I am not happy with the game. I'm here to face the music. I thought we would win. I actually thought we would run the ball a bit and bring some pressure

Doesn't matter who you cheer for, buy a ticket and come out and support your team. The league needs the support. I hope the day never comes that the league isn't here

I'm not sure he is the best receiver on the Riders. Roosevelt is pretty dam good.. Carter is a top 10 receiver in the league I would say IMHO

My daughter is 11 and has become a big fan. I take her to almost every game and it has sure made me a better fan in the process.

It is a strange move. I'm not here trying to defend it. The injury thing doesn't concern me, it can happen in practice on a non contact play like it did to Nichols. We lost Durant for the season same way in a game where no one touched him. Got to play your best players and just hope it doesn't happen. If Carter is better at HB than the backups, that's not a good thing for the team. Doesn't say anything about Carter himself other than he is a good football player. I think he will do fine even though i'd rather have him on offense

Its the young bucks about 20years old that stir up a lot of the crap. They are also the ones that get the most drunk. Be nice to see the stadiums across league show a bit of judgement about how many drinks they need to serve to people at the game. I've travelled to rider games and Calgary is the place where I have had the most problems. Twice I have been in fights there. I'm older now and a lot more mellow. I have had some tense moments at stadium in Winnipeg but nothing too overboard ever occurred. I don't travel to out of town games anymore, unless its playoffs, its not worth the hassle

I think Ottawa starting rookie on Oline will be a problem. Our front 7 is good and Harris won't have the time he needs. Jury still out on Collaros with this fan, but we will run the ball right at a questionable dline from Ottawa. We will be 4-1 when we play Calgary.

Certain opinions are just not welcome when they come from a opposition fan. If a team fan says the same thing often not much is said about it. That's just the nature of fans boards I guess. People are also suspicious of posts and are quick to label them trolling when that's not what they are

I am not crazy about Carter playing there either. He is a legit weapon at WR with good hands. He is someone you have to account for on every play or you will get burned. I get it that this is a injury replacement situation. Truth is we should not be in this situation to begin with. Too many Dline guys on roster. In any event, I want to win games and if this is what we have to do this week, so be it. Would like it addressed moving forward however. Riders will win tomorrow

I don't see you getting dumped on over there. Or not that I noticed

You wouldn't be banned instantly. You just wouldn't have a audience, you would get called out on it. Better stay here and make your jokes, and stay out of football discussion

Its pathetic and insecure of fans to need to jump all over other teams fans whenever they post. There are fans from here that post on rider fans, I think its good. We have some idiot fans that do the same crap to them. I always defend their right to have a voice as long as it is good taste. I appreciate your post.

Won't win a single game in the west division? You summed up your football knowledge with that sentence

You are right. Thank god we hired a ex coach from Toronto so we could win our one and only game of the year

I'm not downplaying anything. I just wouldn't have written a article about it

Ridiculous to suggest that's the reason we won. We won the game because we played better. Dunk has the tinfoil on a bit tight on this one

Nic Demski knows the Riders offense. Players and coaches switch teams all the time.

They didn't sign him then because he was no where near better than Durant. Its funny what starts looking good when you are desperate

With the game being in Calgary, I think the Cats are in tough.

I thought just under 30 wasn't bad for a 7pm Friday night game. Tough for out of town fans to make it to the stadium. We sat down 10 minutes before Riders came on field. Lots of people were still at gates after game started

I'm not going to argue because it isn't worth the effort. Jones has done some flat dumb things in his time in charge. We have made some very good moves too, but whatever.

Injuries is major concern, but secondly just being rusty and not being in sync as a team. Messam has no carries with this oline. Hughes has never played with Evans or Jefferson. Our front 4 on d haven't taken one snap together except in practice

I would have played them myself, at least a bit. Its not like nobody knows who they are. Its not a secret

Its pretty hard to rank preseason games.

Jefferson, Hughes, Evans, Messam are starters. How much did you see them on the field either game?
