Eternal optimist

Cautiously optimistic.

I finally got my wish of JFG starting over Kohlert. Here's to hoping he pulls through for me so I don't look like a fool!

Not to mention, they have a QB who plays 'on the edge' and is always at risk of getting injured.

I'm glad to see Kohlert get the hook... twice there were throws to him where Nichols hit him square in the numbers only to have the ball pop up for an INT... just can't turn the ball over like that, especially in the playoffs.

I'm just saying, that two or three commenters have said that's to get Davis reps, and that Glenn would go in if Nichols was out. Which makes sense to me.  I think Do or Die said Glenn could run the offence in his sleep. DOD knows more than me about the game.
Anyway, I for one would be surprised if they would play Davis over Glenn in a game that mattered.

I'd buy $60 scotch and be drunk all the time too if I had a diastema that large. Seriously, considering how much $$$ the guy makes why wouldn't he fix that.

Same old stuff after a loss from the same old posters. It's 1 game. Yeah they sucked but it's 1 game. No need to jump off ledges yet unless you feel like making the site more readable.

may this be Paddy Neufeld's last game in the CFL.  Ever.

As a non-Rider fan, I take offense to that.

Based on this logic, I would argue he's taken enough games off while injured that he should be good for 5 games... 2 against the BlackReds and 3 in the playoffs?

And the lol train is about to leave the station...
lolololololololololololololololololololol                  wooowooo

Willy finally got us to the playoffs.

I love that I can now root AGAINST Drew Willy ...

This isn't the first time Harris' trying to grind for an extra few yards has almost cost us the game, he did exactly the same thing near the end of the Labour Day Classic, he almost cost us the chance to kick the game-winning field goal by accidentally running out the clock...

Whenever I get a jersey stitched, I always make sure it's a retired Bomber that won at least one Grey Cup. It forces me to step back, take a minute and read up on a player that did something great for this team in years past. I also do this because that way I don't end up with the awkward situation with my first jersey from 2011 in which I had an Odell Willis jersey, who after their GC loss, the Bombers released and then he was picked up by the Riders...
 
Had it re-stitched as a Ken Ploen jersey.

we don't use one running back enough to justify putting a 2nd one on the roster. Sad but true. Our receivers are hurting and a bunch of smurfs and we still try and win with a heavy passing game. Should just let the big old boys on the OL tee off and run the crap out of the ball. 

Tait's daily roundup piece from yesterday suggested that McKay is essentially a FA signing for next year...

Pretty much, right now the Riders are 3-10 with 5 games remaining (best possible record is 8-10) and Edmonton is 6-7 with 5 games remaining (worst possible record would be 6-12). Riders could still cross-over if Edmonton managed to win only won 1 of their last 5 (finishing 7-11), assuming the Riders run the table and finish 8-10.
Even if the stars did align and the Riders do win out AND Edmonton loses out, that doesn't guarantee a cross-over since they also would need 2 of the 4 teams in the East to have a final record of worse than 7-11... highly unlikely, since Toronto (currently in 3rd) is 5-8...
 
The only reason I care is because it keeps the pipe dream alive of us getting to the Grey Cup through the West, whilst Saskatchewan would take the much weaker road through the East. The end result? Us steamrolling them in the Grey Cup in a season the Riders thought was all but lost.
It probably won't happen (apparently Riders playoff chances right now are at about 0.09%, assuming games are determined by a coin flip)... but a man can dream.

Yeah frederick has been great at every chance to play. If he and heath draw in thatll be great.
 Pretty much, i hope we get great turn out and show the fan support turn around to match the teams turn around. 
 The rider fans all over the net are championing this. They are sure they will win out cross over and crush the stamps in the GC lol. I want to see them with the third over all pick in the draft. So if they lose and win that bc game itd be prefect. 

I can't wait till the Stamps crap the bed at home in November against us in the Western Final.

Once upon a time we had a 3rd string RB who backed up Eric blount and troy mills. A guy named charles roberts. Every one in the cfl is a back up until they arent. And the last two weeks, flanders hasnt been a back up. 

so instead of a versatile star rb we just make him a 10 yard possession receiver? Seems like a complete and total waste of talent.
