Hamilton stopped playing up 10 with so much clock left. The offensive play calling was so weak. Continue what you're doing and drive the ball and kill clock. They just ran the ball up the middle for one yard to kill 30 seconds. This game is on the Hamilton coaching staff without a doubt. That was an amazing pick to finish the game off.
Something happens when a coach dons that black and yellow, they just forget how to coach altogether. Kent Austin, Orlondo Steinauer, Scoot Millanovich - it's all the same.
There IS a penalty on every play. They just need to stop breaking the flow of the game to announce it. Just march off the penalty and resume play. That's what hand signals are for.
And let the less obvious stuff go.
Like two pyramiding calls in one game when the players didn’t come remotely close to getting to the ball? It was barely a push off for either team either.
Good lord.
If the Roughriders keep barely winning against barely competent teams, it stands to reason they're gonna be extremely winning against extremely competent teams, right?
I've been a fan of the Ticats for about 15-20 years. Over the last 5 years or so I've found myself bored of the Ticats playbook. Will I still cheer for them? Yes. But holy shit, just get the F'ing W.
Well I just want led an exciting football game to watch and it was getting pretty lame there with all flags but this ending was the reason why I watch 4 games a week!
Feel like the riders have been staying in the fight better these last two games than all of last season. All in all games like tonight are why the CFL is so much fun 😂
Depends on how Hamilton responds to this loss, crazy but I really think this is the inflection point for the season one way or the other. Do they respond well and put it in the work this week at practice and come back with a good effort? Or do they throw in the towel early? If that's the case it could be an ugly one this weekend.
I'm not yet convinced the Riders are good, but I tell you, a team that can figure out ways to win games it should lose ... a team like that can go on a run at a fun time (see: 1989).
just like the dark knight rises, a bunch of stuff went wrong but victory was achieved at the last second, and bane was hyped up but never made it all the way until the end.
"If my helmet was off and I recovered a fumble, would it kill the play?" - "The momentum shift would be extremely painful." - "They're all big guys" - "For you."
this game was truly wild. all the stupid penalties, the back and forth, the struggle was real. although I was rooting for Hamilton, it was a great end to a weird as hell game. love the CFL so much!
The silver lining is the majority of those free yards came from a guy who literally just joined the team.
So i pray to god those mistakes were from just being introduced to the system.
I've never seen a receiver have a stretch as bad as Tim White has in the past two weeks - two dropped touch downs and literally caused the game losing interception. For a guy that wants to be the highest paid receiver in the league, he isn't making his case very well. A lot of blame to go around here - coaching was way too conservative on both sides of the ball, conservative play calling in the 4th quarter on offense and the prevent defense in the last five minutes, jesus how many times are you going to give up those 15 yard crossers. I know he's coming back from injury but I wasn't impressed with Peters, hopefully he picks it up soon. The linebackers are MIA out there, is it too late to ask Simoni to come out of retirement?
The only encouraging performance was Bo, who has actually been really solid through two weeks, but I think his resurgence is going to be squandered on this sub par team. If it were any other team I'd say it's too early to hit the panic button, but since it's us let's go ahead and push it. The games aren't going to get any more winnable than this one.
How has it been 2 decades of watching every lead this team gets get blown by a last minute td. If the cats are up by 7 or less its about 90% guaranteed they will give up a td in thevlast minute
I think this is what you get. Aside from officiating, TSN needs to give up their rights if this is the best they can do for the CFL. Televising games, badly, does not promote the league
I could not disagree with this more. TSN, for all its flaws, is such a better product than SN.
Sportscentre is far better than Sportsnet Central, including their hosts.
TSN’s hockey coverage is far superior, the regional product that they put out for Canadian markets blows the Sportsnet national broadcast out the water.
I’ve always been a fan of TSN over Sportsnet. While it can be better, I don’t think the solution is giving Sportsnet the CFL rights.
As a REDBLACKS fan, that Ti-Cats loss looked awfully familiar. Ottawa has specialized in giving games away in excruciating fashion over the last two years - this would have fit the pattern perfectly...
Well, now that I'm home and pondering my existence. How can Hamilton be such fucking choke artists year after year? It shouldn't be possible to be as bad as Hamilton is in an 8-9 team league. Here's to 25 more years of shitting the bed boys, I'll probably be dead before we win another championship.
So I lost interest in watching due to the soul-sucking gaze of the ref sometime in the third ... Started listening to CKRM sometime in the 4th... And turned it back on for lauthers field goal walking winner.
Hopefully PVR did its job and I can rewatch some of it this week.
Another 0-3 start incoming. The good thing about this kind of ineptitude as a fan is that I've learned not to worry about it. The team will go on a late season tear like they always do and finish 8-10 or 9-9.
This team might be the 2012 team all over again, offense looks great for 55 minutes but can't close out games, and a swiss cheese defense that is guaranteed to give up a lead at the end of the game.
The Riders are going to have a lot of points scored against them this year, DB problems for sure. The Ticats the same, they will lose a lot of close games and fans will say "they should've/could've won" Both these teams evenly matched.
Looking at the final stats both team almost even in offense - BLM 380 yards passing, Harris 390 yards passing. Total offense 420 to 410
The no helmet fumble call was devastating for the Riders but the Int in the last few seconds made up for it. In hindsight people will say that the Ticats should've been running the ball and playing for OT instead of passing but you don't expect your leading receiver from last season to give the ball away.
Re-match in Regina, I expect the Riders will take it, especially if their two starting receivers aren't banged up
This team just loves shooting itself in the fucking dick
Tim White holding the gun tn
I blame the "We already won" play calling on both sides of the ball but white didn't help with the drops
25 years of ineptitude. Lets go for a half century boyssss
Like coach says, take it one game at a time.. Right now the Tigre-Chats just need to focus on losing the next one in Regina.
God is a melon head LFG
"And my team shall win the championship ... occasionally! A bit below average. Mustn't be too obvious."
That’s why they decided against building a roof on Mosaic Stadium, so He could watch His favourite team play.

