Dirty Sanchez talking about BC is about as objective as Milt talking about the Bombers, or Suitor about the Riders.

Neufeld hasn't been very good the past 2 games. I wonder if he is nicked up.

Jeffcoat gets into the backfield fast and forces the QB to stay in the pocket or escape up the middle and that allows our other DL to eat. Simply put there is no LT in the league capable of standing him up at the LOS.

When all your receivers are ham and eggers the drop off to a ham and egger back up is barely noticeable. But hey, yardage between the 20's where most receivers can ALWAYS get soft coverages if you throw enough times is the yard stick they wanna use over in Rider land. Sorry, red zone receiver production, 2nd down conversions, YPC, and having a high % completion to target has always been my gold standards. Having 10 targets for 70 yards is not great receiver or QB play and that is the RIder offence in a nutshell. Spray balls around for a crap load of passing attempts, most in the 5-7 yard range and rack up completions and yardage by default then crow about how great your QB and receivers are in a game your team scored 11 points. SMH.

If I have a backup that's even thinking it I would cut him loose. I want a backup that wants to be the starter and gets a little POed when he sees the depth chart every week. Anything that is less green is always better, but at the end of the day it is a Rider jersey and that alone makes anything they wear god awful ugly.

Considering how narrow each of their victories was against struggling teams I would not be impressed if I were a Rider fan. They aren't a very good club. Just a really fortunate schedule with the exception of playing us. They get an imploding Elks twice, a decimated by injury and out of synch Stamps team in the first month.

It was the only 3 play sequence he threw well all game. Guess he was practicing those all week.

Tate once told a TSN reporter that he loved being the backup QB because he gets a game cheque and doesn't have to play and then followed that up with he really prefers not having to go into the game.

Speak for yourself....lmao...I'm in Thompson for most of the summer so our summers are short and every day of heat is a good one. In 3 weeks fall begins up here....lmao..

Harris was working it because they had keyed in on their secondary playing that area very softly.....until they didn't because Harris went to the well too many times in a row.

It's a fall thing for me. Usually Bailey's pumpkin spice Irish cream in my coffee on a nice crisp fall Saturday morning. My doctor is not a fan because of my diabetes, but a man's gotta live.

The only thing I enjoy watching as much as the Bombers playing good football is the Riders playing bad football. I thoroughly enjoyed last night's game...even though Edmonton gave them a hold by beer we are more useless win.

Mmmm....pumpkin spice....I'll wait for October because I love having pumpkin spice anything on a nice cool fall morning watching the fog lift off the lake.

I agree. I wasn't there, but family members of mine were and they thoroughly enjoyed it.

Gotta be honest. Not many indigenous "celebrate" Canada day. Not that we don't respect the country, or love it, just that it isn't a day that was particularly great for our people. It's a day to reflect, and to remember what was lost, and what needs to be accomplished for the future of our children and grand-children. Canada Day, for us, brings hope for reconciliation and rejuvenation in the spirit of cooperation and peace. That being said, I completely agree that a Canada Day celebration in Winnipeg most definitely NEEDS to include indigenous culture and practices as a sign of reconciliation and to show respect to the original stewards of this nation.

and a heck of a crack back block too....lol

Certainly Biggie isn't the only guy doing it, and even if he was, if it is allowed in the rulebook than go for it. However, it does create dangerous situations and I'm glad the league has decided to come down on it in any scenario. As long as the rule is applied evenly across all teams I am always in favor of player safety rules.

For sure. You get a 5 man unit with lots of time together and they will probably be better than the sum of their parts. When you have all good parts, you then get a great OL. I can see, for that reason, Dobson and Eli getting some reps in there as the season goes on to start building that bond and give our regulars a little rest. It's a nice little luxury we have.

Exactly right. Until China, Russia, and the US decide to get serious about it, we are screwed no matter what. Not sure what we as Canadian pee-ons can do about that.

Most Canadians are being asked to make sacrifices to lifestyle in a country that is very near its carbon neutrality goal in comparison to most of the world. Look, I will not dispute that climate change is a massive world issue that very badly needs drastic changes amongst the global population but let's not lay the blame on this at the feet of Canadians and put it where it belongs. If our planet is going to change our country's role in this isn't to eliminate our emissions, although it would help, our role has to be to take our place as a leading nation on this planet and get China, Russia, USA, India, Indonesia etc to cut their carbon emissions. It is pointless for Canadians to bang their head against the wall for 1.5% of the world's emissions that have a large % reabsorbed by our vast forests and waters. It is bass ackwards for our main focus to be on stopping our own emissions, our main focus HAS to be on stopping others emissions with carbon emissions reductions being a secondary target. We, as Canadians, could make the decision to go completely carbon neutral tomorrow along with the financial and societal repercussion that would come with that kind of rapid disruption to our economy and lives and the global warming crisis would not be slowed one iota.

If someone calls him the little ball of hate I will puke. It is a pretty dirty play and I'm glad they got rid of it. You do it until you can't though, and then figure something else out. Damn family holiday Shakespeare play re-enactments....always scheduled the same time as football.

Aging players that will be tough to replace: Yoshi, Biggie, Willie, Miller Aging players with in house replacements ready to go: Neuf, Stan, Jeffcoat Everybody else....equal replacements easily found in FA. I did not mention ZC because he is easily 3-4 years out from showing his age, same could be said about Willie really as he is a freak but you never know so I included him. So really, we have 4 guys that are aging out but all still playing at a high level that will require some fine work by Walters, everything else is pretty much taken care of or is easily taken care of. As long as Walters/MOS recognize the right time to move on from players when the time comes this team requires no rebuild and can easily sustain a high level of success for many years to come.

Bad games happen to even the best occasionally. Stan is the least of my worries when it comes to players showing their age though. I honestly think that the BC Lions DEs just gave him looks and stunts that he was simply not prepared for, and I chalk it up to Stan having a bad film week.

He is a career backup getting a chance to be a starter because our league is in a bit of a QB crisis right now. He shows just enough every 3rd or 4th game to give a fan base hope and is average to below average the other 3/4 of his games. That's not my opinion, that's historical and present day fact. Maybe, he has a team around him this year that can help him hide his warts a little more but he is realistically in the same ilk as a Matt Nichols, Kevin Glenn etc. He is not a guy I would be scared of over the course of a season. The spin move worked for 4 games in 2019, it can work again.

Might be they didn't feel he was a fit for some other reason besides play.
