Durant may be out this week.

I don't find anything too telling in Turner's comments. Since the offseason of 2011 it was pretty evident our locker room had cancerous factions. Terence Edwards confirmed this when he retired. What is most revealing about Turner's comments is that it confirms that the brass identified the cancer and successfully removed it....although a quick look at our record was all the proof I needed. I always felt that their were bigger issues than just our talent level.

I wonder if Popp throws a bunch of cash at Calvillo and begs him to come out of retirement. After he dismisses Higgins and takes over as HC with Matthews playing Doug Berry's role of course.

Exactly, unlike our neighbors to the West, we actually require our players not to act like clowns away from the field. I have no problem with the Hefney release...never did. The Riders are now finding out what happens to clowns when their heads swell, just as we did after 2011.

Poblah was benched for Marco I believe. Rory Kohlert seems to be a tad under utilized thus far, it'd be nice if we could get him involved in the offense a little more. True - but he did have one of the key blocks on the Denmark TD. Kohlert was big blocking on a number of plays last night .. that first screen to Moore was a perfect example of him doing the work asked of him .. these receivers have no problem with getting their nose dirty It's great when the receivers block downfield but they gotta produce yardage too.

QFT. Toronto is a hot mess right now on defence.

Then why is Taman having so much trouble replacing Sheets .... who has Montreal come up with ... what has Ottawa done? Why did Buono bring back the Logan retread ... not so easy, really, is it in actual practice? , Taman is having trouble replacing Sheets because...well because he is Taman. He is not the type of GM that is adept at uncovering talent quickly. Montreal? Didn't realize they were looking with Whitaker still there. Ottawa chose Chevon Walker in the expansion draft and he is playing excellent ball for them. I fail to see any of the points you are trying to make. The fact of the matter is that the RB position is a revolving door and most teams have very little problem finding new ones.

Calling Logan a retread is pretty outlandish. The guy was an amazing running back before he left for the NFL. He is anything but a retread. Wally would have had to be an idiot not to sign him.

Two awful teams going toe to toe. Lefevour get eaten alive by the better defences in this league. On a side note did anyone notice JJ getting scorched tonight. He was about 15 yards out of position. Then later he gets an interception and tells the world. "I'm back!!" You sure are JJ...you sure are.

"fair haired" Beautiful blond locks...lol

Idiotic article. Complete fantasy. Thank god we won tonight or there would be thousands of fairweather fans clamoring around the water cooler Monday giving credence to this notion.

Apparently you have to wait till after the 5th game missed before you can practise. i.e. 2 weeks before the game you are eligible. Practicing and playing at a high level are two different things. His arm strength is suspect right now and that's the bottom line.

There is no reasonable argument that I can think of as to why we would be behind Saskatchewan. Explain.

I would like to see Stoudermire on the field somewhere as well because I have heard he looks like a baller. I am not willing to sit a good player to find out though. Stoudermire will inevitably get his opportunity and I am willing to wait to see him.

Because I think Dunn is a bad player who looks better because Randle is on his side of the field. Essentially, I don't think he should even be on the team... You are entitled to your opinion, however, I think that you will not find too many people who agree with it. I think this is more an opinion based in personal bias than in actual reality. No offense intended towards you, we all have players we have an irrational disdain for.

Unfortunately for us, Burke made Lapo look like a riverboat gambler.

I would suspect that the TOP stats are the reason for that. Have the ball more you have more chances to go 2 and out. TOP isn't the number of possessions though. Generally there isn't a difference in the number of possessions teams have unless there are onside kicks or turnovers on special teams. Everyone has the same number of chances to go 2 and out in most games. Teams do not necessarily have the same number of possessions without turnover. The difference will not be higher than two however.

It's not that uncommon for the winning teams to start getting more two and outs as they protect the lead with the running game.

Gott and Deane are only two guys. It takes 5 to make an OL. I expect a lot of growing pains.

Now I know why their new stadium will be in the shape of a giant toilet.

We are already a third of the way to our win total of last season. After that abomination of a season this game was chicken soup for the soul. I don't expect every game to go like that and think this team may have a lot more similarities to the 2010 club by the end of the season, but this week's game has already provided me with more quality entertainment and excitement than the entire 2013 season.

Anywhere would have under 20K with this kind of weather. But Saskatchewan isn't just anywhere...it's the home of the self proclaimed best fans in the league. You gotta back up that kinda claim with more than a watermelon on your head.

Ottawa is a brand new team that has no returning cast. They will make mistakes and a lot of them. We need to capitalize on them and we should be victorious. This game shouldn't be close.

It's true. That's why the attendance was low. They sold over 30K still. I agree about Rotten Roddy though. Can't stand him. Very feeble attendance for a home opener. Normally I wouldn't care but Riderfans went to great lengths to insult us about 25k. Fairweather fans I guess. Team just wins a Grey Cup and only 19k to greet them at the home opener. Sad.
