I emailed Climie and he told me this morning that the 2022 Bombers are the worst 7-0 team of all time.

Can't we just drop this argument, and get back to all agreeing that we should drop #ForTheW and go back to the far superior "We've got it going on" campaign?

Whoever made the schedule this year- thank you for your service, you’re no longer required.

Teams prepare for him more, when he gets double teamed etc. It just opens someone else up. He may not get the sexy stats of prior years, but still makes guys who play around him better and an integral cog to our D.

I'll take things that surprise no one for $500.

The same Paul Martin who urged people to "buy Canadian", while running Canada Steamship Lines International......under the Panamanian "flag of convenience" to avoid Canadian taxes.

Jake has been the Bombers MOC up to this point.

Yah, I'd say Jefferson has been having a great season so far, stats. are for people who don't watch the games.

Great interview with Derek Taylor on Winnipeg Sports Talk yesterday. As many probably recall, DT often did "deep dive" type stats when he was with TSN. In his tracking this year, and looking back at last year he discovered the following: Percentage of runs that Bomber running backs were hit in the backfield in 2021: 13 percent Going into the Edmonton game, Bomber running backs have been hit in the backfield 31 percent of the time. I'm sorry, but that's a staggering difference - so it's not like our current running backs have forgotten over an off-season how to run the ball. Both showed reasonably well last season when Andrew Harris was fat/out of shape and injury prone. The loss of Couture and Desjarlais plays a huge part as well, and absolutely there's been times when Augustine and Oliveria have missed open lanes - I've yelled at my TV this year when it's happened. However, to place run game struggles solely on them just isn't an accurate train of thought whatsoever, and the figures by DT proves that.

Yeah everyone praises Paul Martin for balancing the budget but he did that on the back of forcing provinces to make the cuts.

the word "hero" gets thrown around a lot these days..

God damn Climie apologist... 😁

yup....it really messes teams up...and if all goes well and Kongbo comes back and we can have him and Jeffcoat come off the edge...toss in a Wilcotts or Sayles or the Panzer...will really create havoc I'd even go so far as to say Thompson has a nice foothold there...once he got a few games under his belt he been pretty good...brings the lumber and def has teams receivers looking over their shoulders...I was critical at first...but now he isn't a concern....basically was a raw rookie to start yr...so had some learnin' moments

thats why I said earlier...we should move him for a late round pick...neg guy....even a PR guy...he serves no purpose here now other than prob consuming about 130...150k....didnt cost us anything so far this yr...or to obtain him...so anything in return is a win

On another media related topic, 3Down Nation, is starting to slightly annoy me. It's not about their football judgement. It is all about how they ignore the leading team in the CFL with two Grey Cups under their belt. Everything seems written from the perspective of their opponents, and the analysis ignores so much of what actually went on in the games. I love Ed Tate and the bluebombers.com site. I find TSN more than adequate. But 3DN is shooting itself in the foot when they could be doing so much better, in my opinion. I do not know if anybody else feels the same way but I would like to know your opinions, if you have any.

he's a free agent too...we should make a nice push for him....piss of Rider faithful and why wouldn't he wanna come to a actual legit contender

It's hard to show anything when you're getting smacked as soon as you get the ball.

Harris being gone hurts for sure. But the difference in Oline play is a much bigger factor.

No, he wasn't. But there were additional factors at play.

Yeah Jefferson makes teams account for him on every play. He is a complete disruptive force to a quarterback regardless of whether he is picking up stats or not.

Agreed. I remember people claiming until about half way through 2019 that Willie wasn’t playing very well. He disrupts teams in many many measurable and immeasurable ways. Thst said, Biggie is still probably the MODP front runner and BA will be a huge addition when he gets back. HOFers at every level. Biggie and Willie are locks, and I think BA is one of the best safeties this league has ever seen.

I dunno, I think Jake has been getting better every year, his penetration on bull rushes is amazing. I think we need to start calling him "the angry fisherman".

