardcore fan, I doubt the casual fan will spend a ton of time giving it a chance (although doubt many would have given it a chance to start with.)

From the frozen stands of Commonwealth it is cold! I'm amazed the Riders are only down 10. That was the worst I've seen a team in a long time

I think they are trying to give the Dinos a run for most turnovers this weekend

I am actually glad they are only down by 10 to make this game interesting. Both Joseph and Nicholls are brutal QBs. Joseph got luck on that TD because McCoil had a brain fart stopping instead of running with the Riders' WR. I would even try Sunseri in the 2nd half just to see what he can do. Sunseri is terrible as a starter but he usually had success when he comes off the bench.

And in goes Reilly.

[MissTeeks]

And in goes Sunseri.

[OzSome]

Good non-PI call. Rob Bagg was way ahead of the play when him and the defender fell.

[OzSome]

Now this game gets exciting. I am glad Chamblin pulled out geriatric Kerry Joseph and put a much younger QB in.

[OzSome]

Come on that Riders receiver was way offside and he couldn't get open?

[OzSome]

I thought that was the right call to gamble on 3rd down but I did not expect them to do a shotgun formation. Dumb play.
