Return of the mack
-
Harris was the heartbeat of this team for years. The intensity and tenacity he brings to the football field is immeasurable. The fact that he is a local boy, made it all the more special. One of our own. He knew the suffering this franchise had endured and made it his mission to bring pride back to this organization.
Congrats Andrew and thank you!

It’ll be a long day at this rate. I’ll be at labour day like always but hooo man.
If Riders get healthy, it'll be tight games. Winning in Regina isn't easy.

Christ almighty. I could’ve won that game for the Riders. Hand the damn ball off, protect it. Don’t telegraph your pass. Fajardo makes any pass look so difficult. Done with him. Completely done.
Or at least until after the bye lol

Honestly the guy gets up limping after every single hit, but magically seems fine once the play starts lol

Rider fans think they can take us and Calgary lol yet they can’t take care of Montreal in back to back weeks
Hopefully they get the cross over and we get to beat them again at home. This time in the GC Lol.

Watson was given the heave-ho for something he said to someone on the Als. staff...apparently....Not a performance issue BUT would he pass the sniff test here
Yeah the team would have to see if he could be a fit or not. That being said, any guy we bring in will probably be out of work for one reason or another.

Yeah I figured he would probably do that first. Probably wouldn't cost to much to get a guy now though in case one of the in house guys isn't getting it done. Or maybe we look at nfl cuts if we are still struggling.

Would the bombers look at bringing in Tre Watson? He's looked pretty good and was just released by Montreal.

How are we going to stop Rourke from running? We haven't been good against the run and we're traditionally not great against mobile QBs, like Masoli.
Yeah that's tough. Gotta get Willie and Jeffcoat to contain him so it makes it harder to get around the edge. He's going to make plays, but maybe a mistake or two with pressure.

Losing Wilson is huge. To many things working against us this week. I think we take our first L, but I would be very happy to win ugly this week.

Think of that old chestnut, All plans seem great until you get punched in the nose. Then plans change.
Problem is if we can't move the ball on offense our defense will tire out and good offenses will capitalize. BC is much better then Toronto and won't make that many mistakes.

I can see this. But I don't necessarily it would improve the game at all. What about games where a rouge would tie and send it into OT? I wouldn't be upset if they made the changes Nye is suggesting. I just don't think it's necessary.
Fair enough. I mean it's something they could try for a year and if I doesn't work out , we simply go back to the way it was.
Yeah I see what you mean. There are endless scenarios here...hah

Doing anything with the rouge doesnt improve the game. It's just change, for change sake. Which is almost always a bad idea.
I tend to look at it differently. Here's Nye's article, which I tend to agree with.

It's a fundamental part of Canadian Football. It's not a minor rule change.
What I don't get are CFL or Canadian Football fans who want to rip something like the XFL to shreds but then also want to bastardize the sport into that shitty game. The XFL has done everything they can to remove special teams and predictably the product is mediocre. Special teams is a huge part of the sport. The American game is moving further and further away from that fundamental piece and suffering for it. Why would we want to entertain doing the same?
I don't think kicking it through the endzone on a FG should result in 1 point because it doesn't allow the other team to advance it out, therefore no point should be awarded for simple kicking it out... If you think that's fundamental to our game , then we'll simply have to disagree.
No one wants to change what makes the CFL great and no one is saying just get rid of the rouge altogether and be like the NFL or XFL or anything else. Every league is constantly looking at changes to make things safer, more entertaining, etc. This is no different.
I agree with you about the NFL and it's direction which is why I also love the CFL, but that doesn't mean I think we should never change anything either. We can change things without becoming the NFL or some other shitty league.
-
Many here saying it rewards a good drive and not a failure is understandable but with athletes getting better and better, what's considered 'close enough' to kick for the rouge will keep being further and further back. Others say , ' it doesn't happen that often so who cares' which is true but there are many things that might not happen in a game that are still dealt with in the rulebook. To simple ignore it and let it be, means you are opening yourself up to future issues.
What I don't like is being called less of a fan of the CFL if I'm in support of a somewhat minor rule change. I understand the roots of the game and appreciate them, but that doesn't mean they can't ever be changed or one day be outgrown. We don't have to totally get rid of the Rouge, but its also okay to look at it and have the discussion.

So I don’t mind it if it’s caught in the end zone and returnable then it gives the option of return or give up the point. But a straight miss that goes through I find silly. That’s a direct miss, doesn’t give an option for a return.
Exactly!
I see people's points and they make sense, but I've always enjoyed the NFL better without the single point. I think it rewards skill to have it just 3 for a FG and 6 for a TD. Either your kicker makes it and you get 3 or he misses and the other team takes over at the spot of the FG try. Either way though I'll always love the CFL better then the NFL overall. It's just the one thing I don't like about the game. The NFL has its own issues...

Funny how they are squawking..and not sure how they think they should be favorites seeing as they lost more talent than got in free agency
They are an older team
Sure they resigned some of their guys..but they are aging guys on downside..and guys who couldn't get it done last yr....
They are squawking because they feel like they have the best QB since Tom Brady in Fajardo now. Lol.
I try and stay reasonable over there, but it's hard to read so much nonsense and delusion without responding. Especially since they usually combat facts from entering their safe space by banning whoever dares disagree that the riders are the best team ever to grace a football field. It really just turns into a rider circle jerk and if dare disrupt that you get cast aside! Lol...its actually fascinating in a sick kinda way....
That being said, there are some quality posters over there, just hard to hear them through all the nonsense sometimes.

Just what i thought. You are guys are hoping for a young guy with not much experience to come in and hold down the fort. The riders will do the same if/when labatte gets injured.
Yes, Franklin's 'experience' as a shitty QB will be sorely missed here! Haha.
Love how rider fans talk about our QB situation and don't see how there's isn't much more certain. Fajardo is just as likely to regress to the mean as he is to have another good year and Franklin couldn't win the QB job in Toronto. But the Riders are forever a dynasty in their own minds I guess lol...

Irving is a professional....in fact, the consummate professional. Unarguably the very best at what he does...
Not disagreeing with that at all...he's a legend for a reason..
But I do find him a little stale at times to be honest. Obviously my comment was a little tongue in cheek though lol

I liked hearing Irving on 680 this morning. Said it like it is. West will be tough. Calgary is always a tough team. Said Sask has a good team. BC will be better and Edmonton is in the mix. Bombers have a good chance to repeat but its not going to be easy!
Cant argue with that.
I love Irving, he's a legend..
That said I do find it annoying how neutral he is on everything.
I'd like him to come out one time and say ' the riders will blow this year' or something like that. Lol.
