You think that Jones sewered his teams chances in a very winnable game 1 of the season just to give the Bombers problems in week 2? You don't think his massive ego wanted to prove to everyone how brilliant he was to throw Durant aside?

And how did Jake Allen do this year? So well that they had to send him home for a while. Not like he kicked the door down and forced Elliott out, the Blues got tired of not being able to count on Elliott and hoped that Allen was the guy. The Jets woulda been better off continuing to support their young goalies, play solid in front of them and let them grow into the role. I can already see though that the fans are going to eat their own with any goalie who isn't Carey Price, and even he likely would take more **** than deserved.

No they don't, they say that he can have an inflated save percentage when he's got a great defensive team like St.Louis in front of him. Seriously have you watched the guy play? Cause the numbers are inflated plain and simple. I laughed when the Flames brought him in cause I knew their season would be **** with him, only thing that prevented them from being a lottery team was when Johnson came in and went on one of his unsustainable hot streaks. You guys ran Pavelec out of town and the difference between Pavelec and Elliott is mostly that Pavelec doesn't have the extreme highs and lows that Elliott does.

Yeah but Elliott has been unreliable everywhere he's been. Ottawa, St. Louis, Calgary. The numbers for that guy lie. You can't count on him and it's why everyone moves on with him. Expecting anything different in Winnipeg is just setting yourself up for disappointment. Elliott needs a strong D in front of him like the Blues had, and even they got sick of his ****.

Ridiculous reffing, ridiculous uniforms, makes sense to me.

Why not both? But seriously Jets, stay the **** away from Elliott, guy is useless and was propped up by a great D in St. Louis. Calgary was on their way to an embarrassment of a season with Elliott until Chad Johnson had one of his patented hot streaks and dragged them out of the basement. There is a reason that the Flames who have also been trying to solve their goal tending problems for a few years now didn't bother keeping the guy around. He'll have a few hot streaks (like he did for the Flames leading up to the playoffs) but he will also have his ice cold streaks (like he did for the Flames in the playoffs and to start the season) He is not the guy to solve anything for a team in the net.

probably would have been more swearing and insults if that were the case

Don't give Jones too much credit, the Riders refuse to run the ball, they want to pass almost all the time. The book on Glenn is simple, pressure him and he goes away, so just get a push up front and it won't matter who they're lining up at receiver over there.

It's pretty much mandatory anyway, preseason, regular season, playoffs you never want a loss to those assholes.

General rule of thumb in the CFL, first 2 weeks of the season are still glorified preseason.

From the very get go Ricky Ray has had about the nicest touch on the ball in the league. He can just drop it where ever he wants it to go, things fall apart for him like they do for most qbs when he's rushed and getting hit, if you got Ray on your team though build a line that can protect him above all else and he'll make his receivers look good just by dropping the ball right into their hands.

SJ Green has been doing that for years though, Arceneaux as well is allowed to do whatever he wants to dbs too. It's really simple, you're a big receiver? Then go ahead and do whatever the **** you want, it's OK.

Time to be a homer, Andrew Harris

Yeah but the officials are often watching different games too

Suitor spent a good part of the game explaining how it's totally legal for receivers to just push dbs away in order to catch the ball. I swear I don't know what that guy watches half the time but it's certainly not the same game I do.

People get the money from having bought houses years ago and having the equity from the prices sky rocketing. If you didn't have a house prior though good luck. My wife bought a small condo almost 6 years ago when she was living there and that thing is ridiculously priced considering it's size and it's gone up a bunch in the time since too.

I know, that .894 year was I believe the Eakins year where the defensive coverage was a mess, which further illustrates the point, goalies who don't get support from the D don't look good and good goalie play and good D play go hand in hand in todays NHL.

Looking at the depth charts, man if Ray stays healthy and they can give him some protection up front that could be a real sleeper team this year.

Oh absolutely, but a big part of his problem was getting absolutely hung out to dry in Edmonton too.

Look around the league, guy like Devan Dubnyk was **** behind a terrible D and he goes on to a team that knows how to play a sound defensive game and he's a vezina candidate. There's lots of goalies that can make saves these days, the key is getting a team in front of them that can avoid making the big mistakes.

Damning with faint praise.

Man that BC offensive line had some problems, lucky for them Jennings can throw it the length of the field on the run just with a flick of the wrist. But then the Esks caught them all napping by doing the same thing right back to them and just heaving it deep. Actually both teams showed a love of just going long, Matt Dunigan musta shed some tears watching it. I'd pitch it deep all the time too if I had big receivers who were allowed to just throw dbs out of the way all the time. Duke Williams I don't think caught a single pass without abusing the smaller dbs, and I'll be honest, they said the guy was 6'3 225 but man he looks bigger than that, just a horse. How can you cover a guy like that when he's allowed to be that phyiscal?

To be fair I only jumped on the band wagon cause making sure Rider fans know that they don't know what the **** they're talking about is just plain fun.

yeah but if it was over turned to be a fumble then it's not a dead play and because Montreal jumped on the ball immediately it would have been their recovery in the endzone, that's the whole point of over turning a play. Only way it would have been Sask ball at the 1 on an over turn is if the Montreal players hadn't played it like it was a fumble and got on it right away. Try and keep up when the CFL changes their rules.
