Rigmaiden has been with BC since the start of 2021 in various roles, he's as responsible for player personnel as much as anyone in the Lions organization. Adding the GM role provides him the ability to choose his coaching staff.

Also the same owner that insisted Rourke play over Adams, which ultimately led to VAJ to Calgary and Campbell’s firing. VAJ and Coach Campbell hugging it out after they played this year tells me that Adam’s knows his demotion wasn’t a coaching decision.

BC fans are fickle. They're either all in or all out. Attendance could go to 35-40,000 or fall to 15,000 dpending on the team's performance. And they have an owner spending a lot of money to try to get fans to the games. Ringmaiden was also an Asst GM so he was in on those bad contracts.

Unfortunately, there are no Canadian cities clamouring for a team. I was hoping Canadian patriotism & pride in our unique brand of football would get people back into the other 8 teams football stadium across the league but there's no Elbows Up crowds coming to the games. They'd rather travel to Seattle, Buffalo or Detroit to watch the NFL.

Agree with a lot of your assessment of the BC roster. To be fair Rigmaiden was only mad GM in Nov 2024 so a lot of the brutal contracts are millstones he inherited. Obviously I’m not a Lions fan but just for the health and competitiveness of that franchise, I think we see Rigmaiden make his mark over the next offseason and beyond.

For sure, but then you have guys complaining more about short weeks between games. There is no perfect schedule with 9 teams.

Yep, pretty good assessment. Amazing just how good Ouelette became once Ka'Deem Carey showed up. I will say that Ouelette wouldn't have got the yards he did against the Als or Bombers.

Ouelette won the game for them, Maier rode on his back.

looks like Marner is finally done in Toronto - good riddance.

are we seeing a more mellow O'Shea this year? Where did he get that hat - has he been listening to a lot of Jimmy Buffett lately? lol

Maier was able to pull off that victory because BC is just so bad. Had the Riders played the Bombers or Als with their young starter, they'd have lost. Masoli just gave the game away. Never been a fan...

This bye system favours some teams & not others. The NFL plays a 17 game schedule with just one bye. I'd be in favour of getting rid of the third bye as it just exyends the season. Just go with two.

Perfect example of a game manager. His gold standard is not to turn over the ball and hope the D and ST’s excel.

BC is just an awful team. They continue to put all their financial resources into their starting qb (Rourke) & his receivers. And a DE who has one skill: rushing the passer. Their defense has basically stayed the same with a smaller DL that has a hard time stopping the run & a secondary that has no support from the Front 7. Ryan Ringmaiden is supposed to be this genius GM who found all our talent in the late teens & early 20's before departing for BC. I see nothing that makes me think he took care of all the holes on the OL & defense. Buck has his work cut out for him.

Who's the emergency signing in BC? Dolegala? Dolegala? Dukes? Patterson? Maybe heavy balls? With all the injuries, no one is going to deal a QB right now so it's gotta be a free agent..

Do you think the coaches think Vanterpool could slide into Stanley Bryant's LT spot if he retires after this season?

Yiu don't really get up to game speed or condition in todays cfl via practice...u need live reps

He was still working and involved remotely actually...had input and interaction...just wasn't here

I have no negative feelings towards Adam Bighill playing for the Stamps . If he can still play then good for him. I think he should stay retired but that's just me. I wish Adam the best as he was a warrior for us.

Woods is on the 6 game IR so he's not an option. Even if he comes off early it will take some time to get up to game speed and conditioning.

If BO is back then Person for COoley makes a ton of sense...Woods is still hurt i think Bailey for Weitz too would make a lot of sense...I don't think 3 import oline is a dire need...we need to play Wallace and let him develop....and hes hardly looked outta place We also need to develop a speed/power end so this is the perfect opportunity

Brady is big enough to play MAC linebacker. Should we Chris Jones the lineup? /s

I’m not sure Cooley has shown enough to warrant a 3rd RB on the roster.

MORE LINEBACKERS!!!
