Riders need to be humiliated.

Could never bring myself to cheer for the Riders. I hope their franchise never wins another game.

?‍?Matt brought up a point when Harris scored a TD...then got hit after the fact. Player safety. If they're serious, that should have been a penalty ?‍?Noticed blocks by Lankford and Adams, Gudino and Flanders. Really, I can't remember when we had as capable blockers in our receivers..for the most part. ?‍?If you're getting tackled by Leggett..you're getting tackled, he doesn't let go. ?‍?Well, I guess only Nichols can throw in the rain...pretty good performance. ?‍?Super quick Moe Leggett on the fumble.. ?‍?Mug and catch anyways. Darrin Adams gets mugged, but refuses to drop the ball. Darvinism, at its best! ?‍?How valuable are those snaps for Dominique Davis? ?‍?7 catches 195 yards up and Adams! ?‍?Flanders - this double dual RB situation is awesome! ?‍?The ever innovative Justin Medlock. Always looking to make the right punt/kick. I seriously underestimated this guy when he wasn't a Bomber ?‍?Field position....Bombers. And if they didn't get it initially, they worked for it ?‍?Agree on O'Shea's yellow flagging that PI...to keep momentum, even though it didn't result in points. But then again, how would you know? ?‍?No way Lindley was going to beat us. ?‍?553 yards offence ?‍?Only 6 penalties for the clean Bombers, and the turnover battle was won again. ?‍?That Strike to Harris by DDavis..could have been a TD. ?‍?Loffler is back...noticeably ?‍?The secondary looked like...a secondary. Well, at least against a thirdary QB ?‍?Hurl with the hold, Jeffcoat with the strip...nice. Wouldn't be a stretch to say that was the play the Bombers needed to get going ?‍?LaPo really mixing things up in there. A nice variation in plays. ?‍?What's domination without a little Dom? ?‍?Dom - deserved that TD pass to Harris..that he dropped - cut Harris ? ?‍?What comes after a strong Harris run? A trail of defenders in his wake ?‍?Wow, that is some rain..?☔️ Sarah Orlesky - I've worked #CFL sidelines since 2008 and I've worked in the rain a lot. This is the worst I've ever been in. Darrin Bauming - CFL stats correct/eliminate Matt Nichols' INT. He hasn't not thrown one at home in: 206 attempts, 321:00 of game-time, 21 quarters. #Bombers Matt Nichols - "I told (Adams) walking in the hallway this week this was going to be the week to get him over the century mark." ?‍?And Adams produced "Darvinism" Adams is now the CFL’s fourth-leading pass catcher, on pace for career highs in yardage (1,441) and touchdowns (9) - 3downnation Faith Ekakitie recorded his first career CFL tackle in the 2nd Q. ...It's a start. ?‍?Bomber's offence...methodical ?‍?So, what if it wasn't raining? What then for total yardage? "At one point in the third quarter, Maher had more punts (9), than Lindley had completions (8)." Ted Wyman "The Bombers ran the football effectively, with Harris amassing 83 yards and Flanders another 55." ?‍?Did the Bombers even know it was pouring rain at times? They didn't play like it. ?‍?Whenever a Bomber makes a big play on D, I'm not surprised it's from Moe Leggett ?‍?The Flanders got to see their boy Timothy (don't call me Tim) play a great game and score a TD, for the first time in his pro career. ?‍?Ha. Jermarcus Hardrick. O-lineman Jermarcus Hardrick, apparently wanting to one-up Harris, decided to forgo the leap he invented last year and simply walked up the stairs and into the stands for some love. Paul Friesen ?‍?Really like that receiver sweep featuring Lankford and the boys.. ?‍?2/3 into the season..9-3 ?‍?No rush? Or good offensive line play by Ottawa? ?‍?Bombers' up tempo pace is fun to watch 3downnation- The Bombers averaged a stunning 8 yards per 1st down play as they racked up 27 first downs and 513 yards of total offence ?‍?361 passing yards and another 192 yards on the ground. ?‍?Love seeing all 3 QBs in the game ?‍?How 'bout that Nichols and his scrambling ?‍?Yesterday, for the W, could have meant Wind or Wetness, but the back-from-the-bye Bombers were not distracted. For the W, no matter what the W threw at them in that game. ?‍?Love how Denmark contributed.. ?‍?Hit of the night? Thomas Miles on McDuffie I believe. ?‍?Santos-Knox..keeps looking like a player ?‍?Talk about focus with the Bomber receivers.. ?‍?Talk about the drive by Harris and the elusiveness of Flanders. What a combo! ?‍?What do Andrew Harris, Timothy Flanders, Weston Dressler, Clarence Denmark, Ryan Lankford, Matt Nichols, and Dan LeFevour have in common? They all rushed in the game vs Ottawa. ?‍?Harris - only 31 yards behind league leader Jerome Messam. 3rd in league rushing. ?‍?Speaking about Teague, he signed with the RedBlacks this week. ?‍?Matt Nichols is now 19 and 6 in his last 25 starts with a 70% completion rate, over 7,000 yards passing, and ten 300+ yards games. He also leads the league in TD passes this year with 24. ?‍?Ryan Lankford leads the CFL in kickoff returns with 1,107. ?‍?Justin Medlock has 39 field goals on the season so far... tops in the league and six more than 2nd place Rene Paredes. AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR A WELL DESERVED REST...

