Sorry but this statement: "I totally accept why many victims dont come forward." does not work with this statement: "But ultimately, when someone says "Well I would have come forward but I thought it would go nowhere or I'd be harrassed" then the answer is, well, you cant really complain then." The second statement shows that you actually don't accept why many victims don't come forward.

Scheif's been absolutely snakebit though. He generates plenty of opportunities. Hopefully it starts clicking for him. He should have ten points already. No argument here. He'll get hot eventually.

Anytime someone hears a stat that discredits their obviously ridiculous opinion: "Well that's the most overrated stat of all time!"

Kane back tonight. Should help a lot. Moves Perreault back down to the third line and Thorburn to the 4th (thank god...). Jets only have one goal from their bottom-six thus far and the Scheifele line hasn't been all we've wanted it to be... hopefully Kane can stay healthy for awhile.

Willy cost us both of the games here against you guys with terrible game crushing interceptions. My biggest concern with Willy is the fact that he regressed as the season went on. And with a different QB we may not have even been in the game at all. Easy to point the finger when it comes down to one play but it's obviously not that simple.

You missed the point of Melissa's post. She is explaining why everyone "knew" but didn't say anything. And I personally think she did a great job of getting her point across. Also keep in mind that she is very active in this subject matter, having been a victim of domestic abuse herself. That is, if we are speaking about the same post. I am referring to her blog: http://www.nothinginwinnipeg.com/2014/10/do-you-know-about-jian/

We haven't had a QB play in as many games as Willy since 2008 Sometimes from injury but mostly because they were all too terrible to hold on to the job. And Willy was durable and good enough to hold on to the job. Do you get it? Can you follow? Should I draw a diagram?

We haven't had a QB throw for over 3500 yards since 2008. I feel like we should maybe stick with this one for awhile, even if he isn't as perfect as everyone seems to expect him to be.

How many complaints to mods have you had to make? Often when I disagree with someone's opinion and they have said something remotely offensive I will report it to have their post deleted.

To add to Mike's point about reporting, it is actually quite effective. I know Rich has responded quickly any time I have filed a legitimate report.

Every fan base has every type. Lose and you see more negativity, win and you see more positivity. Look at the Rider fans. Even one year removed from a Grey Cup, some fans want to fire everyone. It's just the way some people are. Telling people to quit being so positive or negative often has the opposite effect that you desire... pushing them further in that direction. Sometimes I think we could have better dialogue it we were anonymous... but that would take some of the fun out of it. God bless sports.

Right now, I like Smokin blue's ranking. But Willy has the potential to move way up. I would have ranked Reilly similarly last year and look at him now.

Yes, Bogo is a big part of the problem. A very big part. And I'm sure many of us have heard the rumours about what was really behind his extended "injury" last year.

I'll believe it when I see it. They will give him the money. If they have to cut Picard to afford it and start Clark or Watman at Centre, then so be it. Heenan will be a Rider.

Selinger holding a presser at 4 today. He has been taking a lot of heat since Judy got crushed... many in the NDP are scared that people hate Selinger and want him to step down. Could be interesting. But probably won't be.

He took two holding penalties but otherwise I thought he was solid. O'Shea said the penalties were a result of him playing RT when he's a natural LT. O'Shea says a lot of things. I don't believe 95% of them.

Yeah but it sure would be nice if he put up a brilliant performance every now and then. If you want to be a great team, sometimes the goalie has to make the stops that look impossible. I'm not saying every night, but occasionally it would be nice if he stole a game for us. Anyone remember what a shutout looks like? How Pavs never completely shuts the other team down? That would be nice for a change.

Calgary basically built their entire Canadian OL in one season. Brett Jones, Shane Bergman, and Brander Craighead drafted in 2013, with Dan Federkeil added through trade/free agency in the same offseason. It doesn't have to be as hard as we make it look.

Daniels was terrible in the last game, definitely not suited to playing right tackle

OL Danny Groulx

Everything is fine. This is the transition phase to the new core. It will be bumpy for the next year or two but should start paying dividends afterwards. The five year plan was a plan to make the playoffs in five years and stay there for the next decade. This is year 4. Just needs a little more time.

Awful news. Lucky only one person was killed. Could have been a lot worse.

I'm having trouble understanding why Bowman is any better than Judy. He is making even more outlandish promises and the municipal sales tax?!? No thanks...

Watching videos and practicing is all well and good, but there is no substitution for live fire experience, so lets get Goossen his. Waht's the worst that can happen- our QB gets sacked and we lose the game? Been there, done that. I totally agree.

Jace Daniels will be the best OL to take the field for us this year. Just watch. I've been okay with Devin Tyler. The wildcard today will be Goossen at right guard. He wasn't outstanding the first time around so I'm curious to see how he looks today.
