Cortez is not the problem in Regina, you know what is the problem? Outside Dressler the receivers were horrible for the Riders. The run game was the only thing that worked. Durant was able to do just enough passing and avoid turnovers which allowed them to ride the defense to wins early, but without just enough from Durant the Riders offense was too predictable and easy to stop and as usual offenses pick up in the back half of the CFL season and you can't ride the D all year. What happened in Saskatchewan was exactly what everyone here told you would happen because it was obvious to anyone who didn't wear green coloured glasses.

Yea, should be single vote. Seems a lot more accurate that way. Of course you did, you're a worthless rider homer. So now you're going to take potshots at me over a stupid poll? Come on. yes, seriously for the bitching you like to do about the pot shots you sure enjoy the trolly type comments like that one. You don't want potshots taken don't come in acting like a Rider homer.

How is buck supposed to teach a guy to not trip on defenders finger tips or pick the right gap at full speed? Trick question, he can't. Both of those key failures are on the RB.. He either has the power to run thru pinky fingers or he has the vision to see the holes made by oline.. Because he's the COACH...that's his job...to teach him to stop the bad habits and how to do better job at playing their position. What the heck do you think the coach does "oh just go out there and do what you do...". No, they teach them how to stop doing the stupid things and how to be better at what they do. To be fair Grigsby did get a bit better at dropping some of the bad habits from his game... but there's only so much you can do with a player who is unwilling to play like a man and would rather quit. None of us can judge Pierce, his position just isn't one that lends itself to the general fanbase having any idea about. Grigsby I just think was what he was and no coach was going to make him a better running back.

Of course you did, you're a worthless rider homer.

That is what makes him great, certainly not an idiot.

Tell him that as a western team again the Bombers are a good place to give a "**** you" to BC by beating them again and again and again

Could definitely look at picking the carcass there for some coordinators here

I wonder what the sack total might have been if we had an offensive coordinator who understood the importance of keeping his qb upright.

Why is it that when Messam changes uni's he looks great for awhile then disappears. I think we'd be better off sticking with Fitzgerald and bring him along. Fitzgerald is another wasted pick from Mack. Even his LS'ing is not good when the Bombers need replacement when Wild was injured. We need someone that D will respect when he has the ball. Messam might not be as explosive during his first year but how many times did he burn our D this year? Agreed. Fitzgerald is not a rookie and has not been for some time. He needs to come to training camp with the expectation that he will either show more than he has or be gone. He has shown a few flashes of promise,but after awhile that is not enough. How is he supposed to show more when the offense barely uses the TE/FBs on the roster? It might have something to do with the OC's and the QB's confidence in him too. Or how about the fact that offences in the CFL these days runs mostly a 1 back set and the FB/TE is only a situation position and used sparingly as a tendency breaker and nothing more.

I am glad I'm not the only one. I mean sitting around playing golden eye or mario kart was always fun, and still is, but this sitting by yourself playing against or with people you don't know at all over the internet is just weird. Sometimes I just want to play a good solo game but it seems that those games are few and far between because everyone has to jump on board the multi player bandwagon.

Keep em coming, love all the extensions so far. Now do Wild.

It's cute how important you think you are. you have NO idea... They probably laugh to each other and mock us while sipping champagne and eating grey poupon. For the record, Noeller has the ego about these things, I'm just a simple ******* who likes to argue with people and say stupid things. You made a spelling error. I fixed it for you. Impossible, I don't make errors

I haven't played many games in several years but I was wondering, does anyone else feel like there is too much emphasis these days on the online multiplayer aspect of gaming?

damn you with the capital letter in Jersey, I wondered what the **** New Jersey could possibly have to do with the Bombers.

The stat I like about Crompton is that he threw six picks in his first three games but just three picks in the eight games since (including the semifinal) The guy has cleaned up his game real nice. Whether it's the coaching making the game simpler for him or him just making better decisions, that seems like a pretty impressive turnaround. Also, Montreal beat Calgary pretty bad in the back half of the season. Their turnaround wasn't all a mirage. but was that not a game in which Calgary wasn't playing BLM and Cornish?

ahh the rallying cry of the loser. Sorry but that's just not true. Edmonton won the game by doing just enough to win. I know you're trying to put a positive spin on things, but your team was outclassed yesterday bottom line. Being positive??? Basically saying my team sucked ass isn't being positive. But Edmonton did not play well. Disparaging the opposition and taking the attitude "well we only lost cause we played poorly that's all" is trying to put a positive spin on things. In classic Rider fan tradition, doesn't matter what the other team does, it's all about us!!!!

A team with Kevin Glenn at qb was in consistent? You don't say...

I disagree...as defacto OC in 2002, he showed quite a bit... 2000 no? 02 was PLOPs first year and I believe 01 was Worman?

It's rarely the big splashes in free agency that really pay dividends in pro sports these days, more often than not it's the unheralded free agent signings that really work out best.

No I don't think so, there's good coaches in the CFL from both sides of the border.

I think the international defensive backs are on a completely different level than the national ones that that is the biggest difference going. Hell the entire defensive unit for the internationals is probably too good compared to the nationals. Offensively I agree (qb aside) that it's closer than people might think, but defensively I think it's a huge edge to the internationals.
