What to do about the D?
Has the media asked about Johnson at all? I can't remember ever hearing a reason as to why he is out.

This argument is dumb. Besides, Enjoyment = Result - Expectations. By my math, high expectations means you are all robbing yourselves of enjoyment.

It's a gift and a curse. Actually not so much a gift as a birth defect...

Likely because he wasn't ever personally charged/convicted.

You need to read up on what actually happened. This isn't like noticing someone swipe an Eat More from a Husky station. He was alleged to be complicit in a cover up of what was a pretty serious sexual assault problem among the athletes that he was responsible for.

Yeah, I get that, but saying "none of my business" is super weak, especially given the collective response of his peers in the media.

WTF is with Rod Pedersen's response?

Dinwiddie absolved. I now blame those uniforms.

All turnovers are reviewed automatically now, though, which would have helped.

Unfortunately, with the way the Riders are playing, combined with the Labour Day factor, I think the Bombers getting wrecked on Sunday is a near certainty. I would put my money on a Rider blowout Sunday, and a Bomber squeaker in the Banjo Bowl. The Riders defence is good enough to keep it close in the latter, and the Bombers defence bad enough to get destroyed in the former.

In hindsight, with video replay the way it is now we probably win that game. Due to the aforementioned "interceptions".

Whenever someone bites a stalk of celery I get flashbacks to Kevin Glenn's wrist breaking. I still wake up in a cold sweat yelling "Run Dinwiddie! For God sakes, just run!".- Ridirts @ Eskos

O was OK. D was bad. Couldn't make a play in the second half to save their lives until double OT. Really worried this D is going to squander what has been another strong year for us otherwise. If the D was even average to me we are Grey Cup favorites.- We need to petition the CFL Commish to host LDC
Weren't we on a winning streak at this time last year?- GDT: EDMONTON @ WINNIPEG
Any play where the QB plays QB and the receiver plays receiver automatically has a better chance of working. The trick play is the kind of thing you run where the offence has struggled and you magically find yourself in scoring range and in need of a momentum swing. When your starters are dominating the way they did on that drive, you keep riding them. I almost hated the play where they kept Lefevour in after a 2nd (3rd?) and short even more. They have tried that a bunch of times this season and it has almost always been stopped for little or no gain, largely because the defense knows he isn't going to throw the ball. As soon as he stayed in I said to my wife, "Oh great, let's watch Lefevour run for 2 yards and kill all the momentum we had on this drive". Sure enough... Nichols was the hot hand.

I mean, we scored 39 points. Hard to complain, really. People complained about too many field goals last year, and yet we make it to the West Final if our D doesn't poop the bed.- Is it known which Western team tried to grab Spooner off PR??
Are we really arguing that a player wouldn't want an active spot on another team because he was already doing "good enough" on the practice roster? - 3 stars + HH Heart stopping OT edition
