Defense has been outstanding for the most part the last month and a bit. I think that'll be the key to this team's success come playoff time, as it's more likely than not they'll be on the road.

Hands down the most unstable, insufferable fanbase in the CFL. Bombers on four-game win streak: "They're just lucky." Bombers blank the Riders: "Riders didn't show up. It happens. All teams lay eggs." Riders were an absolute pile of dog turds today: "Lucky Bombers. This game proves nothing. 1990!" And then having the audacity to call O'Shea a classless ****. Uh, do you know who coaches your overrated team? Garbage fans through and through.

Can't win or lose with any class whatsoever. Today exemplified that perfectly. Crazy talented but a pile of garbage otherwise.

It suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure was!! Blanked.

Outstanding thread. Unlike the Riders' performance today.

A conservative, old, shady rich guy with a murky past goes on the NP to defend the conservative, old, shady rich guys south of the border with equally murky pasts...?

More than enough of those were earned but the Predaturds were by no means angels last night. That was a sickening display across the board.

You are so rattled it's adorable.

Next, next, next man up. Yeesh.

The old adage: it's not how you start but how you finish.

Sure... Because drought jokes are so original and witty. And by no means overplayed.

We get it just fine. You've done nothing in this thread but misconstrue others' comments and respond with cherry-picked nonsense and useless ****-posts, moving your goalposts as you go on. You don't necessarily need all three phases to win; we've seen as much over the years with several teams during the regular season. However, balance obviously helps, especially come playoff time.

You can live with being obtuse and a ****-posting troll...? A measure of a good and efficient offense is points scored. Despite a marginally lower average TOP, the Bombers have scored way more points (429 >> 302), more TDs (44 >> 22), put up more yards (5433 >> 4886), and more first downs (336 >> 265), and less 2 & outs (69 >> 86).

By 26 seconds... LOL

You weren't suggesting anything with your asinine comment. Expecting a fan to explain management's decisions is also pretty dumb... Explain to me why you think anyone here would be able to answer that question. Also, Harris isn't the team's leading or "main" receiver but as the offense goes, you bet he's a leader. Of course I'd love a better receiving corps. But the team stood pat yesterday and that's that. Would another all-star receiver help? Maybe. Nichols has been mostly awful this season, so who's to say if another receiver would even make a difference. We saw how putrid Bowman was here. I mean, go ahead and ignore the fact the Bombers have the top scoring offense and the fact the run game becomes even more crucial now that the cold weather is upon us. Should I ask you to explain why your team can't hire a better OC, find O-line talent, can only retread tailbacks the NFL chewed up and spit out, and has to rely on its defense to win games because the offense is arguably the worst in the league despite some pretty talented receivers? You seem to have nothing better to do with your time than troll an opponent's forum and make useless ****-posts. That's definitely on you and you're not fooling anyone.

There's certainly a ton of fear-mongering as far as this subject goes. The reality is we, as tenants of this planet, can and should do a much better, more responsible job of caring for this planet. At the end of the day, we'll be the ones to suffer the consequences of whatever happens. The Earth will go on with or without us until our star expands and engulfs the inner planets in some 5 billion years or so.

I mean, sure... let's just ignore the fact Harris is second in rushing yards (by all of three yards despite ten less carries than Powell), second in YPC, and first in rushing TDs by a tailback. Oh, and he's on pace for a career season in rushing yards and games with 100+ rush yards in a season. Oh, and he's on pace for his lowest receiving yards total since joining this team and would be the second lowest of his career. Oh, and also his lowest receptions total since joining this team. You make some dumb comments here but that one there is hands down the dumbest one you've made yet. Why let reality get in the way of moronic ****-posting, right?

The CFL isn't a popularity contest. A decade of moderate success and Rider Nation's collective humility went out the window and was replaced by conceited braggadocio and rampant homerism. And then the arrogant proclamation the Riders are "Canada's Team"... Comical. Maybe Rider Nation is "Canada's Fanbase" but that's about it. Hell, you greenies aren't even the loudest fans. Thanks, TSN. I guess geography isn't your forte, either. What "whole bunch of cities" the size of Regina have NHL teams?

Is that an actual question? Try punctuation next time. And no, why would I be? There's a NHL team here in Winnipeg - a pretty good one. How's that professional hockey team in Regina doing? But I digress. Congrats on winning two championships in that 27-year span. One against a daisy fresh rookie QB your team could only beat by a measly four points and the other where The Napkin Bandit mortgaged the team's future to get it. At the end of the day, the Green Machine is still the most inept CFL franchise in Canadian history. But hey, at least it's "Canada's Team," the same idiotic moniker a certain fanbase in Toronto labelled its NHL team.

I took the skunkbait!

Uh, not in the 2016 WSF. Last year's WSF? Perhaps. But just like a year prior, it was the defense that collapsed and gave up a lead in either game.

It's clearly just trolling at this point, beating the same pile of horse bones into dust.

By your horribly flawed logic, other high salaried players on this team aren't worth their salaries, either - because they didn't win in the playoffs. That's not how it works, though. How many more times do you have to trot out that invalidated narrative? A win is a team accomplishment and while Nichols has been terrible to mediocre at best this season, he did more than enough in 2016 and 2017 to contribute to this team's success, especially in the playoffs. You seem to ignore the stats whenever they're posted, so here they are again: 2 GP, 61/88 (69.3 COMP%), 761 yards (380.5 YPG), 5 TDs. From an individual standpoint, those are the kinds of numbers you need from a QB come playoff time. Furthermore, had he maintained his level of play from the previous two seasons (among the best pivots in the league), he'd certainly be earning his salary in 2018. But the reality is not the case and the WFC will have a hard decision to make looking ahead to 2019.

SJ Green would've been a solid rental. He's always clutch in the post-season.
