The fact there are only four other QBs in this photo is hilarious. https://www.reddit.com/r/CFL/s/Z0guYrO9M2

I'm completely satisfied with BC or Calgary going into Regina and crushing their hopes. That team can then come here to lose to us. It's a win win without infecting our city with Rider fans.

Drink Keurig coffee? You might be entitled to a $50 payout in a lawsuit settlement

Also why Hamilton got rid of him...

100% get what you're going for, and the best case scenario is fantastic.... But is the juice worth the squeeze??

I can’t say I’m surprised. I don’t want to but Ryan Kesler was friends with a buddy of mine when he played for the moose the one season. Let’s just say I wouldn’t be surprised if others in other cities also came forward.

They need samberg back more than Lowry and Perfetti.

People forget he was prone to the fumbles also. That’s why he wasn’t in the nfl.

I hear you. But, I was at the 2007 game and to see 80% of the crowd cheering for the Riders and then the Bombers losing..... I would just like to feel the other end of the emotional spectrum.

Turns out IRS is not in hospice care but in a rehabilitation center cuz he suffered a large heart attack not long ago. Turns out Facebook rumours are BS.

Also, the 4 leading rushers are in the west, including brady leading yards from the los. So arguably the best backs in the league don’t make the list, but all the 1k wrs save for one makes it. The all star list/system is dumb. It should be first and second team all cfl, With flexibility for positions to make sure you represent the best talent not just positions.

I don't even wanna take the chance of a replay... I'm not mentally strong enough to handle that. The sooner they're gone, the sooner they're NOT playing in our barn at all... No chance of them winning here. Good riddance to bad rubbish and all that...

You pretty much nailed it with the last sentence. Reality of the league is, we don’t have impact players at mac. For me, I’d rather take a guy who was injured but dominant. Like kyrie in his best years. After that, I’d pick a hands up pass rusher, extra end or extra db especially at sam. A better than average sam does far more to help his team than a top mac right now. I knew they’d fall into the trap of picking Jones. I was only surprised we didn’t front him for modp. The guy in the west I would pick if i had to pick one, would actually be aj allen (riders, I know ew) he was the best in the division, while thurman is a big padded tackles guy (and the best of the padders) allen was exceptional at getting back in coverage and has tremendous football iq. In the east and very similar in game to allen is Darkangelo. The guys like that, and kyrie (in his prime) weren’t running around like bighill and soli making the flash plays. They excel by playing much larger areas than the box. It’s exceptionally hard to be a true side line to side line player in the cfl. Border line impossible. But the guys who play one has to opposite side line (kyrie,) and/or from the gaps back into the secondary (biggie) are the real stand outs.

I'm actually pulling for a Riders vs Bombers Grey Cup. Would love to see a different outcome than 2007.

It's pretty much the only thing uniting this board right now...

We can all agree we want to see the Riders lose the WF, preferably in the most humiliating fashion possible.

Long since done.... Grant did nothing this year.

so who would you have chosen as allstar lb instead ? In the east Mcmanis didn't play enough. In edm Morgan and ANderson were hurt. And as for research looked at CFL stats, Given whos voting thats gonna be one of the criteria they use to vote .Maybe we'll get a better idea when the players select the allstars. Thurman seems the most consistent mlb but hes not great at making big plays either. None of the mlb's are in the class of outside lbs Pickett and Beverette..

This is the equivalent of, "I did my own research on Google, and it told me the scientists are wrong!" Tackles are awarded on every single non-scoring offensive snap. All a tackle stat says is you were in the same place when the play ended. Not to mention how spuriously they are awarded in this league without half tackles/Asts.

4 TFL in an every-down role, over an 18-game schedule, as a run-stopping only imp Lber is really bad. Awe and Sankey are both classic cases of tackle padders after yards are gained. Take a look back at the thread I made about the average depth of tackle. I broke down multiple games, especially with Aw,e where he was racking up 10+ tackles and huge amounts of them came after first downs, and greater than average yards per touch had been achieved. Lber is simply the lowest value starting position on Ds in this era. Wil and Mac, for most teams, are relegated to spying Qbs/Rbs and trying to get in the way of pass lanes. That's why so many teams are flipping those spots. Take a look at those 3 LBER teams, and their yards per rush against, rushing yards given up, average rush yards given up on first down, opponent rushes on first down, and big runs given up. If tackles dictated success, you would expect to see similarities in outcome for all 3 teams, and since they were the 3 top linebackers in tackles, that they would be 3 of the top, if not the top Ds across the board vs the run. Only, that is not what you see. What you find is that those 3 teams rank all over last through 2nd in the league in those stats. And that the team that consistently is the top against the run, isn't one with the top tackling Lbers or players in general. Last year, the top tackling team was the riders, with a slightly better than average D. This year, they don't, and they are the best front half D in the league. And who did they turn to at Mac this year? A role-playing Canadian, who, despite having fewer tackles, had a better year than Jones. He 87 tackles with 4 sacks, 3 picks, 3 FF, 4 TFL, and 4 PKDs. Tackles at mac, are an indication of teams running between the tackles. A high volume of tackles 5 yards down field and further, is an indication of not making the play in the gap and coming back to drag a guy down.

According to some, and the hatred for us dominating the CFL for the last half decade, has us definitely being compared to the OLD Montreal Canadiens and their domination which seemed like forever....No NHL fan wanted to see them get a sniff of ol Stanley in those years...Fast track up to today and Montreal fans would love to just make the playoffs every season....I hope to hell that scenario is not waiting for us...In any event I still want to win it all and to heck with the haters....Guess we'll just have to put up with their whining jealousy and keep on with the keepin' on
