NO it was sold out..ask Ripper he can confirm it...saw it with his own two eyes

well when talking about this regime..and what has gone on in last 3-4 years then yes this is very relevant..and kudos I guess to the organizations that have had consistency at the QB position..mark's of good teams and organizations...lets throw in Brock..Ploen..Moon too then eh..

so based on extensive stats..Mr Game Manager Nichols who sucks (according to Ripper and his band of butttards) basically ranks as one of the top dogs..hu...whoda thunk...I guess there is some correlation to his nipping at .700 win percentage....but alas...It's all on Harris and Lucky

twice!

So the empty seats in upper deck after kickoff..among other sections amounted to only about 1000 people...find that hard to believe but drink it up...

yeah pretty baseless statement to say a team won because of a couple outstanding plays from players...on their team...like really??

no...no...no..NO.....The riders are super awesome and Fajardo is the second coming and made the Argo's appear that way...give your head a shake already my man!!

they can announce whatever they want...but when you see huge swaths on tv in upper deck totally empty then that tells me nope..no sell out...same with other sections...but I guess all those people in those sections decided as a group to not come for some inexplicable reason eh Rip's? and not to beat a dead horse to death...with noting else to spend $$ on at a professional event there should be no reason at all to not sell out every game...

if you believe it's not true you are delusional...don't let a couple games against weak sisters sway you too much lol

Oh I know hahaha...I just like to throw out rebuttals to the fantasies he and other Riderfans spew to garner another well thought out response based on ..well basically nothing

So how many 300+ yard games is Mr Career Back-up gonna get this year smarty pants...and how many wins?..do tell as you seem to have all the answers..i seem to recall he threw for big yards against Ottawa..and what happened there?...oh crap you lost...but I sure you have an excuse for that...I have one as well...it's cause your defense isn't what you all think it is...if another career back-up (Davis) can eviscerate your "vaunted " defense for 44 points..350+ yards passing and 94 yards rushing then that doesn't say elite defense to me. wanna make a bet that Ottawa doesn't hang a 40 spot on us...I doubt they hang a 30 spot on us and 25 would be pushing it...but when they don't you will probably have an excuse for that too...same with our 30+ points we get on offence...it will be a result of us relying on receiver A with a huge game ..Or cause Harris ran roughshod over them...or we took a punt back or a pick 6...always an excuse yet every Rider win is a result of outright awesomeness

and really??...who friggin cares...you need to let go of the "stats" aspect and let it sink in through your water mellon noodle that football is the ultimate team game and 9 times out of 10 wins are predicated on all facets working...is it our fault we have had dominant 0-line play the last 3 years and our run game was superior to all and we used it to pound out wins as opposed to wing and a prayer passing? Why would we go away from a ball control offence...wearing teams down...controlling the clock all the while the last several seasons leading the league in scoring to basically fatten our passing stats and taking more risks with the ball..and any football person worth a salt will tell you that less risk happens with a strong pounding ground game and when the frost is on the pumkin...your run game wins the tough games for you. Sadly you will see when your old running back (just like ours) is worn down from the beats he is getting running behind your craptacular o-line with zero depth

who cares how many yards we lay on him...thats silly and pointless....if we lay on 3 td's passing and 1 or 2 on the ground, and win handily..whats the difference and point?...and really..Fajardo?....enjoy the couple blips of greatness now as it won't last...career back-ups/plugs are that for a reason It's funny how the majority of rider "fans" hated that signing and were not too happy with it, but since he pulled a Troy Kopp /Joey Elliott and now he is top teir awsome I'll take Nichols career high 30's wins and smart QB play for ow well before a career 1 win guy who for all intents and purposes has proven jack shat...lets see 2-3 years of that..heck even this full season before you anoint him a legit number 1

gonna roll with A.Harris

I liked casher too...victim of havin opo here at the time

no they don't...why even say things like that?

