June 24, 20223 yr comment_572362 Montreal only had one more day of prep than SK. Williams wanted to demonstrate some new pass catching method, knock the ball out of the air and then catch it. Worked once, and announcers called it highlight reel, another time and it was incomplete, third time, int for td. Then helmet throwing? Wtf was that child doing?

Plus Dickenson has all the authority of Barny Fife or Principal Belding. It always feels like Marino takes 1 - 2 unnecessary roughness penalties per game and usually at the wrong time.

Wtf was that child doing? yeah the catch was a total fluke....just luck that it fell into his fat gut...and yeah for a wideout he looks Nik Lewisesque....minus the heart...and team first mentality...and yeah that helmet toss was pathetic and childish....loserville in riderville 27 minutes ago, stevethe3rd said: Montreal played Thursday, Riders Saturday. still is much ado about nothing...excuses are for losers...we will see if the next short week team gets manhandled...takes dumb penalty after dumb penalty...has their QB look like he has no clue...or arm and get thrashed on the scoreboard 4 minutes ago, Brandon said: It always feels like Marino takes 1 - 2 unnecessary roughness penalties per game and usually at the wrong time. and is dirty......from mouths of current players too btw....

Yesterday from the opening kick off the Riders were being completely outclassed and Dandy or whatever the new center had fresh legs and was just a turnstile being pushed around from the start.

June 25, 20223 yr comment_572861 It really is crazy what lengths the Rider fan base will go to in order to justify their team’s performance. Nothing matters until they realize that they’re being headed by an average level QB playing behind a terrible OL and the team isn’t anywhere near disciplined enough. Those are the issues. That’s it. They’ve got solid players at a lot of spots - Duke, Leonard, Robertson, Marino, Sankey, Moncrief, etc etc but Fajardo isn’t a winner and the team around him isn’t going to make up for it by playing hard-nosed and disciplined ball. It’s a bunch of me me me out there and they’re never going to win a ring like that.
June 25, 20223 yr comment_572864 100 percent agree....and the HC doesnt have the onions to take control..inmates running the asylum there
June 25, 20223 yr comment_572866 If that D could stop shooting themselves in the foot with penalties, they’d be pretty damn good.
June 25, 20223 yr comment_572867 Honestly the biggest problem with the riders last game was Montreal didn't miss any field goals. Riders lead the league in wins thanks to opposition missed field goals
June 25, 20223 yr comment_572870 They have pieces on defence....but can't fix Stoopid...plus no depth behind said pieces

June 25, 20223 yr comment_572878 Matter of time before Duke is injured too with the punishment he takes from defenders and having to lay out to catch any pass from Fajardo's noodle.

June 25, 20223 yr comment_572884 Yeah....I mean ramp up the excuses....interesting we replaced 2 starting wide receivers...a rb...guard...now center as well as missing BA...Jefcoat for a game...no Stove...Alford....and we don't look like a shitshow extravaganza and are 3-0...hmmm....interesting

Overall the worst disciplined team in the CFL & being run by a head coach who can't do anything to stop it.

June 26, 20223 yr comment_573098 Duke+KSB and lots of nothing at WR. Think things are going to get worse and I am loving it.

You need a QB performance that is at least somewhat competent The Als might have still have won with a subpar QB performance, but the game would have been much closer Ummm..no..Harris was average to slightly above average. His was not some virtuoso performance.

The oline with Clark prob gives up 6 sacks regardless....it was laid out plain and simple...QB there is weak....and with zero protection just compounds it....and that defense has pieces, but it's got too many holes, and wayyyy too much undisciplined play....chalk that up to a weak ass coach and management, and bringing in guys who don't buy into team....Dickie said prior to game that if they don't smarten up....then guess guys need to lose playing time....see if he sticks to his guns....but I doubt it Is it a lack of discipline or a lack of character? Me first players. O'Day learned his craft from Jones who puts zero stock in a player's character. Talent is great when scouting but guys like Walters know that it is only part of the equation.
June 27, 20223 yr comment_573218 Combo of the 2 in my opinion...and you know that there are probably factions in that dressing room that don't see things nor play the game the same way... compound that with a coaching staff and management that either don't have the balls to address it....are just blind to it and can't see it...or have tried and just get walked over cause there's no 2 way respect and you get what you saw the last 2 games....and garuantee u woulda seen it game one if Hamilton actually showed up and made it a game...or were winning

I think there are hotheads like Marino who just have no self control, and then you have others like Marshall who are just ego driven to take stupid penalties. Either way, adds up to a lack of discipline that the coach can't really do much about because it is ingrained in the individual. A good room might be able to kick a couple of these guys back into shape, but one that is rudderless has no chance. This is not to let Dickie off the hook, because he is the HC and needs to put his foot down but he inherited a pretty undisciplined roster from Jones that can only be remedied by making some really tough choices.
