The injuries are really starting to pile up on this team. Can't help but wonder if waiting so long for the bye is a problem or if that short week really took too much out of them.
-
I think it can be both. I picked up the love of football mainly from my friends in highschool but it's perfectly reasonable to think that some people get it from their parents. Everyone is different. The key is to get kids exposed to the game and they'll either develop and affinity for it or they won't. There will always be sports fans in the world, it's just a matter of making sure they watch the CFL.

Do you think Cheveldayoff is doing a good job?

Ehlers is a really interesting one for sure, if he was a few inches taller he might have been picked a lot higher than he wound up being picked. -
That's why this place is so great, I can combine all 3 into one glorious experience.

Hey that's unfair.... I like drinking a beer and watching football more than arguing.

Should We Load 8 Or 9 In The Box To Stuff Messam?

The bombers have used a double MLB set with Wild and Kuale (or Kromah the one game he was in) a ton this year, that isn't news. -
Braley turning into a slumlord for Argos

A new commissioner coming in and having to put out a fire in Toronto is pretty much par for the course. -
Braley turning into a slumlord for Argos
17to85 replied to Fatty Liver's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
The dirty little secret about the CFL is that comissioners serve at Braleys leisure so what's to say that Cohon isn't leaving because he took a stand against lord Braley? -
which is a one season missteap. The point still remains, new rider fans have no concept of hard times and as a result lack the humility of the ones who have been there a long time. They think Darian Durant and Weston Dressler are just the bees knees, don't have an appreciation for the great players in the league who came before. It's not your fault you're young, but that youth and inexperience means you don't know nearly enough to be taken seriously about much.
-
New jerseys doesn't cater to the youth, all it is is trying to sell new jerseys to whoever has disposable income to buy a new jersey. If you really want to get young fans into the CFL, and I do think that is the key goal, you have to make going to the games fun, your team has to have a presence in the community and you have to engage the kids. New jerseys don't do that.
-
if you guys want to welcome rider fans in you are welcome to. But here's the thing with new rider fans, it's not their age, it's that to them, a bad season is losing the west semi final. No humility because they have no concept of watching a crappy team, they're annoying as a result.

As soon as he starts to man up and run hard he'll be a fine running back, but as long as he keeps being tentative and run east/west too much I will be hard on him. Did you all see the way Volny ran? Just straight up the middle for positive yards. More of that is needed from Grigsby because unlike Volny he can actually hang onto the ball and not fumble it.
-
remember when these new jerseys came out and they said they listened to the fans to come up with a design?
-
because it takes time to grasp the playbook?

Better solution: run up the score in the first half so they're passing the ball then entire 2nd half trying to catch up. Seriously beating those assholes 52-0 is too good for them. -
just bite the bullet and wear white, they've worn white road jerseys right up until they got these latest ass ugly things.

I thought I read somewhere that he wasn't going to be taking another contract in TO....I'll try to find the linkIf Milo exits Toronto I suspect its either head coach in Montreal or OC in Wpg. Let the Als have Marcel B. - O'Shea and Milanovich would be kegs of dyno mite...... that said, still need significant personnel upgrades. Milanovich is pretty unlikely to take a coordinator gig at this point in time. Montreal does seem like a good bet. Yeah no kidding, he'd get a head gig no trouble if he left Toronto. Winning as a head coach will do that for a guy. If Milanovich left the Argos. I wonder which desperate fool would be stupid enough to take on that franchise. Marcel, Burke, Higgins....Kelly! Well he doesn't want the job but someone has to do it... perfect Burke situation.
-
Nope not the case. Unless you mistakenly think the run stopping problems are a personnel issue and not a scheme issue. And I do. Then you're wrong. We had the same defensive tackles with Tim Burke and run stopping wasn't a huge area of concern.

The rule book says the home team can't use electronic devices and large speakers to create noise. I don't think the other part about the crowd making noise has ever been enforced. Pretty sure piped crowd noise was used often at BC Place. Not sure if they are still doing that or not. That was years ago. And they aren't doing it anymore. Lol, cool. I remember in 2007 it just about broke into a battle royal leading up to the playoffs. Wally got into with Rider colour commentator Carm Carteri and everything. Good times! Let me guess Carteri was being an idiot

Cam't blame him for that, but he seemed to leave on good terms with the Bombers, here's hoping he wants to come back here.

The Remaining Schedule: One Perspective
17to85 replied to TrueBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I haven't seen a Western team, that we've played, that we can't beat. But haven't. Well they did kick BC around pretty good, and BC is the only team to beat the Stamps so far so therefore the Bombers are really the best team in the CFL. -
I don't see how he doesn't win at this point. McIver has just said some really strange things. As far as the general election goes I wouldn't be surprised to see the PCs pull it off again. Not sure people are ready to trust the Wild Rose yet given that they are close with the federal conservatives who are falling out of favour.
