Can't help but agree with you. When the rubber hits the road and you need that 1st and Ten or a game winning drive I really don't like our chances with MN at the helm. We may make the playoffs (maybe) but with MN at the controls it will be a quick one and done.

Starting to agree with you. And he can take MN with him. All we needed to seal the win was to get 1 first down after the TO punt - MN can not lead this team to a first down when they need one.

I put this loss strictly on MN. All we needed after the TO punt was 1 first down. He went 2 and out quickly. MN will not win the tough games for us. Never has never will.

Just hoping for a Bomber Win. If the Bombers lose or squeak out a win by a field goal or so - there will be lots of questions asked. However the Argos are due to get better at some point in time - at least one would think they can only get better as they probably could not get any worse. They have played a few good games against some of the teams so can not count them as a free spot that's for sure.

Guess it is because he no longer plays for the Big Blue - See it over on RiderFans.com all the time. If the player is part of the Rider Organization he is the best thing since sliced bread. Once he leaves, he is garbage. I had thought we had a better class of people on this site. Guess I was mistaken.

Can't help but agree with your comments. As for me I am OK with Nichols at the moment. I think he is more of a game manager (which is what Plop and MOS want) than someone that can light it up. As long as he has a good team around him he will win his fair share of games. He is NOT someone that can carry the team on his back and win games just based on his talent. That is my opinion in any event.

As bad as the train wreck in BC is - I would love to see them beat up on the Riders - If they manage a win in Regina the Rider fans will be in total melt down.

Ah I remember the good ol Days when Wade would take the off sides. I think it was the only reason Coach Cal kept him around! He (Wade) was very good at getting off sides - made a career out of it!

Here are my thoughts - I think your DL including Hughes and Micah have fattened their stats against the bottom dwellers such as Toronto. Against Calgary by way of example they were only average. Let's see what happens against the better Olines as the season progresses. Hughes will tire out as the season progresses and especially if your offense can not stay on the field. I still like Hughes and he does bring it game in and game out but if he has stay on the field for long periods of time over the season he will just plain wear out.

Man that's cruel! But a good one never the less!

you guys say this every year when you lose - always the coaches fault etc. IMHO I don't think your team has the talent to succeed. Your Oline is very suspect, The high dollar value players you recruited on defense so far have been a non factor. You do not have a qualified starting QB - whether Zack would have qualified as that we probably never will know. I put the blame for your poor start on your GM for his lousy recruiting in the off year. IMHO your team spent too much money on players that were past their best before date.

I guess I can't reach you with logic - so will not try! However someone disagreeing with you does not make them stupid! Just makes them disagreeing with your position. But no matter - I guess you have spent too much time swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool to understand the concept .

not happy with your language here - if you can not express your opinions in generally acceptable terms maybe you should reconsider posting here. Maybe hard to understand but just because someone expresses an opinion that is different than yours does not make them either a moron or stupid. You need to grow up and join the adults in the room.

Don't see it quite that way - with the way things seem to be going in the CFL (last night by example). This one could be settled by a FG at the end. Bombers may win but IMHO it will be close.

I can not help but agree - The league needs a viable franchise in Toronto - and what I am seeing tonight is so far away from viable that it scares me!

Hi Mark - I also found the site down - I wanted to see what the folks over there were thinking regarding TO coming to town - but the site seems to be down a lot this week.

The one play that stands out to me is the failure by the Lions to score from the 1 yard line at the end of the second quarter. Reilly is a big QB and I can not remember the last time anyone stopped him from gaining at least a yard. And to boot if I remember the play correctly, the Stamps defense stopped him right over where Chung sits at right guard. And Chung is known for his run blocking abilities from what I can remember. That IMHO might have been one of the pivotal plays of the game.

amen on that dumb call - Matt is not in sync with his receivers - we are lucky to be in the game IMHO.

Isn't he the guy I see plastered over on OurRiders.com? I think he predicts Rider Victories even when they lose!

Wow a name for the Past - you know at some point in time there will only be a few of us old folks around here that remember good ol Nasty!

Good Morning Ripper - I have no issue with your comments - they are just your opinion and that is what a forum is for. HOWEVER (note that I did cap the however) you are granted much more tolerance here on this site that I would get posting over to your teams site (Riderfans.com). I do post over there and am always careful to avoid any controversy. Their admin will block anyone that even appears to have any degree of anti Rider virus in their blood. Consider yourself lucky to be able to post to a site that allows for view points such as yours.

Oh Joy - a slower shorter Sam Hurl!

really strange weather in Calgary now - even snow warnings out for Baniff - I also checked and Regina has thunderstorm warnings out. Could be some rain, wind, hail and who knows what going on!

Who is this "Drew Willy" you refer to?? Just kidding but I do agree with your statement and I really don't like the OL that the Riders will be trying to protect him with.

beat me to it!
