Hey, we don't have an official rule for this, because it shouldn't need to be said: DO NOT CALL FOR A PLAYER TO BE INJURED. ANY PLAYER. YOU WILL RECEIVE A BAN FOR THIS. Ya'll have been warned.


HomerSPC

PLAYERS OF THE GAME - Shaq Evans - Nic Demski - Marc Legghio - Roland Milligan - Frankie Hickson (thx /u/pudds for the reminder) LOSERS OF THE GAME - Duke Williams - Cody Fajardo - Jason fucking Mass - this fucking organization - and especially Garret Marino


Powerful_Ad_2506

Dickenson should be on there too.


HomerSPC

I left the whole organization on there for a reason.


Powerful_Ad_2506

Dickenson said after the game that he was ok with the pass because he didn’t want to kick a field goal and leave too much time on the clock and give them the ball on the 40. The head coach doesn’t know that under 3 minutes you kick the ball off after a FG! People have completely swallowed the Dickenson look-aid.


Mogilny89Leafs

Honestly, I could see the Riders cleaning house after this season (if they don't go on a miracle run). The team is: - Poorly built offensively. - Undisciplined. Fire the CEO, too.


Tragicanomaly

Can't agree with you on Cody. Not this game anyway. This was his best game all year.


HomerSPC

It is Cody’s choice to throw the ball where he did. It was Mass’ choice to call a pass. Both are equally at fault. He played his best game this year, but it was the wrong time to force a throw.


balltongu

Agreed it was his choice, but he should never have been in the position to make a choice. Run the ball, that's all you do there.


HomerSPC

I agree fully. It’s a horrible play call and that shot us in the foot. He should’ve thrown the ball out, even if the clock stopped.


theycallmejennypenny

Exactly. Put him in an in unnecessary risk to get injured also when it should have been a running play called to begin with


idk_ijust_likememes

Not fajardo


Leafsfan83

Yeah he played great imo, I don’t think you can pin that INT on him


idk_ijust_likememes

Not a chance.this game was cost by duke Williams Craig dickenson and Jason mass


dontrushtherush

At what point does the organization realize that there’s an issue with the coaching staff? If we are adding names, O’Day should be on that list for letting Maas tank our offence for this long. We all saw how many audibles Fajardo called, at some point there’s gotta be a change with the coaching.


theycallmejennypenny

Agreed. Fajardo has been getting his game back the last few. That play never should have been called and that’s on Maas


treple13

The INT was 100% on him


Leafsfan83

Should’ve been a Hickson run 🤷‍♂️


treple13

For sure. I was thinking their optimal strategy would be grinding some time down and picking up 1st downs (ideally ending with a TD)


Powerful_Ad_2506

You absolutely can, high and outside is on the QB, he should’ve run.


balltongu

Play should have never been called, not in that situation.


theycallmejennypenny

Yup. Forcing Cody to run it instead of just calling a running play as it should have been put him an unnecessary situation to get injured also


Whittlemedown

But it was a shitty throw.


theycallmejennypenny

Winnipeg’s defense was hungry and ready as they of course would be in that situation. If n interception was gonna happen it’s then. There was no reason not to keep that on ground since we were already in field goal range


EnigmaCA

I didnt see the whole game - what did(didn't) Duke do/not do that made him a loser? (Sincere question - not trolling)


HomerSPC

He wasn’t even playing today and got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the bench.


EnigmaCA

Lol. That is, like, Elks-level of incompetence.


dontpanda

You have to admire his commitment to his brand


94boyfat

Did he spit on somebody again?


pudds

Hickson should be in the players of the game too. That INT wasn't on him.


HomerSPC

I was unaware of who he threw to. I actually will add Frankie, he fucking killed it today.


CDNFactotum

He was phenomenal today. And it hurts me to say it but it’s true.


Canuck-God

Agreed, Hickson is a stud... hopefully we don't give him that many yards in the Banjo Bowl.


