Why are all these refs leaving mid season? I thought working together to develop chemistry with all the official's teams was important. Why wouldn't they retire after the season was over?

I'm just glad for the guy in the shorts living in Winnipeg & trying to function in winter. I'm happy for him.

I just get nervous before games, In the old days before TSN broadcast all CFL games on tv as good as Bob Irving was, I hated the radio broadcasts & seeing the game in my head as Bob described the action. Lots of times I had to turn the game off only to worry even more about the score when I turned it back on a few minutes later. It's like I'd live & die all at once. Since I can watch all games now & actually see the action unfold in real time, my stress level has dropped substantially.

This sounds like you propose anarchy. CFL fans unite. You have nothing to lose but your games.

It's called superstition. Fans do the same routine as the athletes when their teams win hoping it will keep them winning. Like the guy who wore shorts all year round from 1990 to 2019 during our Grey Cup drought. We've all done that at one time or another.

Great post!!

Mayala was the worst receiver in the CFL. His passport kept him on the Al's roster far too long.

Back in the late 70's, if I had a laptop when I was in university, I'd have blown through a 5000 word essay in a few hours instead of 2 days. Being able to edit, spellcheck, able to move sentences & paragraphs around would have made it so easy. I didn't have a typewriter so every essay I did was meticulously handwritten which took hours. So glad that I was a sich agood spellr. I don't like some of the slow starts we;ve had. I'd like to see us play at Mosaic Stadium & dominate from start to finish.

Yep, Now Ford will be trying to save the same dumbass head coach who never believed in him.

Some of you here can insult them all you want but some great players & teams have come from there nonetheless. High school football teams from Southern Alberta including teams from Lethbridge & Raymond areas routinely kick the **** out of teams from Calgary on a regular basis. Blake Nill, Nate Coehorn & the Ralph brothers also come from around there. As did Stamps CFHOF OL Lloyd Fairbanks, I believe. He grew up in Cardston which is 55 km away.

I don't give a **** about Nathan Rourke. He couldn't wait to get out of the CFL to go to the NFL. He gave the impression that he was just too good for our league despite all the love he got from fans across Canada.. If he would have shown some gratitude for the support he got then I might see things differently. My feeling about him is & always shall be...

Now the problem is how do we fit him into the salary cap when his contract is up? Is this his final year of his rookie deal?

OL get beat. Just like DB's get beat. The other teams make plays as well.

I hated the musical.

One thing I've learned over the years is that as a fan you never should take your opponent for granted. When fans start talking guaranteed wins or they have no woriies that's when a snake under a rock bites them in the ass & we lose. Especially in Regina on Labour Day.

Sounds just as bad as it did half a century ago. I used to frantically change stations whenever that damned song came on.

I think 2013 under Tim Burke was the worst.

I do believe you're right. Folks here were hoping Stubler would come here as the new DC under O'Shea . Instead we got Etcheverry.

The RedBlacks have holes in their secondary. Receivers as a group are average. The OL is weak. They can open holes for the run game but they aren't good at pass blocking. Dustin Crum plays in a very conservative, don't take any chances passing attack. His biggest weapon are his legs & for some reason he doesn't run anymore. Right now, the biggest problem is a lack of coaching. The players need help but aren't getting it. They are right where they deserve to be. Last place & sinking.

Other way around. Jones & McAdoo reportedly felt that Ford was the worst of the three. Reporters who watched practice felt Doege was their best qb. Ford second & Cornelius third.

In the first decade & a half of the New Millenium they beat us 10 straight years. A damned decade worth of LD games. So, how can anyone be so confident that we'll just waltz into Mosaic Stadium & win?? That's a foolish assumption no matter what the two teams records are.

Who is taking first team reps this week for the Riders? Fine or Dolegala?

There's talk about the league tinkering with the coaches cap so it isn't punitive anymore affecting changing up or firing staffs. If that happens there'll be more than one team that'll be looking for new people as managers & coaches. Ottawa will be one of them.

Winning is the only thing in pro football. No one felt sorry for LaPo when he lost Massoli last season. He knew he was done as soon as Marino took his star qb down. Fans in Ottawa have put up with some bad, bad football the past few years & patience is at a premium. The RedBlacks as an organization can't be okay with the status quo staying the same. I think he'll be replaced at season's end. They never should have lost to the Elks. More than a few.

This loss may have sealed Bob Dyce's fate. The RedBlacks looked just awful. The entire team just looks to be regressing. Dustin Crum's star has just crumbled. For some reason, it looks like KJ has told him not to run but to stand in the pocket or throw on the run behind the LOS instead of taking off with the ball. Which is a big part of his game like Tre Ford does. Crum will never beat a CFL team with his arm. The Ottawa secondary isn't good at all.
