I see us winning out actually

to me, it kind of sounds like he's admitting the label is accurate...

He seems surprised, like he doesn't know that they are (and have been) widely regarded as the dirtiest team in the league. They've been dirty for many years. How can you follow that team and not know that they are dirty?

Willy needs help, nobody has stepped up to replace Jeffcoat who was a handful to contend with on every play, the pass rush has become a secondary function.

Year after year, the Riders are the dirtiest team in the league. And their media is like, hur... dur... They deserve each other. Trash media for a trash fanbase.

It's not November, it's not our time to win in Hamilton. We lose this one but beat them in the West Final.

Hamilton runs the ball the second least in the league.

We always seem to play like **** in Hamilton. Hopefully the old Zach makes another appearance.

Lapo reviews all 6 TDs

I expect a much more difficult go than Edmonton, Bo playing some damn good ball. Tons on the line for both teams, potential West clinching game (with a Sask loss), should be a damn good one.

Much like the year he was the west nominee, it's the 2 sweetest words in the English language. De - Fault! Bo Levi is on too crappy a team, adams didn't play all year, Kelly missed most of the year cause he's an *******... Really the choice is simple: Brady. But people gonna use touchdowns as some kind of reason not to.

To his credit, at least he's acknowledging they're dirty. He didn't have to say anything at all or could have tweeted (x'd?) about a different subject. They are measurably dirty, about time he clues in.

And not just dirty, but all around garbage in human suits in general.

Agreed. If Bo-Levi gets enough time, he will pick apart even the Bomber defensive backfield. Flushing him out of the pocket would be a very good thing.

Hamiltons pass game has been maybe the best in the league. Their D however, has been the dead last in terms of total points, offensive points, tds, first downs and second worst in passing tds. While also giving up the second most passing and rushing first downs, 2nd worst 2nd conversion rate, a qbr against of almost 100, while being neck and neck with us in pretty much all run stopping categories. We are +7 on turnovers compared to Hamilton, +7 in big plays, while they have a slight edge in pass pro and pass rushing. If any secondary or D can slow down Hamilton, it’s us. And their D weaknesses line up very well with our strengths. I don’t think they can slow us down or shoot it out with us unless we play down to them. I don’t think we will put a 50 burger up again, but I think the play on the field with be pretty one sided in our favour.

I kinda prefer this version of our D. Over the years with Hall, there were times when they couldn't defend the pass if the DL was having an off day or consistently getting blocked. Now, the coverage is still good after several steam boats.

guess the label fits the team....bunch o' assbags

What!? Some fan you are. 🙂

Bell is banged up (ribs). He didn't practice Monday and was limited yesterday.

For the type of power runner BO is, it might be advantage Winnipeg.

I wonder if the water is brown if he will be surprised that people call it dirty water.

Every so often with Hall, the secondary would be lights out. Then you were like "where did this come from?"

The pass rush as a secondary function is as much by design as it is personnel driven. Younger is purposely sacrificing pass rush for coverage, to some pretty good results I might add. Yea, we are playing with little to no blitzing and few true pass rush 4 man fronts. Its giving us great results so far.

Yep. If me....70 games, start oct 1, cup final no later then may 31.

Pressure on BLM would be good, but the secondary is the straw that stirs the Bombers' drink.

Make the season even longer? Yikes.

Bo looked good in the 2nd half against BC Hopefully we can make him look like 1st half Bo The key against him has always been keep him from settling in the pocket and gaining momentum. Willie needs to be a factor, which he hasn't lately when playing Hamilton

Or trying to figure out what the toilet and shower are for in their hotel rooms....

Can't say it isn't well earned.

You're just lazy to find it https://www.bluebombers.com/2024/09/19/blue-bombers-add-to-practice-roster-2/

The CFL.ca transactions page is linked directly to the league office who does end of day updates on a daily basis The Bombers website is not updated regularly at all If a transaction has happened, it’s on the transaction page. POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT: this was (is?) how WinnipegGordo and I were able to “break news” or give people the heads up on team moves for years. After agents stopped wanting to share news in Twitter DMs and I got too old to go to parties with the players, the transaction page was the only way to find “news” ahead of anyone aside from being connected to the league office.

It is insane to me that Wallace is able to practise.

Some of Jone's stench still permeates there But u are right...they need to cleanse from top to bottom and expect at least a 2 yr metamorphosis. As much as they claim otherwise they had to settle for Mace...he was not their target and I truly don't think he has what it takes like Osh to turn it around there Also...had to settle for Dickie by default...due to Jones and even in last 2 yrs as well have had a hard time getting quality assistants and coordinators...Mueller is another example of basically settling for garbage. The stench there is over powering and until they replace O'Day and the doofus above him..who's name escapes me they will continue to be what they are...tho it's fine by me

The riders market is soo used to not being unlikeable, that they think every thing directed at them other than adoration, is hate. They’ve drowned in bias to the point they are incapable of realizing they have become every thing they hate most. Remember when zach was KO’d for them and they wanted a suspension that lasted as long as his injury? 2019 and prior they railed against dirty play and cheap shots as a fan base. Since then they’ve been historically bad offenders at the very same, and excuse that behaviour to a sickening extent. They need to can oday and bring in a high level culture setter. Reality is slowly setting in over there, and you see it in attendance. They haven’t made a gc in what 11 going on 12 years? In that time every team but bc has made a grey cup. They have run through coaches and players. Spent on trying to buy stars in free agency. All to no avail. And they remain the most penalized and punished team in the league. Yet they are married to oday and that toxic culture. Look at how much Edmonton improved once jones was gone.

That was also the first game the ticats had with ******* Jones at DC right. Maybe had an impact.

Nah. The first meeting of the year he went 14/28 220 yards and we didn’t pressure him then. It was close because that was maybe Zachs worst game of the year, and his last bad game. Milanovich will know he’s gonna have time, and both he and bo have film against us this year which gives them an advantage in prep. But at the end of the day, not running the ball plays into the hands of our D more than us not pressuring the pocket plays into Hamilton offence. Also, if we swap haba for fox and rotate the dl we probably see the best pressure front of the year.

and have been for yrs now

Garbutt has had the occasional flash... but nothing near the consistency of Jeffcoat... I agree that's it's nice our secondary can play well without a pass rush... but it bothers me to think how good the D could be if we had consistent pressure on the QB

Or even one penalty.

Indoor GC this year...could very well change that...

In 3 down football it is very difficult to nickel and dime your way to points. Don't allow large chunks of yardage on any given drive and the offence will not sustain many drives. It's too hard to maintain efficiency for any offence up and down a field 5 yards at a time when you don't have any margin for error. One broken play or one defensive good play and it's drive over. Any defence will give any team the short yardage stuff all day long and they won't get scored on very much. It's what we are doing so well this year. We limit the first down gains and force them to pass on 2nd down. Teams run around 50% efficiency on 2nd and long on a good day.

He'll definitely be curious about it.

I forgot to hit enter one week and lost 3 wins.

a part of me wants them to put it in Florida, why? two words: Florida Man https://deadline.com/2024/10/9-1-1-spinoff-abc-ryan-murphy-tim-minear-1236105133/

That kid is made out of some impressive stuff.

He did almost lead a Grey Cup winning drive against, arguably, a better secondary in the 2021 Grey Cup... key word, "almost"

So much fun. Lots of holes but exactly what it should be.
