Goalie

RIP to a man who put smiles on a ton of peoples faces, It's sad that he apparently couldn't make himself smile. Very unfortunate sad news. It seems that most of the worlds funniest people have some severe demons they have to deal with everyday. Nanoo Nanoo.

Winnipeg. Hamilton. Edmonton. Sask. Toronto.

Some will probably like it, most won't. Whatever, let's just hope we only see it once or twice and then it's burned... could always use some bomber cleaning rags around the house so maybe at the year end clearance sale, i'll pick a few up for 2 bucks.

Any team with Ricky Ray has a chance, always do no matter how "banged up" they are. Ray has and always will scare me, but that Toronto D certainly doesn't.

Unless the Jets trade Wheeler Little Ladd and Kane, there is no way they get a top 2 pick... Not a chance. I'd suspect we pick around 7-9 once again. I still feel with a league average goalie, this team can make the play-off. Tanking for McDavid just seems very very very unlikely, however with that being said, If we struggle badly and are in contention for a high pick (i personally like the 2 americans ,eichel and hanifin) but.. if we are in contention for a top 3 pick, I think the team might sell some players at the deadline to ensure they get it, i doubt they can be as bad as Buffalo or other teams like that though. Unless the NHL is gonna throw us a bone like they did to Pittsburgh with Crosby and give us the number 1 pick It's possible i suppose but how possible? probably 1 in 1 million, yes i'm saying theres a chance.

I watched the piece on Grigsby, was a little confusing but i guess it's pretty hard to argue against him being one of the best athletes in the CFL, they guy last year was playing baseball for the twins organization, this year he's playing football.. Can say what you want about the guy but... to be able to play 2 different sports like he has done tells you he is a damned good athlete. 4.34 40 time too, The guy is a damn good athlete, is he the best? That's hard to say actually.. but if that piece did anything, it showed that he is a damn good athlete... Not sure about the best but probably right up there with the best in the league.

nice throw by smith to carter, big gainer there.. another dumb penalty by the esks at the end there.

Als should probably cut Johnson ASAP, after his agents comments that he's trying to get back to the NFL.. I dunno, i'd move on, obviously he's not fully committed to the ALS.

Interception on a bad throw, the als should get 3 here.

Duck Dynasty is a bunch of scripted crap. Look at how those people really live. The beards the hair the accents are all done for effect and don't portray how these people really live. Sorry, I don't need some 3rd rate 'reality' show philosophy to tell me what's important in life. The clean-shaven family photo, courtesy of Life & Style, shows Willie, Alan, mom Kay, Jase and Jep Robertson pre-Duck Dynasty.. Yeah like 20 years ago it appears.

lol dumb play by Watkins there, had whyte stuffed there.

The ALs may be the worst team in the league right now... I don't see it changing any time soon either.

Problem is the TSN announcers though aren't the be all and end all and i sometimes get the feeling, the replay people are basing what they see on what the TSN guys are saying, the TSN guys have been wrong in the past, quite often, Not that i don't believe what Suitor said, i would just like to know what the rule is from an official with the league, not a guy who calls the games and seems to think he is the be all and end all when it comes to replay reviews.

Looking to far in advance here, starting to sound like some of our media asking o'shea questions about games down the road.. One week at a time Floyd, One week at a time. This Tuesday, It's Toronto. That's the game we all should be talking about, not a game 3 4 weeks away still.

had a pretty good view of it from home on the replays and if that's the case, they got the call wrong then.. Willys foot was on the line, don't think it crossed until he released the ball though.

Agreed. Based on what I've seen allowed in other games that completed pass should have been allowed. Play was reviewed and linesman's call was confirmed. Can't complain that he did his job. What's the rule actually, does anybody actually know the rule? Cuz if it's you can't have your legs over the line of scrimmage, then the play should have stood, If it's you can't release the ball from your hands over the line of scrimmage then they got it right. The other thing is.. not making excuses but floyd and gbill are correct in saying that play has been allowed several times in the past, even this year for that matter. Gotta actually know what the real definition of that rule is.. If legs can't be over the line, it should have stood, if the ball can't be, then they got it right probably.. however, it then becomes a silly rule cuz when you throw the ball, your hand will always be past your legs unless you are some freak or leaning forward quite a bit, almost in a criss angel walking down the side of a building way...