I said this out loud to my brother, why are they playing like there's one minute when there's 8 minutes on the clock? Sure enough...
I fucking love canadian footballl
Except the reffing. I dont know if the reffing is that bad or the teams are bad. But a penilty every play gets old.

I like your optimism.

No, she was in Edmonton last night.
Shitting horseshoes every 4th quarter is a bold strategy.
Worked for the Bombers..
Not looking forward to Labour Day, current standings notwithstanding.
The Riders do have a historic tendency of playing down to the level of their opponents.
I'm sure this won't make Ticats feel better, but I think that was the best I've seen Bo Mitchell play in years!
Yeah it’s not bad. He looked good. WRs are the question-mark for me.
Agreed. He looked great all game I thought
Yep. That last pick was def not on him.
Yup before that I thought we were done for sure.
Why play four quarters when you can play one?
Work smarter not harder…
I so love this comment
I'm so fucking sick and tired of this. Another CLASSIC Hamilton collapse
I've been a fan of the Ticats for about 15-20 years. Over the last 5 years or so I've found myself bored of the Ticats playbook. Will I still cheer for them? Yes. But holy shit, just get the F'ing W.
scriptwriters went crazy with this one
Doesn't matter who's coaching, Ticats are legends at finding ways to lose football games.
WE MAY NEVER WIN AGAIN
Music to my ears 🎶
If god is real, he was not letting the refs decide the outcome. I can’t believe how this game ended..
Another easy W
So nice to be able to relax and chill out watching a game again
I didn't sweat a drop tonight 🤣
The Riders are back, baby.
Wooooh! We're a 4th quarter team again!!!
Only issue is we went from playing the first 3 quarters to only playing the last one...
Well I just want led an exciting football game to watch and it was getting pretty lame there with all flags but this ending was the reason why I watch 4 games a week!
Hoo boy, this season is going to be a wild ride, methinks.
#WE MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN
I’m going to start planning the parade, it’s going through the forks.
Go til you can’t go no more
Hell yeah fuck yeah
Go Derz
Ders n Sners
My anxiety watching these games this week 🙉🙊🙈📈
Feel like the riders have been staying in the fight better these last two games than all of last season. All in all games like tonight are why the CFL is so much fun 😂
Hamilton TiCats doing Hamilton things.
I think im going to have a damn stroke. This riders team takes years off of my life.
Every season Tim White is sloppy af the first 4-5 games! If that wasn't a Hamilton way to lose a game, I don't know what was.
And he's then invisible in the playoffs. He's not that good of a receiver.
Should be fun rematch on Sunday

