Game Thread: BC Lions at Saskatchewan

[jerrym]

Riders get Canadian WR Kian Schaffer-Baker back, who was second among Canadian WRs in 2022, but have to start third string Jake Dolegala due to injuries to Trevor Harris and Mason Fine. Could be an easy win for BC but Riderville is always tough.

Dolegala connects with Schaffer-Baker on a 15 yard pass for the first TD of the game. Could an upset be brewing?

Missed most of the first quarter. But the Riders D looked strong stopping BC on that last drive.

And the Riders take the lead back. Dolegala and his receivers moving the ball well.

Lions can be burnt by deep passing

They can, but the Riders receivers have made some outstanding catches in coverage.

[Mocha]

Another stellar catch on a throw that could've easily been picked off.

But that catch from Emilus was exceptional - WOW!!!

Yep - 2 incredible grabs; him with KSB, Picton & Lenius (if he could stay healthy) = best Canadian receiver talent in the league IMO.

Shouldn’t this be in the CFL room?

I was in transit all day driving to North Carolina, but listened to most of the game on Sirius. I’ve said this before, but Michael Ball is so unprofessionally bad. Worst homer I’ve ever heard.
