The Rider D allowed the Bombers 193 yds. rushing in the LDC, that does not sound very good to me, if it happened once it can happen again.

Well, you get us on a short week in your stadium. Maybe it will happen again. I hope you lose again too.  I predicted before the banjo bowl that the next time we played you Nichols wouldn't be playing.  I'll stand by that

Oops, I thought you were referring to the LDC.

I do give the Riders credit for some of their play, especially on defence and special teams, but man it’s hard to give them credit for their winning record when you see other teams like Toronto and Winnipeg, literally give them their victories..

We are 4-0 against the two teams you mentioned.  Sounds lucky to me

Yeah, but Montreal is 1-0 against you... 

We can agree to disagree fellas. Both teams have problems, however, one team is atleast showing up and winning. I hope Nichols sorts his problems out. I still think he can be a great QB.

Could and easily should be 0 and 4 tho. Cmon man... Take the melon off.. Its giving you melonoma. 

Riders might be winning but its mainly because the other team is shooting themselves in the foot.

Aren't wins wins?

Yeah a win is a win. But a gifted win is certainly different then one that was earned.

To many people who look at the standings and the 6 teams that get into the CFL playoffs I don't think they care?

Yeah, the bolded part is all that matters. How a team gets a win is pretty much immaterial.

I mean, were any of us complaining about seven years ago?

They sure are. They beat us fair and square, no crying here. I imagine things will unfold a bit different this week with a starting qb in there

Coulda woulda shoulda doesn't matter.  You either win or you lose.  Were you complaining when Crapigna rang the ball off the upright last year in OT against you guys and you won? Or let me guess, that was different.

Collaros' absence isn't why the Alouettes won the first meeting.

I think we set a professional football record for the most qb switches in that game.  It mattered

3rd rounder is a pretty decent return for Sutton

Its a second rounder and BC gets Montreals 3rd. Seems like a move to make a move I dont really see this as a significant up grade over Johnson.

Ah then that's just a normal deal for Sutton...  Montreal moves up 4-5 spots

Agreed lateral move.

Your statement is true, but doesn't address what I am talking about. What many people think and whether or not they care doesn't change the fact that there are gifted and there are earned wins.

Seems like more of a depth move as Johnson has battled injuries and they don't have a proper runningback when he goes down.

There is no smoke and mirrors. We have a very good defense and our special teams are also very good. Which part of either of those seems like a illusion to you?  Our offense has been poor and has been along for the ride

Think with Magic is its not real and eventually the trick gets figured out.

When did I say that? Anyway, as you were.  

Remember when people called the 2011 bombers the worst 7 win team ever? (When they were 7-1 or whatever they were) Well the Riders are the worst 8 win team I have ever seen.