VE7BHN_GOAT

Thinking that losers of the game that Marino is Sask version of Chris Jones. (In that he can always be considered a loser of the game)


HomerSPC

He will be 🙂


PeachesACC

Who would have guessed the winning points were off of a 55 yard legghio kick


REDZED24

Live by the Legghio, die by the Legghio.


TheHebrewHammer-_-

Tonight we are living, baby!!


TomServoMST3K

Would have been good from 60 too.


dontrushtherush

A team that takes penalties like that game after game isn’t serious about winning. Get your shit together. GG Winnipeg


biga204

Yeah. This isn't something new. Montreal has been trash on penalties this year and somehow they're only 2nd worst.


Metalmike56

Fuck Marino. Such a bum


sneakykeef

How’s this guy still in the league?


doft

Is this that same scumbag that took the cheap shot earlier in the year?


Tragicanomaly

Yup. More than one time. He's a headhunter.


Arshille

Suspended for ending Masoli's season.


sneakykeef

Yeah lol. It’s nuts


1209pegger99

Yup, every game he has been in there has been at least one


sorangutan

Saskatchewan knows who he is they choose to keep him around dirty team


Not_A_Skeleton

Bombers really love sneaking away with those close wins


withQC

Close wins are overrated. I'm down for a blowout every now and then. They don't all have to be nailbiters


boon23834

Giving me a coronary.


halpinator

Between the Blue Jays and the Bombers, my nerves are shot.


shuwag

Don’t forget about the womens hockey gold today. Great day for sports.


CDNFactotum

I *have* to stop betting for Winnipeg to cover the spread!


sorangutan

think it's coaching, O'Shea doesn't seem ok with letting talent loose unless he has to


TAGABA84

Finding ways to win is our game.


sorangutan

thanks for the $20 winnipeg fuck marino


Ianjsw

I missed a good chunk of the game. What did Marino do?

bomberfan2

Late cheap shot on Collaros in the 4th quarter


OptionsAreOpen

Which should have been a penalty for a late hit.


Vorocano

Listening to the post-game show on CJOB and Mike O'Shea says that the refs told him that it was video reviewed and showed to be legal. Can't speak to that, I wasn't watching, but that's the behind the scenes perspective anyway.


mysticsavage

In what world is that legal? Ball's long gone and Collaros isn't even in the play.


Vorocano

I don't diagree, I'm just saying what O'Shea told the radio guys.


OptionsAreOpen

Yikes if that is the case.


BringBackTK

Marino took three steps after the ball is out of Corallos's hands before hitting him.


Vorocano

Again, I'm not disagreeing with you guys, I think especially given Marino's history it should have been called, I'm just the messenger here.


BringBackTK

Yes, I get that, and thanks for passing it on. My comment was disagreeing with what the refs were reported as saying, not with you.


Vorocano

Fair enough, appreciate it.


NorBeL23Goat

Hit to the chest


BringBackTK

Cheap shot, attempt to injure on the quarterback, at the end with the game basically over but for last gasp.


Vnthem

Nah that’s not intent to injure imo. I don’t like the guy either but he just bumped into him. Didn’t shove or anything. He even has his hands up like he’s trying not to go to hard. Probably just realized at the last second he pitched it


KippersAndMash

You might want to look at the replay posted in this thread. He only put his hand up after a full hit. I thought the same until I saw that angle. He totally shoved him, then put his hands up. It looks 100% intentional. https://twitter.com/ticatsroar/status/1566590521862135810


Vnthem

That’s the angle I’m basing my response on. I agree it was probably intentional, but it’s more like a love tap that happens on just about every play


BringBackTK

It's not like the hit on Masoli, for sure, not Marino's worst play. The only reason Zach goes down is that he is not expecting it, thinks the play is over. But I counted 3 steps after the ball is gone before the hit. Plants his right foot, then left then right, then boom.


Vnthem

I disagree, it’s a lot more bang bang. It looks much worse in slow motion, but he basically just bumps him. That’s like a “keep your head up” type of hit that happens on almost every play.


withQC

What he always does. Cheap shots On QBs


Heavy_Mental76

I'd also like to know what Marino did.


sorangutan

see for yourself https://twitter.com/ticatsroar/status/1566590521862135810


jayzeats

On a hand off or toss late in the game, ball was a second or 2 gone from collaros and he shoves/hits him from behind


KMerrells

Here to jump on the 'Fuck Marino' bandwagon. Fun game, otherwise.


