Booch

i was gonna say I bet that happens...but then wanted to give the Riders (Jones) the benefit of the doubt of being a scuz bag organization...guess this proves it..Adding him does nothing for them as he has to stay on PR...and will be a free agent once the season comes about as do all PR guys..so whats the point other than their internal fear that they know they are the inferior team...typical..

I hope Augustine bets the bulk of the carries...we have seen and pretty much know what lafrance can do..Augustine is the big unknown other than a few nice pre-season game runs, and some nice burst in plays during TC

Pretty certain as shown by play as of late that Nichols is back in his usual head space, so meaningless reps with risk to injury will serve no purpose for him leading up to the play-off game...he won't be rusty or stale from a week off...

I heard the deciding factor to get him the nod was his TD strut lol

Can see Harris and Bryant being the west finalists as well

haha..I do miss that up here in Canada...as well as Crispy Creme and Sonic

as did I...Small world eh? lol

totally...especially if he knew he was not gonna get on game day roster other than for an injury...question is tho now can we bring him back if Nevis or Bryant get hurt this week?...or next?

that would be my guess...and he would be due a larger salary for next year as he is done his entry..and we have Bryant already for next year and play the same role and same skillset...so maybe frees more money in the kitty to sign Biggie...that or he was not happy and asked for it...or there was something else going on that Oshea didn't feel the media/public needed to know

Riders gave up 25 TD's via the pass..Winnipeg gave up 14...how does that make your DB's better? you have 21 picks to our 19 with a game in hand...and about 4 or 5 have been gift flukes from lineman (Hughes 1..Jefferson..2..Antigah 2) and yes any time a lineman gets a pick it's a lucky fluke or a bone head play...unless they drop off 15 yards into the secondary

pouring beer on a kid I was referring to...not the rider fans tossing beer...that is totally believable and not surprising hahaha...

Actually they have been using the guy we cut in TC..NaTAy Rogers at tackle...he's an import

but injuries or not..Calgary is the better...more complete team...I'd rather face them rolling into McMahon on a 6 game heater after we dispose of the Esks this weekend..also Glass Man Collaros if he truly did get concussed...may not be totally good to go...and if Jones is the guy I think he is will play him anyway and he is one good shot from being out again..or if anyting playing gunshy and happy feet...and if he gets knocked out early it will deflate them as a whole...

yeah I think those guys were more nicked than hurt...also..we scored pretty much the same amount of points against those playing on defense...and that was before Nichols was back to himself..healthy...and Harris was a bit knicked then as well...That CGY offence tho even with the new receivers can still be lethal, and may have Grant in there as well who has history with BLM...I'd rather face a shitty Rider offense in a semi final with good chance to get to West Final then the potential of facing a CGY offense that could catch fire and light us up and not even get a chance to get to the final...again

neither of them are totally healthy...and regardless...that shouldn't be an issue for a team at this point in the year with the second up in place of a starter...unless you have the Dinwiddie scenario where you have a rookie with no game reps whatsover as your QB...most other positions as long as you don't have too many aren't going to make or break you. A receiving crew of Mathews..Rogers..Ambles..Brescani..Durant with Jackson in the backfield with BLM concerns me a lot more than a crew of Lambert..Evans..Moore..Cannon and Bailey/Bagg/lavoie or whatever insignificant Canadian they use...(which tells you they ain't nothing much If I can't recall) and Marshall with Collaros or Bridge at QB...not to mentin the CGY O-line is much better..and more experienced.

yeah the beer thing is a total made up Rider fan story...tho the piss on a cheer leader isn't...or dumping manure in a players yard...total class out there, mind you what to expect when the only educated ones...or ones with ability to be educated leave the province at 18 years old...never to come back...and the guy crapping in a potted plant here that went viral...low and behold...from Saskatchewan lol

i guess the phone line was busy and the spotter couldn't get his call i right away...I still shake my head that Jones left him in....

tho..same can be said about Evans on Reilly..targeted high...then used all his force to scoop and slam him into the turf...yet it goes by as a no big deal....The difference is that Reilly isn't a weak/damaged QB and was able to absorb it...guaranteed if he wobbled around like Glass Man did they would have flagged it after the review...the league needs to have consistency in the calls, or some kind of spelled out verbiage on it...or just scrap it and let it play out as it has for 80 some years....you don't like the hits...get out of the game or don't watch...people don't seem to be too concerned with head shots in boxing and the blatant intent to literally knock a bugger the eff out with multiple head shots with no helmet on with knees...elbows in MMA....You choose your profession...you choose the long term results

I've been to Alabama....I'd be insulted as a resident of Alabama for that comment haha

yeah has to be called consistantly be the spotters..Lamar Durant got pulled the previous week and he showed no signs of anything at all from his hit...imagine of Collaros got drilled immediately again on the next play and what the effect could have been..or what if he got drilled and knocked the eff out...imagine the out cry then?? I as a coach would have pulled him out myself if that was me...Show's the kind of regard Jones has for his players tho really...p.o.s

I guess the riders didnt want to win the chance to host west final eh..and teams dont go out and not care or are disinterested. Maybe your pop Warner team did but I digress.. arguing with an unknowlegeable fan is pointless And the lack of prep you can keep believing if you want...insignificant at that point..we did nothing different on offence or defence then what we had been doing the previous 3-4 weeks...as the riders didnt either..just poor effort and bad coaching..nothing less and nothing more..one team wanted it more than the other..simple as that BC beat Edm..short week...OTT beat WPG...short week...HAM beat TO...short week...EDM beat CGY...short week...what happened there?...shouldn;t they all have had their asses handed to them?...

The fact that his head bounced off the ground.. he layed there for a moment.. then struggled to get up..had to take a knee...twice...doesnt tell you he got his bell rang and was a bit woozy than I dont know what you were looking at. At he chewed out the ref..so?...he has always been a whiney turd his whole career and even does it with the media being a petulant ****** when he doesnt like the convo..

Your too funny..your high school ball career..if that has served you well..he led with his shoulder if you watch the hit...tho he did aim high which is trying to be eliminated but have seen far worse than that.. even fat arsed Evan's on Reilly was worse..hit high..then tried to with all his fatness drive him through the turf.. And game 16 or 17 in a season.. against a team for 3rd time you hardly need any "prep"..if you dont know their tendancies and basic package by then you have a sad coaching staff and advanced scouting team...and show a article on the elation of the schedule?

The fact that a guy gets rattled like that from a hit that wasnt that viscous is evidence enough he should hang em up..or at the least not be your main starter. Even that one earlier this year that knocked him out for a few games was pretty minor of a shot...guys damaged goods

And coaches complained about it..many said they had to change terminology a lot. And like I said..11 wedge where we got stuffed..all u needed was a guy signal that gap presnap and plug it..which they converged to. 3 passing plays as well I grabbed easily and again..pre snap you signal it in..its just like when stealing signs pre headset era..we always had a guy dedicated to watching the play signaled...
