I thought Harker played well considering the circumstances. This was the TiCats doing what the Riders did last year. Riders should have won the game but timely turnovers, timely TD by special teams &, despite being out-offenced, the team pulls out a win. TiCat victory, Rider 2018 style. Hard to know what to expect this early in the season. But some good signs on offence.

True Masoli turned the ball over a lot but he was the Eastern MOP. The QB's we wanted in free agency reside in Calgary, BC & Edmonton. We even offered the oft injured Lulay a contract telling me, despite the bold talk, mgmt hasn't much faith in Zach. Does subbing Arcenaux for Williams-Lambert & Watson for Bagg make us better or just older? My concern on defence is having Leonard on one end & 35 year old Hughes is no sure thing. As much as Johnson is a great add, I can't overlook the fact that over half of our defensive TD's & 6 of 7 INT's from the front 7 came from Jefferson, Eguavoen & Antigha. Minimal change compared to other clubs but are we improved? Maybe but we are fooling ourselves if with a wee bit of improvement from Zach everything's rosy. He was dead last in QB efficiency for starters including Manziel & a dead heat with Bridge. Zach has to be MUCH better. The bar has been set pretty low for improvement there. We start with 3 vs the East & that should tell us something.