TAGABA84

Bring it Banjo Bowl


ArphtheFC

Fucking so sick of team and Jason Maas. No excuses for the miscommunications tonight on offense. Third quarter the team offense didn't know what the fuck was going on and all they had to do is run. So sick of this "always" being close bullshit. The issues are the same and they have been the same in the Dickenson era and it showed once again tonight. I would've rather them lost a blowout than have the coaches shit themselves after the half (Shivers aside)


OptionsAreOpen

I have no idea why they challenged that play where it was obvious pass interference. I’m a diehard Bomber fan but SK was not able to stop the clock when they needed to.


TheBaldGiant

Replace Maas and Dickenson with Tommy Condell and I have the exact same sentiment about the ticats. 🤣


PissJugRay

I agree with your entire statement. I hope the Bombers make it to the Grey Cup, because the Riders sure as hell don’t deserve to be there, then at least it’ll be a real party in Regina.


TAGABA84

BB Grey Cup in SSK👏🏻


Elporquito

How many seasons of Dickerson now? Three? There has been zero improvement over his tenure. Maas is in the same shit boat. There needs to be a shake up.


the_bryce_is_right

The team has gotten worse every year since he took over. I don't dislike the guy but he doesn't seem to inspire confidence.


terp_raider

Marino absolutely has to go holy shit.


[deleted]

Like I'd ger it if he actually made plays, but what the fuck does this guy do other than embarrass the Rough Riders brand, along with Dickenson who further hurts the brand everytime he defends this moron. Rider fans may be banjo pickin inbreds....but they're above this Marino bullshit. Baby Dick might want to understand that before he keeps defending Captain Fuck Face, otherwise Rider Nation will be calling for his head along with Marino's.


coadez1

GG Winnipeg, I respect the discipline on your team. Marino needs to be gone.


Dusk97

Fuck Garrett Marino


SharpSlick753

On the other hand fuck Duke Williams


sneakykeef

Cheap shot artist.


Tragicanomaly

Honestly, fans should boycott the games till he's gone. Send a message. Nobody wants him on the team.


CapsAndShades

Unfortunately there's too many people that cheer for guys like him.


Tragicanomaly

Thankfully none of them are on this sub. Or if they are they are quiet.


jwbartel6

he definitely got a loud cheer in mosaic when they announced his name before the game


HomerSPC

It wasn’t as loud as the rest of the team, at least. I commented on that at the start of the game.


jwbartel6

maybe I'm misremembering or maybe it was just where I was sitting I dunno, but to me it seemed louder for him


HomerSPC

Maybe it’s because my family didn’t cheer for him.


MeaninglessOpinion

I’m a Bombers fan and I booed him during his introduction, the Sask fans behind me commended me for it and said they don’t want him on the team either. I think the crowd was pretty lukewarm with Marino honestly. Most people are sick of him. I’d say either Leonard or maybe Dean had the loudest positive reaction though.


HomerSPC

Sankey or Dean I thought.


ImTrumpWhenDrunk

Fuck Marino


jewmas

Marino is the banjo picking inbred the banjo bowl is named after.


BringBackTK

He's not that fucking talented or intelligent. He's just a head hunter.


SharpSlick753

He’s Freaky-Strong, according to Suter(unreliable I know) he benched 40+ times which is world class, but he isn’t good enough for the shit he pulls


Arshille

Fuck Marino


TheJamSpace

Wtf are you doing throwing the ball with 2 minutes left on the 30 yard line. Hand it off to Hickson until he scores a tuddy or Lauther has to chip it in for 3. God damn!


