CFL Week 2

[gskiman]

I had whole write up posted and then I timed out and it do not save. Here is a summary

I should say 10* is a top bet

SASK home opener after last years disappointing season this isn't Vancouver or Toronto - these fans live and die for this team and winning is the only option.

SASK Doubled up points and yardage OTR compared to EDMON who were playing at home. I think Stephen Jyles is in for a long day.

EDMON beat SASK in all 3 games last year - Once at the start of year when they where catching everyone by surprise and twice at the end when SASK was so beat up they had lost the will.

We have seen 3 competitive games so far this week - Today I think we see a wood shed game

Well for the 1H, both teams found the outhouse, just 5 pts scored in a CFL game.
The new Roughriders coach needs to sketch the woodshed on the board at HT, so his men can get reacquainted with tonights goal.

Good call Gary !

The Roughriders need to run the ball more - the eskies are just pinning their ears back and rushing the QB. Every time they run the ball they get 5 yards.

2nd 5 is better than 2nd and 10, 15, 20.

At least i was right about the Edmonton offense lets hope we dont get burned by by special teams


Go riders!

Sask did not dominate like I thought but I never really felt too nervous about the out come

Nice call!
A wins a win 17-1.
Was the weather funky at all?
Kinda rare to see a CFL team held to 1 pt, but in this case at least it was the right team!

Weather was perfect - Edmonton offense just not very good and then they lost an important piece at the end in Bowman.

Eskimos have a very good defense and made Durant look mortal again. Their offense on the other hand is, shall we say, a work in progress. Congrats Powerz on your very nice weekend!