“Our fans are absolutely going to love these innovative looks,” said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. “We respect tradition and our teams are very proud of our current home and away uniforms. But the CFL Signature Uniforms are intended to be bold and eye catching and push the envelope. And Reebok has worked hard with our franchises to deliver something really exciting.” Our non hardcore fans will buy these jerseys like they are going out of business said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. We respect the hardcore fans and their love for our tradition and are very proud to have them BUT.. these new jerseys will be ugly as sin.

Bang on. Nobody has any idea what the other options were on the play, and Marcel doesn't tell Willy where to throw the ball. He reads pre snap, he reads the defence after the snap, goes through his progressions and makes a decision. Unfortunately it was the wrong decision. End of story. And aren't mistakes expected by a rookie starting qb? Willy will learn from his mistake and probably not do it again. He made a mistake, it is what it is.

I'm surprised we didn't get more 13 men in the huddle penalties cuz from reading some of these posts on here, you'd think some of you were actually in the huddle. Blaming that pick 6 on a bad play call by the OC? i don't really get that, unless you were in the huddle, you don't know what the play call was, I highly doubt it was throw a 40 yard pass across the field, I'd be willing to bet just about anything that the OC didn't tell Willy to make that throw, That throw was on Willy.. Don't really get blaming the OC for a ball that the QB threw... never have, never will. Willy decided to make that pass, we were winning at the time, he could have thrown it away or just ate it and we would have punted and still been up by 1.. O'shea has said it many times already, unless you are in the huddle and you weren't, none of us on here were in the huddle, stop pretending some of you were.. we really have no clue what the actual play call was.

I actually don't think the Jersey is as bad as some are making it out to be, the helmet sure is nasty though and the pants don't really help but the Jersey isn't too bad overall, I like the green colour there. Eliminate the tramp stamp on the back and the Jersey by itself looks fine to me. Looks similar to the new eagles jerseys or rumoured new eagles jerseys minus the shoulder stuff but whatever really, don't own a riders jersey, don't plan on getting one any time soon. Have 3 bomber jerseys, Only really wear one, if i was to buy the new one, like the other 2 i have that i don't wear, it would just sit in the closet.

I wouldn't say that this team has a delicate psyche. They've come from behind a number of times this season and it looks like MOS has instilled an expectation to win. I have no idea why they're sticking with Grigsby at RB, but I doubt it's to protect his feelings. The coaching staff seems to be in love with him for better or worse. Maybe he's the type of guy who dominates practice and turns off in games. see the post above yours. Instead of blaming just grigsby, look at the Oline also. Dude was constantly being stuffed in the back field, what can the rb do, any running back for that matter do when he always has 2 or 3 if not more guys in his face the second he gets the ball.

Yeah, it was hard to stomach, almost as hard as watching the riders only score points off our turnovers pretty much.. This is the thing with Messam, if we didn't turn the ball over so much, Messam wouldn't have mattered really.. It comes down to our turnovers. Messam didn't win the game for the riders, The Riders D won the game for the riders. And for all that Messam did, we still had the lead late in the game until an ill advised pretty telegraphed wide side throw by our QB.. Messam could have ran for 200 yards, wouldn't have really mattered if not for that pick 6.

Trade (insert backup player here) for (insert young canadian here)

I'd agree with the first one but the rest are pretty unrealistic and some what laughable.. sit one of your best db's who you notice quite a bit on D, and not cuz he's being beat but because he's always the guy making plays out there? washington lead us in tackles last night, he didn't get beat at all really on defence, he was make tackles that other guys were whiffing on. I don't get sitting Washington the DB, i get not letting him return kicks but punishing our Defence because washington, who is a beast out there on D fumbled a kick return is pretty crazy. Swiston for Westerman? Suber for Tim Brown? Why stop there, why not brohm for ricky ray.

It's quite apparent that the Oline is not good enough and if the coaches felt jarvis jones was he answer to solve all our oline problems, he would be playing. The fact he isn't i'd say speaks volumes, Did jones look good last season? sure i guess, compared to boatman he did but... he's not playing for a reason. One guy wouldn't make much of a difference on the OLINE right now.. It's more than one guy, some people just like to single out certain players but reality is, it's the entire oline, not just one or 2 guys.
