BLM spent 2012 and 2013 in Calgary, starting 3 games due to injury in 2013. Then going into 2014, he was made the starter. Not the same thing.

Hey now, every circus needs a clown.

My key is this: score more points than Calgary because the stats show that the team that scores more points wins 100% of the time.

This is true but who have we beat that is good?

Hey now, I can believe that Streveler will lead us to a Grey Cup win, one day, perhaps in 2025.

Mitchell is currently on their AR.

We had Ricky Collins who has had some success in the CFL and RJ Harris who is having a decent season for Ottawa in camps for us and we cut them. Maybe our staff isn't good at evaluating WR?

He'll be productive now that he has game action? Look at his resume as a Blue Bomber, hasn't happened yet. But hey, keep hoping.

It does bring up a good question, can anybody recall this regime bringing in an impact player mid season? For example, Taman brought back Armstrong in 06 and Boldin in 07. Edmonton bringing back Walker last season. BC bringing in Awe.

Does that go, "I'd rather be a Bomber than a ******* RoughRider..."?

Sure O'Shea, sure Lapo, keep playing Lankford. Maybe the light bulb will click and he'll come through and maybe Adam Sandler will win a Best Actor Oscar.

Edit

Thompkins has 11 receptions for 180 yards which is a pace of just under 1100 yards for a full year. I'm fine with him. However if people aren't please share why?

Demski replaces JFG. Nik has 33 for 326 and 3 tds which is a 66 reception, 652 yards, 6td pass which is better than what JFG did last year and is better than anything JFG or Kolhert did in Winnipeg. Ryan Smith played 11 games for Winnipeg and had 53 catches for 488 yards and a td. Thompkins has 11 receptions for 180 yards and no TDs in 3 games. His current pace taken over 11 games would be 40 receptions for 660 yards. Case can be made that he's been more productive than Smith. Now could we use more depth so we don't have to depend on Lankford or even Dressler given his age and injury status, sure but the guys you mentioned aren't better than the players who replaced them.

Smith and Kolhert were not in Winnipeg in 2017. Seriously Google is your friend.

I disagree, I think Adams scares people. I think Demski scares them to a degree. I think our NIs are actually good with lots of upside.

Jon Ryan cut by Seattle. Time to bring him back to Winnipeg, lol.

So far this season, we have 183 points in the first half of games (20.3ppg) and 106 in the second half of games (11.7ppg). Those numbers seem to say Lapo can't or doesn't make adjustments.

None taken. I still maintain my original point. Rider fans have a way of showing up after a big win to gloat and act like douches. Not all, as an example Ripper posts throughout the year and I have no issue with him.

3RD AND 1 is showing why fans of other teams don't like Riderfans. The going on other team's fanboards and gloating after a win.

Was it Collaros or that D? I think their offense was solid (26 points) and did just enough but it was their D and ST with 14 points and relentless pressure on BLM and Co.

Calgary 7-1 Edmonton 6-3 Winnipeg 5-4 Riders 4-4 Lions 3-5 Things are just a little tighter and those early September games are going to be crucial for everybody. For us, we need to win 2 out of three versus the Riders.

Who? Williams-Lambert and Evans have been playing all year.

I felt that play by Collaros was a fumble and pretty similar to the one Matty did Friday but who knows with CFL refs.
