The thing I don’t get with the Oliviera/Augustine comparison re: their stats and performance is that so many people seem to ignore they are stylistically two different backs being asked to do two different things. Johnny isn’t asked to get 3 yards. He isn’t asked to be in there to pass block. He’s a home run hitter and Brady is asked to slap singles and doubles.

Kadeem Carey among those not even at practice

Nobody cares that making a schedule for your dodgeball league is hard. This is a professional sports league where people can lose their livelihoods based on things like a win-loss record. Having such a slanted schedule for certain teams shouldn’t be acceptable and saying “it’s hard” isn’t an excuse. Professional football teams should never be playing 3 games in 12 days. Period. BC gets their last bye two weeks after we get our first. That shouldn’t be acceptable for either team. Look at how many teams play the last game of the week off a bye. It’s a joke.

Probably the last guy I was hoping we’d bring back

I’d be in favor of Younger for sure

Was thinking the same thing last night … dude had like 150 yards and missed one or two catches that are probably completions down the road

Zylstra Jr

Why don’t I get paid to write about the Bombers

Lawler is going for 100+ but we’re still winning by two scores or more

Well obviously these PR players wouldn’t then go back to their team I’m glad Fajardo is resting so he can heal up for Labour Day. I don’t want to face any other QB

My actual pick: Keon Hatcher

Even Saskatchewan fans are getting embarrassed at this point you love to see it

I’ll take whoever Al takes 😂

It’s incredible how much of a baby Fajardo is. They’re starting to turn on him in Riderville. I love it.

I wonder if Duke is tossed if this game isn’t the Touchdown Atlantic game. i bet he is

Special shout-out to that section 141 that hosts all the brand new Bomber fans claiming to be amazing super fans, yet don’t even know enough to shut up when the offence is in the red zone. @Zach Schnitzer maybe time to teach your friends a few things lol

Lmao it’s too easy

I’m gonna go with Carlton Agudosi

Because they’re legally obligated to, that’s really about it I would think.

I just don’t understand the Riders at all. I don’t understand their executives, their coaching staff, their players, their fans. None of it. All of this bullshit is self-inflicted but from listening to the fans, you’d think it’s some kind of league wide conspiracy to keep them from being the juggernaut they’re meant to be. Didn’t they voluntarily introduce some code of conduct that they continually fail to abide by? What other team has set themselves up for criticism by saying “we’re going to hold ourselves to a higher standard” then failing to come even close at every opportunity? This constant narrative the fan base tries to drive that “this would only happen to a Rider” when it comes to league discipline is also just ridiculous. I felt like wasting a bunch of time, so I looked up the history of fines and suspensions handed out for on-field incidents since 2019. Only did the regular season, since I don’t feel like skewing the stats in weeks where not all the teams play. In 2019, there was one suspension handed out. To Simoni Lawrence. For a play against the Riders. 53 fines, Riders were only fined 4 times. Players were fined for plays made against the Riders a total of 6 times. In 2021, there were 46 fines handed out for on-field incidents. Riders were fined a total of 8 times, including Marino twice. Players were fined for plays made against the Riders a total of 6 times. In 2022 so far, 6 fines handed out (week 5 stuff comes out tomorrow) and the Riders have yet to be fined but players have been fined twice for plays made against the Riders. That’s a total of 105 fines, 12 for plays made against the Riders and 12 against the Riders. One suspension, for a hit laid on a Rider. Where the hell is this league-wide conspiracy? That’s about as down the middle as can be. For this franchise to go completely silent other than a defense of an absolute piece of **** in Marino is really a sign of how tone-deaf they are and I’m sure all of their fans are going to lap it up and scream and whine about how the league is against them when Dinosaur Boyd or whatever that pylon’s name is only gets a fine for his hit on Robertson tomorrow. If any Rider fans are reading this right now, here’s what it boils down to: nobody is conspiring against you. There’s no bias, no leniency, no plot to hold you down. You guys are treated fairly by the league, your team and fan base are just hated because you preach this superior moral compass but at the end of the day, you’re all just a bunch of fake, hypocritical crybabies who don’t have a clue.

Unless something has changed, two games is the maximum allowable under the CBA. Incredible. Can’t believe he could be that stupid.

I’m just going to say it to make sure it gets said, because he takes a lot of (needless) criticism on here. Props to Duke Williams for stepping up and speaking up about the Marino hit and publicly saying it’s not okay. I hate to say it because I’d rather the Riders just be an absolute tire fire, but that’s a good sign of leadership they’ve been missing for a while. Good for him.

Classic go to the cabin for the week and black out and almost forget to make a pick I’m gonna go Ellingson

The Bombers really should be embarrassed with how they played tonight on offence
