Things went south after jullians illegal block....all down hill after that

Not even close..what a terrible comparisonTerrible hyped up Canadian players that didn't cut it as starters on their former teams and we thought we could change that? It's a very apt comparison actually. No... Its not really. No one had tremendous hope for Cauchy.. We do for Hurl. We also didn't write off the kid after one game.. Against his former team.... And former coach... Smh. That's revisionist history. Lots of folks around here had huge expectations for Cauchy and didn't want to hear that he wasn't a good pick up. Yup, I hand a lot of hope for Cauchy. Thought he would grow into his position here and hold it down. But boy was I wrong, turns out its hard to play football when you don't like to tackle.

Yup if the guy could stay healthy on a consistent basis, I could see him being one of the top defensive players in the league.

yes!

Anyone have a link to youtube or anything for the game?

Yup, I do not want to help out any team at the moment. Unless we HAVE to, keep our qbs with us. Let the other teams suffer!!!

Yeah it was during the big run. He got tackled hard and landed right on the shoulder. He lifted his arms and by the time he got to the bench you could tell he was in pain. I would guess separated shoulder.

I believe they said he would be out "a while"....same with Emery and Mcdougal

That offside by Bastien was brutal. He basically touched the Dlineman.

I would think the better person wouldn't need to make any statement at all in an effort to prove that they are a better person,but whatever. But again, back to my original question in this segue: why does the trash talk get to people? It's only annoying if you let it be annoying, otherwise it's just empty noise. And all fan bases have segments who do it, so what makes the 'Rider priders intolerable where other fan bases are not. I don't need a recap of their behaviour, just trying to piece together why it seems so effective in pushing emotional buttons here. Why does the fact that rider fans bother, pretty well every other cfl fan, bother YOU so much. You keep saying to brush it off and let it be etc etc..but you're the one who keeps bringing it up. Listen, people don't like them. You don't need to understand why. Let it go man.

Can anyone explain why that kickoff wasn't a safety?

I was surprised they didn't even mention @ it during the panel. Like is that a safety or not?

Ok can someone explain why that kickoff taken into the endzone wasn't a safety? Demski caught it on the one, stepped into the end zone, then went out the side...? Shouldn't that mean 2 points and bomber ball???

I thought our blitz timing was off. The lanes to the qb were there. We just weren't hitting them early enough, by the time our lb got to the qb the ball was gone. Hopeful it's just a timing/execution issue. Those are fixable. Man I love cotton.

He has looked impressive!

Google, "stream tsn1 for free". That's how I've found the last few sites when needed. Though i googled Stream tsn2 for free.....soooo who knows.

2-0 so far. Though I didn't think Calgary was going to pull it off at the end. Much closer game then I expected actually, thought Calgary would pull ahead by a few scores. Hamiltons DL looked pretty solid. So we couldn't fit Sears on the roster last year, and ted laurent on D...... Fuller is a big target and a play maker. Wonder if he stays healthy this year?

While I don't really care that it's been built where it is...I was truly hoping they would have just replaced it where the old one was. Only because I live 5 minutes away and never had to pay for parking and could drink all I wanted and not worry about getting a ride.

Me too. Also interesting that it seems that Unamba wasn't even really a consideration to fill-in at safety. Why the hell do we keep this guy around and cut good players? I've asked myself that at the end of each of the last two training camps. Anybody with half a brain and a willingness to work hard can play well on special teams. Should always take the guy who can play D and train him to chase kicks over the guy who is scary to put on the field on D who can chase kicks. I really liked Unamba at sam last year when he filled in. Thought he could push for a starters spot this year. I guess maybe cause he's so versatile?

PM me your picks for the other 3 games if you want. Done and done!

Thank you sir

How does it work with only starting 8 canadians as some have said. I see ten when you include FB and Kicker.

Yeah that confused me too. Same with Smith (assuming it's TAJ)

Damn it, I forgot to put my picks in on this site. I had picked ottawa!!! Damn you internets
