  1. I am not even going to go down that road of how insane it is to go on a rivals forum, be so bugged by what you are reading a profile is created, and your single post contains the words inferiority complex directed at Winnipeg. I will say we won the championship less than four months ago. Sit down you disrespectful four stripe.
  2. I have never seen the point on a missed field goal as reward for failure. I have always felt if a team drives the ball to field goal range but misses the kick, the potential for a point is fair because they have not failed, they driven the ball into range. The same goes if they simply created a turnover, did not advance the ball, but missed the kick. They created the turnover so a point on a miss is fair. I tend to look a bit more at the circumstances leading to the kick. If you don't want to give up a point on a miss, don't let the opposition drive the ball and don't turn it over. I don't see it as rewarding failure but actually rewarding what you accomplished.
  3. Well, I am beginning to think I am superstitious about uniform color. The Bombers chose to wear white?? Aside from the Blue jerseys looking amazing, I strangely think a team looks bigger and more intimidating in the dark jerseys. We go white, Hamilton goes all black. This is not the choice I would have made.
  4. Really? Because in the thread on Rider Fans there is post after post of people who are feeling pretty good about it. Some even delusionally believe the Riders have been so hard done by in the past they were somehow owed this. It's actually pretty pathetic.
  5. So let's recap this day. - defensive player of the year Adam Bighill signs with Bombers. - jealous fan on Rider forum suggests injury on Bighill. - second jealous fan on Rider forum suggests now all Bombers need is a head coach and general manager. - Riders lose head coach and general manager Chris Jones. Oh Rider fans. There are no words for how sad you are.
  6. People are jumping on Nichols and yes he played bad. But there were several reasons for this loss. The coaches did not do this team any favors tonight. ...and the reality is as well, Streveler did have the ball in hands at two very key points of the game...points that could have closed the game. Now this may be not on him either (looking at the coaching again), but it was in his hands and he didn't produce. Just saying the blame on this one can be shared by a few.
  7. Lol mfranc. He is doing everything possible to console himself over at the Rider forum. On page 1 of the western final thread he mocks the Stamps calling them the "ultimate underachievers". On page 2, as the game turned, he mocks the Esks calling them the "Edmonton EskiChokes". Have a good winter Rider fans...and cheer up! You still have that one shopping mall. .
  8. Newest doesn't mean best. My experience with Mosaic... The washroom I used in the lower bowl end zone was a horrible design and a complete gong show. Super narrow passage between the sink and stall area made for massive jams. Don't know if they are all like this but I never had this problem at IGF, even Banjo Bowl. Crazy chopy stadium within the bowl. Didn't flow. Tons of concrete. Very cold looking. Lower bowl corner very steep. Felt like the upper deck. Concourse was not open air like IGF, only the end zones and centre field area. Felt arena like. Liked their glassed in food court type area, but overall, when I hear yet another insufferable Rider fan proclaim everything Regina is so great...lol...it is not. ...and that roof. The "bowl like" atmosphere is of the toilet variety.
  9. Wow Ripper. This whole Nichols debate has now started because you once again had to ride to the defence of your Riders. To ask if today Nichols will "finally do something" and call him "over rated" is not even credible. Your "defend at all costs" shtick is beyond old. It isn't even your actual team that is so despised by so many across the country. We want the team to fail because it will bring hardship to an absolutely insufferable fan base, and you add to that with every post. Instead of continually stirring things up on a rivals fan board, don't you have to iron your jersey for a wedding today or something?
  10. So what you are possibly believing is that the Rider's have a qb (Vince Young), who by all reports has struggled in training camp and has zero CFL game experience, and they are going to pass on an opportunity to evaluate him and have him gain CFL game experience...they will then start another qb (presumably Glenn) in their season opener "so the Bombers don't have any film on him" and then trot him out on Canada Day like he is some sort of secret weapon? Normally I would say, lol, fan forums!...but Chris Jones is running their show so I find this perfectly logical.
  11. An absolutely devastating loss to anyone even remotely emotionally invested in this franchise. I honestly believed in this team and thought they were maybe one play away from doing enough to win. The kick was a mistake that I assume would not happen again. I am not going to pile on the coach and the team because the reality is I don't know more than those running a CFL franchise. So many people on here clamoring for Ryan Smith to not dress but what a mistake that would have been on this day. I find it weird to thank a franchise that gives me so much pain, but that was really a fun season.
  12. Way to burn him Ripper. I won't tell him...Darian's back to back years "in the tub" will be our secret.
  13. I get that it is our nature to focus in on one play because it was late in the game and the refs were involved, however the reality is football is won and lost over 60 minutes. What caused BC to lose this game was a series of events. Maybe their downfall was Jonathan Jennings inability to protect the football, or their team not showing up until down 24-3 and not playing 4 quarters, or their players and coaches being so unprepared as to fall for 2 fakes on the same drive, or their insane decision to run east-west on third and one and the game on the line. The refs and the breaks will always play a big part and maybe the Bombers got one. But looking at this game over 60 mins, there are many reasons why the Bombers came out ahead. Great game that could have went either way but full credit for the win.
