The only game in  Pick'ems I wasn't sure about was this one

Ottawa might be the better team on paper but they've been sitting around for a while and they have no momentum. Regina keeps surprising me; their defence is better than I expected and their offensive line seems to be hanging together okay.

Further the Prider's have that Chris Jones audacity and chutzpah may give them an edge against an untested Ottawa. I think Regina will win but it won't be pretty. Carter on defence is going to be fun to watch just because there's a battle of egos going on.

I think Harris is a better quarterback but Collaros played a lot better than I would've guessed in last week's game. I think he can get the job done just because Jones is putting confidence in him .... I think Collaros is back but I can't say the same thing about Drew Willey

I'm looking forward to a good battle with both teams having a chance to win

We could have had Noel Thorpe... 

Mason looking like Sweetness in garbage time.

why is Harris still in? Redblacks should be giving Davis some snaps...

They just want to pound the Cheaters.

excellent game.

So on RF....someone is claiming it's hard for a vet dline to go against rookie OL...you read that right.

Rookie oline? 

I was very in favor and praying we got Thorpe.

Two take aways for me. 

1) the Saskatchewan Rough Riders are a bad team.

2) Northern Skunk is a Rider fan and troll.

That has to be a joke?   Usually a rookie o-line is eaten alive by a bunch of vets. 

Good interview by Spencer. 

How much do the Riders need to pay the RedBlacks for the return of Carter? When you own someone that bad, can simply offer a cash settlement for their return?

I watched the game highlights on tsn....  I like the dirty attempt by Carter on the Spencer TD of him trying to trip/take out the knees after Spencer is well in the end zone.  Dirty f'ning player.

yah, you really don't have to know a lot about the game, to recognize a well coached defence such as Ottawa has. Sask receivers could not get open.

ah well.

Lol......no friggin way. I enjoyed watching them get beat like that tonight.

Also would not classify Ottawa’s line as a rookie line.

Note to Rider fans give Hurl some pom poms and tell him to stay on the sidelines, he'll be more useful there...............your welcome.

Ottawa put this up on the scoreboard

No disrespect but who cares about Davis?

Using a few Carter words...”to tell you the truth...”, carter is tonight’s goat. 

Add the goat of the game award to other weekly awards!!

Thanks Osh. 

Nye is 0 for one this week. Hopefully by about 9:30 tomorrow he'll be o for 2.

Carter is such a piece of work. The loss looks good on him.

The good ole days when Rider fans were bragging about.....their QB depth.

Remember how the Rider twitter account was laughing at us after Durant retired & Nichols got hurt?   What kind of team does that ****? Evidently the no class Saskatchewan Roughriders. That entire organization is garbage.

Ottawa started 2? Rookies on oline.

But you have a former MOL and long time vet and vet C on it too.

The Riders are basically playing with 10 players and 2 bodies - Sam Hurl and Duron Carter. And yes, I did see the pick 6. I only give him credit for making a decent catch on a poorly thrown ball. Not as easy as last year's pick 6, but still, it wasn’t his defensive play that caused that turnover. 

Carter on D? OK, if you really want it Chris, but it doesn’t make you look smart..at all.