As much as I liked Marvin Coleman, retiring his jersey seems a bit much.

I wouldn't cheer for the Riders if the fate of the universe held in the balance.

Some thoughts I have had 1. All we heard about was how much talented the BC Calgary Eskimos offence and the talent Riders,receivers this offseason. The Bombers might not have the same talent but they play a better team game. Everyone buys in does there role and have become one the best we have seen in 10 years. 2. The Bombers offence system is really a game changer. Since inserting Flanders I would assume its become very difficult to game plane against them. So many different looks you have account for in your preparation to play Harris and Flanders. Also you force teams to cover either one of them with their WIL or MLB and that is easy pickings for Nichols 3. Seeing Nichols make every throw in terrible conditions isa great sign as they go further on into the fall. Full confidence if it's cold and snowing he will have no problems. 4. Darvin Adams is up there with the Walker Bowmans Arceneaux Burnham Ellingson Green Roosevelt 5. #RandleIsland 6. MOS finally in year 4 has 44 MOS out there never seen a team take on the personality of their head coach more than this one. 7. This may be the most fun I have had watching the Bombers mostly because of the players so much personality in a good way. 8. Winning is so much fun.

I know BC is going to try hard to prevent it, but God I'd love to see the Riders not make the playoffs while having more points than the East leader...

In honor of a Stamps win ... ... and another Soul Crushing Rider loss.

Absolutely soul crushing loss for the Riders fans..... I couldn't be happier about that.

Never ever hope for career threatening injuries that threaten a man's ability to earn for his family. Having said that, wouldn't mind seeing some guys get real banged up.... In a perfectly legal football way.....

i'd rather get 2nd..get that home playoff game...fine tune our game and go into the finals without a 2 week break and in the zone truthfully

But im sure they'll be spewing "were the 2nd best team in the league because our game against calgary was closer than yours" using their hillbilly Rider math.

Don't be absurd, this thread is clearly about Matt Dubuc.

Focus on the big picture. Whatever the result.......some form of happiness will occur.

Rider fans should be happy when I proclaim they are the best .500 team in the CFL

Bridge gives the Riders some arm strength and mobility. But he may also get a number of his receivers killed.

That was going to my second post - thus I'm going to post a post post your post.

This.... Stamps are overall better, but I like us in a do or die right now.

If the Bomber D could keep the Stamps out of the endzone the way the Riders are, they would have a very good chance of beating this team. O just needs to be able to consistently put up pts. on their D.

Yeah, they almost need to start calling the receivers who lower their head as they run into the contact.

Ref - "a squirrel!"

you could clearly see the ref staring off at an angle downfield.

Ref's job is to watch the kicker, Stamps have to waste their challenge on an obvious R.T.K. call.

Mark there is literally nothing that matters more to me than Bombers winning, but Stamps and Riders fans heartache is a close second... And I'm talking life in general, here...

#KG5ALLTHEWAY

Go Rider Stamps (notice the green and red outfit?)

I want the the Stamps to stomp the green sons of b's. But I'd like to see BLM concussed so his brain slides out of his ears. Messam receiving a broken ankle and out for the year. Then Glenn sacked receiving a broken throwing arm, so that it needs to be reattached and in the same play his head twisted around like he's possessed. And then Gainey gets caught getting it on with a Gainer so he gets run out of the country. A colossal massive fire taking out downtown Regina would also be nice. Then we scoop up first place and win the WF by 38 points and play the Red Blacks in the GC.

BTW ... even if the Riders win they still SUCK

There is laughter in a slaughter, you just have to look for it. Therefore, I hope there is a slaughter out there today among those two teams, and the laughter that will ensue will occur if it's the Riders who have been taken to task. Either way, we can't lose by any result. That's the benefit of taking care of our own business.

I'm hoping it's a 7-6 game and they're hurting each other out there... Its all I can stomach to cheer for.

Kavis and his management team.

Boy, the Bombers must be having a really good season if this is the kind of stuff we are grousing about today.

