Riders @ B.C.

This was my response to some of the poster's on Roddy P's blog the other night after the Rider's loss to B.C..........


I love coming on here and the first couple of things i notice is...... "we don't have a QB" and/or "Durant sucks".

It was good to see Jyles go in because we now know that it isn't just Durant who has issues back there. There has to be a bigger problem here that needs to be fixed. Is LaPolice not putting our QB's in a position to succeed? When we do something good, why don't we go back to it later in the game? When we do something that doesn't work, why do we continue to do it again & again & again?

We got beat at the line of scrimmage badly again! Our o-line had the shit beat out of them. Our QB's were running for their lives. Our running game didn't have a snif! Ever team will blitz on 2nd down because we don't have an answer for them!

The only time Buck Pierce got touched was when he ran for some yards or when his teammates smacked him on the head and said "good job". Our defence is on the field too long because WE CAN'T STOP THEIR OFFENCE!!!!!!! I don't think B.C. had a 2 and out until the 4th quarter.

Was the ball glued to Steven Jyles' hand?

We lost the field position battle badly. How many drives did we start inside our own 20? 4 - 5?

We need a return game.

What is wrong with Wes Cates? I know the o-line is brutal but it looked like he was walking on some plays.

1:25 left in the second quarter. We are 2nd and 3 and driving the ball. How many people knew we were going to run?? That many eh? B.C. had 8 guys on the line of scrimmage. Do you think they knew? And we hand it off 5 yards deep in the backfield.

I think Rob Bagg was off-side about 15 times tonight.

Our defence does look small. When we only rush four guys, the o-line beats the hell out of our guys. We don't come anywhere near the QB.

The pre-game report said the Riders lead the league in time-of-possession so stop saying the defence is tired and on the field too long. It's a veteran group. Why do they get a free-pass every game??? Seriously???

Stay with the plan. Develop our QB's.

Again, we're .500. Right where you experts said we would be so what's the problem?



I try not to be a Negative Nancy after games but this past one pissed me off a little. I also can't stand when people think it's the QB who is the only problem. Anyone who knows anything about football will say we lost that game at the line-of-scrimmage. Our d-line and o-line have to pick it up if we're going to be successful. Later.
