It was obvious that Montreal was going to stick with "Le Faj" , well obvious for 99% of the people on here. I still believe that Edmonton will stick with Ford and that Hamilton will move forward without BLM but retain Powell/Shiltz. Dickenson won't admit he made a mistake with Maier and will continue with him. Ottawa is the only place that Brown can get starter money and a starting job. Also who knows if Strev comes back next season to the CFL? I'm surprised he didn't land back with the NY Jets after they dumped Boyle.

I don't think anyone suggests that the Eagles are not good. They probably are a step down from the elite teams in the league. It's been 4 - 5 weeks in a row where the D has been really bad and they can't use the injury bug as an excuse. They looked really good in the 1st quarter against the Niners getting a tonne of pressure on Purdy. But after that it was what 6 drives in a row that San Fran ran the field and scored a TD. That's bad.

The tech in GTA 6 is insane, I can't wait until they have gameplay footage to see if the city will have that many people walking around and the overall detail of everything.

Really? For the last month the chatter was mostly about how they squeaked by and had lucky bounces and how that D was giving up far to much yards and points. Their was a reason why the 49ers on the road were the favoured (odds) to win.

Watching Willie last season... he was generating a tonne of pressure without getting the sacks. He's still really good.

Harris is the right QB to have in Riderville now, they need a veteran who can get the ball out quickly. What they really need to fix quickly is that o-line, any QB is going to get killed playing behind them.

What does Richie Hall have to do with how we played on O? Are you suggesting that Montreal were so lights out on D that Zach gets a pass on his performance? Faj was sub-par in the East Final... but he also won how many games in a row and how did he play in the Grey Cup final? Once again why would Montreal cut the guy who helped them win the cup and completely picked apart the best team in the league? They won't. It's also normal to admit that Fajardo was a superstar on the only game that mattered and that you can't blame Richie Hall or Adam Bighill or Special Marine Jackson for the reason why he played well and why we lost. Fajardo was really good down the stretch of the season and won the big game and he deserves to start for them next season. I don't think he's a great franchise QB and wouldn't want him at all but at least I'm not a "riderfans" kind of fan who looks foolish making excuses rather then praising the guy for what he did and moving on.

The casual fans assumed Philly were the class of the league. Most experts thought the record flattered the Eagles and that realistically they are around 5 - 8 in the power rankings.

Remember when people crapped on guys like MBT because they piled yards and fancy stats during non important games and garbage time. Why doesn't that same logic apply to our team? People are calling for Zach to be cut despite him having fantastic stats during the regular season. It's more important how you play when it matters.

Assuming we can't have Brown / Strev. I'd take Shiltz because unlike Evans he at least has some upside and seems to be able to move the ball despite playing on crappy teams. He's also mobile. Who knows maybe if Arbuckle played behind a great o-line and had all star receivers maybe he would thrive here and it would be cheap? Maybe just bring Piggy back and let him work his magic?

MVP - 21/26 290 yards with 3tds and game winning drive. Those are amazing numbers against the "supposed" best team in the league. He did destroy us and I'm not afraid to admit it.

8 game winning streak and winning the cup isn't the kind of numbers where any team would cut a QB.

Hate Fajardo all that you want but he's coming off destroying the Blue Bombers and winning the cup. Why would they cut him?

If we can't bring back Brown then as a veteran back up I'd take him in a second.

Lol one more goal and he and Blake Wheeler will have the same amount of goals this season

A club like Hamilton could offer a low base salary and a whole lot of performance bonuses to boost it up high. AFAIK several people scoffed at me on here because I said Montreal wouldn't sign Brown and would stick with Fajardo. Do you guys still feel the same way now? I'll go with what I've said before, Ottawa and maaaaaybe Calgary would be the only clubs signing him. I don't think Dickenson has the balls to admit he was wrong and will trot Maier out another season.

Does the club keep an archive? They might be able to put them in touch with someone who does. I'm sure someone in the alumni lounge could at least share stories or may have pictures or other things. I also would check with the Winnipeg Free Press they may have some old articles?

Not at all , I'd wager over half the players mess around on their wives. I'd assume they had cut him for something far more serious then sleeping with someones mom.

Lol do you really think that most athletes are loyal and faithful to their spouses? Serious question?

I'd wager the Riders keep Harris for next season, isn't he still under contract?

Random thought... Brown leaves town and we cut Zach and sign Nathan Rourke?

Hockey players screw around on their wives and with married women all of the time. I guess they didn't want the media distraction but IMO it's not grounds for a proper termination. I'd assume the union would get involved. It would of been smarter for them to trade him away.

That was a massive reaction, it was the right call.

I dont get why it's a big deal if Perry slept with Bedard's mom? Hockey players screw around with plenty of puck bunnies on the road so who cares if he did a buddies Mom?
