  1. As much as I like Nichols I've noticed he's had a lot of trouble in recent games when teams are only rushing three and dropping back 9. Saskatechewan exploited that yesterday and he looked very average. I'm hoping we'll be able to make the proper adjustments on offense next week because the three yard dump play on second and long won't cut it.
  2. I fully hope/expect us to be 9-2 after this stretch. I think the riders are a good team but I think we're a great team waiting for a swep.
  3. Should be a great game. Wouldn't be surprised if Riders took this one in a squeaker and then we won the next weekend, but obviously confident we can compete and hopefully get the sweep.
  4. I think there's a fine line that gets crossed here too often. As passionate football fans obviously a little good natured ribbing on the Riders is fine. We're rivals, and I expected their fan base to do the same. As annoying as I find some of their fans I would never paint every single fan with that same brush. I've partied with many rider fans after the banjo bowl and most of them are great supportive fans who love football. I think it's important to create a mutual respect between fanbases because at the end of the day both fan bases have their bad apples but most fans are good fans.. Like I said good natured teasing back and forth is fine but personal attacks on people who disagree with your opinion isn't ok. Someone like Ripper who is a regular on this forum is a good example. I may not always agree with his opinion and I myself might give him a tough time over it but I respect that right that he has an opinion and atleast backs up his arguments.
  5. Good luck expecting Rider Fans to think with logic. That's expecting too much.
  6. Look at Adams stats compared to receivers. He's been of the very best in the league this season.
  7. Defense came to play that day. They're were awesome. For the most time they completely shut down Joseph who was the MOP of the season. Glenn was at his best in 07. It would have been a blow out for the blue bombers if he was there.
  8. Once the weather gets colder, and the stakes get higher Glenn will do is disappearing act. No doubt in my mind. Good for him though for playing at a high level and giving Saskatechewan a chance.
  9. When we have the ball longer, and run more plays its bound to happen our o-line has been great this season.
  10. Wow Ti-Cats organization with zero integrity.
  11. Canadian Football League[edit] The Canadian Football League board of governors approved the use of instant replay starting in 2006.[6] The CFL system appears to be modeled largely on the NFL's, although some differences have been incorporated to accommodate differences between the two codes:
  12. I'm surprised more teams dont go for two. The ball is at the two yard line.. That opens the playbook and should be almost a gimmie. Heck even if you're 50 percent its worth it.. I understand with a guy like Medlock whos automatic on the convert that we stick with the conventional one point but a team thats struggling with the point after kick might as well go for two every time.
  13. You mean as a season ticket holder right?
  14. Our defense has quietly allowed the second most points in the league.. right behind the winless Hamilton Tiger Cats.
  15. No it's called continuity. We were 5-4 heading into Labour Day last season. This year were 7-2. I'd call that improvement..
  16. I've never seen a team that's lost so much in the past three years have such an ignorant, loud fan base. Congrats to getting to getting to 500. That must be quite the accomishnement after being the laughing stock of the CFL for the last couple of years. There's absolutely zero fear of us coming into Saskatchewan next week. Heck we've owned you guys in your own barn lately so stop yapping. Still last in the West, and not going anywhere with a 40 year old Kevin Glenn. I just hope you're man enough to come around here in two weeks when you're 4-6.
  17. Congrats on being 500. Riders they beat up on two teams that couldn't stop giving the ball away. Winnipeg won't make the same mistake. Anyways should be an interesting matchup. They're not going to be an easy W on the schedule.
  18. Your safety will always look bad on tv because his primary job is reacting to where the play is going. I think he is having a little bit of a sophomore jinx. He has good reactions to plays, and obviously he can lay the shoulder down with the best of them. His presence in the middle of the field can't be underestimated. I do think he looks a little bigger this season and his speed might be just the tiniest bit compromised, obviously the problem with big hitters is that they don't always wrap up and sometimes the ball carrier gets away but overall I still think he's one of the best safeties in the league.
  19. I had a selfish moment last night watching the game seeing Nichols throw the Hail Mary on the last play before half and getting an INT. Another 3 TD's and some GREAT decision making from Nichols. We have a confident offense where Nichols will not force the ball. He gives his receivers the chance to make plays.
  20. He's a MLB. I'm not making excuses for his play but if you expect INT's and sacks then you're going to be disappointed...
  21. We had the first week bye, playing on the road in the opening of your new stadium and we still won. 7-2 vs 3-4 surely you can count?
  22. No ones better in finding the soft spot in a zone defense then Nik Lewis. Gotta give credit when credit is due.
  23. I've never seen a more obnoxious fan base of a team that's 3-4. You would think they were 9-0 the way Rider fans talk about their team.
  24. I think Edmonton at home takes this. They didn't play very well last week against us. They'll be better.
  25. Exactly, How many close games has Calgary won against us/the rest of the league over the years? Montreal has a lot of vets they didn't play well last week and came out and brought their A game at home. The good teams win the close games.
