I can never, ever cheer for the Riders but a win vs Calgary gets us that much closer to first

Bridge's penchant for high hurdling is not conducive to a long career

I know BC is going to try hard to prevent it, but God I'd love to see the Riders not make the playoffs while having more points than the East leader...

Honest to Christ, I just had a riders jabronie tell me no more than 5 minutes ago they have a better record than the east first place team.

High probability of that happening actually

There's people on the rider board proclaiming they're one of the two best teams in the league up there with Calgary. Delusional bunch they are..

What an idiot. Blame everyone else when things dont go your way. You lose, its because of the officiating. You went 3 quarters without a catch. Look in the mirror and then your locker room. The guy is like a 9 year old child.

I blocked Duron Carter ages ago on Twitter.. The guy is seriously the biggest crybaby in the league..someone respond back and tell him he had 1 catch for 4 yards today. 

Let's be honest, this is us after the Riders lose. I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Rider fans should be happy when I proclaim they are the best sub- .500 team in the CFL 

Fixed that for you.

And going forward, just to be clear, I will always be pulling for the team that doesn't fake injuries.  Every time.

 

So this question does not need to be asked again in the following weeks.

 

Screw them.

6-6 is that not .500 or is my math that poor

Some of those Riderfans are as annoying as those stupid YouTube vids that have the robotic voiceovers that sound like its being narrated by a r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d microwave ...

Riders had what.. maybe 125 yards after 3 quarters with Glenn?   The score really flattered them big time.  

I agree with 17to85... Wes Cates???  The guy barely had a 5 yard average... it would be the same if we put Fred Reid in our hall of fame?   Except Fred Reid actually dominated for a few seasons unlike Cates.

This Calgary team is beatable if you get any sort of pressure on BLM.  He isn't playing hurt... he's playing sloppy/scared.   Several times he had easily an extra second or two in the pocket... yet he panicked and tossed the ball way to early. 

It's unfortunate that against us and our so very soft zone defense he will still eat us alive.

Was going to tweet something along those lines but apparently he's blocked me 

Statement game.

Lots of empty seats says concessions must have been busy?

Riders got completely dominated in that game. Credit to them for buckling down in the red zone, but that game was never as close as it looked.

Also,  if the refs missed that contacting the kicker against the Bombers I would have been furious.  That back ref has one job! One job!

If the Riders are not 6 and 7, I apologize.

Edit: Checked the standings and you are correct. They still suck, though.

Over 1000 yards just twice in a six year career. 

Nice contrast with Durant , a genuine franchise changer, whom the organization allowed Jones to defecate all over.  A lot of the fanbase continue to do it daily.

They're receivers are average now with Daniels, Jordan & Durant out. They can't get open. McDaniels is showing his age. But that Stamps defense is lights out.

You and I both know that things can change, sometimes in an instant. I remember a Winnipeg defense that was lights out with a linebacker named Mickey Doyle. One injury changed everything. It can happen again.

I was there when it happened- it was an ugly break and as soon as it happened, the whole crowd knew he was done.

We were up 27-7 and went on to lose that playoff game and the upset was complete. Not wishing anything bad on the Stumps but stuff does happen.
