Nichols would be a good guy to go camping with when you are deep in bear country

I wouldn't say that. He is scaring the hell out of me these days

Riders got boo'd a few times last night. Fans had enough and were getting mad. Instead of crying about it, Collaros said he would have boo'd too if he was a fan

exactly. Jones got out coached.

Streveler should be starting your next game. Nichols is done and won't even be on your team next year. How could anyone justify paying him 450k next year? Ditto with the Riders and Collaros

Hughes and Jefferson are successful against weak olines and when we blitz. We gave Harris all day to throw the ball. Big mistake. He is simply too good to have that much time. It killed us

You have no qb. simple. Riders have trouble with a passer. They wouldn't go after Harris for fear of Powell, and Powell was hurting us too. Perfect storm. Nichols scares no one, shut Harris down and wait for the Picks to come. Riders mistake was not blitzing, we should have went after Harris guns blazing and we didn't

That's what did us in. Gainey trying to strip the ball instead of making the tackle lead to the long run. That was game over

I say that every game we have played for the last 50 years

I'm not sure about this reffing. Seems a bit shady

Thanks for proving my point

I didn't cry but was definitely crushed that day. I wouldn't trade one of the darkest days in our teams history for not being a fan of my team. I was there then and am still here now. Its called being a fan.

Feel free to bring up a specific play where you feel a fine was warranted. I am open for a discussion on it. Ya I am a rider fan, so obviously I am wrong

You don't get fined for hurting feelings

I wasn't referring to our team this year. Its just a old saying. We need to get some offense going to be a serious contender this year. We haven't been good enough to date

Sorry man, come on. Most important player on the field is qb, you either have one or you don't. They do and you don't. Reilly is a winner hands down. Not throwing up lame ass INT's because he is scared he is going to get hit.

offense sells tickets, defense wins championships

It actually would be considering no crossover team has ever even made it to the grey cup.

I think the penalties have killed the return game.

I am not going to brag about anything as it will end up being thrown in my face later. Our defense is getting scary these days and that is exciting. Offense is still a work in progress. Happy to win a few games, feels good. Lots of football left to play. Streveler looks good, has a nice arm. He was rattled in there much like any rookie would be. Time marches on, time for Nichols to sit. Could hear it in MOS's voice however, Nichols will play. The biggest problem yesterday was how bad Jefferson was beating Neufeld, Hardick being back will help with that. Its just one game

Do you know anything about me? If you did or have ever followed Riderfans you would know that what I am saying is true. I can think of a couple half wit Tigercat fans that keep getting banned over there, which one were you? Because like most you use a different name here. I use the same name there here and there, and will stand behind anything I have said. There are other members here that post there also under the same name, I think people appreciate that.

If he ever becomes a player that plays in the league, I'll take the time to worry about the spelling of his name. My point still stands

I do. And no, Don't you guys have some Nichols jerseys to burn first?

its called being a fan. Its all part of the roller coaster ride I guess

I wasn't his biggest fan even when he played for us. I am pretty hard on everyone. Not many players become a favorite of mine. I expect to win every game and the cup every year. Doesn't work out that way
