The QB carousel swinging around full force will be the story of the rest of the Als' season.
That, and the death vigil for Reed and Sherman.

Spit. Leggett seems to have gotten a lot more brittle of late. If he cannot go, that is a significant setback for the defence.

At this point does anyone understand what the hell Jones is doing? Even if a 44 year old Terrell Owens could play a little bit he can’t play well enough to be worth the distraction he will cause. Why even waste time on this?
Because Chris Jones got himself an all-expenses paid trip to an NFL Hall of Fame induction back to the Excited States where he belongs, plus some free publicity and the Riders got bilked out of a few thousand dollars. And Canada's average IQ went up for a couple of days.

Yeh But the way Streveler looked when he played he could start for a few of the other teams right now.
At least four, by my count.

BC getting their asses kicked and celebrating every sort of play they make. Look like a loser franchise.
The Lions and Als are in pretty much the same situation. The players on both teams have to know that they are boned for at least this year and are not going to make the playoffs or even compete in most games. You can talk all you want about pride and professionalism, but looking ahead to three more months of getting your butt kicked and having little to no confidence in the management and/or coaching to fix things has to make coming to work real difficult. You can celebrate small victories, but those ships are sinking.

Theories abound on J. Manziel’s failed CFL debut. One thing that is irrefutable—The Cdn game is very different, 12th man, field size, motion etc., and J. Football simply hasn’t progressed far enough down the steep learning curve to draw any finite conclusions on his upside.
these comments about Johnny football makes Streveler's debut in the CFL even more exciting right (?)...
The issue that many big-name athletes who have excelled at the amateur level have is that they assume that they know it all and thus are reluctant to accept coaching, and that has to be true for Manziel moving "down" to the CFL from the NFL. That would explain why he was criticized in Hamilton for being late to and missing team meetings, but bodes poorly for his future here unless he undertakes a major attitude adjustment.

What we are seeing in Montreal is a nauseating replay of the Gliberguys regime during those dark days in Ottawa. Incompetent owners hiring incompetent people on a whim or by personal like and that is filtering down all the way to the field. There is no easy or quick fix for this and the well has been poisoned for any GM or coach who comes next.

For all the questions about Manziel and his personal conduct, considering the steaming pile of mess in Montreal, he did show some raw talent. He can scramble and has a pretty good arm but the question whether he can adapt to the CFL and thrive is still unresolved. No question the season is lost to the Larks, so they have to decide how to manage their quarterbacks' game time to their best advantage. And BTW, Willy is a dead man walking.

my biggest question about last week's game ... why did that Argo dude bring his giant framed panther poster to the sideline?
Isn't it glaringly obvious to all?

If Edmonton is happy with their weak, childish coach, good for them. But I'd be embarrassed if it was a Bomber coach doing that.
And we Bomber fans know what childish coaches and GMs look like, don't we?

No one could have predicted that Carter would pout when he wasn't getting special attention.
Ironically, over at Riderfans, there is anger and outrage at Jones but little bile directed at Carter.

Duron is so good for that team..
From that article..
Duron Carter, meanwhile, tweeted he was sick and tired of being sick and tired and has so much more to give. Then to the media, said he and Naaman Roosevelt watched most of the game as the footballs were being thrown elsewhere.
Getting open consistently would probably help his cause considerably, but he may be wearing out his welcome in Gopherville.

I would say it's going to be an exciting game .... But I'm afraid the CFL used up exciting games for the week last night in Toronto.
One thing the Als might have going for them is if Masoli keeps on being a red zone choker. I have never seen a QB waste all those passing yards as bad as he does.
Considering how close the two previous games this week have been, we ought not assume a lop-sided win for Hamilton, although I wouldn't be shocked if it was.

Vernon Adams may have saved his job ... temporarily. He won't be there next year though, and it might not be long until they bring back Tanner Marsh.

Question about the Rider roster mishap. Does Moncrief come off the 6 game IR because he was on the game day roster? In which case they would have to 6 game him again, restarting the 6 week clock. I don't know how long he's been on the IR but just curious how that works with such a stupid mistake.
This sort of thing is not new for the Riders, and is a good indicator that Jones is just not a good head coach or GM.

I wonder if the location of the stadium makes a dent for the amount of people going?
Maybe, but the upgrades over the old stadium (which had a lot of memories in it for me) more than offsets the nostalgia.

I'm certainly no Hurl apologist... but appears they are used in completely different ways,,, Hurl was given an "assignment" that seemed to attempt to hide or mask his presence... where as Bighill seems to be given free range to do what he feels is best (for the most part)... the difference is Bighill can do it and is great at it... Hurl.... well.... not so much...
Fixed that for you.

Much as I detest him, I would think Tillman would be the best choice, but he is not available. I respect Higgins and I think he and Popp butted heads when Higgins fired an assistant coach for showing up to meetings drunk and drinking, and the players were still grieving Trestman so were not open to doing things Higgins' way.
