I think the old spot..downtown..St B....would have been poor places...where it is I think is the best spot, and it's the only area of the city where the city can expand with proper infrastructure to sustain/service it...Working in the Civil Engineering/Land Development industry that is exactly where I and many I know would have built it based on forecasting..economic growth and population density, especially with majority of the population that will be new..younger families as well as to connect with the university aged crowd etc..etc... Revisit the issue in 5 to 8 years and see the only complaints will just be coming from the same people who feel they have been slighted from having their convenience now become a bit less convenient

I think too you may see more teams go the route of the Atlanta Falcons and a couple of other places and introduce the fan friendly pricing for concessions at their stadiums...an investment in the fan experience like that will pay big dividends and put more money in a teams pocket than is currently happening across N. America

Thing with football on any day a piss poor offense can own a good defense...and a poor defense can own a great offense...but it has to be looked at as a over all picture if you ask me. Some teams schemes match up better against other teams and vice versa and while still maybe give up more yards and points than another teams defense still win. 7 games in is a good marker of where you are at as a unit..and generally defenses from my experience trend upward whereas a lot of times offences may peak and trend down as teams learn their pro's and cons Currently as it stands We rank 2nd in points given up/per game..2nd in takeaways..3rd in TD's given up..1ST in sacks(tied)..3rd in net offence allowed..2nd in Yds against/per play..first in penalty yards against (one of most important if you ask me) and 2nd in points off of turnovers which I include in a defensive teams stats... So pretty good indicator of where this defense sits against other teams in the league and for the most part the couple teams hovering around us in the stats categories have played generally the same teams or weaker eastern teams for the most part so to say our results should be tempered because of opponent, then the Cgy's And Sask's of the league should have their defensive stats tempered as well because for the most part, both have played a schedule to date with the same weak offenses,

you can only play the teams on the schedule as you go...if the defense had continued the trend they were on, then yeah it would be a concern, but they seemed to tighten up and change their scheme....so I would dare to say they are much improved from the start of the season...we shall see

Maybe this is John Murphy's big chance to show he has the onions to do a G.M job...hahahahahaha....or finally have it exposed he has been riding on coat tails his whole career and is waaaayyyy overated

Not totally true...we sit 3rd in rushing yards against...and 4th in passing yards against....so basically in the top 3rd of the league in regards to yardage given up, and 2nd best in points given up....so the defense has actually improved and progressed as the season has gone on. I think something was said to Richie Hall...or perhaps "suggested" in terms of scheme and how personnel are deployed and has been reflected in the results the defense has put up the last 4 games..

we have 22 as well actually

yeah but if they win Sask is in last place in West lol

he's one good smack away from being out longterm again..

Interesting to that they claim their defense is soooooo exceptional and ours sucks...yet we have given up less points..28 less than them and after they have played same amount of games..

I said in a different post somewhere that's the reason I think they kept him off of the offence..as they know it sucks and he wont get any balls..and cause of it..pull stuff like this and fragment the team..looks like it's happening after 1 game back on offense lol

I think edmonton's crappy defense made Sask offense look better than it is/was Sask defense played well and is pretty good...but Reilly seemed more off than it being they made him look off...both teams tho have major discipline issues

Yeah his deep balls are just hope and prayers..and that last drive of game showed he doesnt have the kahonies to pull a game out..was pathetic Now wouldn't it be something if BC pulls out a win and the ol riders roll into their bye week in the west basement..

i would bet there are more fans living south of the Polo location than around it or north of it to be honest...it's just one areas convenience has now become a convenience to the fans for 50 yrs who had an inconvenient Polo location...whining for the sake of whining

hhahaahha

yeah was a good call they chimed in

halfway through first quarter and Rider faithful already whining that they are etting a screw over from the refs...paythetic fan base...poor teams make dumbe errors and take penalties...they need to learn to accept that

yes they have Biggie playing the MLB position they way you need to in order to be successful..thus allowing JSK and Moe/Fenner to play accordingly to be successful..which ripples into the secondary...and further confirrms this 'gap filling' role of Hurl's was just a B.S smokescreen to not throw him under the bus for the team's oversight in not adequately filling that position and adjusting the ratio accordingly

Not one to use excuses..or ya buts..but...realistically if we started the season with Nichols healthy I have no problems saying this team would be 6-1 at worst..possibly even 7-0... We are a better team than our 4-3 record indicates and believe me...teams know it

Yeah..but he was a player on the roster tho..now they need to replace the roster spot...and have no real useful canadians in reserve..

But they need to field another Canadian on the roster to replace him..of which they have little of at any position that would provide any use

Not Sayles hasnt impressed..Fenner is just better all around and wont hurt u with a rookie mistake..Sayles slides into the DI role...cut and dried

Fanbase that is...

Slide him into short side HB

They already discussing Franklin for bridge trade lol
