So does this mean that all revenue generated that remains after football operation costs goes into the team's bank account/rainy day fund??

Thats what a lot of old school coaches claim...tho more suits a real rookie who is in his first year of ball...as opposed to a 4 year NFL vet who has logged significant playing time..

Don't base an import position's production based on the previous player. Throw what Bowman did out the window. A Tompkins or Washington...heck even a Lankford over the long haul will be far more productive and garner far more attention from a defense than a Lafrance..Augustine (both of whom aren't receiver options)..Peterman or a Simonese...tho a Simonese on the rail would be the best route to take if you went 3 Canucks. Playing 2 rookie Canadians with Demski makes us weaker....and thats not even debatable...also...you just lost your depth if one gets hurt...and as the old adage goes...every rookie you start you are going to lose a game...so with Sayles..Cooper..Streveler already having started thats our 3 losses..we don't need the extra couple in a tough west division Peterman and Simonese ...and really Lafrance havn't proven jack yet so not sure why that would be considered an upgrade. And honestly I think Augustine is a better back than Lafrance...but thats just my opinion

starting 3 Canadian receivers serves no point unless we needed to get another American on defense...and we don't need to be doing that. All it does is make us a weaker offence

yeah the window is a good thing...you will see a lot of better talent come through, worked before...will work again. Helps keep continuity with a teams roster and fan recognition too...

Why...

doubt that...and really no reason for it

I'd assume Washington gets first crack at it...He looked good in the slot and coming across the middle and up through the flats. I bet in Bowmans first game he gets between 6-8 catches for 100+ yards too If they insert Lankford...I will puke and if I was one of Tompkins and Washington I would actually ask for my release cause of that...we know what Lankford is as a receiver and it's bottom teir

he came in for short yardage a couple times

Yeah that part is baffling I will admit..

A lot of the targets Bowman has received this year have been uncatchable balls...and he was open. He has had one bad drop..so saying he has lost it is a bit premature..the reason the other guys are getting lots of balls is because Bowman is drawing coverage away from them..mainly demski being a prime beneficiary of it..teams know if u leave Bowman unattended he will burn you.. badly.. Demski doesnt have that pedigree yet..hence he is able to be targeted more cleanly

Alexander back made a huge difference..good coverage and he b.c reacts to the play and closes fast and usually always makes the tackle..the one play on the Wilder dump pass he came clear across field to make stop. Love that Hardrick..pure for out there and just doesnt let guys he is blocking get away...the line feeds off him. Harris is just plain good an idea the offence every game should focus on him like this and ride that scheme till teams show they can stop it..and that will just open up everyone else.. also looks like Adam's and dressler are awakening. Leggett too is back to his self..I hope when Fenner is back he goes to halfback or those 2 rotate and with Alexander added to the mix again our secondary automatically looks much improved. 3 stars tho in my mind Oline..haven't seen sustained line dominance like this in quite some time..best in league bar none and a group of mean SOB's Harris...nuff said and product of the first stars Dline..shut down wilder and never let Franklin get set

I'm going to next one then..

Lose the stupid camera angle

That Td should seal the win lol

PRE allegations tho...seems the Riders tend to sign these guys when it is well known they have quite significant off-field transgressions and issues...there's a difference

my only issue is I wish he just sticks to what's working until it doesn't anymore and then deviate from the gameplan/script. He tends to have a gamelan in mind and too many times he starts to use his other "ideas" he had going in even tho the original stuff is working..and we stall and 9 times out of ten fall behind. By that time he does go back to whats working, but usually by then it's too late, or we are attempting another improbable comeback. Don't try to look like the evil genius..until you need to. That's his major fault, along with his reluctance to stretch a field and make a defense work/think. The safe ball control works to a point, but when it's all you do with little to no threat of having DB's or linebackers play off, or soften their zones...well we've seen the results. As a defensive player...we always were licking our chops knowing that if basically if we keep everything in front of us we will have a hayday flying downhill and basically wearing an offence down...and yes...you can wear one down...no receiver likes to be pounded play after play when everything is kept within the hashes and only 15 yards past the LOS...especially when we employ a cast of smurfs, and lean lanky guys. That's why I think having a game sitting a Dressler (for perseverance) and rostering Washington and a Tompkins if we could to create a physical corp who can and will stretch a field and make life more difficult for defenses and wear them down. A game of trying to deal with a tackling bigger bodied guys like along with Harris as opposed to dealing with Dressler's would do wonders out there

yeah I think the notion that the Rider's receivers are this elite uniot has come and passed..Roosevalt is good for sure...but yu have probably the weakest Canadian group in the league, and Evans, Holley, and whomever else you toss out there are no better than anything else in the league for the most part, and truthfully not as good as most teams #1 and #2 guys....and with no legit QB to throw the ball to them...well you have the makings of the leagues worst offence

yeah but you cant win many football games scoring only 1 touchdown a game....it will catch up to you pretty fast

It's interesting we use Brian Bennet on the punt coverage team..was the one outside guy on coverage. Not certain if this was first time he was used thee this year, or just first time I noticed. Myself I would have him as an up back, and the threat for a fake either with running the ball, or taking it and passing...

Lost due to the stupid play calls on the 3rd down gambles..despite playing a crap game....no worries here if you ask me

christ..Xavier Fulton is better than most of what they have there too at the moment

Yeah looking back about the boasts of the QB depth they had, and how they could flip one to us for a laughable about of talent/picks in return is comical. Not to mention all the claims about the depth across the board at all positions...what a delusional fan base

And that would be glorious to watch to be honest lol

good teams beat the also rans...The Bombers whalloped the also rans...I'd say that the Bombers, especially now with their QB back have to be considered one of the top 2-3 teams league wide...a soild win this weekend should solidify that notion
