Heh guys, a Rider fan came on here and complimented us. So leave it at that. I think as long as we have Kyle Walters running the show we should be alright. This thread is a nice break from what I have to listen to here in SK (Rod Peterson 620 radio Regina). Yesterday he was saying how the Riders are ahead of the Bombers at this stage of their rebuild 2 1/2 years into the Jones era. (I'm not sure what our record was 2 1/2 years into O Shea's time then, but I wouldn't be bragging if I were him). Then he went on to insult the Eskimos saying "how many cups have you won since Jones left"? He constantly brags that the Riders should have got to the Cup last year (but leaves out the fact they were 4th in west and beat Hamilton with a drugged up RB). All that to say that I welcome a comment from a Rider fan who is in touch with reality.

The circus??

The quarterback is no longer the main problem in Montreal. Manziel is learning. He is inexperienced, but watching him, you can tell he has talent. The receivers dropped a few of his passes on Saturday.

Fixed it for you.

Well, I hate to be negative...but on Friday night our receivers were open all night long...lots of overthrown balls

I wonder if the Riders are bringing in a certain 44 yr old receiver with the release of Carter?

And why does the press release say "receiver"? I'm confused? (lol)

Maybe Montreal will sign him...it's a circus there already

Interesting. I will text Rod Peterson (Sask radio) that info next week. I'm sure he will have a reaction as always

Randle got beat a couple of times...once when all he had to do was turn around, but the ball was placed perfectly. Nicholls on the other hand...I can't sugar coat it, he looked bad at times. This offense should have put up 40...but we won.

It's okay. I hate the Eskimos. You can refer to them as the Evil Empire.

In other news...according to the depth chart the Bombers have both Fenner and Leggett listed at SAM.

Well, I will give the same response I would give if this happened to any player in the league...I will reserve judgement on his intent. He is paying a price for this - 2 games pay - so regardless, he needs to be more careful.

I really like the defense we are fielding on Friday. I am coming to the game from Saskatoon so let's go Bombers!!

I think it's because they feel Fenner can play SAM well and Leggett is so versatile that he makes plays from anywhere on the field. (Leggett can play HB better than Fenner).

Andrew Harris

I'm going to say above average. Hall has some very good talent to work with, and some good depth, but I need to give Hall some credit too. This defense is on the rise.

Not sure if Tom Brady could be successful behind that O line

So what would be a successful night for Manziel? 2 TDs?

See the top of post...CFL ca

Most on this board always cheer against the Riders. Not me when they are playing the Eskimo's. I lived through the Edmonton Dynasty of 5 cups in a row. I got so sick of them winning that I never wanted to see them win another game, ever again...never mind a Grey Cup. They are the Evil Empire, plain and simple.

I guess Andrew Harris would be a bad pick this week eh? Okay, I have no clue so I'll go with Bo Levi Mitchell...

We should be no worse than 4-1 in those 5 games. Calgary and the LDC will be tough games though.

Some will say that we haven't beaten a good offense yet...but I contend that I have seen improvements in this defense in the last 3-4 games. With Brandan Alexander back and with Sayles getting valuable playing experience I see the makings of possibly a top 3 defense. Our linebackers are now the strength of this defense...IMHO the best linebackers we have had since the late '80's/early 90's days.

I actually had a hard time with Calgary vs. Saskatchewan...it's time for Calgary to lose one...and SK defense has looked good...but I went with calgary