If BC can establish a run game...which they finally seem to be doing, then they will start to win..i truly see BC and Sask battling for 4th, even with average QB play I don't see Sask defense carrying them to wins this year...highly overated based on previous reputation with C. Jones pulling the strings..Lost to ham who had an off game...got lit up by Dom Davis....the Argo game doesn't count for anything cause they are gawd awful...lets see what they do against Cgy and back to back vs BC then the Hammer again...I bet they are looking up at a 1-6 record after that

Edm..CGY..and WPG right now are all better teams...roster wise and are/will be getting better...BC and Sask will be fighting it out for 4th and 5th and never bet against Reilly over the course of 18 games...they showed improvement already and in my opinion tose 2 teams will go as far as their QB takes them, and smart money is on Reilly over Fajardo/Collaros...

Hey after the rain delay t was a 7-7 tie after the Argo's decided to put forth a bit of effort and fight...and no...it wasn't that the Riders took foot off the gas so don't even go there....and all the talk about a record breaking pace in reference to Dunnigans's game was funny as well... This was basically a game between 2 of the leagues 3 weak sisters, and the less pathetic of one of them beat up the most pathetic one..Sask got a gift start to the season with 3 eastern games, and are at 1-2...and now have a nice mouthfull of CGY/BC/BC and Ham coming up...if they are any better than 2-5 after that i'd be utterly shocked...B.C is getting their crap together so won't be a cake walk for them

well can't wait to hear their narrative when things go back to normal for him and he is not moving offence...scoring points and making errors...maybe they will say "obviously Fajardo took advantage of the leagues weaker sister's and now he is showing why he has never taken the next step as a bonafide starter"..but I bet that never gets discussed...Suitor will just wipe the spooge from his face and blabber on about something else in defense

Fajardo will come to earth in short time..his deep ball is horrendous and teams will adjust when the film is out now that his ball hags there and 9 times out of 10 the receiver has to either stop his route, or come back to it..he will be an interception machine in short order, You get a few games of film worth on a guy who finally gets to start and you see his tendencies..weaknesss'..strengths..up till now teams had nadda on him...he's a career back-up for a reason...and it will be apparent when they roll in here on Bnajo Bowl most likely sitting at 2-7 at best

man i sure hate listening to Suitor yammer on endlessly about stuff and goo all over the Riders....the way he was yapping about Fajardo was pathetically sad and yet funny...throwing around all these analogies and attributes he has that are elite....basic QB skills that a QB should have regardless, yet he is blabbering on to the point where he seems like he wants to say he is the best in the league , and MOP worthy...he put up some numbers against 2 shitacular defenses, whoopty do...lets see what he can sustain, and a horrible deep ball...most are hanging up there and the receiver has to come back or stop to get it...catching DB's off guard right now, but now we have seen it over a couple games teams are going to key on this and welcome to pick city...just you wait and see...they will play receivers a bit more loosely to get these lame ducks Also some of his comments in defense of players who mess up, after he blows skittles up their ass to try and make it seem like it was a scheme thing is laughable as well....I'd rather listen to Rod Black and is out right ignorance to a lot of things football than listen to Suitor who talks like he is a wise old sage and a CFL "Expert" when in reality he is just a idiot ...especially during a Rider game...he shouldn't be allowed to do their games as it makes the experience un-enjoyable at best

There is a reason Fajardo has been a career back up till now..he's not that good and a good game against Ott and so far tonight against whatever it is the argos are is hardly validation..just wait till teams settle in and he plays edm..wpg..cgy(next week) Hamilton.. heck even Ottawa again..you will see his play get back to what it's been..

How is a game a sellout when seats still for sale pre game..by thousands and good majority of upper deck sections were empty? T.o is bad..real bad but on flip side will give a false sense of feeling good to Riders. Who really are not that good either..and for a winless no depth team..they sure act like fools when they make a play..and lot of times just your run of mill play to boot.

We were lucky to win because of lucky?? Last I checked he was a team member on the Bombers..no? And if he disnt score the second td on the 41 yard play..who says that means we weren't gonna score? The first td was a perfect deep shot. Second was out fast and on target..is it Nichols fault Lucky took it to the house and negated any additional completions and yards he may have gotten to fatten his stats? The TD to Harris too..perfectly executed play and toss..again..I guess that doesnt count either I guess...this argument is getting real dumb considering the winning percentage of team behind Nichols.. and sure not all wins on a QBs stat line should be totally a result of him..and same can be said about losses...and right now if out QB is giving us a chance to win while not playing reckless and doing things to constantly result in losses..then what's the argument?? Shuddop already
