If that D could stop shooting themselves in the foot with penalties, they’d be pretty damn good.

It really is crazy what lengths the Rider fan base will go to in order to justify their team’s performance. Nothing matters until they realize that they’re being headed by an average level QB playing behind a terrible OL and the team isn’t anywhere near disciplined enough. Those are the issues. That’s it. They’ve got solid players at a lot of spots - Duke, Leonard, Robertson, Marino, Sankey, Moncrief, etc etc but Fajardo isn’t a winner and the team around him isn’t going to make up for it by playing hard-nosed and disciplined ball. It’s a bunch of me me me out there and they’re never going to win a ring like that.

Watched on TV tonight because of my work schedule and here’s what I would say: Thompson looks like he’s settling in at safety, starting to read the plays as they develop a little better and getting his confidence up Houston looked better than Rose and made a big play to set up that Willie TD. Then again he was also fortunate to see a couple drops from Dunbar. Then again (again) they threw Dunbar the ball roughly 37 times so I can understand one or two lost battles Rutledge is one of our best players on D, even as a veteran of three entire games Mack is going to get vilified for a few penalties but that call against him was borderline and he’s quickly becoming a solid member of our DL rotation Gray looked much better today, Dobson looked pretty rough in a few spots too. Kolankowski solid, I thought Good to see Bailey and Demski get involved - Bailey such a leader out there, happy to see him get his touches as well. Very well rounded group of receivers Liegghio confidence meter: 73% (up from 61%)

I’m starting to think Fajardo lives rent free in the minds of some of you guys lol that’s an absolutely nothing quote. If Collaros said that, we’d be happy to praise him for it

Glen Suitor as a media guy? Hall of fame? WHAT

Love the shot of Kenny Lawler crying on the sidelines again

Lol we legit seem to have found a new receiver who could pace out for 1000 yards, a new rush end who can take snaps with Willie/Jeffcoat, a new SAM who makes us forget about Maston and we’re worried about being undefeated? we definitely do have some problem areas … Dobson can take over for Gray immediately if you ask me, Thompson looks like the second coming of Ian Logan out there and our running game looks rough at best but we’re literally rolling out 8 Canadians, starting a bunch of rookies who look competent and winning games just breathe everyone

You guys are all so mad because you expect a “dominant” Grey Cup squad that shows up in November to appear in June we just won a back-to-back against a much improved team and we didn’t play a single snap with our QB/OL in the off-season. We’re not gonna go 16-2 but we just proved we know how to win the games we don’t deserve to win quit crying 😋

Thank you kindly

Is there a way to see what our choices were after the poll closes 😂

You guys drink when you watch football???

Copier

I’m going to go Jamal Morrow then throw up

I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing him play Nick Taylor’s spot and moving Taylor to safety

Prukop the hurt one. Interesting.

Oh huge, I’m just bugging ya. How was your day at Kilterpalooza? I think I saw you while I was behind the bar

Imagine being 40+ years old and concerned what a 20-something forum member says about a beach you used to visit 10 years ago….?? Jesus. (just kidding 😛)

If anything it’s a solid indication we don’t need to be playing a Canadian at safety. Not really sure why we went that route to be honest, it feels like we have plenty of options to see an American at safety considering Thompson was our eighth Canadian starter.

I picked Sindani so I’m pretty happy about that … but I also picked Begelton lol

Bo Levi looks pretty good as long as you don’t need him to actually throw the football

Just so everyone knows I abused my admin powers and opened the poll quick to put my picks in before kickoff on this game

You along with everyone else. The roster rules in the CFL are so needlessly confusing, especially when it changes every time you finally get used to them. I thought that was two years ago lol

There is no scratch Couldn’t we dress 45 last year? It was 46 on the roster with one reserve, wasn’t it?
