I'm not ragging on Buck for any of that. I'm ragging on him because despite all of that, he was still a shitty QB.

And some of those Rider fans will also say their offense and play calling sucked while begrudgingly giving the Bombers D some credit. Go on Riderfans & see what they are saying. Very little credit to us. That's not what I've been reading at all.

^^^ VERY interesting

I specifically remember two beautiful plays in coverage that Suber made to break up completions. Normally if you don't notice a DB, it's a good thing but those two plays stood out to me for sure.

Saskatchewan had two different "cuts" of their jerseys last year. It looked pretty stupid.

Why should I be disappointed to see Buck go? He'll still live here in the offseason, he's a homeowner with a Winnipeg business and a Winnipeg girlfriend. All the good stuff he brings to Winnipeg will still be here. And now he's gone from our football team. That's a win-win in my books.

I hope BC traded for that god awful Danny's Whole Hog franchise too.

Even though I say it every time it comes up. Can we PLEASE use these royal blue uniforms on a permanent basis?! Is there anyone out there that honestly thinks THIS is better than THIS

I meant to say this too. Suber played unreal tonight. But then again, he has dreadlocks.

If Buono wants to give us incredible value to take a jab at a guy who didn't like the player he traded for anyways, that's great.

Or Watson. Very possibly. I'd hate to lose him but ... if you can shore up the OL, he IS getting older.

You're right, Terrence Edwards is strictly 100% honest about pleading for flags. He just gets held EVERY time the ball is thrown his way.

Gotta think Poblah would be the guy on the move.

Gotta think this is the precursor to a NI REC for NI OL deal perhaps.

Walters is doing his best to make a push for that full-time gig and quite honestly, the idea that he was able to turn Buck Pierce into a return greater than an old football and a tackling sled is making me think he might just be able to do it.

what in the actual ****

to do what? Go work as a greeter at Walmart? Seriously, this sounds just plain silly. I don't know, I'm just passing along what I was told. Sorry.

Where'd you hear this? Official line is that he had another NFL opportunity Same person that told me he signed. I hope it's not true, but I don't see how suddenly a day into the NFL season there's interest in a 29 year old pensioned, high min salary guy who's been out of the league for two years.

Too many issues on the team, not a good environment for him. Chose to leave.

Hahahahahaha wow.

Glad they finally announced this, although I didn't know they would be adjusting the CIS eligibility as well. That's very interesting, although it makes this draft year confusing because they're essentially going to be combining 2 years of CIS eligibility into 1 in the 2014 draft if I understand things correctly.

Why with each passing week? What is happening here that is making you think this way? That's what I didn't quite get either. What were people expecting? A weekly presser to update fans on the goings-on of their GM hunt?

I looked back at 2012. Elliott won 2 games for us. 2 games. One over Hamilton and one over Montreal. Buck won 2 games (Hamilton/Toronto), Goltz won the last home game against Montreal and Brink won that fluky game over Edmonton. I honestly think the legend of Elliott as this "game winner" for us has been largely over-blown. And in terms of excitement, that excitement he provided in the LDC and the away game against Calgary last year had me bent over a toilet puking, and it wasn't because of how drunk I was (though that helped). I don't care what anyone says, a shitty defensive stand in the final 30 seconds vs. BC and an awful coaching decision vs. Saskatchewan cost Joey Elliott two wins. He did enough to win those football games. Did he win? No, but he had the lead with less than a minute to go in both of those games and even that is a lot more than anyone on our roster can say currently.

worth pointing out ... he's never done it when we're losing