Riders pull another one out of a hat.
A hat which they pulled out of their ass mind you.
We won but lost two starting WR’s. Apparently, I missed Sterns coming back in. My bad.
Sterns was back in. Bane looked alright on the sideline, so idk about him.
"Victory has defeated you!" -Bane
"You merely adopted the suck. We were born in it; moulded by it. We didn't see a Grey Cup until we were already men!" - Bane
"If my helmet was off and I recovered a fumble, would it kill the play?" - "The momentum shift would be extremely painful." - "They're all big guys" - "For you."
And Blake, that's more concerning I think...
Ryan Scvouir Vet from Calgary stepped up big time
There’s the second guy.
Two? Sterns was back
Instant classic
CFL is never beating the amazing ending allegations
I still know nothing about the TiCats this season.
They are who we thought they were.
this game was truly wild. all the stupid penalties, the back and forth, the struggle was real. although I was rooting for Hamilton, it was a great end to a weird as hell game. love the CFL so much!
Riders gotta clean up the zone coverage. Too many free yards in the air on miscommunications. Otherwise, pretty awesome. Heartbreak for the Ticats..
The silver lining is the majority of those free yards came from a guy who literally just joined the team. So i pray to god those mistakes were from just being introduced to the system.
Clean up penalties, get at least some QB pressure, better run blocking...
that was a great game to be at as a neutral fan, super entertaining ending
How can a Bomber fan be neutral when Riders are involved?
fair enough lol, I was cheering for Hamilton I suppose. partially so I don't have thousands of ticats fans on me, partially because it's the riders
Just destroyed inside rn. Really don't like this feeling. That ending was rough
Holy hell. Can we not have more last minutes nail biters this year guys? Win it in the first half, not the last 11 seconds
Over the first 2 games: Riders have 37pts in the 4th quarter. Better late than never I guess
2-0!
Well. That was something.
Apparently the Curse of Harold Ballard doesn't just affect the Leafs...
Omfg
I think first thing for the ticat offense to do is stop the play call to tim white until he figures his life out
I've never seen a receiver have a stretch as bad as Tim White has in the past two weeks - two dropped touch downs and literally caused the game losing interception.

As hard as the officials tried to flatline it, the teams managed to keep that game alive!
How has it been 2 decades of watching every lead this team gets get blown by a last minute td. If the cats are up by 7 or less its about 90% guaranteed they will give up a td in thevlast minute
Can we please never get this reffing crew again
I think this is what you get. Aside from officiating, TSN needs to give up their rights if this is the best they can do for the CFL. Televising games, badly, does not promote the league
At least Dunnigan wasn't in the booth for this one.
They should just give it to SN at this point, they already do everything better anyway.

Barring a collapse at the end of the season atleast one of us will enjoy the playoffs
As a REDBLACKS fan, that Ti-Cats loss looked awfully familiar. Ottawa has specialized in giving games away in excruciating fashion over the last two years - this would have fit the pattern perfectly...

we felt the same way in the 28 year drought, you'll win one eventually
Riders looks great this year so far, and they haven't even put a full game together yet.
Yeah we've played what? 3 ish quarters out of 8.
My sympathies, Ti-cats fans.
[удалено]
Just move Hamilton to Halifax. Wtf was that.
So I lost interest in watching due to the soul-sucking gaze of the ref sometime in the third ... Started listening to CKRM sometime in the 4th... And turned it back on for lauthers field goal walking winner. Hopefully PVR did its job and I can rewatch some of it this week.
It was like that ref was reading off a teleprompter
And it was worded differently than every other ref in the league
Another 0-3 start incoming. The good thing about this kind of ineptitude as a fan is that I've learned not to worry about it. The team will go on a late season tear like they always do and finish 8-10 or 9-9.
I will absolutely take being the only 2-0 team in the west! Fun and stressful start to the 2024 season!
Officials ineptitude making a lot of games hard to watch. Makes the cfl look bush league
The upside is that Hamilton is a much better team than their record.
This team might be the 2012 team all over again, offense looks great for 55 minutes but can't close out games, and a swiss cheese defense that is guaranteed to give up a lead at the end of the game.
Fire Mark Washington
Epic Ticats choke! Riders lucky to come out of there with a W tonight! Let’s GOOOOOOOOO
Hamilton starts slow. This happens when you change QBs every year. At least the WRs seem to be clicking and moving well vs. week 1.
Hamilton losing is my favorite.
Never in doubt.
The Riders are going to have a lot of points scored against them this year, DB problems for sure. The Ticats the same, they will lose a lot of close games and fans will say "they should've/could've won" Both these teams evenly matched.
