If that's what highly skilled football people with minimal bias say then so be it I'm off the mark truly but to my untrained technical football eye, even when he's fresh off a rotation, it still feels we are playing with 11 players on the field, getting washed out consistently, no push with the odd tackle/pressure made but no consistency of play we expect with his reps. I think that's a reasonable request. It feels like playing sports where you had to hide that one player in the starting roster with the goal of minimal negative impact. E.g., like shoving the worst player to right field in baseball but the good teams would still take advantage of it.

The injury to Chibrikov is quite unfortunate.

Fleury and Stanley healthy scratches I assume? Arniel busy with his blender I see.

I'm sorry, who's this Harris you talk of?

I'm a guy that doesn't take himself seriously but I take what I do for a profession seriously. This is a serious issue and the guy who threw the nacho's on the ice has to be dealt with and used as an example to help deter future behaviour like this, i.e., lifetime ban from the arena. This could give other low critical thinkers ideas where it aint nachos but something more dangerous. In this particular case making it funny and not serious comes with a risk which behind the scenes I'm hoping they aren't.

Ouch, that’s gentleman sweep to you.

Just make the damn playoffs. I assume nothing until that's confirmed.

I did say praise and/or blame is distributed in varying percentages across the players, not distributed equally but the point remains QB1 is the guy who runs the show but can't do it all by himself, needs to be surrounded by a good supporting cast and have coaches/management who field this supporting cast and put them in positions to be successful that play to the QB's strengths. So when autopsies of games are done, yes bad QB play is exposed but what also is exposed is bad supporting cast play and bad coaching/management decisions. The beauty of breaking down game tape that as fans usually don't see and have the skill to understand what transpired from plays being whistled in to whistled dead. I've attended these game tape reviews in minor football and things were flying over my head constantly and/or helped me understand what was really going on that I didn't catch in real time.

Interesting with some valid points but losing 3 straight GC games does not fall solely on the shoulders of ZC. Football is the ultimate team sport ergo win or lose as a team. Praise and/or blame is usually distributed in varying percentages across the players, coaches and management.

He gave us years of high quality affordable entertainment.

Like it or not it seemed he really led his life with no F’s to give.

In the case of Rider fans it's not that don't read Riderfan forums its that they can't read no matter how hard they try. 🙂

I don't think anyone is suggesting we lost because Ambles didn't play. I think its adding to the debate about dressing starters at 50%-70% versus dressing depth players at 100%.

What happens when Fleury is ready to go and no D go down in the meantime? Anything? It will be interesting to see what happens.

If anything, I thought he was TO bound. Guess not.

Yup, just because you're good at/knowledgeable about (insert topics) doesn't mean you're good at/knowledgeable about (insert topics). The lower one's self awareness is the blurrier this becomes.

I would add: in an uncomfortable way.

Can we have our money back DD you milked from us? Oh wait it was the BB's fault for not being family friendly enough for you, sorry I forgot.

Great finish. LA looking for a pi at the end but ref says nope.

Jets playing really well but one wicked shot 1-0 bad guys.

Seeing Miller's name on the projected lines would have been nice. Let's get Comrie a win please and thank you.

Oh stop it with your biased anti-Thomas rhetoric said one who is not paying attention to reality.

Congrats!

Back away slowly with a slight smile arms in the air turn around quick and run.

Your last sentence is intriguing. I’m thinking/guessing if Winnipeg didn’t sign him that might have prompted his retirement not giving any chance for other teams to pick him up as I’m assuming he wouldn’t want to play for any other team than the BB. However if JT just wanted to continue to play football and put his services on the market, who’s picking him up?
