I hate the Riders!

[hoop nut]

Seriously Ken Miller? You call a timeout with 20 seconds to go? Then go deep for a TD? What an a$$hole! I was hoping that one of the Riders would get injured in the final 2 plays of the game. Better yet, the play should have come right at Miller and broke his geriatric hip.

BTW, great call to accept the holding call rather than declining it when it was 22-10 and the Esks were 2nd and goal from the 15 yard line. Way to go boys. Touchdown! SK has to get rid of this idiot.

It was lame but the Esks didn't do a great job of running out the clock and the defense also totally relaxed in the last two minutes. Hopefully this will be a lesson.

Definite lack of class by the Riders there. Not sure whats going through Ken Miller's head as we play them in the last game of the season and potentially in the first game of the playoffs. No way the Esks will forget about that timeout.

I dont think it was poor job of running the clock. The Esks couldve gone for the first down on that play. They didn't have to take a knee. The Esks showed the Riders some respect by not running any unnecessary plays and the Riders call the timeout and go deep for a TD. Lack of class in my opinion.

Knowing how well he can count, perhaps he's worried about the tie-breakers...

It was 2nd and 2 when Z took a knee. The Esks could have got the first down easily but wanted to end the game. Then Miller calls the TO. Karma is a biatch!

Re: I hate the Riders!

It was a dumb call by Miller on both accounts. The only reason you might do it is because of the season series, but that means nothing as the Riders have clinched 2nd already.

But, but Suitor says that's the way their coach plays!

All I know, is it was a lot of fun hearing the Rider fans chant "Let's Go Riders" one last time so I could respond "Already gone!" again.

He probably thought it was the first half.

Echo that.

Piz, you put it perfectly.

But, but Suitor says that's the way their coach plays!

And what Glen says is right! What an incredible douche.

Re: I hate the Riders!

Seeing that, if I were the Esks, instead of punting, I might have just tried to run the 20 off the clock instead of punting right away, but then, there was no point in risking injury to do so and there are two or three more matchups with Saskatchewan to get even.

Suitor did say that, but even he also said that it was a dumb call on Miller's part to run a play. To many bad things can happen in that situation.