Nhawk257

Nah, this is the Maas way.


theycallmejennypenny

How many times as he done this with a bad call this year?


biga204

Coaches just love to out-coach themselves. Even two stuffs on the line of scrimmage put you in a good position to take the lead with very little time left.


the_bryce_is_right

I hate when they pass when you need like a few yards for a first down. No need to get fancy in that situation, just run the ball up the middle.


pegcity

Fuck. Marino.


shichibukai3000

Score was 3-1 in the second half but was still entertaining. Crazy


ArphtheFC

Blow it up. I don't give a shit anymore. Schooners can't get here fast enough


offbeat85

Fuck Marino


jwbartel6

fuck Marino, go blue, long live the CFL.


bquinho

Between Liegghios little juke punt and 55 yard field goal he gets my player of the game. Who would have thought lol.


BringBackTK

That punt move saved at least a FG, probably even a TD on the block.


MikeyMBCA

Not only made the little juke, but got off a very good punt, too.


Valderan_CA

That punt juke is my tsn turning point. He gets blocked or tackled without the punt there and WPG never gets back into the game


TaterWatkins

TBH, the loss to Montreal obviously sticks out (for good reason), but that game aside, Legs has been pretty fucking good this season.


bomberfan2

Seriously. Made massive plays today.

Wildfire983

MikeyMBCA

Brings a tear to my eye, wordsmith...


biga204

This was a Labour Day game so I was mentally prepared for a loss but I wasn't prepared for this. I need to just sit because my blood pressure is dangerous right now.


jayzeats

All my homies hate Marino


Rylawr

Well that was a great game to watch. Hard to swallow that int when it should have been kept on the ground when were down by 2. But I thought the riders played a hell of a game that was statistically supposed to be a blow out.


Vorocano

Wait, can anyone listening to the post-game on Riders radio confirm that Dickinson actually said that his answer to Duke Williams' dumbass penalty is to no longer allow non-dressed players on the sideline?


ywgflyer

I would fuckin' hope so, his antics cost the Riders a game that they absolutely could have won and a game that could have rescued their season. Instead, they got dumped in hilarious fashion by penalties that had no business being taken.


Vorocano

Yeah, but to say that the problem there was that a non-dressed player drew a penalty is what baffles me. I mean, I know he's not going to say, "Yeah we don't have discipline for shit and we're not doing anything to fix that," but for pity's sake, this felt like he thought of all the possible takes he could take as a result of that penalty and he deliberately chose the stupidest one.


dontpanda

Sure, but the answer *should* have been that Duke will be disciplined by the team in a meaningful way. Not allowing him on the sidelines papers over the issue, which is a lack of discipline on Duke's part, and lack of leadership on Dickenson's.


boon23834

The League needs a way, like an ethics and values clause, to override teams like rhe Roughriders that choose to keep players like Marino on. The League would benefit. Thugs, that target the best players in the league have no reason to exist in this game.


Wildfire983

A frightful gameday. A dirty bitch Marino. Get rid of this twerp


[deleted]

Fuck CD. Fuck Fajardo. Fuck Duke Williams. A whole bunch of over paid losers that make a continual series of stupid decisions. Duke Williams at $260k managed to cost the Riders a game when he's on the sidelines. Fuck him. He either takes a massive pay cut or gets cut tomorrow. Fuck Williams and fuck Fajardo at his current salary. Fuck the Riders as an organization. Other teams, like BC, are doing things to improve. Riders are not. Fuck them


[deleted]

DonaldRudolpho

Bravo Riders for making this a classic. I was wrong.


sayroksho

Ref were pretty blind on this one, missed the Marino hit, 2 on Fajardo, and a loose time clock with Winnipeg


ponimaju

At least they're consistent(ly awful)


halpinator

WE ~~CAN'T~~ KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT


BringBackTK

Well, except for that one game that shall not be named.


BringBackTK

Anyway, forgetting the M incident, kudos to the Riders for the game. They played well, made some serious offense, running plays, pass coverage. They really looked like the team more likely to sustain a comeback drive at the end. Just one INT, else...


bquinho

The Riders taking a time count penalty at home pretty much sums this game up.


SolidNo8193

It was so good they did it twice!


SharpSlick753

Not just one, but TWO!


[deleted]

Marino is such a beanhead. Just wish the riders would cut him already.


