I'm completely shocked so far by what has occured. Really hurts us as the Riders can get to 4-4 and if they do well against BC and more importantly us, playoffs become a dogfight.

If the Riders hang on and then win next week, they're right back into the race. I want the world to go back to the way its meant to be with the Riders in last.

Riders look better thus far, hope it changes soon enough.

Lankford has 17 games as a Blue Bomber with 22 catches for 278 yards and 3 tds. For comparison's sake, JFG was better last year and Kolhert has 4 seasons that are better.

Here's to 1-15 after tonight for Collaros.

MOS and co will trot out Lankford and meanwhile Edmonton's depth receivers are Mitchell and Hazelton and Calgary has Michel and Begelton. If only a reporter would ask Walters a tough question such as "Why are we five years into your regime and you still can't find american receivers?"

We trot out Lankford and Edmonton's "depth" is Mitchell. McManus and Walters should be ashamed.

How they keep coming back to Lankford is baffling. 5 years of this regime and they've brought in 1 legit receiver-Thompkins. In that same time, Edmonton scouted and brought in Walker/Williams/Zylstra and Calgary-Jorden/Daniels/Michel. How does Danny Mac and Co keep their jobs.

So Danny Barrett, heck of a nice guy, spent 3 years as a QB coach and then took over a really bad Saskatchewan Roughriders club. 2 pretty bad seasons to start things off. Then 5 years in the playoffs with essentially a .500 record and he's let go. Kent Austin comes in and gets them over the top. MOS was a ST coach, takes over Winnipeg when we were really, really bad. 2 losing seasons to start. Then two years in the playoffs losing in round 1. Year 5 seems to be trending towards a .500 mark and a 1 and done in the playoffs. So is MOS our Barrett?

Ottawa twice, same team that is 6-3 and kicked our ass tonight.

We got our collective asses handed to us tonight.

Harris has something like 150 touches thus far with one lost fumble. Lankford has 4 last game with a fumble. Wee difference.

Good point. Would O Day be the guy they'd hire and if you're Lapo do you want to go to that team and that QB situation?

Can the Riders afford to fire Jones with the new cap coming in for coaches and front office people? Isn't Jones owed $700,000 for next year? That would count would it not and you'd then still have to pay for the new guys.

So they make the Riders honour the contract but allow them to six game it? I suspect this might not be the case.

So the Bagg thing, are the Riders on the hook for him entire salary? Isn't that another $100,000?

Any predictions on the rest of the year for the Riders, Ripper? As for this week, I don't see you beating Calgary.

No catches and a crucial fumble after his 60 yard return.

Really bad news about Dressler, we'll miss him.

I bet they have Lankford returning kicks Friday.

Apparenty Rob Bagg allows them to start to national wr-Stanford and Bagg. Plus Bagg will take coverage away from Roosevelt. I'm sorry but does a wr group of Roosevelt/Holly/Williams Lambert/Evans/Stanford and Bagg scare anybody? I'd argue its the worst group in the CFL.

It was. People should read some of the things PET said then and that was in the late 60s, early70s, not the late 1800s.

Nobody is taking down any statues or taking his name off building and PET was responsible for the 69 White Paper and said some racist things during that debate. For the record, I don't like the idea of taking down statues. To me discuss the good and the bad and let people make their own decisions.
