Looks like all of the post secondary institutions will require mandatory vaccination for staff and students. Wonder if this means mandatory vaccination for staff at schools? For the record, I am in favour of staff at schools being vaccinated.

Odell Willis was cut? Wow, feel like this should have gotten more notice.

So what do you do with teachers who don't want to get vaccinated? Pretty sure you can't fire them. Do you say vaccinated or regular testing as Ontario is doing?

Well if one looks at the NCAA Football rankings you often see the defending champs at #1 or near the top. So you put Winnipeg there to start the season and they've done nothing to drop so you keep them there. Lawyered.

Well the pick in the endzone and Demski's fumble cost us a chance at minimum another 6 points. Offense needs some work but its not like it been awful and hey, the way our D is playing that Max Hall/Justin Goltz/Brian Brohm offense from 2013 could score enough points to win games.

A half marathon on a broken ankle is super impressive. I remember going to the ER because I had hurt an ankle (stretched out all the ligaments) and I could walk for an x-ray and said to the nurse, well I can walk on it so not broken right. Got told no, pain tolerance etc, worst bedside manner ever.

Evans on the 6 game hurts for the Riders, best receiver on that club.

Man sorry to see that with Meredith, had high hopes.

Interesting add. Wonder if that's a sign that Wilson and Rocquemore are out for a longer period of time or just a depth thing?

I believe the plan is to have clinics in schools as they do for other innoculations. Curious what people think about students having to be vaccinated to play on a school team? I like the idea myself.

I like that they made it turning 12 this year. Only a few months at the most but should help and hypothetically if they make vaccination a requirement for say sports, even those in grade 7 with late birthdays won't be left out.

This is an upgrade over Boyko at tackle.

Hey, Calgary is in two weeks, let's focus guys. Its all about Toronto and going 1-0 this week.

Fox Creek has been fine so far, respectful discussion. No issues with him. Steve is ok but a little too defensive of the Riders.

You know the message of the ad, Trudeau is calling an election in a pandemic for selfish reasons, he wants a majority to do whatever he wants is ok (might get you some votes, might not) but that ad is brutal. Its looks cheap productionwise and more importantly you're reinforcing a perception that many voters have that you're jerks.

Yeah but Migs was worse than Lyle so the Riders win that contest.

On the having one global on the roster, obviously we have the best global in Hansen but noticed a few teams using globals as punters, isn't that or a linebacker type that can play teams the way to go?

What is it with Rider fans coming to the message boards of other clubs and getting pissy when people say their team ain't all that and a bag of chips?

Oh exactly that. Just wish there was a stat to show just how good they are. Guess they'll have to settle for collecting Ws as a stat. Feel this group would be ok with it.

They're not getting the sacks but man does our DL get pressure/create havoc. Thought Nichols and Alford played well, Nichols on particular. Left some points on the field due to turnovers. Offense still a bit of a work in progress.

True how could I forget them not having the CFL's top tackle not named Stanley Bryant or Jemarcus Hardrick?

MBT isn't as mobile as Massoli and Hamilton has a better line, if we can get the same kind of pressure as last week, Jeffcoat, Jefferson and Kongbo could feast. Just one man's opinion.
