Statement game. SSK O line says "We suck"

Defender did everything he could to avoid helmet to helmet. Bad call. Concussion hysteria has refs overcompensating and media virtue signalling

With Durant flopping theyre getting awfully uppity again for a mediocre team

Riders need to be humiliated.

An Ottawa collapse isnt out of the question. QB trouble with only 4 games left

Justification for canning Chap was a player revolt over his too conservative offense. Defy anyone to show any difference now. Deke and dunk with the occasional push downfield

Form tackling is a dying skill. This accelerates it

Thanks dude. ARGOS just signed him

Tyms had every opportunity to be the man especially after Tolliver went down. Team was begging him to. Week one he gets blasted by Austin for missing block then later camera catches him laughing with Argo defender. Barely started after that. Work ethic dont match the skills me thinks

No one I could trust more with a rebuild after blowing up the previous rebuild than Kavis Reed. Whats Durants HC body count up to now?

Trevor Harris, owner of the worlds worst moustache, is out for a "matter of weeks". Good chance for Drew Tait to drive his stock up. If he even cares.

Absolutely no idea what HAM will show. Mood is reportedly light and upbeat. Whether that's a reflection of being back home after a bad road trip or the coaching changes who knows but its better than fighting. If I was WPG I would pound Harris very early and very often to test that interior. EDM ran over a very good HAM front seven last week. And there are changes there again this week.

To keep the tires pumped over there the usual suspects need to keep selling fantasies. During the offseason it was Durant is old and over rated. Young is gonna surprise you and prospect X is lighting it up in camp and, hey, don't forget Glenn's glory days' passing stats. Don't worry there's a plan in place etc. etc Now that that's all evapourated it will be Bridge's turn and after that ? Pretty soon they are going to have to admit that chopping Durant and the entire notion of giving Jones that amount of power as been a monumental mistake as two seasons and counting have been frittered away.

Local reporter did that. Austin said he wants guys who want to be a part of the team. It was in response to fans/media wondering why a starter on defense was let go. Sounds like the guy is a piece of work. Austin's response was quite reasonable and restrained in comparison

With injuries EDM on the road was ripe for the picking. Harris and OTT still couldnt get it done. That's telling.

Maher isnt missed here to say the least. I stand by my comments on Harris. If stats give one comfort then so be it but he wasnt a winner in TOR and won't be in OTT.

Guy was reportedly described as a cancer. Quit practice early on Wed. You can only be patient and understanding so much until it is YOU that is irresponsible for tolerating it.

At his best Harris is an average QB. This is what you get with average QBing. Competitive, close games but not enough to get you beyond that.

Love Reilly as a player but that look he has going I would describe with a word you're not allowed to use anymore.

Re: Bomber Comebacks. Recall the '94 game vs. HAM. Franchise was very much dying yet somehow fans thought by sneaking in the playoffs all the money problems would go away. I did too. HAM desperately needed wins to maintain fantasy. They had maybe 4 wins by this time. I was in my wee room in Ottawa going to school. Couldnt get game on TV. IIRC I needed hourly updates on the OTT radio station or maybe CBC radio. Thought we had won. Bro called to break bad news. IIRC Earl Winfield's late TD that would have won game was called back. Astonishing the change in technology since then. May as well have been the 1930s.

Riders - So what's your vision Chris ? Jones - Gonna chop all the popular veterans, it's my team not their's, save some moolah. Riders - But you're going to keep Darian right ? We need a QB to rebuild around, right ? Jones- Nah, he's gone, too many captains on this boat. Gonna make it look like he makes too much money and put 'em down in public. Fans'll think it's the right move. Riders - you're not serious about Vince Young, right, you have a real QB in mind right ? Jones- Hell, yeah, Franklin. Riders - But he isnt a free agent now. And when he is other teams will make a bid for him too, right ? Jones - throw a ton 'o money at 'em. Riders - Ok, but overpaying for Franklin if he even decides to come here plus free agents to re-sign and we will be in the same kind of trouble we were with Taman - the guy you said you had to clean up after. Jones - meh, you wanna win or what ? Riders - ok, so what in the mean time ? Jones - I dunno an experienced guy I guess. Lots o new guys , we're gonna need stability. Riders - Oh, so you're going to keep Durant ? Jones- Hell, no, with that ego ? gonna undermine my authority . Thinkin' 'bout Kevin Glenn. Get 'em cheap and he'll know his place. Riders. Um, ok, if that's your vision. Jones - yeah.

As an angry fan I'm well tempted to kick Reinbold when he's down but he was put in a tough position with injuries at the most hard to teach positions for rookies on defense and a job description he was thrown into by events beyond his control. Having said that changes had to be made and coaches are paid by their results. Reinbold file is now closed .

Jokes aside is there anyone over there that still believes there still exists some sort of vision for the team from Jones beyond "it's my team I'm gonna run it my way and no one's gonna tell me otherwise" ?

Trust Jones. There's a plan in place.

Kelly , like Jones, allowed his hubris and new sherriff in town shtick to blind him to the fact you simply dont screw around with the QB position no matter how it offends your ego and image cultivation . Like Jones/ Durant Kelly thought Glenn was disposable and no QB under his watch was ever as viable as Glenn could have been.
