Sig uniforms for Ottawa and a guaranteed win in BC let's see how this plays out.

Good on Joe West for playing through that. I know I wouldn't be able to.

 

As an aside....Anybody still upset about not giving Henry Burris the money? No? Didn't think so.

I am loving this B.C Guarantee!!!1 10-0, 2 possessions in! Can only hope they keep it up.

The fans were never the issue in Ottawa, not sure why anyone thinks that. They have had the worst ownership groups in the CFL in the past. The attendance has always been good. I can't blame them for booing, their team hasn't scored an offensive touchdown at home this year besides the trick play one and i believe that might be considered a special teams touchdown. And demarco is hurt on a tough play there, guy got tackled in to him, He done for a while now. 

 

2005 Ottawa Renegades Attendance

• Capacity: 29,862
• High: 20,833
• Avg: 18,489 (9 out of 9 games)
• Variance over 2004 Avg: -4,559.0
• Low: 16,303
• Sellouts: 0
• % of Capacity: 61.92%
• Variance from League Avg: -9,959

 

Closest the Renegades got to league average attendance was within 2000.  Fan support is an issue in Ottawa, although their stadium now is ridiculously small.  It will have to be soldout for that franchise to exist long term.  Attendance for Ottawa football teams peaked in the mid-1970s, then fell off a cliff.

Is john chick still in the game? They went 7 seconds without mentioning his name so I thought maybe he wasn't playing anymore.

That wide-open-in-my-hands drop by Baggs was priceless. For everything else you need Mastercard LMFAO!

Wow that's really rough.

Bo Levi Mitchell reveals Joe West played in Ottawa today despite losing his brother this morning. Told Bo to tell the world. Wow #Stamps

Wow! That's bloody awful. I bet he was just playing to keep his mind off the tragedy of it. Condolences. Sucks when someone you love dies.

Yeah that should make cmon man

Awesome non-call on the facemask on Elimimians sack on SInseri. CFL officiating at it finest!.

The last sack? What facemask?

Nice drive by Cortez... great playcalling

I wonder how hurt Durant is

The Riders special teams has been awful. Stoudermire will have a field day with this if they don't fix it for next week.

We will never see Grigsby sacrifice himself like Allen just did... 

If coaches are going to challenge these kind of plays, we need to scrap the damn thing. That's embarrassing. They should start fining coaches for doing that ****.

Elimimian had his grill grabbed on the way to the sack. No that is matters.

16 secs left...Need to score now for the Guarantee!

Cry.

more challenge crap

I'll say this about the guarantee, first time in a while bc place hasn't seemed like a morgue

Didn't see much of the game, did Messam play?

No was hurt I think

Didn't see much of the game, did Messam play?

 

Meesam did not play.  Durant left before the start of the 2nd half with a hurt throwing hand.

Riders looked very beatable today and were lucky to squeak out a win over BC, so we have reason to be optimistic. Can't have another fumble-fest, though.

I am curious why there was no flag on the play Glenn got hurt on. He was clearly sliding and two guys went and landed on him, Do they only protect the "star" qbs or what?

 

Ultimately I think BC screwed themselves in the game when they took a roughing penalty on 2nd down and followed it up with a shanked punt out of bounds. Would have been punting from mid field and probably pinning the riders deep, instead the penalties pushed the Riders up to near midfield and totally flipped the field around. 

Ottawa game -   Burris has checked out big time.... that defense played big but was to tired by the end.    Contrary to what Goalie said the game was close up until the last quarter when the D gassed out.    

 

I think DeMarco should get a start.... Burris needs his ego put in check and that offense needs something new.   

 

 

BC Sask game -  I can't believe BC lost to Tino Sunseri lol... in fairness the guy didn't look all that bad out there.  BC sucks at stopping the run and they let this game get away...

 

Tim Brown gave them fantastic field position all night and Glenn naturally couldn't finish any of his drives.   He started off hot... got hit and was completely out of rhythm.   I think Glenn would of been toast in Ottawa had he stayed and I think he's worn out his welcome in BC now also.

 

Riders D had nice pressure... still not sold on their secondary.      Clearly they can run the ball and throw the odd one to Getlaf....  

 

We can only hope that the Blue actually can stop the run for once....
