This is painful. TSN hurts my head and the refs have decided the Riders must win. 

Good luck to anyone who wants to sit through this one. 

I had a few edibles an hour ago,everything around the tv is more entertaining than the tv.

Just horrible Argo tackling.

Keep throwing against Campbell, he can throw a punch but can't cover anyone

That wasn’t even him… he’s the guy who got his helmet ripped off by Harris. 

Schaffer-Baker looks like a stud. Love that he’s Canadian too.

Agreed- looks like a solid receiver.

[SpeedFlex27]

Marshall should be suspended. The way he grabbed Collin's arm... He could have broke it when he threw him. Just a dirty & chippy defense.

My god what a sloppy game.

[bustamente]

At this point in the season after these two lack luster games tonight the only thing that will stop the Bombers this year are the Bombers themselves

[Booch]

Man Suitor shoukd just shut up...Canadian air force? They have one Canadian reciever who has shown good stuff...kids a beast...the rest have done squat...trying to make something out of nothing

[Noeller]

Nobody: Ssk has 1 wr in the top 18 and hes american. 

Suitor: iTs TeH CanAdIaN aIr FoRcE1111!!

Half of them are around woli/bailey line. Id take woli and peterman over all but 1. And id take woli over all of em. 

[Super Duper Negatron]

Thanks Toronto. That's all we needed was for Gainer to get his groove back.

Did Fajardo complete a pass for more than 5 yards down field?

He also called for him to be player of the week, with 90 yards and 1 TD.

Also, have the Riders really only played 1 road game?

[17to85]

Yeah only 1 road game for the riders. Ridiculous right?

 

Also stubler is an idiot. Soft run D and give up the short passes... the exact things you don't want to do against the riders.

The schedule maker this year should be fired. mtl gets 4 games against ott, ssk gets all home games to start. We dont play ott once, and get our first bye at the half way mark of the season. And now edm gonna play 3 games in 6 days. 

I dont feel bad for alberta, but players in edm arent to blame for their idiocracy. The league shouldve had a bye week at the end of the year and put any cancelled games into that week.  Some thing. 3 games in 6 days is not a solution.

Tell Glen Suitor to contact the league about it

I stopped watching at the half.. Did Suitor the investigative journalist, reveal what the league told him about the Andrew Harris incident?

Lenius is good for a couple drops a game so they have Fantuz covered.

[JCon]

Schedule was set to allow more time to pass for the Ontario teams. Originally, the Prov said no fans until September. The other provs were waiting to see. 

How many road games have we had?

He's revealing the outcome on tonight's broadcast. We'll get lots of references to the Riders and their amazing team tonight too. Not sure why we always have to listen to the Riders broadcasts on TSN. Suitor is a joke.

The ontario teams arent gonna pull that much any way. To balance the schedule around optimizing attendance in low attendance markets is like teaching nothing but grade 1 math to a grade 8 class because 1 or 2 kids are at that level.  They couldve also achieved the same by stacking the east teams byes in the first half of the season. Their issue their problem. 

I think they took the quick easy way out of the schedule making this year. Rather than making tough but fair calls and issuing a reasonable schedule they just took the cheap way. Comparing out strength of schedule to teams like the 2nd half of the season for montreal or the firs stretch for ssk you cant even value wins the same. 

If toronto and montreal both end up in a regular season tie, toronto is a much much better team. If montreal wins 2 more games than toronto, toronto still had a better year and is a better team.  

This week is the half way point of the year and its 3 away to 4 home.

Stop complaining about the schedule. It all evens out at the end. Now the Riders have to finish most of the games on the road for the next two months. I am not too sure how that really benefits them? 

[TrueBlue4ever]

The amount of angst over Glen Suitor, TSN, and the refs “wanting” the Riders to win in this many posts borders on the comical. Stuff like this makes the Rider fans who say we are “obsessed” look not too far off base. 

[Saidin]

Is that Suitor burner account?

[TrueBlue4ever]

Nope.

Exactly. If anything you want your opponents to finish the season on the road. That's a much more difficult schedule. I'm all for the riders playing 4 of their first 5 at home. The fact they lost one of those homes is fantastic.
