  1. The Ticats will have to designate another player on roster as a qb then. You have to have 3 on the roster. Am I wrong? I was pretty sure that's how it worked. No cost savings
  2. When did I say that? Anyway, as you were.
  3. I think we set a professional football record for the most qb switches in that game. It mattered
  4. Coulda woulda shoulda doesn't matter. You either win or you lose. Were you complaining when Crapigna rang the ball off the upright last year in OT against you guys and you won? Or let me guess, that was different.
  5. They sure are. They beat us fair and square, no crying here. I imagine things will unfold a bit different this week with a starting qb in there
  6. We are 4-0 against the two teams you mentioned. Sounds lucky to me
  7. Well, you get us on a short week in your stadium. Maybe it will happen again. I hope you lose again too. I predicted before the banjo bowl that the next time we played you Nichols wouldn't be playing. I'll stand by that
  8. Edmonton has been horrible against the run, but that offense is managing to win games anyway. Rarely any team has all 3 firing on all cylinders, except those dam stamps most of the time, that's why they are so hard to beat
  9. There is no smoke and mirrors. We have a very good defense and our special teams are also very good. Which part of either of those seems like a illusion to you? Our offense has been poor and has been along for the ride
  10. Nichols being better than Collaros is highly debatable. I don't like either so I'm not interested in getting into that argument. Our problems on offense run a lot deeper than the qb position. Poor play calling, receivers dropping balls. Plenty of blame to go around
  11. Jones got rid of Durant first chance he got, nothing has changed. I'd go easy on the qb jokes, I've watched your guy play this year
  12. No thanks buddy.. He is a Bomber. Are you guys going to retire his number? I give a rats ass if he comes back to play as long as it isn't with us.
  13. Hard not to be a big fan of Paul Maurice. He handles himself with such class. I think he is a great coach
  14. I like Flanders, I'd go with him. You are in a world of hurt if you have to depend on Lafrance
  15. Durant is the least of your problems this year.
  16. That's a good quote and so true. My daughter plays hockey and I keep telling her there is no secret ingredient. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard, and talent that works hard is unstoppable
  17. I never said the Riders were in the same class as the Stamps, that's a hell of a leap there. We have trouble beating the stamps for the same reasons I mentioned. I actually could care less what you think the reason is why the Riders have won as many games as we have. As far as the booing, Collaros and the Riders have been boo'd quite a few times this year at home. Collaros even stood up and commented that he didn't blame the fans for being mad. He handled it the right way. I always get mad when we lose the game on the last play, like any fan would. I realize its never about one play. We had the Argos down and out in the first half. We let them get back in it nearly lost because of it.
  18. Its not luck when you lose to someone 2 weeks in a row. As far as giving games away, well, turnovers etc. are always a part of most loses. Not taking care of the football can be a side effect of pressure or many other things. Teams like Calgary always seem to come out on the winning side of close games. They are just good and make few mistakes, its not a secret, they just outlast their opponents. Talent wise, there usually isn't a huge difference between the top team and the bottom one. The top teams just never make mistakes and they protect the ball.
  19. Will be interesting. I agree likely Reilly or Mitchell don't move, but the other teams needing someone will up their dollars to stay where they are
  20. Its a game day thread about the Riders, feel free to not respond to any of my posts.
  21. No rider fans are trying to say he is a elite qb. No one is making excuses for how he is playing. He isn't crying about getting boo'd. Look in the mirror if you want to see delusional fans making excuses for a overpaid qb
