Riders blow it in Banjo Bowl
Make it 10 losses for the Riders this season, the latest a 22-7 defeat at the hands of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in a Banjo Bowl that may be better soon forgotten.
The Riders may have lost again but why they lost was different than most games this season. Early on, the defence had easily it’s best game of the season but it was the offence that couldn’t keep up.
Through the first 30 minutes of play, the Bombers turned over the ball five times and the Riders only managed to put seven points on the board.
“Those situations happen. You have to take advantage of them and we didn’t today,” said interim head coach Bob Dyce.
