Eternal optimist

I know Lochard looked pretty good in limited action against the Riders, but is anyone else worried our run game will disappear if Harris doesn't start?

Someone always has to ruin it for the rest of us... sadly these incidents are likely more common than they used to be. I love my Bombers and feel I paid for my right to be loud, enjoy the game and cheer on the Blue and Gold, even some kind-hearted jabs at away team fans, but never to this extent. At the end of the day though, it's entertainment and it could be a Riders, Bombers or Montreal Expos fan for all I care everyone deserves a basic level of decency and respect from their fellow fans. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Gotta say TrueBlue4ever, I was kind of banking on most people not knowing what gerrymandering is. Thanks for calling my bluff.

Fun fact: Only two CFL teams have ever hosted a cross-over playoff game and lost. Kevin Glenn was the quarterback for both of those teams (Winnipeg in 2008 and Hamilton in 2009). This is also the only CFL record he holds. Nichols starts.

Go with the hot hand - it's Nichols' starting job to lose.

Does this mean the pick-6 Glenn threw to Moe Leggett in our win over Montreal a few weeks ago is now a touchdown pass?

Does anyone else feel the Bombers did this just so our D can beat the crap out of Willy come Friday? Is he projected to start? Oh the humanity...

Enjoyed your post, but I hate this statistic - I find it misleading. As interesting as it is that the Bombers hadn't swept a back-to-back series in such a long time, they have swept other series during that time span... in fact we've already swept our series with Hamilton this year (although it wasn't a back-to-back series). To me, it just seems like gerrymandering the numbers to falsely make the Bombers look bad.

HH goes to the fans... that place was bedlam yesterday.

Congratulations Riders on another losing season! Here's hoping you can continue the trend in 2017.

I would just like to take this opportunity to personally congratulate the Saskatchewan Roughriders on 2016 officially being a losing season for them. For you Rider fans that aren't very numerically inclined, that means you've already lost more than 50% of the games you'll play in this season...regardless of your game day attendance, Chris Jones rants, or being "Canada's team".

Bring a second laptop from home, hook it up to your works' network - best of both worlds... Bomber game streamed without the risk of being fired.

Cautiously optimistic.

Trade him back to the Riders.

This thread is entertaining, to say the least..

Maybe Sheppard had a bad case of the dropsies? As for McDuffie playing over Sheppard - the coaches made the best decision they could with the information available to them at the time. I'm just glad we hung on to Sheppard and hope he continues his strong play.

Has nobody told the Riders that money trees aren't a real thing?

Maybe this isn't the place to bring this up, but does anyone else feel that the whole east/west division should be abolished? I mean, there's only 9 teams in the league... why not just have the top 6 make the playoffs? It seems this cross-over thing is an issue every year, I know the counter-argument would be that it makes games against your own division more important... but doesn't it also make non-divisional games less important?

I find it even more appalling that the same fans waste so many watermelons.

For anyone else keeping track, Goosen also basically threw Harris into the endzone for one of his TDs against Toronto. Seems to be good at making heads-up plays.

My personal favorite was when they got penalized for too many men... that stuff never gets old.

Are you Nostradomus????

I'm just sayin' - Weston Dressler has never lost a LDC in his career.

I like your logic.

Alright well it's good to know the general consensus on here is that they are the real deal... thanks for the feedback everyone!
