My thoughts about tonight's game. - Eskies DLine dominates the BC OLine - Jennings was off, fumbled the ball, his long ball was off, and he held on to the ball too long but boy can he really throw it. -White and Johnson are two underrated running backs. Both complete their offenses so well. - Williams will be the next all star reciever in the league. But on that note have you noticed receivers getting away with pushing off the DB. Kind of un fair considering you barely breathe on a reciever and it gets called for pass interference - Nick Moore was the best reciever for BC tonight. -Quiet nights for Arceneaux and Bowman. - Rielly is my favourite non Bomber QB - Adam Kontar was all over the field. I really like his game. -Johnny Adams had a rough outing tonight. - Bad penalties from Edmonton late in the game. -Ty Long welcome to the CFL you'll have to be better next time. -Edmonton will be dangerous regardless this season because their offense is so good. -BC will be a good team but I'm not sure if they're a great team. Jenning still has room to grow as a QB.

Medias built up the Lions pretty big heading into the season and labeled them as one of the elite teams. They'll have to play better then they are right now to convince me they're even a better team then we are right now.

The whole point of command centre is to get the damn play right, scrap it if that's his attitude.

Watching the half time show and they're talking about the "controversial" plays of the command centre, and instead of Glenn Johnson admitting fault he says you better get used to it! Any close call that may take minutes to decide is "slowing down the pace of the game." Get out of here with that crap. Either scrap replay completely or take the time to get it right.

I would go with Elliot on a two year deal. I think he's a good goaltender and should come relatively cheap. I still have faith in Hellebuyck as a number one goaltender, and obviously another year or two of Comrie in the minors will be good for him. In the long term picture I don't think the Jets goaltender situation is as doom and gloom as most people think.

Looks like by all accounts the Jets did pretty well in the draft. Kristian Vesalainen was seen as a top ten draft pick at one point, and some experts predicted Samberg would have been a first rounder.

Edmonton's defense is suspect. I expect Reilly to keep them in most games but it's going to be a fight for them game in and game out.

15 catches on 19 targets is extremely effective! Always liked JFG hope he has a great season.

Absolutely. This is really concerning. Someone needs to be held accountable because it makes the league look bad.

Wow CFL 0/2 on two big plays in two games. This is absolute bush league.

I took the RedBlacks on playnow to win. They're at home, I think Trevor Harris is a good QB, obviously Calgary is a great football team but anything can happen in football and I'm going to give a little respect to the defending grey cup champs.

Actually i think it would have. Neither QB had great success but Durant had 2 TD's and no turn overs. Kevin Glenn with 1 TD and an INT. When the games so close this is the difference between winning 17-16 and losing 17-16

Isn't the review done through the command center? technically that wouldn't fall on the refs, reffing the game.

A lot of classy Rider fans telling Durant to go f*** himself on the rider board. Not a great way to treat a guy who won you a Grey Cup and layed it on the line night in and night out. The loss looks good on them.

To the first of many!

CFL officiating in mid season form.

Completely unrelated to any conversation we've been having on here but I'm so glad football is back. Even though the Bombers have the bye, I'm just excited to see some football, and for the first time in years and years I'm more than cautiously optimistic about our football team this year.

I say let the media build him the Riders. It's just going to be that much sweeter when they crash and burn.

I took Sutton on my TSN line up

I took Durant and Ernest Jackson on my draft kings team. I fully expect to see a focused Darian Durant put up big numbers against his former team.

People keep on saying we can't count on being plus 29 on the turn over ratio, I say fair enough, but this is a full year of continuity for the offense. One more year with a confident Matt Nichols, a good running game, a healthy Darvin Adams, and a full season out of Clarence Denmark, and of course a good OL that will allow time for good things to happen.

im demonstrating why I think we're closer to BC and Calgary then we are to teams like Saskachewan

Not only is our OLine good, we have the depth to sustain injury. Looking at the depth chart for the Riders today. They're one or two injuries away from disaster.

I think we're heading into the season in great shape. I can't remember a time when I was so confident in our 1) QB situation 2) NI talent 3) OL it's no secret the best teams year in and year out are the teams that prioritize these three things.
