I also think Collaros is amped from the way the CFL media keeps talking about Rourke as the real MOP of the league this year & not him. Like he doesn't even deserve to be on the same field together. I think Collaros is highly, highly motivated wanting to prove idiots in the media like Glen Suitor & Danny Austin wrong. Austin had publicly said on Twitter that he voted for Rourke. We know Suitor probably has as well. I think Zach feels disrespected. Even though he has nothing to prove, I think he feels he does.

Even with Rourke back they looked like they couldn't beat us.

Hey, thinking about the Rider fans today....

"We choose to win championships. Not because it is easy but because it is hard."

I think winning 4 is going to be extremely hard. Some of our core players are aging. It'll all depend upon who Walters signs & recruits. Who retires & who doesn't. can he replenish guys that retire? My goal as a fan for this team is 3 & then hope for 4.

If we win a 3 peat, O'Shea gets a statue. He better.

Keeping Rourke's foot elevated the entire game. Yeah, he was ready to come back tonite. Right.

Overall, the best defensive performance this season. They looked like the defense of 2021 tonite. Our offense with everyone back will be LIGHTS OUT.

The other question is, Will Rourke be able to walk tomorrow??

Man, the revisionist historians that we have...

Well, if Rourke comes in all rah rah then he'll get an attitude adjustment at some point. he needs his agent to watch out for him. Pro football is a business. They'll chew him up otherwise. He has to make decisions with the future in mind.

Yes Booch, we'll hear about Rourke's heroics all ******* game long. Coming back early, All the hard work. In the words of Kor, the decorated Star Trek Klingon warrior, "It will be GLORIOUS!!!"

Suitor is one of the main reasons attendance is down & why people think the CFL is junk. How can anyone take what he says as anything more than annoying background noise?

So, if he won't stay in BC for $600,000 a year & is looking at millions in the NFL as you say then why is he willing to risk it all tonight for $70,000 CDN?

Of course it's ambiguos. That wat TBurgess can muddy the water any way he wants.

The only reason Rourke has hardware in his foot is because one or more bones have shifted & need to be put back in place. It takes nine months for a bone to heal with hardware in it, according to my orthopedic surgeon. I have hardware in my left foot from arthritis surgery in 2012 where my bones had also shifted. I had to wait 9 months for my foot bones to heal before that could be done. It's Mother Nature. The healing process is what it is. It may be sped up a bit by specific treatment, perhaps. However, as I've also been told by a surgeon, the healing time of a bone is a minimum of 9-12 months. Before the second surgery to take the hardware out. That's no picnic, either.

And give just a slight twist. He ain't legit.

Well, we all know that you'd certainly never take the Bombers.

Just. Go. Away. You're just a pest.

Once his rookie contract is over, the Lions can pay Rourke whatever they want.

I go back to 1968 watching the Bombers in person but I don't know if talking about attendance that long ago has any relevance to today. I do remember a crowd in 1970, the last regular season game of the year where only 8,000 fans showed up in a cold rain/snowstorm. In 1968, only 12,500 showed up at Winnipeg Stadium in a late season game in October vs Ottawa.

Sorry but if Rourke isn't healed & he plays anyway then whatever happens he deserves it for being stupid. The entire Lions organization will look really bad. He needs a a big run stopper on the DL to help him. He's been exposed this year as the backs are coming right at him. Stepping into the hole every game takes its toll.

The Stamps OL are pretty good. They played with the Riders Front 7. We'll see how he does. Remember he plays 15 minutes in a climate controlled dome. If they beat the Stamps they'll have to come back to the winter elements here Nov 13th. Running on a frozen field can't be good for a cold foot that isn't healed yet. And there's no way Rourke's foot is fully healed.

He's doing well as a financial advisor so I don't think he'll get into coaching. Maybe when his son plays.
