Pretty simple answer to this one .. do you think Riders wish they had their challenge when Bridge got hit? We could’ve been in that same situation. I don’t see the need to blow the challenge on a call they’re clearly not going to reverse.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA they deserve this so bad

Super duper secret.

In a move that will probably surprise nobody, Poopmane is going to join the Riders.

He's an end not a tackle.

Poop asked to go home, since he could make more money there. Understandable.

I think you have to aim for skill players in this draft and I think you need to look towards the idea of making a move on a future guy (a la Geoff Gray) with one of those firsts. This draft, from what I've heard, is pretty loaded. I'd look to take a linebacker or d-lineman, and a receiver. Maybe a safety if there is one, since I think Loffler may be a question mark going forward for us. Then again, I'd love to see us transition to an American safety if he leaves. Dejon Brissett seems like the kind of guy O'Shea and Walters would be all over ... can play all over the field, on offence and special teams, honour roll student at Richmond ... big bodied receiver. Maybe you grab a guy like that or Oliviera with the BC pick and aim for a guy like Kongbo with our pick later on.

He's caught every ball that has been thrown his way, according to CFL.ca He's been a very key contributor in other packages, including our punt cover team Not really sure what more you could ask of a receiver. And before you play the "Peterman has jumped him on the depth chart" card, they don't play the same spot. Simonise plays WR and right now, we have two starting WRs that have yet to miss a game this year.

I think Oliviera is a heck of a talent, but let's be realistic, he's not even close to a NFL caliber back.

Just out of curiosity, what is your opinion of Simonise based on? Seems pretty wild to be that down on a guy who comes with the background he has, especially as a Canadian.

I think our offensive Canadian talent could look very solid even once Harris moves on. 2020 and we deploy Gray, Goossen, Chungh, Wolitarsky, Demski, Peterman/Simonise? Could be a solid way to deploy the ratio. We’ll probably need some depth to go with 3 Canuck receivers, but it’s possible.

Or Leggett or Randle ... I’d be surprised if both were on the team next year.

If he signs next year, he probably just signs a two year deal. He wasn’t going to commit until 2021, that’d be super foolish of him.

If someone can post the tweet that’d be nifty. Huge deal, signed through 2020

Why are we basing this discussion off one quarter of garbage time football?

I think it’s fair to say Nichols didn’t wow me with his play yesterday. I think it’s fair to say I still don’t think he is the best QB on our roster. But as someone who thinks it’s important to give credit where credit is due, I also think it’s fair to say his play is trending in the right direction lately and he seems to be improving every game. Could go into it deeper than that, but who really cares. We won. He’s our starter, that’s not changing so let’s just buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Do you really think it’s appropriate for you to be calling someone “cancer”, considering how hypersensitive you are to things like that? That being said, I am a big time Nichols detractor and I’m so fired up he celebrated like that. If he could get his swagger back, maybe he’d get back to the level he’s capable of. That’s a start.

As impressed as I am, we can’t get too cocky. Riders on the road on four days rest probably not gonna be as tough as Riders at home in the playoffs. Their offense is hot garbage though. Wow. Our secondary coming together at the right time. Great to see!

Streveler is so much better than Nichols at this point that it’s not even worth a discussion. and before people say “omg Streveler only made two plays”, let me counter with “Nichols has made one all game”. Nichols is basically clueless out there now. Looking lost as hell.

Dave had it right - we have no depth. Also my mind is blown on the stance Floyd is taking on this. What world have I walked into?

Not that the silence today was a make it or break it scenario, but disappointing to know we’re not going to be good enough to win ... again. Just about over Walters, etc. Our roster at the beginning of the year wasn’t good enough, but **** it, let’s not bother trying to make it better right? All year. Same ****.

Everyone getting better but us ... so far

What I’m thinking of is looking at an improvement for our third import spot.

I don't necessarily think either one of them is a "big time" receiver, but they'd certainly be an upgrade. When you got a group of 7s, you don't pass up an 8 because you're looking for a 10.

A big time receiver.
