I do recall laughing and poking fun from Rider fans when Buck constantly got his noggin smacked. It's not just Rider QBs. It's a league wide problem.

You know what, Hamilton playing a lousy game BUT beating the Riders is like eating bad pizza. Its not good but I still enjoy it.

Yes. It was a dirty hit. Yes. it was intentional. No. I don't blame Collaros, he slid and protected himself. No. I don't think that any other QB would have just got back up. No. I don't think it was a 'glancing blow'. No. I don't think the CFL is doing enough to protect players in this kind of situation.

People are questioning why he's back. People where questioning why he came back last year after getting hurt. That doesn't excuse a clearly dirty hit. That could have been harker taking it and same results could have happened. Why Collaros was out there makes no difference to the outcome and should never play a role in the punishment. Anyone who argues that is either delusional or just being a homer.

Bombers May have the best media department in the league another gem from them.

Yes, let's blame Collaros for getting drilled in the head on a cheap shot. I'm pretty sure the fans don't set the roster.

Yeah, you can have it both ways. You can employ a QB. You can get bent out of shape for a shitty, greasy, dirty hit. Your argument sounds like you saying- you can't ***** about dirty hits if you trot out a player with an injury history. Yeah, you can. You can have it both ways.

"Against Rider QB's" seems a bit dramatic. Each team deals with cheap shots. When the Riders stop, then complain.

I am disgusted. gonna take some time off from all this. How can we have a serious professional football league and allow this to happen. Don't care that we lost, that happens. Head shot against Rider QB's is becoming a joke. Unacceptable, no excuse for this

Kinda like Rider fans circa 2007

Why does everyone keep saying, 'tonight'? We play tomorrow night.... Stop getting me worked up!

He's not only sorry, he's super sorry. That's pretty darned sorry if you ask me: https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/video/lawrence-on-collaros-hit-i-love-zach-to-death-it-wasn-t-intentional-i-m-super-sorry~1706488

I would like to see if its 25 yarder its immediate disqualification. On your second one of the season its ejection and suspension for a game. For each following one during the season suspension doubles.

Flipping fries? Is that a thing in Winnipeg?

So why is Lawrence still in the game? What does it take for the refs to grow the balls to call rough play?

Disagree. Even someone with no history of concussions can suffer a traumatic brain injury from one impact. Some are simply more vulnerable than others and it also depends on the vector of the impact on the skull.

1. It was a totally dirty hit and the CFL should have harsher punishments. 2. Its not a conspiracy against the Riders (remember Buck Pierce, Melonheads?) 3. Didn't they tweet something negative about QBs last season after Matty got hurt?

It's like they've never heard of Matt Dunigan, Buck Pierce, Ricky Ray etc. It's just Rider fans being Rider fans. It's just they way she goes boys.

I don't even consider safety a weak spot..the position itself as named basically is your safety net in the back-end..so a smart guy who doesn't try to be a world beater and just plays within the system will be fine...when's the last time in the CFL that a safety was the lynchpin of a super defense...the main reason for it??..ummm...never With our d-line..Bighill..and our 2 halfbacks..Sayles who I think was a gem unearthed and Alexander now in his 3rd year and as solid as HB come in the league, our safety just needs to survey the scene and come in and clean up the garbage, or add to the carnage the rest of this defense I believe will be laying on teams. I'm super excited to see what the Jeffs and Richardson and Nevis are going to create, if it's what i think our blitz packages are going to be unreal and even though Reilly is a tough SOB to bring down and sack I can see 5 sacks coming tonight

It is a slippery slope to blame players with recurring injury. It was a dirty play, and that is really the issue at hand. I know you are defending your guy, and I think you are a good fan in general. I'd say you're off on this.

I think people are just disgusted by the hit itself- I don't think people are disgusted by the dirty hit because it was ZC- people are disgusted by the dirty ******* hit. Insert CF or MR or BLM and I think you find the same level of disgust. To be fair- any player is potentially 1 hit away from disaster.

Yes, but the same ones who didnt notice foketi was MIA for what a week and a half, 2 weeks? Never know, look at kevin durant trying to play hurt. On this team you can only guess how some one is hurt, and how serious it is.

Only one scratch this year so it McGloster

I think that continuity and the fact we will be running full schemes on both sides of the ball will carry us through this first game...that O-line interior has me a bit nervous but at same time also a bit excited to see if the grooming of guys has paid off...

I can't stop laughing at Booch's "Powell will be worn down to a useless nub" comment....

Love it. Juran Bolden, #21 who was all "GTFO here". https://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/08/best-sports-gifs-kerwin-bell-spike-ball-crotch-valdosta-state-coach-colts-dolphins-florida-video “My competitiveness and the way I played the game got the best of me at that moment,” Bell remembered in an interview with For The Win this week. “I was just sort of playing around and talking trash. But it didn’t turn out quite the way I expected it.” Instead, Bell nailed himself in the groin and Bolden gave him a push, with the QB landing on another opponent. Bell’s only thought at that moment? “I was upset that I got a flag,” he said. “I actually got hit with the ball and by Juran. They got me for taunting or whatever it was for.” Back then, there was no YouTube or Twitter to make the clip instantaneously go viral. But there was TSN, which Bell said ran the highlight “night and day for a week.” “I realized that it was something that was going to last the rest of my life,” he said."

No, not really- Simoni Lawrence is human garbage. Play with some edge, just don't go full Hebert.

They actively cheered for it to happen.

I am ok with masoli being trash. Guy should never be mentioned among the top QBs.

Suitor right to the end holds out hope of a Rider victory but alas it will be a long and heartbreaking season for him.

But but but if Collaros had played the whole game...

Sam hurl getting dragged into the end zone - seen that move before

This half looks real bad on Hamilton's coaches. Looking quite disorganized.

So the Riders have only one pass play and 3 run plays.... is this Tecmo Bowl?

His leg is going to fall off by September

Lost in that first quarter story is that Masoli looks horrible

Get a pant stripe, Hamilton. You look like you're wearing yoga pants.

“Masoli has frequently found himself in first and long today”

The Riders disgust me but they don’t deserve that kind of **** and neither does Collaros. **** simoni Lawrence

Hated them since they jumped in our boat.

It isn't just Masoli, Steinhauer seems to have no discipline in his camp.

Hamilton looks lousy outside of Banks. Those SOBs need to pull this one out.

There goes Suitor ad libbing again. It’s uncanny how he knows what the players are thinking..

2000 pass receiving yards total in 2019

Result shouldn't matter. That should be an easy call for the ref as soon as the flag leaves the pocket....no accidental contact there, that was very purposeful.

Should be like in NCAA targeting and disqualification

glenn announes unretirement

If the league had any balls they would give the guy a 6 game suspension.... Riderfans.com seems to be overloaded and won't load... I'm guessing lots of angry folks in Riderville.

Hamilton making an early case for easiest team to hate.

bye bye collaros... but that's a real **** move by the Hamilton player. Toss him out.
