Still bitter abt the complete gutting of the team?
Maybe Rider Pride has been injured too judging by the unusually low turnout at the game. Now that would be a swift kick in the knackers!
I'm a diehard fan of the Green and White but I'm feeling like Jones might be going for the fence for his own stock.

Great blog guys. In my mind I was a little harder on QB BJ for his over throws and under throws. You are correct in that many of us fans see the negative and dwell on it. I think the reason why is we expect a player at this level to have all the nuances down. Execution, getting your reads, body position on the throw and so on. If you don't have those down then you shouldn't have made it this far. An over throw or under throw a couple times in a game is one thing. I believe the… Read more »

Anon 1… You do realize that only back up QB's were used the whole game … Right?While BC played their #1 A and B to make some pretty nice drives. Our back up QB BJ threw a pick 6 otherwise the team with back up QB's did ok. Or did you miss that because your football IQ is negative 3Better yet did you even listen to this pod cast. It sure dosent read that way. You must be an EE fan dropping by. Anyone that judges anything about the up coming season from a preseason game is a complete dork!Hell… Read more »

I blame the ill fitting jerseys. Look like they just came out of the box and thrown on.
Congratulations Pittsburgh Penguins and Chris Kunitz. Bring that Stanley Cup back to your Riffel Highschool this summer!!!!

Seems to be a lot of apathy in RiderNation this year. Some in our group who have been going to home games plus most games in Alberta for the last 20 years have booked weddings and holidays during games this year, haven't bought their yearly new jerseys either. Even social media isn't buzzing like in the past.I'm not seeing the normal level of excitement hopefully it picks up

I guess that the 5 different concerts happening in Saskatoon and MooseJaw had nothing to do with turn out. Saturday evening was the Biggest night for the Garth Brooks concert. That's the evening Regina fans headed to Stoon instead of Mosaic. Plus the weather sucked. Do you guys just pop out of your turd holes every once in a while to make a statement from the tiny little bubble you live in. Every Rider fan knows that 50% of the new guys playing in this game will not be playing in the next game. If the Riders have over 22000… Read more »

As its said by people who want to have discussions in a rational respectful manner…. When respectful discussion leaves those who have nothing to say….
Foul words follow… tsk tsk
One would have th bought with all the hoopla surrounding the coronation fans would have wanted to see what to expect. I certainly hope the Riders will be competitive. They're my team!

Roddy, why are you the only one wearing Rider gear in the last picture?? Don't Luc and Dan work for the Riders like you do?
after watching last nights game, the question is not how many wins the riders will have this year – but will they have any wins this year !!!!!!!
there is not any team in the west that they can compete against let alone beat.
