Hey - he won a GC as HC of the Esks = he's a genius. ;o)
Feel for the many passionate Rider fans who expected way more. But too many of them bought the green kool-aid Ego was slinging. Just had to get rid of all-time Rider greats (who obviously can still play) in Dressler, Chick & Durant. They wren't his guys was wayyyy more the reason than $M$ cry-baby B$ that so many riderfans. subscribe too - and Ego was going to show he can easily bring in his guys who would be way better, just because. Kevin Glenn & a predictable offence; same old gob no clue about Canadian talent, and he's supposed to be a defensive guru but they look lost there. I'm with the Riderfans who think hiring this guy to be the Supreme Commander there was a huge mistake. Agreed - looks good on him.
I must have watched a different game because the Riders lost in OT and have looked pretty good the last two games. A big improvement from last year.
Glenn has played pretty good. If their kicker hadn't missed the OT kick this week and the last second FG last week, they could be 2 - 0 or at least 1 - 0 -1
It's us vs the rest of the country
Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
More like they probably could have been blown out both games; they were the beneficiary of terrible calls with replay review failing to confirm obvious fumbles in both games by them, so they kept possession and helped keep them in those games. Montreal is re-building as much or more as Ego-Jones is and they won with the horrible non-fumble call. And inspite of the huge crowd firing them up at their new stadium that got them some early momentum, they looked horrid on defence later in the game giving up easy TDs and 20 some points to the Bombers in a matter of several minutes. That clown Ego is living in a fantasy land if things he will have a winning team with Kevin Glenn at QB, and his supposed brainiac defence looks like a joke. Worst team in the league, by a mile, IMO after 2 weeks, but maybe the Ticats - who looked lousy against the Argos - will be the the tonic that the Riders need.
I doubt it - Ticats by 7 or more.
