I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who doesn't know Matthews and he's not even talking about this so clearly it's a total nothing burger. Cripes the amount of gossip around here, you'd think it's the knitting circle at the old folks home.

3/3 beating the Lions and Argos, a combined 1-12 record, and if they hadn't had a game against each other it might well be 0-13. Yeah the Riders have a hell of a lot to prove before anyone fears them.

I think Streveler is a better passer than you are giving him credit for, however he is still very raw and I don't think he's ready to be a starter yet.

Yeah we all wanted khari to call the plays back in 02.

Praise jeebus!

Essentially a run play, but you know what else is a run play? Handing the ball off and taking that one other element that can fail out of the equation. Hand off to Harris up the gut and maybe we aren't in a situation where it's 2nd and 10 throwing.

I would cause to not come out and pound the ball against a poor run defense, given that doing just that is this team's strength is just outright stupidity. Especially when the other team loses their starting qb!

So here is where professional athletes are different than Joe blow athlete... they do this for a living, part of that pay cheque comes from the ability to overcome adversity and overcome poor play. It doesn't happen every time, but that is what they get paid to do.

Yes but the fumbles on returns cost them 6 points right? Momentum killers is what they were. I ain't absolving Nichols cause you are right, those ints were massive problems too, however it wasn't all him.

2 examples hardly defines a guy. Especially when last Friday also had some fumbles unrelated to Nichols compounding the issue.

I very strongly disagree with this point.

But you support Trump and the Republicans whose whole plan is cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations and suppress worker wages and rights so they can get even richer... I think you may need to reassess your identity politics, cause you appear to be talking out of both sides of your mouth here.

Well that and Walker basically playing his way off the roster.

He hasn't had to do it much the past few seasons... What this comes down to is the people who don't believe in Nichols. They are always looking for some standard he must meet for them to be happy, which is always just out of reach, or if he does it, well it's only once, do it again. There are athletes out there that I view the same way, but Nichols is fine for what he is. He's a game manager and he does enough to win more games than he loses. You can absolutely win with a guy like that. If all that mattered was having a top teir qb who can win games all on their own then BC wouldn't be so pathetic as they are.

and trickle down economics and corporate welfare don't help anyone either. It's not hollering racism, it's calling racists racist. No one thinks the system doesn't work because racism, they just think that racists need to be called racists.

Just because you disagree with the plans doesn't mean they don't have them and that they don't work... Didn't all the stats show illegal immigration was becoming less and less of a problem? Except of course for the feeling of the right wing... See that's the problem right now, "conservatives" don't use facts or logic, only their feelings, and it just happens that a lot of their feelings are that people of different colour having equality is bad.

Lapo : "They're going to expect us to run the ball at them, if we don't run and pass instead they'll never know what hit em! God I'm so smart and clever"

Oh please, "progressives" aren't as simple minded as to only be able to focus on one thing. Fact is that Donald Trump has a long history of saying and doing racist things... so it is 100% fair to say the POTUS is a racist. It's actually quite indefensible.

He won't touch that mess with a 10 foot pole. But christ all is well for the Riders after beating teams with a combined 1-12 record.. which is likely 0-13 if they hadn't played each other.

yes

"we have a quarterback" would be more appropriate. Worst team in the league and that's saying something this year.

Not even August and BC is done. Pathetic for all the money they threw around in FA

You know that when a guy goes down without contact that it's probably not going to be a fun injury. I don't buy the crap about Masoli being one of the star quarterbacks in the league but cripes the QB play is bad enough as is without starters getting hurt. Montreal for 1st in the east now? Ain't that some **** eh?