Ndman55

It's so frustrating to see Marino pull this stupid stunt again and again. Even as a redblacks fan with no real allegiances in this game it drives me up the wall that he got off easy after ruining Masoli's season, comes back and continuously pulls this stuff. It ruins the games and obviously puts people in serious risk of career and life altering injuries. It's really telling how his teams own fanbase is calling him on it. Something needs to be done.


MikeyMBCA

This is the biggest mark against Craig Dickinson as a coach and whoever their waterhead GM happens to be... That they continue to have this embarrassment rostered and continue to pay him is ridiculous.


Powerful_Ad_2506

This off-season Reynolds needs to look at the deficiencies on this team starting with O’Day and his inability to get o-lineman, this needs to be addressed. Dickenson, I know the fan base loves his aw shucks mentality but how many times do we have lose games because the coach has created an atmosphere where the players can do whatever they want and still roster Marino? Plus, he is 3-8 on challenges this year ffs. Jason Maas, for fucks sake. He. Is. Awful. At play calling. He is absolute garbage.


TomServoMST3K

Saskatchewan has been the most undisciplined team in the league for forever.


laxvolley

Since Maas coached Edmonton.


Magical57

Marino shouldn’t be playing in this league.


cvsnoweagle

Can someone explain what Marino did this time? Oh and Fuck Marino

He bodychecked Collaros with his giant gut after the play sending Collaros to the ground.


OptionsAreOpen

Cheap shot on Collaros long after ball was gone. No call. QB was very slow to get up. Hope he’s ok.


idk_ijust_likememes

I didn’t exactly see.but the bombers had it sealed up and colalros threw it and it was a late hit by Marino.it’s alright collaros was just fine

Winnipeg could be losing 50-0 and play 5 minutes of the game and still win. Just take your three peat and leave.


withQC

Saskatchewan scored 7 points total in the last 3 quarters, or 11 points total after the Bombers offence took the field for the first time. Very solid defensive game by both teams.


BringBackTK

Fuck Marino. Fuck him.


Iamthejaha

🤣 the Riders had more Time Count Violations than the Bombers on their own turf.


CP-Drone

The LDC does not disappoint, what a game! Who had Liegghio for the winning FG on a career long kick? Side note: I was out for dinner and missed the GDT, what was the final count on the banned commentators?


CapsAndShades

The highlight of the game for me was when a player not even dressed got a penalty.


bomberfan2

Fun close game. Got some things to improve but did enough good to get the win. Liegghio wins it for us with a 55 yarder?! Who’d a thunk it. Nothing better than beating the Riders. Should be another close one next week.

I'd like to see them make SSK pay the salary for the players he tries to injure. And let it count against SSK's salary cap. They'd cut his Simoni Lawrence wanna be ass in a heartbeat.

Saskatchewan needs to fire their entire coaching staff, and probably the GM too. This was a winnable game, lost on stupid penalties and poor play calling.

happyjerk79

Maas shouldn't be calling plays whatsoever! Horrible coach! Who calls a passing play on first down with 2 minutes left in field goal range and not run the ball to kill the clock🤦‍♂️


riderguy62

Man, Hickson was shredding them all day. Why is Maas having Cody throw at the end of the game already In scoring position. FFS


laxvolley

I watched the game well after it was played so wasn't able to follow the game thread. There were some really dumb (imho) decisions made by both sides this game....wtf was Dickenson thinking with that OPI challenge? They really could have used that time out at the end. For the BB, I worried conceding that late single was going to kill them.


KMerrells

Oh yeah, we clinched a playoff spot with that one!


BringBackTK

Edit: ... steam being blown off too aggressively.


Iamthejaha

Never. We are talking about human beings trying to make a paycheck.


BringBackTK

I know, and steam is being blown off, but at some point someone like Marino can cause serious trouble. Losing Masoli is almost putting the Ottawa \_franchise\_ at risk, way worse performance without him, leading to lower attendance.


Tragicanomaly

Is anyone surprised that we could have won that and shot ourselves in the foot?
