Fatty Liver Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Toronto needs to find replacements for Owens and Durie and get better production out of their running game to help Ray out with his dinken dunk. I saw Durie a few times but he now seems to be as ineffective as Coombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Black Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 The Carter Campbell debacle is an embarrassment to the league. There is a field of play. Players and officials are only allowed on the field of play, not coaches, cheerleaders or fans. In my view Campbell was on that field and baited Carter, who foolishly fell for the taunt. The league could and should throw the book at Carter. Campbell should be sanctioned as well. Coachs have their roles and can't be allowed to get involved with play on the field. Wasn't it last year big ol' Rich Stubler was way out of the team sideline area and interfered by "coaching" an official which resulted in a fine? Austin sure learned he can't get involved on the field. Sanction Carter, Campbell and other players on the Ottawa bench for reacting to Bump. sweep the leg and ALuCsRED 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as black and white as some think, hopefully the inquiry will reveal some interesting details. I so wish we were allowed to hear the dialogue between Carter and Campbell.

Carter could have been chirping before Campbell stepped in front him, which is how many play the game. Carter (you couldn't stop me, you. Can't stop me, WHAM) obviously didn't give up ground on his walk back to the bench. You might have heard Milt state that he'd walk the line after a TD past the opposition bench, when teams are on both sides, "to see how they'd react". If Milty has looked for a reaction, you bet it's done frequently in pro football. ALuCsRED 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I know as Bomber fans we're supposed to **** all over him but Durant is a good qb, if he's healthy that's a big plus for the Riders. IC Khari and Ripper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Always appreciated Durant and I'm glad to see him on the field again. I've never seen a CFL QB shrug off DLs like he did in his prime. It'll be pretty amazing if he comes back and plays well after two potentially career-ending injuries. Atomic and IC Khari 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 That's twice in two weeks Montreal has been goateed into stupid penalties it should fall on Popp. If the bombers did the same thing our head man would be roasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, I feel we can compete with any team, but we just got to have that quarterbacking. After having seen all the teams now, we rank #9 at that position.

TBURGESS Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Interesting games last night. Ottawa looked very good again. Montreal took way too many penalties which cost them the game IMO. Carter made a great TD. Campbell shouldn't have been on the field and he should get an Oscar for his 'fall', but Carter did initiate contact and fines at a minimum are still coming for that play. Toronto scored 2 TD's before the Riders even showed up. One on a great punt return, the other on a blown coverage. Looked like it was going to be a long night for the Riders. Toronto also scored when the Riders fumbled the snap on a 3rd down gamble. Durant, despite not playing for almost 2 years, working with a new OC, and only having 1 receiver that he'd worked with before still looked good until he ran out of gas in the second half. Considering the number of changes in Regina, I was expecting them to be worse. If Durant stays healthy, which isn't likely IMO, they'll be in the mix. I have to admit that they looked better than we did in their first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zontar Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Riders made a very average TOR look special. TOR and MTL will be even money for who makes playoffs in East. I know SSK has the best fans in the league , CFL flagship etc., but what was the deal with the empty seats for home opener ? Surely, there must be some explanation IC Khari and Blueandgold 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Durant was shaking the dust off and was looking like the ol Darian, then his bad leg kicked in....He was limping notably when he left at the half...Miraculously though (ahem) he came out throwing strikes again until the last quarter...Was it that he was not in game shape or was his torn Achilles starting to act up...?? Personally I don't think he makes the year..He's one wrong move on that leg and he could be done .. He clearly can't plant and throw the long ball and chooses to dink and dunk down field...If he goes down the riders, if they weren't in trouble before, will certainly be behind the eight ball...Enough about rider troubles...we have a few of our own and I hope our qb. snaps out of it today...We need this win badly.

sweep the leg Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 It'll be interesting to see how the Riders do this year. They lost their home opener by two tds to a bad Argos team. Durant looked ok, but also got lucky the Argos dropped two easy pick 6s, and he's already dealing with a limp. They're hooped if he gets hurt. Also, how many drops did Argo receivers have?

pigseye Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Ott - Mtl is turning into a real nice rivalry. Hope Campbell gets fined too, he instigated the contact just as much as Carter, in either case, you don't see that every day. Some teams are definitely ahead of others at this time which doesn't amount to anything, its a long season.

Campbell shouldn't have been on the field, so I think he is going to face some repercussions. I'd pay for front row seats to see Carter bump into O'Shea like that, just to see Mike unleash 3 years of pent up rage would be something special.

B-F-F-C Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 The play was dead. Why can't Campbell be on the field? I thought it was only during the play that you have to be behind the sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if DD goes down that team is hooped just like last season. Seems like Jones is desperate to find a backup. He wants to trade to find one. I'd be shocked if Edmonton traded anyone to the Riders after the Riders took the Esks entire football operations staff. I'd hope Hervey just gives them the middle finger. .

Blueandgold Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I don't get the Durant love myself. He looked very average. Good game manager, but he isn't going to go out and win a game for you. Ricky Ray is so done. I just can't get over the Argos keeping him over Trevor Harris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