Swirling wind and rain to start..... Kyle Knox sighting: takes penalty on opening kickoff...... Hurl still looks pretty slow on blitz.... Bombers driving....Nichols throws perfect TD to Adams.... ....call back because of ....you guessed it....the ole hands to face call. Blue settles for Medlock booting it through, Bombers 3-0. Powell running with authority for RedBlacks.... Walker defending a couple of passes...... Bombers running some hurryup, on 2nd down plays.... Nice catch by Adams....Harris takes screen for 15.... ...but Nichols sacked.....on comes Medlock....6-1 Bombers Blue O moving the ball pretty well....but need some finish... Nichols scrambles right-then left....and hits Adams deep.... Bombers winning the field position and TOP, anyways... RB Powell is good.....but some defensive tackling....bad... Not getting pressure on Lindley, yet...he gets ball out on time.. Okpaulugo must of heard me....puts smack on QB... Nichols long pass to Denmark, Dressler runs sweep for more... But Nichols and Dressler.... not much chemistry further down the field..... Medlock hits 3rd FG.....Bombers pulling away. 9-2 Moe Leggett all over the place again..... Jeffcoat strips Powell of ball....also recovers it on RB 35 Nichols misfires downfield with Dress again.... ...but swing pass to Westy....gets big 2nd down gain... Harris up the gut, finds huge hole, cuts back and rumbles into end zone. Lindley starting to look nervous, with some pretty erratic throwing. Obvious PI on Redblack DB. Obvious to everybody, except officials... MOS challenges and gets it , but 2nd down pass to Flanders short of marker Lindley getting less mustard on the short passes, now..... Some of these roughing the QB are pretty chintzy... Dressler out of the game (again) McDuffie treating some Medlock punts.....like hemlock... Tough conditions out there: cold, windy, and wet.... Bomber O handling it all, pretty well..... Mahar punting extremely well for Ottawa Only handful of diehards sitting in end zones, at this point... Blue running receiver sweeps effectively, tonight... Lankford runs another one for good gain..... Flanders takes swing pass, breaks 3 tackles......TD With this weather and Lindley....22-2 looks pretty safe. Ottawa now abandoning run game.....not to their advantage... Andrew Harris....another productive game.....film at 11. Bomber O eating up yards and clock..... ....until Nichols has ball slip out of hand, throwing.... RB's recover......good run by Powell.....to Blue 20. Lindley then simply drops ball.....Bomber recover... Nichols rears back and bombs it right into Adams's hands...... .....who busts down the middle of field to finish 75 yd TD pass Back breaker. 29-3. Goodnite Ottawa. Lindley just chucking and praying, now...... Some nice plays from Alexander, back there..... HSZ (Hall's soft zone) puts in an appearance.... .....enabling Lindley to complete 4 straight passes..... Powell runs in a consolation TD, for Redblacks.... Bombers could still use a big run stuffing LB. Leggett smothers 2 point convert try..... Redblacks do recover nice short KO, off of Leggett... But Moe knows football. And picks off 50/50 deep ball... Strange looking character ambles in, behind center.... Rubbing my eyes.....it is Dom Davis! Dom does the bomb to Adams, who makes nice catch.... ...and must have around 200 yards receiving, tonight.. Dom hits Harris with perfect pass across middle...but dropped. Another win....at home.....9-3 - this winning stuff getting pretty boring... Aw...glug....,glug....,glug...........................glug.

The gap between the median and average is sad. And so is the amount of people under 20k. Iirc players get a housing stipend, or housing food etc. Its not the life one would associate with a pro athlete. But its not some one working 3 part time min wage jobs trying to make ends meat. I would like to see them make more, I think we all would. The dollar conversion is tough too. Paying out in USD could cause serious trouble in tough times. And bumping pay with out increasing league revenue could be just as dangerous. Really have to hope for the league to grow. Realistically, a strong turn around for the argos franchise would go a long long ways in the next TV deal. Which will be a big difference maker. The story of guys from AFL/AFL2 especially from the PR down there (back in the day) is scary. Living off next to nothing, PB sandwiches, full time work borrowing money to go to try outs and open camps.

They played well for the first 2 but the third was terrible, Hutch will be send to the Moose if he clears waivers

Well everyone but Toronto has a QB black hole out there.

Lipon was fighting someone way above his weight class and accorded himself just fine.

Nice hair Lipon

My only explanation is it's preseason ...

Actually Bauming's CFL: 60 just moved to Tuesdays when there's a Jets game on Monday...

Jayzuz. Wilder is a beast!

I wasn't aware Thorpe is the only player getting paid like this.... I wonder how all the other people on our team and across the league on the PR survived over the years...

Kavis Reed should literally be fired for the halftime show. He's making Tim Burke look like a genius.

I just tuned in now.... Duane Forde is either sick with a cold... or absolutely disinterested in calling this game. Durant hanging on to the ball way to long...

Kavis Reed: the living definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

They should put in Drew. I have the Argos D in fantasy and Willy gets sacked a lot.

I like standing for kickoffs. Everyone in my section stands. It's a mix of people shouting first down. I don't see why it's a problem. True North chant is terrible and worse at Bombers games.

TB4...absolutely superb Cactus channeling! Great initiative!

How is that not enough, that's 3000 a month and hundreds of thousands of Canadians live off of that every month and their housing is not included nor food. So I say bullshit he can't live off of a PR salary.
