How would they feel about the snake? That's also fun. Nickthesizz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't that bring back memories of 2009? Bramlet, Santos and Bishop with a good Oline too. Would be real nice if Durant gave Jones nightmare after the game.

JuranBoldenRules Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Glenn's QB rating over the past 3 seasons as a starter with BC, Sask and MTL is under 90. That's like Jyles level QBing. They'd need a lot of spectacular performances all over the field to be close to .500 if he's their QB. rebusrankin and SPuDS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Just now, Ripper said: We'll win 8 I think If all the stars line up, maybe. I suspect, as others here have that the Riders are probably looking at a 6 & 12 season if Glenn stays healthy. All that stupidity swirling around the team has to have an impact on the players. Maybe the novelty of a new stadium will offset some of that, but I think Jones is going to have to walk on water to get anywhere near .500 and avoid the guillotine.

Atomic Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Honestly the Riders' only hope is for Vince Young to come in and light it up. It's a long shot but Glenn won't get them into the playoffs so it's their only shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else matters. I like this. I really do. And for me, the perfect start to the season would be, with Durant at QB, for Montreal to absolutely annihilate the Riders on June 22 in Montreal.

(aside from the Latin, which I have no ******* clue...) I'd never cheer for Montreal but I hope they light up Sask for 500 yds and 50pts.

Kind of like twiddlee dee twiddlee dum, but rather coddlee dee coddlee dumb... Is it really coddling their fan base when 3 of the 5 games are loses (one blow-out and two heartbreakers)? It could be seen as rubbing it in to some. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_gold_84 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Looks like the Dumpsterfires, er... Roughriders managed to sign six of their 2017 draft picks.

Mr Dee Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 This is for tburgess's eyes only. The rest of you are not allowed to read. So don't. It involves the number of POTENTIAL interceptions that have been dropped. Interceptions that the writer claims should have been caught. These potential interceptions could have changed the course of the CFL season and thusly, the fate of the world. This chart shows Matt Nichols being close to the top (or bottom) of this category. Hence, it plays right into the hands of the "yeah but if this would have happened crowd". I mention this only because TB is the president of this club. Never mind that there are plenty of other factors involved in the dropping of 'sure' interceptions. Just read the damned chart and believe..

As I expected almost half of Nichols INT's weren't picked off, making him the 3rd 'luckiest' QB in the league.

Jpan85 Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 It makes it look like Nichols had a pile more balls that could be pick off than Riley but it's only one more pass could be pick off that was. So if Nichols was the most unlucky quarter back in the league he would of thrown 12 int. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall taking these numbers and using them to come up with stats that I thought were of greater relevance, but there could have been peyote involved. Either set of numbers came up with the same rock-solid conclusion - Cato sucks. Maybe I'll do some searching for that data later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
