Dunnigan is so right. We have to go to the hurry up offense.

And people wonder why I am so negative in regards to the teams I cheer for???

There was one brutal Intentional Grounding call.

The rest is just the Stamps D playing STUPID

I don't blame the refs either. Reynolds really has been cold for the last 1/4 of the season. It's hurting the offense.

Yeah right. Browner and Anderson deserve everything they get. They are so overrated its unbelievable.

Some of those penalties were warranted but some were not penalties but the Riders are getting the all the calls so far. The one in particular was the intentional grounding call on Burris.

The Stamps haven't got any pressure on Durant, he has been allowed to run, move around and wait for guys to get open. Burris looked so composed early on but really did nothing in the 2nd qtr..

Problem was you could see this coming. Stamps up 11-0 but unable to step on the Riders throat, offense keeps punting, you knew the Riders would come around eventually.

Talk about getting complacent. They can still win this game but I doubt they're going to. They just have no killer instinct.

Well you know there's lots of time left in the game but we've seen this movie before and the Stampeders never come back against the Riders in the 2nd half of games as it's usually the other way around. I'm hoping for the best but I know that Calgary teams aren't very good at facing adversity.

Calgary started off well in the game. They were ahead 11-0 and they seems to be doing everything right. For some reason defense let off and Keon Raymond is just schooled by Chris Getzlaf, then the Burris untimely INT that gave Riders another TD. Riders now 14-11 after the 1st half.

I thought the refs made 2 brutal call in the 1st half. One was grounding by Burris. He looks like the ball went further than the scrimmage. I am not convinced that the ref should have called that PI. Let the freaking players dictate the game. Dressler wasn't even close to the play. It's BS!!

It's getting too annoying to hear Suitor and Cuthbert just freaking talking about the stupid phone call for almost the whole freaking quarter. We get it Durant called his dad and his game got better after, that's it.

Chris Jones need to replace Keon Raymond and put Brandon Isaac with the safety's help on Getzlaf.

I don't recall mentioning either of those penalties, but lemme check my original post... confirmed... didn't mention anything about them.

Reading comprehension FTW.

The refs have to call that illegal contact... it occurred before the throw, so it removed a potential receiver.

What are you talking about? Anderson is playing well so far. It wasn't him getting schooled out there. It was Keon Raymond playing bad letting Getzlaf catch those balls with authority.

But isn't Browner just holding his ground? He's facing the QB, feet firmly on the ground and just put his arms out. Dressler went for a flop.

Yeah Fantuz and Dressler have been taken out of the game. It's up to the rest of the defense to take the other guys away and as usual they just can't contain all three of Fantuz, Getzlaf, and Dressler.

Bertuzzied · 11-21-2010, 04:12 PM

Pathetic. 2nd and 4 and they run again.
give it up. We are losing for sure if it keeps going like this.

socalwingfan · 11-21-2010, 04:12 PM

2nd and 4 draw play that everyone in the stadium saw coming. Brilliant start to the half

That's what I thought too.

theonlywhiteout · 11-21-2010, 04:15 PM

This predictable playcalling will lose us the game

OzSome · 11-21-2010, 04:15 PM

I think Burris need to run the ball himself once in awhile. I see some openings there fore him.

Erick Estrada · 11-21-2010, 04:17 PM

That 3 man rush worked out there but man that's just way too much time for Durant to sit and go through his reads.

He's gone away from that. They barely ever use the zone read play anymore.
