Eternal optimist

Okay.... for starters, at most during the regular season you get 2 home games against a divisional opponent, so that's just not possible, but since you asked, here's the game dates and attendance: 2017 Friday, July 7 (CAL) - 30,165 Thursday, August 17 (EDM) - 30,554 Saturday, September 9 (SSK) - 33,134 2018 Saturday, September 8 (SSK) - 33,134

I would argue a much better gauge of d-line success is not only QB sacks, but also average rushing yards against. I compiled the week 3 results (per CFL.ca) and manually added in week 4 using the official box scores...here's the total opponent rushing yards and opponent yards per attempt, by team. As well as their record: Team - Total yards - Attempts - YDs/Attempt WPG - 128 - 34 - 3.76 - (3-0) CGY - 304 - 78 - 3.89 - (2-1) OTT - 300 - 70 - 4.28 - (2-1) TOR - 294 - 60 - 4.90 - (0-3) SSK - 382 - 72 - 5.30 - (1-3) BC - 486 - 90 - 5.40 (0-3) MTL - 331 - 61 - 5.43 (1-2) EDM - 270 - 48 - 5.62 (2-1) HAM - 576 - 94 - 6.12 (3-1) So in terms of stopping the run, SSK is adequate at best. Also, your argument neglects the fact SSK has played an extra game than WPG, so of course they have more stats - I would be very surprised if they didn't... they have about 40 more offensive plays to get said stats.

This is just straight up false. We broke 29,000 3x in 2017, and once in 2018. Don't spout lies.

Lol... even his stock is subject to a dead cat bounce, I guess.

Yep... 2015 he returned a punt for a 93 yard TD against the Argos in preseason... tore his ACL in the final preseason game and was released thereafter. Far as I can tell, never played a regular season game for another team.

Looks like the lights at the bar just came on for 'Riders fans... They just realized how ugly the QB they've been dancing with is lol

You're neglecting to count the largest cohort of 'Rider fans - fish flies, mosquitoes and other beings that have a larval stage.

That is just pathetic

If you told me at the start of the year, the Lions could be out of the gate (potentially) at 0-4, I would not have believed you.

HH to Lankford on Medlock's onside recovery ... only someone as inept as him at returning kicks could manage to concede a turnover without actually touching or fumbling the ball.

FTFY.

As far as I can tell, T.J. Thorpe has dropped off the face of the earth... where are all those people saying we should've kept him when he asked to be released?...

Just thought I'd mention it for others on here too...TSN now offers per-day rates ($4.99 + tax), for access to their channels, so you could use that, provided you have an internet connection.

Let SSK just have him now. He's dead to me.

At this point they'll have to put paper bags on top of the cardboard cutouts that were already there.

Actually, Hamilton has the only two winless seasons in CFL history (1949; 0-12-0, 1946;0-10-2). They also have the worst record in the 18-game era (2003; 1-17-0)

He was also very selfish, never wanted to pass protect...

Hey that's not entirely true, they have a pretty good statistical category section that isn't subject to their poor analysis. Nic Grigsby says hi.

Why even bother showing up?

While I agree with your assessment, it is the CFL and anything could happen... just hoping for a good game and not another blowout against the Argos.

Join the rest of the nation and celebrate one of our country's greatest pastimes - watching the 'Riders lose! Celebrations start 7:00PM ET as we mark the 2nd anniversary of the first ever loss at Mosaic Stadium, hopefully they can continue their trend of ineptitude with a spectacular 0-3 start to the year!

What's more embarrassing? a) Choking away an 11-point lead b) Having the comeback led by backup QB Arbuckle, who had 1 TD pass before this happened.

I know we're all gushing over Lucky's big game but thought it was worth mentioning he was also the player that made the tackles on the Chris Matthews interception and the 1st of two fumbles by Harris. The guy just doesn't give up on the play...

Play-on words here is spectacular.

I think people are forgetting that EDM came into town hot, and we had the awkward scheduling blip of a W2 bye... alot of the mistakes last night were related to execution .. which should be patched up once we get a few more games under our belt.
