I have a bad feeling we see Lankford start on Friday and he does nothing.

5-17 versus the CFL West under Jones and 8 of their last 11 games are against the West. I think Saskatchewan is in trouble.

Pederson is a perfect example of the proverb: Even a fool is thought wise until he opens his mouth and removes all doubt.

I don't get the love some people have for Manziel. Under 200 yards passing both games, lots of overthrows and underthrows and most damming to me, they don't put up points. 1 TD in 2 games with him as QB. We got better offensive production with Goltz as QB.

My favourite comment about this on Riderfans was that this was a precursor to a trade. Pretty funny to see other posters there explaining that you can't trade a guy you just released.

Gives the Riders a pretty weak group of receivers: Roosevelt is really good but the rest is Holley/Williams-Lambert/Evans/Stanford which is pretty underwhelming.

Ottawa is a team that just gives ample evidence that they can find new and more frustrating ways to lose.

It was extremely loud last night at the end. Sad to hear that TSN muted the audio.

Three fun facts for this Saturday morning: 1. Winnipeg has 17 touchdowns scored by their national players (Harris-8, Demski-4, Wolitarski-4, Lafrance-1). 2. Winnipeg has allowed 170 points in 8 games, the Riders have allowed 175 in 7 games. That is right, Winnipeg has allowed 5 less points and played one more game than the much vaunted Riders D. 3. Demski is the second leading national receiver behind Sinopoli.

Defense played well, ST played well, Nichols did not.

I agree with SpeedFlex that some tickets need to be lowered. Endzones at IGF are an example.

Honest question, if they open it up, how does it attract people?

I'm just happy BC won. Exciting game in the second half.

There are still Pizza Huts? I honestly don't know anybody who goes to them.

Saying a writer is better than Pedersen is like saying a person is the shortest midget.

Wow on Spooner.

Why does cfl.ca have Nye write the weekly prediction article? Worst record of all the predictors, mediocre writer and a Rider homer.

Average attendance thus far is 26,380. This is right in line with many past seasons. As a point of comparison, we were 14-4 in 2001 with an exciting team. Average attendance was 27,033 and they blacked out home games back then. 2002 we were 12-6 and we averaged 27,559. Blackouts for home games that year too. 2003 we were 11-7 and average attendance was 27,225 and still home games blacked out. I don't think blacking out home games would make an impact on attendance.

I'd rather not go back to those days and you know what, average attendance wasn't better in the home games blacked out era.

Why would anybody want a 44 year old wr, who will be 45 later in the year, who hasn't played since 2011 in the Indoor Pro League and who did a TC in 2012?

I've read accounts and heard personal accounts from people taking the bus back then when it was open, that it could take 15 minutes for a bus to go from Eaton's (MTS Centre now) through the intersection. I call BS on Bellamy and his 10 seconds. Anybody looked into why this is such a pet project for Bellamy?

The club has done some good things I think to attract fans from having a no booze section in the end zone for those who don't drink/families, the half time bands, The Rum Hut, the standing room only section and flying in people from up north. Its finding more of these things.
