Eternal optimist

Just wanted everyone to know the 'Rider announcers mentioned the reason Elam isn't playing today is due to a clerical error - they didn't list him on the depth chart. I don't care if it's true or false, I just think it's hilarious.

Interesting read... if nothing else the article has two clips of Carter getting burnt as a DB.

Are they that desperate for WRs with Carter playing DB now?

This article has humbled me significantly.

I've always wondered if Heath was a bit of a cancer in the locker room. Seems like he might be a bit of a selfish player too - more concerned about INTs than just doing his job.

Their three wins thus far are against Toronto (1) and Hamilton (2). In fact, the Riders have yet to beat an opponent that is over .500. Oh yeah, and they lost to Montreal. You could say the same about us, but at least two of our losses were close games (BC / EDM) against Western opponents.

Alright - why on earth would you not give up the safety for 2 there? You're down 9, you give up 2 and it's still an 11 point game. Am I missing something here? Is Chris Jones just stubborn?

God listening to these 'Rider announcers makes me really appreciate Bob Irving.

'Atta boy Duron, you do you.

Wow - one possession game 😑

It's all part of the Chris Jones mega plan

He's coaching now.

in b4 Williams missed FG TD. ...damn it

I hope they cap it off with a reenactment of the 97th Grey Cup.

I would love if they ever caught one of those conversations between a trainer and a player faking an injury through the CFL's "Open mic" feature

Only the Riders' announcers would call faking an injury a "veteran move".

Oh god, I hope not, Suitor would lose his mind.

This is glorious.

Well in fairness to my screen name, I have yet to see you blitz a forum - let alone blitz excessively.

Agree to disagree then.

Exactly - and MLSE has recognized that, and focused advertising towards more profitable revenue streams (like the Toronto Maple Leafs). As a private business, there isn't anything legally wrong with this, it just sucks for the Argos.

You're right, Maple Leafs Entertainment (which also owns the Toronto Maple Leafs) has done wonders for the Argonauts franchise. They haven't neglected the Argonauts at all.

This is a terrible idea, the Jets would absolutely let the Bombers wither and die as they are in direct competition with the Jets for entertainment revenue.

Isn't that usually what happens when you start your car in fourth gear? Maybe that's how Rod drives. They're second in the East right now, they'll be tied for first if they win this game (with a .500 record no less).

Yes - the double reverse flea flicker play at about the Argo's 30 yard line.. usually flea flickers are designed to get the defensive backs to bite on the run, but from where they were on the field, the Argo defenders could recover on route coverage because the ball was already at about the 30 yard line. On top of that - having the ball change hands three times (Nichols -> Player A -> Player B -> Nichols) before making a pass is asking a lot from your offensive line, as the play takes longer to develop, not to mention more laterals means more steps where things can go wrong.
