To me the offense is still going to lean on Harris and demski and Adam's and thompkins will have to step up with dressler out. Lankford is just another guy on the offense. Don't **** up and maybe make a few plays and it's fine.

I dunno, Dressler is still our #2 receiver and has been making tons of plays for us. Yeah he is older and more fragile but guy can still play and is still a big contributer. This team just isn't likely to have any receiver put up insane stats simply because of how much they spread things around.

****** Mcadoo

Since Nichols took over the only team that's done more winning than the Bombers are the Stampeders, and they don't have a lot of Cups to show for it either, so forget O'Sheas overall record, that is heavily influenced by taking over a team that wasn't very good. This team is built to be a contender long term because they are using their draft picks wisely and have built some pretty good depth at the NI positions. That is what leads to long term success in the CFL. The Grey Cup will come eventually, no need to panic. Forget 1990, fretting over that is what has led to a lot of stupid hiring and firing decisions since that time.

Yeah and it really pissed me off cause there was no real reason for it, especially when they followed it up with him being same old Bond in Spectre.

so pure pig headedness. I believe this is Halls last season here but not as a firing, more of a riding off into the sunset kinda thing. Gotta admit though that the D is playimg pretty well so what's the problem?

Wasn't that the whole thing in Skyfall? which was a **** movie.

Talent gets you chances but work ethic and a good attitude are what gets you success. Carter will likely never understand that.

This is patronizing bullshit. The real compliment from opposing fans is when they hate our team because they always kick their teams ass.

Well they already went to their depth to get Thompkins on there, Lankford coming on for another injury isn't really a damning indictment of things. Guy isn't fantastic as a receiver but he can play a little bit and to be honest they way they like to use him he is the most natural replacement for Dressler cause they'll likely have him run the same plays Dressler does. I know he's the resident whipping boy but it's a move that really isn't that surprising given how the receivers have been deployed this year.

even if it's shown to be wrong? It's OK to say that Hall has stepped it up and got the D playing better. If you ignore what you see only to stick to your opinion you are just being ignorant.

Scares me even less with the guys throwing them the ball.

Trying to white wash history annoys me. Times were different back then, we shouldn't judge those people based on the ideals of today. Historic figures flaws and all created this country, we shouldn't hold them to todays standards and we shouldn't forget them, use their flaws to say they did great things but could have been better.

Would love to know why Thigpen was suspended, wasn't he previously suspended for performance enhancers? Now maybe it's something legit this time but god wouldn't it just kick the ant hill even more if it were another go round for doping?

This is the response? Thank you for completely proving what I'm saying. No one forces anyone to play in the CFL so how is it oppression? How about if you disagree with the protests you give me some legit reasons why it's bad that people are exercising their right to free speech. Just because I am a white Canadian doesn't mean I don't have eyes and ears to see what's going on. Some players are using the platform they have to bring attention to the differential treatment of people of different races, and if you don't think different groups get treated differently then you really aren't paying attention. Just because you're old doesn't mean it's OK to be racist. But her emails tho amirite?

as the ***** in chief is proving down south, plenty of political opinions are racist.

post racist **** I call you a racist.

Oh come off it. The protests are totally fine, only people who have something against them are the folks who are upset that black folk dare to speak out about how they are treated.

Hey if you like being patronized you keep on doing you, but it's disrespectful and I won't tolerate it. I don't need green filth coming here telling me the bombers are a good team, I already know they are. Idiot.

2 and a half years into the Walters/O'Shea era yes the record wasn't great, but it was after a 1-4 start in the 3rd year that they went on a 7 game win streak I believe and have never looked back. Here is the difference, yes the Bombers started out awfully, but they were starting with nothing and worked slowly building up their NI depth, which is what has allowed them to turn into the team they are today. In his 2 and a half years in Saskatchewan Jones has obliterated that teams Canadian depth and wasted draft picks like it's going out of style. It's a complete fabrication to pretend that the Riders are in a better position now than the Bombers were at the same point in the rebuilds because Walters was actually building with an eye to long term sustainability, Jones is throwing **** at the wall hoping something sticks. He's treating that team the way Mike Kelly treated the Bombers, the difference is that the Bombers were smart enough to only give Kelly one year to **** things up. Mike Kelly managed to get a few wins, but he was in no way setting the team up for any success long term.

The Riders were a **** team for ages, like complete tire fire, but they had a small die hard fan base, then when thing started to improve for the team the national media started a great big circle jerk about how super duper awesome Rider fans were (and the fans at the time were). This led to everyone and their dog jumping on the bandwagon pretending to be a life long die hard Rider fan because it was a way to validate their shitty choice of living in Saskatchewan. Nothing more annoying than bandwagon jumpers pretending to be huge fans. I have respect for the actual die hard Rider fans, but the people who hopped on the bandwagon when it was cool have made the fans of that team absolutely insufferable. The fact that TSN is fully on board with the Rider circle jerk is even more nauseating. Go read the pre-season prognostications, tons of people completely writing off the Bombers despite their record over the past few seasons while expecting big things from the Riders who have been and continue to be a **** team over the same span. They are awful people and not even real CFL fans. Most of the posters on this site are not only Bomber fans but CFL fans in general, Rider fans are just trash that deserves to be treated as such.

Other than missing a bunch of deep balls against Hamilton (which had always been the weak part if his game while here) I think Nichols has been just fine since coming back from injury.

Really makes you wonder where all the real conservatives went... all I see are racists or social justice warriors these days. Where are the pragmatic common sense politicians?

Everyone knew Montreal was a tire fire, some people actually thought Sask wasn't going to be one and that makes it a bigger gong show.
