Yeah I don’t know what happened to the ST but also when was the last time the Bombers tricked a fake punt or field goal? I know you can’t use it all the time but when O’Shea first came to the Bombers his ST gimmicks kept us in a lot of games, now we can’t cover kickoffs/punts, we don’t have a capable returner besides Grant, there’s no creativity, and really we’re quite lucky we were able to get Castillo because he’s been one of the few bright spots on ST, otherwise this unit as a whole has been very different then some point past O’Shea coached teams.

Funny how the Rider fans have this weird obsession and conspiracy theory that the refs favour the Bombers for some reason. Almost every game day thread there they talk about it. Jealous much. But in all fairness when we had some lousy teams I know there was a lot of talk about how the refs were never on our side haha! Funny how that works.

Okay and you guys were 4-14 back to back years in 2018 and 2019. What’s your point exactly? How is that relevant to the team now?

Pretty embarrassing I can find my beer league hockey stats from 2008 but have a hard time finding stats from previous CFL seasons.

That o-line in 05 was absolutely horrible as well. Who knows what could have been. Getting Khan and St.Germaine in the disposal draft from Ottawa really helped turn around our offence the following season but that was tough to see Tee Martin just get smacked around on every play.

Nothing against Tyrell Ford but it’s still crazy to me that Ford got an NFL opportunity but Schoen couldn’t even catch on with an NFL squad. Oh well, I’m perfectly okay with another year of dominance through the air.

The Bombers did a few things that off season that would really shape the current culture that we have today. Taking the intern tag off of Walters and bringing in Danny Mac and Ted Goveia ended up being huge moves that paid off in the long term. I thought Walters getting Chris Randle and the 26th pick for the 24th pick was high way robbery. Randle was really a bright spot on some bad Bomber defences during those first couple of season of the current regime.

I can’t wait until we play Toronto again. They’re completely overrated.

Dude was swarmed by our D though in all fairness.

Well I’m not going to lie I’ve seen the difference between a girl that watches football because it’s important to you and a girl that legitimately loves football and watches it with you. Both are perfectly fine but I have to admit it’s really nice.

I’m not really concerned. Zach is a gun slinger. Sure he had two pick 6’s which isn’t good but he also threw for 4 TD passes. You take the good with the bad. He’s never been shy to push the ball down the field, and will always take a chance and let his receiver make a play.

In my opinion he’s getting better every single game; he’s always been a tough in between the tackles kind of runner but he’s been legitimately using his speed to beat guys now, I’ve never seen him so explosive. I always thought of him as Harris light, but he’s really paving his own legacy. He’s been great.

A special shout out to @Jpan85for the tickets last night! Me and my new girl friend had a great time! Our first date was actually the 50-14 thumping of the Lions, and this was our second game in the stands together, we were really hoping for a back to back 50 burger but you can’t always get what you want 😉 we did however get tickets to the banjo bowl so expect another big blow out.

He used to be a decent poster, I don’t know what’s going on with him but he has a very arrogant attitude. Like we get it the Lions we’re a joke for a couple of years and it’s great you have a competitive team but his constant need of validation from Rider fans is sickening.

Ok but 2019 was not 4 years ago.. 2019 was like two months ago…holy crap does time fly!

Done! Thank you so much.

I would love to take my new girl friend!! We made plans to watch the game at my place and I’m going to BBQ for her which is perfectly fine but I most certainly wouldn’t say no to surprising her with game day tickets!

Eugene Goodlow! Darn Bubba beat me too it. That’s a very considerate offer true blue!

Well time to knock these overrated bums down a peg. 6-3? Really.. well good for them for what they’ve accomplished so far but that stops tonight. I fully expect a solid effort on offense, and I know our D will make life miserable for Cody and co. Expect a big win tonight!

Why? He’s a Swiss Army knife that could play 3 positions. In a perfect scenario hes your first guy subbing in at one of those positions and if there’s any injury I’m sure he’ll be back into the lineup, plus he’s always been a good ST player. We don’t just release guys because we’re relatively healthy right now, it’s a luxury to have a guy like Darby being able to be plugged in at any hole we need back there.

He brought in some good players in his one year with the team. He really built the nucleus of what would be the 2011 Grey Cup contending team. The big problem was he was very un professional, and obviously the big hole at QB.

Considering we traded a second rounder for Lefors and had to end up playing Michael Bishop it was absolutely awful in hindsight. Even with horrible QB play we were only one win away from a playoff birth. I’d imagine with Glenn starting with that 09 roster we would have likely been good enough for a home playoff game that year but this regime has made me forgive the short comings of previous teams, I don’t really sweat that stuff anymore.

I told my girl friend at 22-0 we were going to come back and win that game. It’s the CFL anything could happen! Glad you stuck it out, must have been a very satisfying second half to be at the game!

Holm has been a beast all season. He just always seems to be around the football. Smart player who gets better every single week.

Just can’t take them lightly we saw what happened in Ottawa. Come out and play hard for 60 minutes and there won’t be any issues we’re the better team just have to stay focused for 60 minutes.
