Game looks pretty good so far, in that the Argos are giving the Riders a handful so far. Riders just scored and now trail by a TD at 24 - 17 with a few minutes left in the first half. Anyone else cheering for the Argos tonight? :lol: 8) :popcorn:

I cheer for any team playing the Riders. :thup:

I hope they get smoked. We'd rather play the semi here than have the Lions dodge projectiles at Taylor Field.

While I would enjoy the drama of Saturday's game with everything on the line, a Saskatchewan loss would give us two more selling days for the West Semi-Final. It may not seem like much, but every little bit helps when you only have a weeks to move that many tickets.

Let's hope the Are-no-goods can hang on to this half-time lead!

TSn panel brought up a solid point, Bishop almost has to continue this game, otherwise the Riders are dealing with a QB issue come the playoff game against the Lions. Now I am not sure if I want him to throw a couple of more picks, or to play well enough to stay in. I am glad the Riders are using the draw in the red zone, the Lions need to be ready for that come the big game.

I thought the Argos could have put them in a huge hole when they were inside the 10 and leading 21-7 and had to settle for FG after trying a stupid reverse on 2nd and 3.

The Riders D will tighten in the 2nd half, the Argos won't. Remember the score last Saturday at the half?

The D can tighten, but man does Bishop throw a beauty deep ball pick, Miles is going to enjoy watching this game film.

Hope you are right Rammer ... the Bishop INT factor could very well be the difference.

That said a loss tonight may also sour many B.C based Rider fans.

Can't see many making the trip and their aren't as many transplanted Rider fans here as some think, IMO. So much for the D tightening against Joseph, another TD and the Argos go up by 14, as the score now reaches 31 - 17.

Ican't believe I'm cheering for the Argos...I hate those center-of-the-universe guys. But in this case, I have to cheer for them...sigh...

Another penalty against the Riders...nice...
