Lapo 4-19 in Ottawa since 2021. 0-3 with Massoli. What's this about being some kind of great coach?? Even with Massoli healthy all season, he'd probably be 2-7 or 3-6. LaPo's a disaster.

Yeah, smirking & laughing. Talking it up to the camera. They look like fools.

I don't think he yelled because he hurt Rourke but because of the sack. Nonetheless, a guy is down on the field so he should've reigned it in.

Roy Shivers & Danny Barrett started the culture we see today over 20 years ago. Shivers always was a loudmouth as a GM. He created this "Us Against Them" mentality with the Rider fans. Barrett as a HC as well. Shivers used to make a big deal about his skin colour. Shivers proudly used to announce that he only scouted black players. You'd think the **** show Shivers created would have gone away once he left but it didn't & it's still going strong today with that fanbase & team. Guys like Thug Garrett Marino, AC Leonard, Nick Marshall & Pete Robertson screaming with elation on the sidelines as Nathan Rourke lay injured on the Mosaic Stadium turf. It was a clean hit but there he was screaming nonetheless. Never seen a team act as badly as the Riders do. I know a few Rider fans who are getting tired of the circus act.

Well, if they didn't suspend Marino after what he did to Jeremiah Massoli, imagine what hemight have done getting a 1 game suspension? Has there been a serial killing in Regina? Kidnapping? Carjacking? It's not because of what Gott did. It's a Covid restriction from what I understand.

Some posters here don't think much of Geoff Gray but to me he's a valuable player along that line where he can play guard or slide out to tackle if need be. He's not the problem at starting LG, it's Neufeld starting at RG. I can't see him playing as a starter much past this season. Always something bothering him which affects his performance. We need someone better if he isn't playing at 100% because of injuries.

One of Walters big jobs this off season will be to to try & rebuild our OL before it gets to 2014 & 15 level of play. Right now, We have enough pieces that we only have to change one or 2 positions. Obviously, Neufeld is on the bubble. If we can sign a talented & younger OG we need to do that. I think he's at the end of the road as a starter. Big Stan hasn't had a dominant season as we're used to but does he have enough in the tank to play another season. He may retire. So, we may also be looking for a new starting LT.

The Rider organization is just hot garbage.

Straight ahead bull type rusher who is a situational player. Not a starter. He was a Fullback at SFU.

Damned straight.

He could have signed with us at least twice before & from what I understand he led Walters on thinking he'd sign here before signing with the Argos & then back with the Elks. He signed with 2 shitty teams & played badly for both. He made his bed. Screw him. I hope he enjoys playing for the crap show Elks.

If Arceneaux is out playing him why do you think he'd help us?

He's an Antre Milanovic-Litre clone. Not much else. Runs the same & looks the same. Milanovic-Litre was my son's fullback at SFU & was great (in the NCAA D2 Great Northern Athletic Conference) & I loved watching him bash & run over defenders back then but he's barely a backup in the CFL. If both Milanovic-Litre & Ouelette are starters, their teams can't run the ball well at all. He gets paid too much money. He won't take a pay cut.

Remember the days before the pandemic when Derel Wajker was the premiere receiver in the CFL? He became a free agent & we had our own private "Have You Seen Derel Lately? Watch" going on here?? Now, nobody cares about Walker anymore. Ah, good times....

O'Connor has a strong arm & he's a tall lanky qb. He can run but not like Rourke. I can't see him making some of the throws Rourke did but he has motivated receivers who will work hard to get open for him. He won't be putting up the numbers Rourke did but I could see him throwing for 200-250 yard a game. I think teams will blitz the **** out of him trying to rough him up. That OL benefitted from Rourke's ability to get away from pressure & throw laser beam accurate passes. O'Connor can't do that. If the Lions go 50% the rest of the way they'll be hosting the Western Semi Final.

Panthers rookie qb Matt Corral suffered a "significant" Lisfranc injury to his foot, Out for the season. https://www.nfl.com/news/panthers-qb-matt-corral-suffers-lisfranc-injury-in-friday-s-preseason-game-likel

I really wanted to see that air show play here in minus 20 weather on November 13th.

Breaking News: Nick Arbuckle has been traded to the BC Lions for a 6th round pick in the 2023 Draft & a 7th round pick in 2024. A bag of footballs may be included in 2024 depending on his performance.this season. Rourke won't be back.

I was saying th same thing when the game was going on. They wanted to run up the score & pad everyone's stats. Make sure Rourke wins the CFL's MOP Award. The Lions were really getting greedy as the season went on. They got burned with their selfishness & ego. Hope Rick Campbell slept well the last two nights. He ****** over his star generational qb & may have also ****** up his career if that injury doesn't heal fully. They sure had a lot of fun kicking sand in team's faces, didn't they? Every night a party. Well, that ended rather quickly.

Yeah, agree. Just get Collaros outta there when defensive players are pissed & want to go trophy hunting.

Forgot to mention, the other problem is swelling. Some people recover quicker from swelling while others don't & it affects recovery time. That can be very frustrating. Trust me, I've had foot surgery a number of times & every time something different always occurs while recovering. You just never know. None of my surgeries took less than 6 months to heal.

The foot has 26 bones. Mostly small & hundreds of thousands of nerve endings. They're needed because we use our feet for balance & we need receptors to tell us if something is hard, slippery, wet, sharp, hot or cold. This makes the foot very sensitive after surgery. Whenever surgery is done on the foot, recovery is slow. Not only because the bones need to heal but the nerves damaged in that surgery need to regenerate & heal. That takes months because it is a slow process. some nerves will come back but others may never be the same. Surgical procedures have changed but healing time hasn't. Rourke will have the best doctors, surgeons & physiotherapists taking care of him so he should heal a little quicker than you & I. It'll still take months.

i wonder if Anthony Calvillo would have the stats he has if he didn't play nearly every down of every game whether the Als had a big lead or not? Marc Trestman let him pile up the passing stats season after season.
