Well, while we still got 4 days to go till we kick our game off, we save the best for last.  Meantime, Thursday night should be a good one to kickoff the 2019 season.

The subplots: The TiCats for obvious reasons are the favorites to win the east, and with the return of Steinhauer, the high hopes they got on Masoli and what looks to be a rock solid roster, there's many reasons the optimism is high.

For the Riders, the questions will be whether or not Craig Dickenson will prove to be their O'Shea, and whether or not they can protect Collaros.  A lot of changes have come to the roster with several former BC Lions including Arceneaux and Elimimian now there as well as former Colts WR Moncrief.

All that to say, while Steinhauer built his reputation on running an aggressive defense for Kent Austin, I seen some experts on the CFL site expressing concerns about June Jones no longer being there to be the guider for Masoli.  So will the TiCats offense get a high level of play under a defensive HC?

And the Riders will be a very different team than what we saw under Chris Jones, a guy who could win but had a toxic attitude at times and brought in cancers like Duron Carter.  Question is will this change be for the better or the worse for them?  Can't wait to see what this year of change is going to be.

Man I wish we had signed adeleke 

How many qb's did the Riders dress they might need them

CFL on TSN on Twitter: ".@sskroughriders QB Zach Collaros leaves the game after a "roughing the passer" head shot from Simoni Lawrence. #CFLGameDay https://t.co/j4VXfP8Siv" 

 

If the league had any balls they would give the guy a 6 game suspension....   

Riderfans.com seems to be overloaded and won't load... I'm guessing lots of angry folks in Riderville. 

They have the right to be pissed 

I already forgot the play. Was it a breakdown on the line that Collaros had to run or was it a called run play by Collaros. I only ask because with his history of concussions he shouldn't be getting called to run very often. 

Yeah as much as I hate the Riders that play has no place in the league. We'd be livid if someone did that to Nichols. 

Fajardo is terrible.

“Masoli has frequently found himself in first and long today”

I’m still pissed after that bullshi*rt  targeted hit job.

Nobody deserves being disrespected like that.

Right, now that they’ve played Hamilton and Lawrence already..

Get a pant stripe, Hamilton.

You look like you're wearing yoga pants.

They rebuild this stadium and keep the benches on the same side.

So Bush league

Lost in that first quarter story is that Masoli looks horrible

He most certainly does.

They have no running game either 

Powell running the ball well for the Greenies.

Hamilton just needs to be disciplined and I do believe they got this.

Fajardo has passed for one yard

Yeah I’d call that continuity...

TSN hyped him up way too much last year. It's not hard to get 5000 yards passing when you play Toronto and Montreal 7+ times a year
