  1. If you ever get a chance to see the one in Vegas (if it's still there) it's truly amazing. They have a massive chunk of the ship in one room, I'd say about 15 feet high and 30 feet long... it's super eerie.
  2. LeFevour was able to win ... So no excuses for this season.
  3. This always happens.. remember when Rider fans pissed on our cheerleaders. Always some idiots at any events with drinking.
  4. I always find discoveries like this to be very interesting. The Titanic exhibit in Vegas was amazing.. it would be awesome to do the same for this. Maybe change the human rights museum to more of a Canadian history museum and have this as an attraction.

    I wonder if he took a dive? The opening seconds were so bad that anyone who trained even a few times wouldn't of walked upright leaving themselves so open for a take down.
  6. Who said anything about drugs? I was just wondering if they were buddies?
  7. What a gong show in Regina... Taman was better then this...
  8. As much as I liked Willy.. I hope he does fail in Toronto just to finally see Noeller,17to85 and to a certain degree Mike eat crow and admit that Willy doesn't have it. Willy continued to regress during his time with us. The o line this season even at the start of this season was much better then the last few seasons and were getting better with each game. Willy at the end was holding onto the ball for way to long. He was absolutely terrible and it was mainly on himself. It's not like the o line magically clicked in one week... It was Nicholls making quick reads and getting the ball out which opened up things for the offense. It's funny that someone brought up Glenn having one great game and of you took his stats from that one game away then his numbers look mediocre. If you took Willy's stats when the opponent was laying back since the game was out of hand and took all his garbage time stats away from him...you would have Alex Brink like stats. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Bishop win more games for us in one season then Drew Willy ever has? All running a Mike Kelly offense where he joined us mid season? Willy succcccks and a lot of it is on himself...no excuses.
  9. This happens everywhere it's nothing new. Like someone said before it's liquid courage/foolishness. I've seen this everywhere. As for message board posters.. I remember on ob.com when one moron screamed during the moment of silence because he thought it was a good way to get the fans going.
  10. Franklin has to be at the bottom of the list or maybe above Cato.. has he even played a down this season?
  11. We got the return based on desperation and potential. We sold at the absolute best time. His value will significantly drop if he doesn't show anything in Toronto.
  12. Barely ever? Maybe a few times a game? With Willy his under and overthrows were easily over 50%. Mike and your self are exaggerating bigime. One time Dressler had to go back to get the ball...what about the three times the ball was dropped perfectly into his hand? What about Roosevelt having to make highlight reel catches by errant Durant throws? Nicholls isn't a world beater but after 6 games you can't pin it all on luck. He's way better then Willy and if Lapolice even decides to use Harris properly and calls better plays then maybe the TDs will increase.
  13. Oh come on now...had not for some bad drops Nicholas could of had 10 TDs. His accuracy also has been very good, as I said before... You can't blame him when the play calls are super conservative.
  14. Doesn't anyone else remember LeFevour would have one big game and then completely stink it up the next week. I'd say Durant and Reilly were much bigger tests against us...
  15. I can't believe people are unhappy with Glenn? He's played way better then Willy has in the last two seasons. The Als and Riders offenses were completely broken and he still managed to out up decent numbers. With Lapolices short pass offense and the improvement of our o line he should do really well here. Our QB depth definitely took a step forward today.
  16. Nichols is playing way better then Willy, I don't care if Willy had a reason to be scared and jumpy in the pocket. Anyone who watches the game can see that he makes much quicker decisions and his passes are accurate and rarely are uncatchable by the receiver. Go back and watch old games of Brink and Goltz and watch them skip balls to the receiver , this and last season Willy was floating them off the mark and/or putting it right into traffic where defenders can make the play. Even local homer fan boy Matt D was impressed by how Nichols was able to drop a pass beautifully into the arms of Dressler while 3 DB's closed in. If you want to point a finger on the lack of TD's... point them to dropped passes and horrible play calls by LaPolice. I complained about it in the chat and in the GDT.... when we are 2nd and 8 .... Lapo will call a 4 yard curl pass and hope that the receiver shakes the defender. When are and 2nd and 4.... he calls a screen pass where the receiver catches the ball at the line of scrimmage. When we play against a weak secondary (like Saskatchewan)... he rarely calls the mid - deep passing plays. It's frustrating to watch. When I watched Calgary last night when they were 2nd and long.... they would call plays where the receivers catch the ball over the first down line....
  17. He was completely gassed and out of shape but on his two plays for sacks he really did hustle.
  18. Isn't Fogg considered a rookie?
  19. I did read some messages saying that the GDT was being tinkered with... I imagine that it was worse during the actual game. If I was a Rider fan I would be placing the blame on Jones and the club. He's clearly in over his head and needs help both in acquiring new/good talent and for coaching the team. With a good starting QB they are not that far off from at least being competitive and getting some wins. It blows the mind that they want to get rid of Durant and think the refs are out to get them...

    CM Punk was completely embarrassed... even the Giant Silva showed more in his mma fights then that. That was nearly as bad as the James Toney fight... just brutal brutal stuff. Good way to embarrass the WWE... reminds me of the Bart Gunn / Butterbean fight.
  21. I just read Riderfans.... always a great read after they lose. What I learned: Durant should of been pullled by the 2nd quarter.... and then midway through the 3rd quarter he is worshiped once again. Rider fans HATE Matt Dunigan and claim that he and Black are huge Bomber homers... yet Suitor is not and makes a point of not being bias to the green. I found this hilarious since he is probably the worse and has turned it down this season only because they suck. In past years when they fielded good teams the guy was ridiculously bias. More fans are detaching from the green matrix and are waking up to realize that it's not the refs and that the coaches should be the ones to blame. Unfortunately a large majority still think that they are screwed by the league and somehow completely forget about the weak call on the Fogg return TD and various other calls that were completely obvious to anyone not wearing green. They absolutely hate Dressler now and think he's a cocky over rated jerk? They hate Kendial Lawrence even more and are planning to poop on his lawn. They are happy that the NFL is back and that they want to watch *real* football and that the CFL is unwatchable. Not one single post about a good move or play that the Bombers did... it was all screwed up calls by refs and one or two players on the green who messed up. They are starting to gang up on their own fans... the ones that have awaken from the green kool aid daze. It's a funny read if you have some free time....
  22. We had so many missed calls on blatant holds, lots of ticky tack calls on us... Yet we still won. No excuses on the Riders undisciplined and bad coaching
  23. Riders can't blame the refs on this one. We were screwed multiple times by them. That fake kick wad a terrible call and this falls completely on Jones. Rider fans should be outraged at him..not the refs
