Maybe Jones wanted to convert him to punt returner and he refused?

Yup but that is what a championship team is,the bar gets raised by  opponents and the fan's. MOS wouldn't want it any other way.😊

This place is going to be ridiculous when we lose a game or two (which is going to happen in an 18 game season). I guess its a good sign though of how far we've come in the last 5 years when fans are complaining that our wins weren't quite dominant enough for them to be satisfied.

I'll admit that I was a bit nervous about the defense after the first game but I shouldn't have doubted. They look great! Rutledge has been a fantastic find and I agree that Thompson seems to be improving every game. 
In general the way that the D gets stronger as the game goes and just wears the other team out is a thing of beauty. By the second half they become absolutely lights out.

Mike Jones is a fantastic DB and I wish we had found a way to keep him. I loved the way he brought the hammer down on receivers catching the ball on short passes in front of him and he always seemed to be in position to contest the longer stuff.
Doug Brown was very critical of the call on the postgame.

And to think....we gonna get BA back....Rose back to 100 percent and Hansen in game shape in no time....and that Lawson stepped up...well actually got substantial reps and was very effective....I'm not concerned in the least....and gotta say...Wilson is prob the best sideline to sideline in the league...if he doesn't miss a game due to injury and plays at this level it will be a crime if he not an all-star...best in league by far and I'd say our best defender this year so far...dude can cover ground like a db...incredible closing instincs and speed and can lay the wood...and best part acts like a pro...does his job and gets ready for next play..no goofy after play antics ...and was impressed with O'Leary Orange too ...made his first catch ever...a clutch one at that and just placed ball down and acted like a pro and someone who has made a play before.... culture here is infectious and why we win when u play average games

This game has been so much fun to watch!

You and I will be in the minority but I agree. Other than BC in their one game, no team has looked dominant. Instead we are getting close exciting games that feel like contests and come down to the wire, The only knock I’ll make is towards the terrible state of kicking across the league and that one abortion of a game yesterday with the Riders showing the maturity of 2 year olds. That was just embarrassing.

I’ll be wearing Royal Blue to the game. This “whiteout” idea is stupid.

Putting both sides of the argument aside I think we can all agree that if nothing else penalties should be consistently called one way or another.

Not to pile on but even last year when Rose became available I wasn't sure Jones should have come out of the lineup. That D was all time great so I questioned the need to change anything even for an all star like him. I felt even then that Rose became our weakest link in the secondary from that point onward (though it never got as bad as last night). Still cheering for the guy 100% and hope he regains his 2019 form for us.

From what I read it was mostly that he propped up Edmonton as having more to do. To me that isn’t necessarily a put down of Winnipeg and more that he was embracing his new team’s city in the media. Unless there was more than that I think it was just Manitobans being sensitive.

It looked like week 1 football. Ugly stuff but we weren’t any better. I hate the Riders but have to admit their D looked good. I’m still not sold on Fajardo though.

A beat down against a Chris Jones coached team is always welcomed

I also thought Rutledge looked pretty good on the other side of the field.
