The bolded I don't think I can agree with. Most of the players making an impact for this team are guys that were here before except for the guys that were already in the league like Willy and Moore who Walters did bring in. But here's the big reason we are in a bit of a skid right now... we've run into some injuries and the depth is not there to get through them because we do not have the same quality of American rookies that we had in the past. Say what you will about Joe Mack but based on one year, he was way better at finding American players.

when comparing cities that is irrelevant. Just based on the sheer size difference the ecomonic footprint of Winnipeg is going to be bigger than Regina or any other Saskatchewan city.

and Tito Puente looks like **** too.

Yeah, go tell that to your buds. You guys always ***** and moan about the refs too.

da fuh is happening in this game? Argos pumping the Stamps? Who predicted that?

God I hope the Riders get their asses handed to them this weekend so we can get rid of this plague of rider ******* coming in here.

What is the point of even bringing up Reilly anyway? Has no bearing on the current management. All they did was make offers on every available qb in the order they became available. I don't like the implication they got lucky that Willy turned out the best and was the last one they pursued, I think the reason they pursued them all was because they wanted to take luck out of the equation and make sure they got a new qb here some way, some how. So in that regard it's more being proactive than being lucky.

My thought has always been that if you're going to put your opinion out there you had better be prepared for people to take objection to it.

never apologize for things you didn't do.

Let him talk, just go shut him down and win the game. By hook or by crook a win is all that matters. It's a really really important game, I would hope that the team doesn't need some talk from a BC player to be motivated for this one.

pretty sure they are going to be streamed on the team websites.

That was my first thought as well. Why the hell does Weicek care? Based on his reports he doesn't pay attention to practise anyway so what't he big deal? Oh yeah needless **** disturbing that's what.

Hey look everyone! TBURGESS is posting the same crap in these threads too!

Agreed. Our complaining is what raised his game. and by our complaining you of course mean that his game picked up shortly after Mike O'Shea said in a half time interview that the team was playing too soft right? Methinks MOS told him to grow a set and run like a man and he listened.

This is why I told people to not put stock into guys having a bad year last year. The coaches were THAT bad.

It's never been about rushing totals though, it's been about how he has ran the ball. Why do people never want to read the actual arguments people are making?

We've got two starters and the first guy off the bench hurt. How much name recognition do you expect there to be that far down the lineup? I am aware of the reasons, it's still gross looking and cause for concern.

I honestly don't get the Grigsby hate. He's solid for just starting out. The Grigsby "hate" was that early in the year he was the most tentative running back you've ever seen. Not many people like running backs who play soft, but as Mike so aptly put it a bit further up this thread he's getting a lot better lately and playing more like he needed to. If he keeps that up no one is going to complain because that's all we wanted. Run harder, commit to hitting a hole and pick up positive yards rather than getting stopped for losses.

disgusting depth at defensive line. and for fucks sake get sears on the roster!

Learn to embrace and love the hate. It is there because the Riders are a winning team. Only because winning breeds bandwagon fans who are annoying as all hell... Truth be told I could actually find a lot to like on that team if the fan base weren't filled with such insufferable *****.

yeah it was clearly a play where if you get the ball over the top there's a chance for the receiver to make the play. I just didn't like the thought of actually trying to score the TD in one play there. There was time, they coulda worked it down a bit more methodically.

Like this a lot. Good versatile receiver. good speed, good hands, just produces. Maybe he's not a real #1 guy but he's a pretty ******* solid #2 option at least.

yeah well you can't judge a running back when the most he gets are 4 carries in a game. Thankfully the coaching staff gets to watch him every day in practise, so they don't have to flip a coin to make personnel decisions. Good call... I doubt this decision was one made lightly seeing as how thin we are at RB.. It does seem like they are not very willing to make a move unless it's injury related though. This group of management and coaches has done a lot of good things thusfar but there are still areas that I think they need to prove more in.

He's gay? NTTAWWT
