No yards against the riders on the fumble

Hey, you’re probably right ‘bout that, at least with some. Tho I really try to avoid that sorta bs. On the other hand, at least Blue fan arrogance comes with a team that’s made 4 straight cup appearances. Doesn’t excuse it, but at least not as inexplicably insane, imo.

The riders are full marks for their record, you are what your record says u are, as Milt likes to say. That means the riders are better than the bombers (to date). And much improved. Whereas the Blue have taken a step back. That said, the Bombers seem to be improving. If the trend continues and they get Lawler and a few other pieces back…well, don’t look up now but that may be the drone of planes bearing down on Riderville and the air raid sirens are certainly going off over there! Or maybe not. Too early to tell. We absolutely agree there! My point was simply about the attitudes of a good number of your brethren on RF. Yeah, enjoy your success, but maintain some basic humility, eh? And just what’s with all the toxic hatred of MOS? Juvenile, and really smacks of bitter sour grapes. Just coz he has presided over your demolition for 4 yrs running?! I mean, u can hate him cuz he’s good, but calling him a POS every week? Grow the f up.

Agree with this 100%. Still, pretty funny to watch the tone on the Rider board utterly transform from absolute braggadocio and arrogance to “the sky is falling” and “remove all sharp objects” in less than 48 hours! 🤣 it’s their fans certainty of the Riders VAST superiority over their prairie rivals about a third of the way thru the season (AFTER getting their asses ROYALLY handed to them by the Blue for 4 straight years) that’s esp amusing.

Got that one right

Yeah. Just listened to the Ambrosie clip. I agree that his way of thinking about the purpose of the command centre is absolutely absurd. He’s saying that if you have to look at it in a slow motion to detect an error then it shouldn’t be called an error… what would be the point of a command centre if you cannot slow it down to find things that are missed calls? Esp calls that change the outcome of the game. I understand why the standard is “irrefutable“ (and “clear and obvious“ also works), but the idea that you shouldn’t be able to slow it down to get to that conclusion defeats the entire purpose of video replay! The way he is thinking about it leads to what just happened in this game. And it’s only possible impact will be to make people furious.

Thot he made a contribution on those quick outlet passes, got good first down yardage on a number of those

Esp since Zach is not lighting it up

Like the call. Bad spot bottom line. Closer than it should’ve been but he got there. Btwn that and the non-call PI, refs have huge impact on the outcome.

You know, not so much an excuse as it is an empty refrain. I mean, in a sense they’re right… If they stop fumbling the ball they win these games. It’s just it rings very hollow when it keeps happening over and over and over again. Demski in particular is mind blowing. I mean, just what would it take to convince you to thoroughly tuck the ball under your arm or even in both arms? How many times would you need to fumble in these dramatic ways before considering a change in your approach? Nic, we don’t need another three ******* yards, we need you to hang onto the ball!

I dunno, man. Missed 2 pressure kicks, end of half and again in OT. Not pro level. No excuses. huge contribution to the loss.

They better not get this call

Bighill. Big stop. Just sayin

Does the dude think he’s playing ******* flag football?!!!!!!!

Oh my ******* god, demski!

Kinda speechless. You know, u don’t wanna be that tinfoil hat guy about T.O. but really can’t explain that’s any other way.

Futility.

In Germany for the Euros. Hey, my son's a "football" (i.e. soccer) fan. So - being over here - unable to watch the game. Did just watch the recap. And the post-game presser with O'Shea. O'Shea. What can you say? Well, one thing would be when things are good, they're good, and - for four years - they've been really good. So when we're going like that we'll forgive all the oddities. But when things are bad, wow, they're bad. And when they're this bad he really shouldn't be chuckling at the start of his interview. And then several times after. I know his thing is to "protect the culture" and so never admit the gravity of your situation. But, as I say, that wears thin quick when you're 0-4. Also, could someone please tell me what the references to the pre-season/training camp are all about? What exactly was the issue there?

He said exactly this in the post game.

Couture wanted to go home to BC. At least that’s what someone told me… That’s his home province.

Can someone please update me on what happened in training camp? Like guys show up late?? In terms about of being concerned about first place, I think you may need to downgrade your expectations. I truly felt, even before the debacle of the last two weeks, that, as a lot of you have pointed out, the bombers have been resting on their laurels and getting old and slow. I really felt they were due for a come down to earth season this year and well… So far it’s looking that way. Zach in particular has been on a downward trajectory, albeit a slow rather than dramatic one, for a while… Under throwing people, overthrowing people, no escapability, not getting the ball out soon enough … Happy feet getting sacked more etc. etc. and not exactly a big game playoff performer in the last number of years.

Very disheartening. Really doesn’t have the escapability anymore. Also happy feet. No need to panic and tuck the ball. What… are u protecting it on 3rd down with game on line? You’re gonna “take the sack” there? WTF

True. Still, the jets have won more reg season games than any other Canadian team since their return in 2011. And none of those other squads have done much better in the playoffs. and when you add in the fact that Winnipeg is the least desirable market for free agents in the NHL… Well, it just helps to keep perspective.

Hey, I get it. But please… reconsider. I still want the team!

Wow. So disheartening.
