Not good seeing Rourke limping off the field putting no weight on the ankle.

Craig Dickenson fighting with Dave to see who can make more inexplicable decisions. Despite what the smoothbrains on TSN think, kicking two field goals instead of turning the ball over twice would have given the Riders a chance, you never know what might happen - like Rourke getting hurt. Which he did.

Although since the Riders lost, I'm ok with it, this week anyway.

That was an old fashion whipping. Just imagine how bad it would have been if Rourke didn't leave the game. They might have put up +40.

Good to see that the Riders upstanding citizen Garrett Marino with at least 3 attempts to injure in the first half with head targetting. Congrats Craig, you classless hack, you should cut his a$$

Dave is calling the offense to the limitations of his starting QB. It's a stark contrast to the Lions where every offensive play is on the table at any time. The Stamps rely on trying to make less mistakes than their opponent to win games while the Lions take what they want. It is what it is but next year they better have a plan on trying to be more competitive in regards to winning a Grey Cup as it's not going to be easy to sell tickets for another year of a broken down Bo.

First play of the game for Marino and a attempt at an ear hole hit on Whitehead.

https://twitter.com/user/status/1560834130354610177

You know why these type of things make me furious. Because I have parents of players watching the games and they automatically thing the game is dangerous because of sh$$heads like Marino.

Shame on Craig and the Riders for continuing to employ this thug, especially after his BS apology.

The Refs were really off of the ball on him as he had two more heads down helmet target attempts in the first half.

Thanks for making my job tougher Riders.

He’s the Vontaze Burfect of the CFL. Not wired to play clean football.

Awful game day experience, bad stadium, zero marketing.

The funny/sad thing is, that with 20k people, a lot of the negatives about the stadium go away. Folks can easily go to the washroom and grab a beer at half time, they (in theory) don't have to sit high up.


What do people feel would make for a better game day experience? The tailgating is the best in the league, the Stamps have been offering the 'Gridiron Gardens' for those who don't tailgate pregame.

That was probably the weakest horse collar tackle I ever seen though. Glad the Als managed to win in the end.

Only in the CFL will a lead switch twice within a minute.

That was a fun game to watch. And you gotta love the Al's owner. He's very much out there promoting his team and wearing his heart on his sleeve. Very different from the situation in Calgary.

Yeah, he forced that one, but Reggie didn't take a good path to the ball and he mistimed his jump.

The defense has not looked good, but a heck of a punch out by Muhammad. Stamps ball!

Lol. Bo misses a 5yd swing to Mills. He's so done. We need Maier in a bad way.

Can’t the Stamps give Maier a shot? Put him in for one drive at least
