What is it with this team on the road? They can't seem to get out of their own way. Just atrocious today in a big game.

I would be very tempted to see what Jennings can offer to start the 2nd half. Travis looks as bad as I've ever seen him.

 Chance to turn the momentum on a fumble recovery and we do nothing.
Jackson has to call some draws and screens. The DBs are sitting on our receivers routes

Riders missing their starting quarterback and their tailback and they're still moving the ball

Playoffs will be short in sweet if the offence keeps getting zero traction in the opening half. Sit Lulay for a series to get different perspective from the sidelines. Can't hurt when there is zero production anyways.

They talked about the Lions being week on the run on the pre game show. Can’t stop anything

The Lions are hot garbage tonight.

The Riders came ready to play and the Lions didn’t.

When you struggle to win on the road, why worry about winning a game that could give you home field in the playoffs?

This has been an issue for a few seasons. What is the reason for that? Are our guys just not talented to pull away from defenders or is it a scheme issue? For the last few seasons I've noticed that even on completed passes, the defender is usually there to make the tackle. Not so much YAC

We had a terrible 1st half against Calgary and a great 3rd quarter so lets hope for the same.

But once again, questionable game planning, play calling, and in this game too much RP in the first half.

If that was Jennings at quarterback in the first half of our last two games, it would be an insult show of calling him hesitant, can't read a defense, hanging onto the football too long etc. etc.

The reality is that we make it way too tough for Lulay or Jennings to play quarterback here in Leo Land.

The Riders ran the football a ton in the second quarter against the wind and that was wise.

Zero targets to Burnham with Ed Gainey in his back pocket. However, I would give Lulay 2 more series then see if Jennings can do any better. At worse, it's saving Lulay for the trip to Hamilton in 2 weeks.
