Russ Michna had the best arm. He just didn't get enough opportunity to release the beast

Looks like I've jinxed myself on fajardo. Still a half to go. Fajardo has made a couple nice throws but hasn't run one in

Hahaha well see! It's all about those turnovers

Yuuuuup. Probably a better week to pick Gable than last week. I was relying on Montreal being terrible. He caught a very tough pass for his TD. Against BC's run D it's a good pick. In the future though they will be passing the ball a tonne. We'll see what happens! For me it's the likelihood of Fajardo being the only one capable of getting in the endzone for the Riders (it's ironic though because he's a terrible passer), and just having fun with this little lock of the week game.

I see everyone's getting on the Gable train I started last week. Anybody joining me on the Fajardo bus?

I have Ottawa. Both teams are fairly similar as far as strengths/weaknesses. But Ottawa sadly has better quarterbacking. I could see it going the other way. Calgary's defense wet the bed. I don't see that happening with Sask.

Arash Madani is an idiot and his arguments absolutely suck. But it really does come down to the CBA and the responsibilities of the CFLPA. Is anyone surprised he filed for an appeal? That's just how it works. As much as I like Ambrosie's passion for the league, he tends to treat it as his own personal plaything at times. That to me is a little concerning. His statement sounds childish. I like the thought that the appeal process could add games, but it's all about precedent. So it's kind of a catch 22. Precedent can't be made if the process doesn't allow for it. Guess both sides dropped the ball in the CBA talk. Id imagine nothing will change until the next CBA happens

I'm going to take a chance FAJARDO

There has to be some weight on previous seasons. I'd rank them: Winnipeg Hamilton - Offense was not clicking. Giving them the benefit of the doubt Calgary - very inconsistent but it's Calgary, cmon Edmonton - offense looks great. Took the foot off the gas maybe BC - Mike Reilly. Team built around a lot of stars Ottawa - defense is great but I think they over achieved on offense near the end Sask - defense is great but their offense is in trouble Montreal - Vernon adams is more of a point guard than a qb. Until they prove the end wasn't a fluke I can't rank them higher

Based on expectations : More than anything the oline really impressed me. And we're missing Neufeld? Yeesh. Bunch of our new guys did not look new at all. I guess because as people have been saying... They're not really new. Props to Speller, Couture, and Gray. The new bash brothers

It comes highly recommended by Mike Bonapatities

I thought he was going to kick the guy out of the drivers seat and drive himself to the locker room

There were definitely a couple phantom calls against us that game that extended their drives. That was annoying. 3 Stars 1. The beef 2. The chicken 3. The bacon Happy Hotdog: the hotdog OUTRAGEOUS GAME

Did anyone notice the Outrageous Burger? That thing was outrageous!

Really excited to see our D line. Do you think BC will have an extra protection package prepared?

Vernon Adams looks like he'd be a good point guard in basketball but some of his longer football throws looked awful.

Slid way too late. Defender didn't have a chance to let up and he still kind of did

Yeah it might take a little bit of time to gel. Thankfully we're playing a team that's going to have the same problems.

Ah. They need to update the cfl website. Thanks. That makes it really easy.

McGloster and Temple the likely scratches if the global player needs to be on the active roster. Nelson listed as KR PR so he's *probably* not scratched. Also, with Whitehead and Lawler starting, you may want a little more support at the position.

Whitehead listed as starter but I'd imagine Nelson will get some reps. Would mean the scratches are McGloster and Temple

Wow so the Riders lost and may have lost 3 starters in the process. Just about the worst way you could start a season

As much as he has potential he's not going to be able to help them right now. Maybe trade or starting more americans

Bennett already on his way

I bet he's better than Fajardo lol
