Here's an interesting Twitter quote from their 1st round draft pick (5th overall)

Ese Mrabure-Ajufo ‏@emrabajufo99

They didn't say it was gonna be easy. They didn't say it would be this degrading and humiliating either #ChinUpKiddo

Mrabure-Ajubo was just de-activated and placed on the PR.

Here's how the other 1st rounders have fared so far this year:

They have beat Montreal twice and BC. 2 teams we have beat also. Redblacks are improved but they aren't exactly grey cup contenders.

 

Any team that makes the playoffs is a grey cup contender and they look like they are headed to the playoffs

Somebody in the East has to miss the playoffs, who do you predict?

 

FML...seriously!  I hate everyone who is getting 3 or more pick'ems right every week.

I thought Edmonton was a sure win.  Then it was a flip for Montreal or Ottawa.  I figured I'd go for Montreal...bleh.  All I need now is for Saskatchewan to win to ruin things for me.

 

 

I'm in the exact same boat as you.

 

And I've blown it this year for pick'em. I'm nowhere near in the race anymore.

Word from Riderfans is Dressler is out for this game

 

CKRM say undisclosed reason

Makes the Richardson cut even more baffling

Small sample size but it looks like Sam is just not fast enough to play rush end and to big to be a lb in the CFL

Two minutes and three first downs after kickoff, there's still more people outside waiting to get thru Rogers new security measures than there are inside....

Three more months in this dump.

Nichols is not a great qb... So bad in the red zone.

Lulay is done and needs receivers...

Burris can throw the ball 10 yards or less..

Cato could of won the game had not for his brain farts. He definitely has the physical tools to do well in this league.

Ottawa has horse shoes... Also extremely undisciplined on Defense. Those penalties will catch up..

Also that Alyx punter was the worst kicker I've ever seen punt in this league.

Weak call on smith offside - seen way worse

Refs are killing the cfl

eew Ryan's Smiths throwing action sure looks gruesome.

Boo, big play by the Riders.

Riders are getting boned by the refs...

Self destructing. Boatmen need to step on their throats.

Unnatural amount of penalties. Most are deserved

smith's throwing motion is (redacted)

 

 

refs are taking all the holding penalties sask didn't get called for  over the last few years, and making  them up in one game.

I'm cheering for boatmen - but most of these calls usually are let go

How is it Mcallum can jaw at the ref. without penalty and yet receivers can't even look at them?

Is oday usually on the sidelines

refs need to relax a big here.

 

what did mcallum say? didn't look nice.

Is my surround sound messed up or is the refs Mic not really coming through?

How the fk did we not pick waud

these refs are pathetic

Should be fumble
