I'm at a loss for words. In my wildest dreams, I didn't think the Riders would be 1-6 this season. While the offence has had its problems, they put up 35 points on this night, but the defence allowed 45 and they looked bad in doing so.
So much I could say, but you can go right ahead. Let er rip!!!
Yeh, the offence put up 35 points but you gotta put it in perspective. Calgary could have played second stringers for the entire second half and still won.
ReplyDeleteRichie Hall and Doug Berry have to go or you're going to get awful tired of defending them.
I don't want to be called a bandwagon jumper so I'll just say, 'be patient' we might win another game this year.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Riders have to do what Toronto did and can the DC. Absolutely atrocious!!
ReplyDeleteOn the bright side - Hugh Charles, Efrim Hill and Shomari Williams. Darian played good enough to win and his stats would have been even more impressive save for the passes into the hands that were dropped and the horrible interception (should have run Hugh Charles from the 5 on one of the plays). The team is a work in progress and with a couple of key additions (say Chick and Fantuz) our confidence would surge and there would be another run to the Grey Cup. All we can do now is hope for the best.
ReplyDeleteChick is not coming back, he is standing out at Indianapolis Colt's camp so far.
ReplyDeleteScary part about this years team is people are becoming indifferent about things. I have some friends that are 20 year diehard season ticket holders and they left at half time last night. First time they have done that ever.
Hopson has had it easy ever since he took over with a winning culture. The culture has changed. Its time for Jim to stand up and show us what type of Prez he is by making the right moves. With a short week, I don't expect change, but I do before Labour Day with the team having a bye week.

ReplyDeleteAnyone want to build a $450 Million dollar dome now ?
ReplyDeleteThe Rider's record has nothing to do with whether or not to build a new stadium. The old one does. It should be condemned. Time for a new one & do it right the first time. Multi-purpose & retractable roof. I can't wait to be able to convert my Rider season tickets into seats in the new building. Strive to achieve a "state of the art" structure and it will pay dividends in the future. That's makes more sense than wishing you had done it right the first time. As far as the Riders go, yeah, they need big time help. Do I know what for sure? No. But like any other tough project in life you keep on trying till you find the right combination that works. I, like many others, would like to think I know what they should do. But in reality, there is probably a good reason I'm in the occupation I'm in and not part of running a pro football team. Patience, it will turn around again. Likely not as fast as I/we would like though.
ReplyDeleteI'm in for the dome
ReplyDeletethe defence did not give up 45 they gave up 38 and the offense gave up 7
ReplyDeleteLet's build the dome. What a couple losses and we quit?
ReplyDeleteWill the media finally grow a set and ask about the org structure? Seriously, who is calling the shots for this team? Too many cooks in the kitchen obviously.
