Don't go using facts on rider fans. They don't like those things.

It would also help if Nichols could hit him in stride. He hasn't had one easy catch yet. I totally get the whole if you can touch it you can catch it. But he's not dropping uncontested easy catches.

my favorite is the Rod pederson article where he goes off about the obvious Roosevelt flop at the end of the 3rd qtr. "Suitor isn't the head of officiating, who cares what he says" addressing the fact that suitor didn't think it was PI....Please apply that to yourself there Rod. At least Suitor has played the ******* game.

Whats the one thing those two teams have in common? Jones....he got a warning last year. Didn't feel like he needed to change things I guess. Why should he get another warning just cause he's on another team? He's the leader, he obviously knows the rule (cause he was warned last year). He wants to push the boundaries those are the consequences. Plain and simple. It has less to do with esk/riders as it does Jones being the db he is.

This sums it up perfectly. What a tool. "Be Classy!" pats him on the belly....I love that DD is like - WTF just happened?

What Ripper is getting at, is every team does what BLM is accusing the riders of. So if you want them investigated, it would need to extend to every team.

wonder if it's as a QB or not

so he'll be catching footballs and nothing more.... for real though, good luck to him!

getting to the centre of the galaxy. There's a map you can follow, or you can do it yourself.

yup, watching them make plays for Nichols, might be the best thing that has happened to Willys Career in WPG.

Rogers would have been amazing. But didn't he get the biggest signing bonus of any CFLer to the NFL? I thought I read that somewhere. What I'm saying is, even if he got cut by the 49ers, I think his CFL days are behind him.

Any one else pick this game up? Seems to come exactly as advertised. Played it a bit last night and looking forward to more tonight!!

If that's true, we should be pretty solid. Big test with Lemon out there.

He'll be the starting QB by next week if everything goes right on friday!!!

considering his Tweeter moments I wouldn't be surprised to see him released before the end of the year. Especially if he isn't starting...though maybe he learned a few things.

hubbard just tweeted a picture of Mosiac. Looks like the riders have picked him. Would be a solid addition to that line.

yeah I'm not sure what we would spend the money on. Getting some guys to sign on for another year or two? Hello Chungh? but again I'm assuming he wants to resign. Either way I'm not sure there'd be a use. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

I think most will agree that the biggest issue with Willy is confidence, whether that's his own confidence or the teams confidence in him. Either way, despite what's been suggested, that is something that can be turned around.

I know this might blow your mind a bit. But guess what. I'm a fan of Nichols AND Willy. I know, I know it's hard to fathom how a person can like two players on the team they cheer for. But let me tell you it's certainly possible. I could honestly care less who leads this team, as long as that person is playing well enough for the team to win. I could careless about a superstar, or a high paid player playing up to there potential, or a career backup proving he's got what it takes to be a starter. I want one thing. WINS. end of story. So please stop with the "Willy fans want to prove Nichols fans" blah blah blah. I'm a blue bomber fan, if they're wearing the right colours I'm a fan. I'll tell you what, if you can name 3 teams that haven't had to use a back up qb due to Injury and injury alone in the last 2 years. I'll change my mind. end of story. ready? GO...... Ok I already know you can't, Because every team has used a back up due to injury. Last year alone 8 out of 9 teams have. And yes Willy needed to be benched this year. It's not an impossibility that his time on the bench will actually help him. It's also no an impossibility that he's started his last game in the CFL. But how can anyone say we should go with inexperience at the most important position on the field at this point of the season? How can you honestly say we would be better off or even better with Davis/Bennett. You can't, we don't have enough of a sample size. Hell we could be better off, that's totally possible. But now is not that time to take a risk on that. Next year, sure. almost mid way through the season when you're fighting for a playoff spot is the absolute wrong time to start taking chances.

I agree with that. But the possibility of losing a QB is just too great to discard one that has the experience/skill set Willy does. I know, he's playing like ****. But that doesn't mean he can't turn it around. Watching the team from the bench improve week to week could help with his confidence. I'd really like to free up the $400,000 to improve other areas...but I don't like taking risks with the QB situation. Especially cause we're pretty much guaranteed to see an injury there some time during the season. Next year, obviously something will need to be done. But for the time being, we need experience behind centre.

cause you know, starting QB's never get hurt in the CFL. and Nichols has finished every season he's played healthy....

This is true, but there's knowing you're a part of the best, and then there's "wanting" to be acknowledge as part of the best. The wanting part is what takes ego over the top and comes across as whinny. Burris is a good QB and he's always come off as someone who wants to tell everyone that.

yeah that game for what ever reason has been a difficult one. I'm hopeful this year will be different.

If I was any coach especially in the West. Under normal circumstance (assuming no emergencies gaps needing to be filled due to injury etc etc) I would be in no hurry to trade anything or anyone to Sask. No matter what they offer. Even a 1st rounder (i mean within reason, if they want Castillo for their 1st it'd be stupid to say no). Even if it would make your team better. Let them sink to the bottom and stay there. One less team to worry about come playoff time.
