As much as I would like you to be wrong and hope you are, I couldn't help feeling walking out of the stadium that it may be not quite as loud next week. Won't change anything for me as I am a diehard.

Ok...... I got nothin' -
Calgary was tops in league for points for 586. 56 field goals equals 29% of the points they scored. Bombers 5th in league with 497. medlocks 60 field goals is 36% of the points the Bombers scored
-
They are done because you would be hard pressed to find a Canadian to play tackle never mind two of them
-
Ridgeway is a rider legend. But sadly his best years were when we were horrible at scoring. a kicker shouldn't be kicking 59 field goals in a season
-
Most teams start 3 and ideally would love to start 4 if they could. That's what made Heenan so valuable and Makowsky in his day.

I really liked both Tull and Pettway. I think someone will have a look at Tull -

I would suggest that paying the kicker more than a Canadian O-lineman would be a very poor idea. Likely in the high 100's or low 200's for a quality starter with experience. You are willing to pay more than that for a kicker? Like Medlock, no arguments at all. The question is what is he worth? My team has had these crossroads with a couple of proven starters in the last 2 years. Dressler at 240k and Chick at 260k. Where does one draw the line? Interesting conversation to have for sure. The good gm's make it work somewhere else I guess
-
I was definitely one of the ones that thought you paid way too much. The fact you had to renegotiate the contract before the end of the season only proved my point didn't it? For any reasonable amount, no question Medlock is as good as anyone in the league and better than most.
-
I'm not a Carter fan myself. In fact I'm banned for referring to him as a jackass and a idiot.
-
Chick is the one we have missed. Durant would have been nice to keep for one more year. Dressler we have not missed at all.
-
I never saw it. What did it say.
-
I think we all can agree that Dressler was pumped to play us. He married a girl from Regina and I'm sure he thought he would play out his career here. He'll want to stick it to us every game for the rest of his career I imagine. Or at least as long as Jones is here
-
Get your facts straight. Dressler was let go because he was making 240k and isn't worth that much. Secondly we aren't missing him at all. If Dressler is playing for us on Saturday, nothing changes. He was so wide open on those plays, any of your other receivers makes the same plays. Is he good, yes. Are we losing sleep because he isn't here, not in the least..
-
Morris who should have been cut because he couldn't hold onto the f'n ball last year coughs it up at our 10 yard line. The air sucked right out of that building
-
He has none with me. I've seen enough. I'm sure he will get the whole season minimum. Sad reality is there is no coach to replace him on the staff. They are all his buddies. Have to be a offseason change in order to replace them all. Macadoo would be first to go. When you are up 2 touchdowns with couple minutes till half time wtf are you doing going deep into double coverage. A running game for the riders early and the result changes in that game.
-
We had you down and out when it was 17-3. We had all the momentum, I thought we had it. Lack of killer instinct again from Jones and we let you up off the floor. Once Nichols got going I knew we would lose. Dressler was so wide open that seeing it on tv doesn't do it justice. I was closer to him from the stands than the guy covering him. Embarrassment. Tough one to take for the fans. I mean the real ones that don't miss a game and support this team.
-
Well guys. Congrats on the win. We cheered our asses off and came up short. I'm really disappointed but am not going to cry about it.

I like that we have you guys at home and you haven't played a game yet. If we score first it will be loud. Hope we open the stadium on a good note. It will be a good game. Good luck guys -

Things turn ugly for Jones if we go 0-3. Back to back at home. His job will be on the line soon. -

I held up my part of the bargain, drank beer and watched game yelling and swearing at tv. Riders did not hold up their end. This week i'll be doing it live. God we need a win. Safe travels to any of you coming down for the game
