They've lacked discipline since that moment.

Riders Vs. Cofaj this Friday.

It would be very Riders to lose to Cody, fingers crossed we don’t. I can see it now “Not only did they make me feel unwanted, they also beat me on the field.”

Not too long ago, Condell was one of the most sought after OCs around. Football cycles are odd. 

Maas went from bad oc back to hc. Every thing  in the cfl is odd. I expect Condell will be back with some one next year. Maybe edm or ssk.

I lie how other teams right now seem to be getting the injury bug, as we about to crawl out of that hole we been in all yr.....nice timing for the crunch part of the season just beginning

[JuranBoldenRules]

Uh-oh for VAJ.  The knee brace was the beginning of the end for Fajardo.

[Super Duper Negatron]

Can't wait for the Brit Dort Knee Brace Report!

[Booch]

I'm sure we gonna hear about it all game....over and over

Wait, Fajardo had a knee brace?  Why didn't anyone say anything about that?

God. I’m sure VAJ won’t let everyone know about it either. 

If things go bad the limp will enter the chat.

We had a crazy amount of injuries to start with. A lot of missed time and challenges to over come. Now it’s mainly grant miller Hansen and Habba. Which would give our dl depth and teams a massive boost. Get healthy at the right time

I don't think it's Condell's fault. It's the level of QB'ing in Hamilton. When broke down BLM is the best you've got, your OC isn't going to look good. 

Steinhauer used Condell as a scapegoat to cover his ass.

Well, we still have 10 games left so we'll be dealing with more injuries to come ourselves.

Looks mobile enough but one sack is all it'd takr for him to be out.

VAJ will need to learn the amazing spin move from FAJ.

The Argos last bye week is next week - so enjoy that

Did they actually do this. Yikes. Thats bad juju. Almost as bad as the Ti-Cat fan drinking from the mini cup in the 4th quarter.

well that's the rumour that was floating around... not sure if it was ever confirmed

Confirmed by Simoni himself. However, they did that in every practice all year according to him.

which actually kind of makes it funnier... it's probably a fairly innocent ritual, end each practice with a victory formation because the goal is to end each game that way... but word of it spreads and it starts to sounds like in their minds, they've already secured victory... Bombers start to hear about it... it adds motivation... and next thing you know, a storm's a brewin...

Lalji will push her aside to make sure ANYTHING Lion related is coming from him.

We had a storm-a-brewin before that. That team was ferocious from the first snap of the WSF.

yup....self naming yourself something,,,1/3 into the season....with no back tested history to back it up....that is also dumb maneuver #1 in the Dumb Maneuver Handbook

CoFaj is getting protection like he could only dream about in Saskatchewan. That doesn't make him a good QB, but he is better than a basically rookie QB behind a swiss cheese OL. I give the O advantage to Montreal, I give the D advantage to Montreal, I give the homefield advantage to Montreal. Your team is going to have to play over it's head to win. I know the Ottawa win has a lot of Rider fans feeling optimistic....they shouldn't. They are not a very good ball club.

Hard not to argue with this....Mtl as well has better depth, and better coaches...If Sask is to win this...it will be a shortened game like they eeeked a win a few yrs agoi due to weather....Or they get the luckiest bounces and fluke out a win they didnt earn...If the FAJ actually just stays in his lane and not try to do too much....and doesnt try and be something he isn't...I can see them cruising to a win

This is too funny. Just this week at Riderfans some were very excited about his return as it looked to them like he had regained his all-star form.

[rebusrankin]

Sterns looked good in his one game and is likely a lot cheaper. They've also gotten good production from Bane and Jones.