I think part of Thomas having a knockout season this year has been the extra attention teams are paying to our DE's on the edge.

A friend who was in healthcare management at that time said that Doer only partially restored nursing staff levels, but better than it was before. Nursing staff levels are still not back to pre-Filmon levels.

I don't think this is incompetence. This is things going according to plan. Run public organizations into to ground to lay the foundation for privatization.

So would I- I am up to some 150 donations but cannot due to the meds I am on now.

I’m not usually one for gallows humour, but….oh, who’s kidding who, this is too good to pass up. My sincere condolences to his family, though.

Remember when people here criticized Riderfans for being an echo chamber where dissenting option was a fast track for being ganged up on and banned by the mods? Hopefully you are not suggesting that for this site with your comment here. Everyone is entitled to their take as Stickum rightfully said. And everyone should also be allowed to call out a differing opinion and be able to argue/debate/whatever you want to call it without it becoming a personal attack on the poster and not the post. And people who do have a post called out (as opposed to their personal character) should try not to take it so personally. Debate or “argument” is pretty much the basis of a message board, if you have a take that you think is valid, it should be easy to back it up with facts to convince the doubters, if you think an opposing take is nonsense, you should be able to call it out with contradictory facts as opposed to insults. And if something purely sarcastic is written, maybe a sarcasm emoji would help here. But I disagree that we all have to “fit in” with the same point of view or “**** off”, especially if the point is heavy on emotion/insult/snark and also light on logic, and disagreeing is not about telling others how we should act as a”true fan”, and I don’t think it should be looked at as such. As always, I welcome a spirited debate, and take no disagreement personally unless it is a personal shot at me and not my post. Those I just try to shrug off as best as possible, or at worst reply with a measured response of snark in kind. JMO.

It was last year.... pretty sure.

Are you implying that any of that is false?

I’ll catch you up. -Riders suck -Fajardo is a whiny loser -Riders are a dirty trashbag team -Dickinson is a whiny excuse-maker -TSN sucks -Schedule-maker is a joke, trying to sabotage the Bomber dynasty -Suitor sucks -Everyone at TSN is rooting against the Bombers, except Matt Dunigan who is the best they have -Did I mention that the Riders and their fans suck? So basically nothing new.

Fun fact. Duke has been paid $15,277 per catch or $865 per yard. Lawler is $7,500 per catch and $622 per yard. yeah I’m really bored.

Bye the way, I’m just joshin ya!

So then drop the smartest guy in the room act and have a debate instead of making not nearly as witty as you think snide remarks.

This wouldn't be so bad if Agudosi wasn't sidelined. Next man up! Hope Walters and Co. have a couple of aces up their sleeves.

Makes it very hard to pick a winner this week. Us, with our injuries or them with their illness issues?

MOS doesn't need to have an iron fist or yell around. He built a locker room culture where players play for and are policed by each other. FIFO..its the reason for MOS success.

Well, I am all in on that..... looks amazing.

Enjoyed your insight

Why are you so angry about it? I mean I get people can ***** and moan about a high pick on Mulumba who never played, but most of the top athletes from that draft were going to the NFL, they gambled on Mulumba being one who wouldn't get that shot. But why Bilukidi? He was a mid or late round pick that they took a chance on coming back from the NFL. Kyle Walters had take some of those risks too. Just what you have to do sometimes in the CFL draft. Not worth being angry about at this point.

I might be in the minority here, but I'll take this at face value. He's excited to play hockey on this team for 1 more year. Based on the off ice bullshit (dressing room, coach resigning, etc.) that the Jets went through, he's using this year as his measuring stick. If Bowness can right the ship, I do believe PLD would sign long term. The way I look at it, PLD was telling the Jets, hey if you want me, you need to get things fixed around here. That being said, this is a terrible way to do it, and just answer the question honestly. if you want to test free agency, then just say so. The team has enough drama, we don't need anyone else adding to it.
