Now that Thorpe and Fogg are healthy, I'd love to see Flanders come in for Lankford.

I'm gonna go Kamar Jorden

My main complaint is LaPolice. And it has nothing to do with his offensive scheme. I like his playbook. Ferguson is right, he shows a lot of creativity. Lots of stuff to be impressed with. He just can't play call worth **** in the first or fourth quarters of a football game.

Doesn't Chris Jones realize his team sucks so much nobody needs to cheat to beat them?

Poop Johnson is incredible.

I watched Johnson all first half against Calgary and the guy is an absolute monster

"I know nothing about him but yes he is very good!" How can you even provide a valid opinion on a player when you don't know what position he plays?

That RUFF Draught they released is way better - it's advertised as a blonde ale, but it's hoppy like an IPA. Really good stuff. If you're hitting up Dangerous Man, take pit stops at Junkyard (Moorhead) and Disgruntled (Perham) along the way, you won't be disappointed. Indeed, Modist and Wild Mind are personal favourites of mine IN Minneapolis also.

Hey Cory Eat at OGC - their food is awesome. The beer they have is their own, I just don't think the early batches were on their own system. Really enjoyed the vibe there, it reminded me (layout wise) of Surly in Minnesota. Make sure you try Codename Ghost at Half Pints if you're still there - best beer in MB right now easily.

Sounds like it's going to be a heck of a crowd. Can't wait!!

Excited to see Wolitarsky next week on the field. I have a feeling he's going to be a pleasant surprise.

Anyone notice one of the guys he goes up to at the end in the stands is Chris Getzlaf? Awesome piece. I truly want nothing more than to see Dressler's time with the Riders be the early stages of his career and for him to go in the CFHOF as a Bomber. Would love to see him resigned after this season. Fun fact: that TD vs SSK was the longest play of his career.

Calgary is starting Kashawn Fraser at DE. And Randy Richards at LT. Two guys who played for us and sucked when they did. No Hughes, no Davis, no Law. Davaris Daniels is back. I'm going high scoring ... Winnipeg 35 Calgary 33

I'll never cease to be amazed at someone's willingness to continually be the bearer of bad news that everyone cringes to hear from. We get it. There are negatives to go with the positives. Congratulations for being the hero nobody wants for bringing them all to light for those of us who are too blind (see: uninterested) to constantly dwell on the bad things.

From a fan standpoint, I expected to be blown away by the new Mosaic and I wasn't. It's a beautiful stadium, but all things equal, my personal preference is ours. Could just be that certain things are incomplete, but a big thing for me is that the concourse is entirely closed off for the most part and it's impossible to watch the game while you go get a drink. No screens in the concourse either. The walkways also feel super narrow and the seats feel ridiculously cheap. Lots of leg room, Pils Country looks like a blast and I can't wait to be there for the LDC, the overall stadium looks great but there are reasons I prefer ours.

Classic TBURGESS

First game, crazy atmosphere, Riders definitely came to play in the bookend quarters. We'll figure it out.

"works for us" Except it doesn't, because the majority of your serious fans think that what "works for you" is ****ing ruining the game slowly.

I mean he was pretty bad.

Watching the mental gymnastics that go on there as they try to convince themselves that's a solid lineup reminds me of way back when we used to try and pretend that JT Gilmore and Desia Dunn and Bo Smith weren't that bad, they just needed an opportunity!

I'm over this argument, but you definitely have to secure it otherwise, you could just say "hey it hit my hand, that's good enough" How do you catch a ball without "securing" it.

Just so people are aware of what to expect tomorrow re: their 7th Canadian. They're going to declare 4 Canadians on O, 3 on D. They can't switch that around mid-game, it has to be pre-determined. So what will happen is that even though they're not listed as starters, one of Judge, Francis, Edem or Steele will always be on the field in addition to the two listed starters (Mrabure and Hecht) Speculation, of course, as they haven't confirmed anything but declaring 5 Canadians on offense would be ridiculously stupid, considering Bagg is less than 100% and if he got hurt, it would mean Spencer Moore or whoever Albert Awachie is would then have to be on the field for every down ... or they could switch Marshall out for Greg Morris the fumbling machine, I guess.

Riders depth chart is up, although I can't get on the twitters here to post it Needless to say, it looks gross. Muamba isn't playing and they've only got 6 starting Canadians listed.
