Durant is the best QB this team has had since Austin was the QB and we ran him out of town. I guess we expect the same with Darian if the current climate continues. <br /><br />JNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-64493653449788065992012-08-11T22:14:31.688-06:002012-08-11T22:14:31.688-06:00Can't argue with what Brad is saying.Can't argue with what Brad is saying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-64804528126645077792012-08-11T15:50:14.083-06:002012-08-11T15:50:14.083-06:00Maybe Getzlaf should have stuck to hockey like his...Maybe Getzlaf should have stuck to hockey like his brother, who has also been mediocore the past couple seasons, but made over $5.5 million a season for last several years (likely the entire CFL's salary cap).

I can only imagine where we might be if more guys cared that much (memo to Getzlaf).<br /><br />We had nearly 500 yards of offence in Edmonton yet we lose. If we score 20 they score 28. If we score 38 in Calgary they score 41. If we score 36 they score 37. It's as obvious as the nose on your face what the problem is.<br /><br />Until we bring in a new DC and some new defensive players, we will be saddled with these tough losses. Our D-line has resumed its mediocre position. Our backs can't cover, hit or tackle. Our defense was our achilles heel last season and it is again. The common denominator is Richie Hall. He simply has to go. Does Chamblin have the stones to make that move? Well I guess these upcoming days will tell.<br /><br />Our defense is costing us these games. If defense wins Championships then we won't be winning any.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-56514172084653187352012-08-11T12:34:54.805-06:002012-08-11T12:34:54.805-06:00I'm with ya Brad!I'm with ya Brad!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-67968787038770940022012-08-11T12:34:31.626-06:002012-08-11T12:34:31.626-06:00Dressler drops a pass in Calgary that would have g...Dressler drops a pass in Calgary that would have given us a win and he fumbles a ball in this game that turned the contest around. Why doesn't Dressler take any criticism? Are fan favourites immune from that? I love the guy and I think he is our best player, but lets call a spade a spade here. <br /><br />BrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-9368075055431639992012-08-11T12:33:06.291-06:002012-08-11T12:33:06.291-06:00One other positive besides Sheets is the emergence...One other positive besides Sheets is the emergence of Taj Smith. I would like to see him get the ball a little more. <br /><br />Others will hang this on Durant. I'm not. This is a team that is bad on defence and that is Richie's responsibility.

You can change players and coaches-same result. Maybe 5 wins in 20 years in Edm. Also, Riders mostly lose before AND after the bye, as they just did. After watching this team for 40+ years, I realize this team will never be great-the odd Grey Cup every 20 years with a so-so team. The first 4 games same as the next 4 opponents with opposite outcomes and location, Ham. L,Edm L,BC L,Cal.win maybe.jeffnoreply@blogger.com
