Question about Rod Pederson vs other media
He went 0-4 on his picks last week. That goes to show how football knowledge this guy has. He's around to pump the Saskatchewan Rough Riders tires with very little substance.

Back From Bye: Week 10 vs Montreal
I think he was just reiterating what BBlink was saying. Fogg has been great. Good natural instincts on the ball. I wouldn't punish him for a few dropped INT. I'd give him praise for being in the right place, and the opportunity to make those plays.

Is It Real?
Not to nitpick but 7-11 and you could tell in 2014 we over achieved at 5-1. Nearly every game went down to the wire and we got a few lucky bounces. This season feels different. Our defense is good, our special teams are dominant, and our offense although not spectacular has been good. We've had three straight games where we dictated the temple most of the game, that simply wasn't the case in 2014. I don't think we're favorites to win a grey cup or anything, but we're certainly on our way to being a good football club. I haven't seen football this good since 2011, let's enjoy the ride we have three winnable football games coming up and this will put us into the conversation whether or not we're contenders or not. But I'm a little more hopeful then I was three weeks ago!

A place of honor ...
There's several rider fans who are convinced that Saskatchewan is going to win their next three games in a row against, Hamilton, Edmonton, and Winnipeg. I've never seen a more delusional fan base. 1-6 but Chris Jones and company can do no wrong!

What ever happened to Offensive, Defensive, ST, and Canadian player of the week? Now it's just top three regardless of position?

general trade thread to spit ball ideas
I hate to break it to you, but Staal really isn't that good. His cap hit is terrible. Fleury is a nice prospect but still a prospect non the less. We don't need another centre, and we need a LHD that can play now, especially if we get rid of Myers because i don't think we have a defenseman on our roster that could play the number 4 spot right now.

general trade thread to spit ball ideas
I'm sorry but this simply isn't true. Fleury is a nice prospect, but completely un proven. Myers is a great number 3 guy on a decent contract. I would only move him for another polished and proven defender. There's also 7 years left on Staal's deal, I dont want a 40 point centre making 6 million for the next seven years, and losing Petan and Lowry seems pointless.

general trade thread to spit ball ideas
This is absolutely ridiculous. Staal's cap hit is 6 milion so no thanks. Id rather keep Little as our second line centre. He'll produce more with a cheaper cost. Fleury is a nice prospect but I wouldn't part with him for Myers straight up, never mind moving Petan and Lowry. Stafford could play up and down the second and third line for now. He doesn't really fit on our team but he's easily moveable at the trade deadline for a draft pick.

That's why I don't mind gambling on Mulumba. There was no sure fire CFL star coming to us at second overall.- Mulumba-Bilukidi watch
Meh the whole 2013 draft was under whelming. Andy Mulumba is still the most talented player from that draft and IF he ever makes it up north it will be well worth the wait. Not holding my breath though.- OK, it IS Willy ...

http://www.tsn.ca/reports-popp-makes-inappropriate-comments-to-als-players-1.543569 Who are the leaders on this Al's team? You have Popp going crazy, and you have your best player wont keep his mouth shut. Second most dysfunctional team in the league besides you know who- Around The League Regular Season Discussion
This would be a good opportunity to make an example of the Riders. Bending the rules sure, but full out abusing it is unacceptable. Hoping the CFL has some balls, a slap on the wrist wouldn't be a lesson learned.- Around The League Regular Season Discussion
2016 Saskatchewan Rough Riders are reminding me a lot of the 2009 Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Arrogant head coach, constant revolving door in players, and a new controversy every week. At least Mike Kelly's 09 squad won 7 games. I don't see the Riders winning that many- Pavelec
I think this is Connor Hellebuyck's break out season. as a 22 year old rookie he posted a 9.18 save percentage in 26 games with the Jets. Hopefully he's ready this year to take the reigns. If Pavelec is our starting goalie this season we're in big trouble.- Troy Stoudermire

With the poor Quarterback play we've had over the past two decades I thought we as fans would understand how important the QB position is and how having stability at the position is important to compete in this league. Nichols has been a nice surprise. I like Nichols. Can he stay healthy for 18 games? Can he keep up his play? The jury is still out. I also don't think Willy is done in this league, how ever he may not be that franchise quarterback we envisioned. I wouldn't make any decisions on Willy until the off season. Too many unknown's going forward, quite frankly it would be foolish to let Willy go at this point and time. - Mulumba-Bilukidi watch
