How about those Riders?

[browna]

Another loss for the Rider Nation. 3 straight losses...
Who's to blame for this one? Burris I assume?

To me I would say it looked like the entire team just gave up.

When did Crandell go in? Was it the end of the 2nd or sometime in the 3rd. (I think it was the end of the 2nd.)

I would say you can't blame one QB who only played 1/2 the game.

well injuries have caught up to the green Riders. Half of there starting receivers and more are out. 9 turnovers and its lights out.
Crandell looked just like...Crandell. He went in late in the 2nd quarter I believe.

Couldnt have happened to a nicer fanbase.

Edit: The best part is that on riderfans.com, they are all talking about how good Crandell was, and how he should be starting.

I just dont have the heart to tell them that what Crandall does on the back end of a blowout with no pressure is quite different than what he does as a starter with pressure.

Really, they need to learn it themselves.

I've been on RF.com telling them what to expect from that bum, but they don't believe me and think I'm just a bitter Stamps fan... can't wait until they start crying for Crandell's head after his 20th one-hopper of the night!

But hey, the Riders are definitely better off without Burris, hey? THANKS ROY!! I guess he has started working for the Stamps again after all!

But but but.... he was Grey Cup MOP in 2001

9 Turnovers is absolutely brutal. That's got to be like some type of record. After 5, I'd start taking a knee and resort to punting.

I didnt see the game, but Nealon Greene is SOOOOOOOO overrated. he is awful, can run, but cant pass. the riders deserve to have him. the riders are a classless team that deserve to suck

As a Bomber fan, it hurt to see the Riders walk all over us in week 1. But before the season even started; I accepted that it was a re-building year in Winnipeg and predicted them to finish 5th. I also echoed my comments of the rebuilding year to my friends who were watching that game with me; right after the opening kickoff.

It's almost like Saskatchewan played the first few games, figured it was their year, and wanted everything handed to them.

On the other side, it looks like Montreal is starting to get their act together after falling apart to Ottawa and Winnipeg.

I really like how many of them impressed with Crandell's ability to make passes under heavy pressure.

:P

If there's one thing Crandell does more consistently than throwing one-hopppers it's putting up a present for the defense with a heavy blitz in his face.

How much longer will Danny B keep his job? The only thing that would make me happier was if it was the Esks losing like the Riders.

[Resolute 14]

Forget Danny B. How long does Shivers continue to keep his job?
