The fact that this team has such highs and lows both on offense and defense throughout a game speaks more to the way players are used than the talent it possesses IMO.
-
02 was probably better, khari had I think 3 of the first 4 games with 5 td passes. Oh for the days when we had some top receiving threats and a great running threat as well.
-
Solo was ****, the last jedi was ****. I'd put attack of the clones ahead of the phantom menace but barely. Otherwise I probably agree with a lot of the rankings above.

The science on the greenhouse effect is not something you can really argue with. The debate is really surrounding predictive models and what should be done about it because it has a very real cost. Make no mistake, global warming is a real phenomenon.

Yeah the carbon tax isn't as unpopular among oil and gas producers as Jason Kenney and other conservative premiers make it seem, they just use it as an easy weapon against their opponents cause TAXES BAD!!! I saw the carbon tax of Rachel Notley as an instead of PST and I would much rather we kept control of it in province than letting the federal government have control, but Kenney is all **** everything! so here we are. Now personally I am sceptical that they work as well as advertised, and I think it's more about feels than reals when it comes to reducing carbon emissions but whatever, governments always find new ways to tax people.

Well there's no known cheap shot guys on Calgary or Saskatchewan.... awwww crap...

he bought the pipeline because he had to in order to try and save some investor confidence in Canada. He certainly hasn't done anything to get it built, he killed other pipelines, he passed other legislation to hinder efforts to market it.
-
So there are always ignorant pricks, just like all the ignorant pricks herp derping about the loss of oil and gas jobs. The only reason the state of things is this bad is political. If we as a country could get our product to market we could sell for a higher price and yes things wouldn't be booming like they were 15 years ago, but it would be stable and people would still invest in our country. Instead every party but one made varying promises to actively harm one of our countries big industries and one remaining place where people could get good jobs. Why shouldn't we be angry when our own government is handcuffing us and treating us like lepers for political gain in other parts of the country? The correct course of action is to marry climate change with responsible development of our resources, but not one party proposed that.

In today's cfl if you stand in the pocket you're going to get hit and are being asked to.
-
Even if someone steps in front at the last moment a guy with any concentration will know where the ball is going to end up. Our brains can process that information. Dbs have to disrupt the catching process.
-
I'd be shocked if collaros lasts a full game for this team. Our QBs are asked to stand in and take shots, that6bad for a soft headed guy like collaros. Seriously does lapo ever have a qb he doesn't get hurt?
-
How about going from a well paying job to having to work minimum wage in an u related field, or maybe not even having a career. This is the attitude that fuels resentment. I would be happy to make less working in oil and has, but there's no work so I am forced to try and transition, while also dealing with the stigma that exists with oil and gas people.
-
because things are very shitty here right now. People have lost jobs, people have had to change careers and take massive pay cuts, all the federal parties save the conservatives have spoken about ending oil and gas and generally just been shitting on Alberta. There is very real anger towards the rest of the country out here for very legitimate reasons. I mean the Bloc guy in his speech last night basically threw in a "**** you Alberta" for no reason other than to be antagonistic! That is how Kenney won. He played on that anger. The rest of the country just seems to ignore it though.
-
Burnham plays on a crappy team, that hurts him, and further to that neither Begelton or Burnham have tremendously eye popping stats. Yes good and been good all year, but milt only won MOP as a receiver for setting records. Andrew Harris is the obvious answer to west MOP, but like i said, the people on their high horses decided he was out of the running because of the suspension.
-
and calling it petulance is part of the problem. "Stupid Albertans, just vote Liberal" Just furthers the problem. Pierre Trudeau did serious damage to the Liberal brand that is undeniable but the Liberal party has never seriously tried to address that. they know they can win without Alberta or the west so they just carry on with is as a lost cause and conservative governments everywhere use those feelings to get themselves elected on anti Liberal sentiment.
-
and the conservatives and liberals have a lot of common ground too. That's the problem, some people equate NDP and Liberal like they're the same thing. They aren't, especially on matters of businesses. That's where the Conservatives and Liberals have a lot of common ground. But it's also dangerous to write off the conservatives as simply a hard right agenda. There are a lot of progressive people, especially out west who vote conservative because they feel ignored and betrayed by Liberal governments. It is perilous for the country for these people to be ignored. Things are very divided regionally in this country again and that's not a good thing. Time to stop the divisiveness from all parties and start working for the country as a whole, and yes that does include maintaining some semblance of an oil and gas industry like it or not.
-
oh yeah he is totally ****, but Trevor Harris got hurt and missed too much time, BLM got hurt and missed too much time, Arbuckle didn't get enough time with BLM coming back. The media loves to hang off the nuts of the riders so yeah I can see them giving the west MOP to Fajardo, but it'll be the most undeserved recognition ever.
-
Yeah Harris is obviously the MOP, but people decided when he was suspended they wouldn't vote for him so we will see an undeserving representative.
-
He was just working with what he had. Guys who couldn't stay in the pocket so he rolled them out and took the shorter throws. It was an offence built to try and keep Collaros alive and deal with Bridges limitations. With Fajardo he can do some different things but he's got him making quick throws on slants and things like that. Pretty safe stuff, limited decision making, limited deep shots on account of Fajardo isn't a good deep ball qb. The guy is like the opposite of Lapolice. Where Lapolice fits people into his scheme Macadoo seems to build something to maximize what he has.
-
As much as rider fans like to complain about mcadoo the guy does put in a system that helps mask his qbs deficiencies.
-
Tallest midget.
-
Imagine going all in on Cody Fajardo....
-
I remember one decent sized gain for the stamps, they had guys run deep to draw the dbs off and left bighill in one on one with a receiver, everyone else I assume was blitzing. That's the stupid **** that kills us on D. expecting the middle linebacker to cover a receiver one on one. Get out of here with that nonsense.
-
They also extended several calgary drives taking penalties. Had em stopped deep late in the game but took roughing the passer, rose got dinged for PI on a play he didn't need to (though I thought both guys were guilty of interfering with each other) There was another nothing pass interference that kept the stamps on the field early too.
-
I hope for his sake collaros doesn't play because lapolice will get him killed. Guy does not protect his qbs at all.
