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

Didn't Demarco get hurt as well tho?

Didn't Demarco get hurt as well tho?

 

Yes. He was taken off on a cart. Think it's his knee.

The score in that Ottawa Calgary game might have been close for most the game but it was obvious who the better team was and who was going to win... For a while there, i kept thinking,  If Ottawa could get anything out of their Offence, they might win this one but... after seeing  Hank check out of the game, earlier than he actually did, and seeing the receivers just flat out giving up on passes, some weren't very catchable, it was obvious Calgary was going to win. 

 

might have been 8-7 for a long time but that score flatters the redblacks big time cuz calgary pretty much controlled the time of possession the entire game, Ottawa did nothing offensively, at half they had 58 total yards and 52 penalty yards.. It wasn't as close as the 8-7 score indicated. 

Burris looks bad because Ottawa has no legit receiving options. Desjardins really failed in that area. I suspect they throw a ton of money at Dressler and Matthews when they become available.

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.

 

Disagree....

 

If you listen to some of the denizens, on RF.....their current winning streak (including the one against us)....is one for the ages...

When Hank starts getting that "not my fault" look.....the slides are greased...

Why wouldn't he be trying to bring in Greg Carr, Doug Pierce and/or Priche Rodriguez from the Arena league, or contacting Joe Mack to track down some young receiver talent from the States?  TJ Harris, Kurt Adams, and Jade Etienne are still available too.

It's not like the Riders are the defending Grey Cup Champions or anything.

With the amount of movement in the CFL each offseason, combined with the expansion draft, being the defending champs doesn't mean an incredible amount. Sure, it gives you a head start (and some instant respect), but that'll only go so far.

 

Then again, despite the West's dominance, every single team has looked beatable this season. Calgary's offense hasn't impressed me at all, including against Ottawa, B.C. and Saskatchewan are very hot and cold, and Edmonton is riding high on its defense for the time being (which could carry them all the way through, but rarely does in this league). The Bombers are still so unknown, even at 6-3 -- they're somewhere between an average team and an elite team, and it'll probably take until close to the end of the regular season to really know what kind of team they'll be (hopefully) heading into the playoffs, regardless of their actual record.

The fact that the Bombers, after a few rough offensive outings and with MB as the OC, are still #1 in the league in many offensive categories, definitely says something about the entire state of offenses in the CFL this year. At least 6 teams can lay claim to a solid defense (and Ottawa's is coming together, too), but who would you actually be worried about regularly putting up 400 yards of total offense? The Bombers, Lions, and Argos are really the only ones who have done it even semi-consistently this year.

Do Rider fans still think Durant is a better qb than Ricky Ray?

during the half time interview he basically pouted and said "no one is doing their job." has to be a shitty locker room in the capital 

I told you all, Burris plays the great team mate when things are going good but as soon as there is adversity it's everyone elses fault, not his. Guy is a real piece of ****.

I suspect the ORBs will make Dressler a ridiculous offer he can't refuse and they may go after Matthews as well once he is cut.
