Booch

Riders are a mess..brutal oline play and they lost another starter on it..yikes! When Powell turned it over on downs Clarke got right trucked..and guys were coming through all night. Did Hughes even play? Johnson doesnt look as good when he has to do all the work. Pop gun offence will scare nobody and expect Powell to be hurt or worn and broken down by midseason.. not like he a spring chicken Lucky for rider faithfull that Hamikton played and looked like crap or this would have been fugly... Dickenson looks lost and is going to have a lot of learning/growing to do if he wants to continue as a HC

hahaha...no doubt...2 factors gave the Riders that win...No Glenn and we still almost beat them with Dinoodle...and if there was challenges/command center then...the pivotal INT be overturned...yup they won and you can't cry over split milk or change things, but they shouldn't have

I dunno..no labatte though he not that good no more..bladek fresh off injury and isnt that good..same with Clarke.. Blake old as dirt and unproven backup as their 6th No Solomon and he may not have it no more..Means hasnt played since a short stint in 2016..linebackers look real suspect..Edem..well he gets beat more than he does anything spectacular.. Other than injury prone Roosevalt that receiving Corp has to be bottom tier in league until they prove otherwise..rookie hc and DC and top it off hanging season on Collaros...dont see that as anything more than a 7 or 8 win team and that's being kind...Powell wont be a difference maker there and will be beat down sooner than later as he is 32 as well..

YEAH..it does go both ways...prime example Sask last year

for all teams involved...last year means jack

yes...and no...just like a goalie in hockey...but if your qb right sucks..as does your goalie...your team seldom wins

whats their win loss records though over the past 4 years...and who's the chubby one?

Streveler threw more TD's than Zack last year as the back-up...that says a lot right there about him not having it anymore...

I could care less about the stats...I want my guy to give the team a chance to win and just play smart..othe than that 3 -4 game brain fart episode by Nichols last year all he has done is basically that..won, or had us in spots to win and if not for a sad sack defense his first year and a bit as a starter here he'd have even ore wins..as he was putting up 30 and more points a lot of games and still lost..thats not on him...I dont feel like looking it up but as it sits now his winning percentage as a starter here is well above .600 Collaros I think just doesn't have it anymore and is playing scared and isn't mentally tough enough anymore...his record last year sure was 10-6 or something as the starter but that 9 td's and 13 int's didn't get that record, and I think 4 or 5 games were won by a touch down or less and if the defense didn't score any in those games, well they'd been losses...

yeah kinda funny...especially the Gainey part...wayyyy overated and never understood it...gets bunrned way too often to be considered elite...and other than the one year where he got all those interceptions (10) many of which were gifts and not from superb coverage he has pick totals of 0/0/2/0/3/3...hardly a guy who creates turnovers or makes a huge difference...he of 1 sack and 4 forced fumbles in his entire 7 year career. I'm sure we will see him in Banks or Taskers dust tonight a few times

your lucky...buzz and Boomer have noodle arms and zero escapabability

totally agree...and be further ahead this year too

yes I read that somewhere too hahahahaha

yeah I enjoy discusssing with other fan bases..get diffeent perspectives...but man sometimes some there get wayyy over sensitive and ultra immature...but its all good fun..I post on a couple other sites but under a different name...

not in the same way though...more so with facts and history...over there it's unfounded..juvenile and pretty petty

yeah I like to give Ripper a hard time...more in fun but he seems like a good fan of is team, and league and can actually have back and forth convo that actually makes sense and isn't blinded like others on his site...and can take it and give it just the same...it's interesting though if one of us venture there and make similar type comments/statements are attacked for it, degraded at times and generally banned......weird lol

i think he is/was a free agent at end of year no...so you guys are free to scoop him up when collaros goes down and Fajardo shows how awful he is as a number 2 😎😎

132 and you have 13....every sask fan favorite number hahaha

MJHL Stienbach Pistons, Virdon Oil Capitals, Portage Terriers, OCN Blizzard, Winkler Flyers, Winkler Blues, Selkirk Steelers, Swan Valley Stampeders, Neepawa Natives, Dauphin Kings, Waywascappo Wolverines.. Also the MMJHL which has ten teams and are all withing the city....sure not all WHL teams but teams that have paying customers none the less, and all within an hour of Winnipeg, and like I said in my original post don't really consider Jr Hockey in either province as it is not a professional league....fact of the matter there is one major sporting event for the entire province I also have read a lot of stuff in articles over the years too...doesn't mean it's a 100 percent fact...does it?

Chris Jones though selected and got rid of guys a lot of times based on height and stature alone...he always pooched his shorter players and most times for unfounded reasons...other than his disdain for them...

can always un-retire

that market has only one "major" sports team to spend entertainment dollars on...I don't count junior hockey as one, as Manitoba has as many if not more junior teams in the Provence as does Sask . They have the Riders, Lacrosse and.....Usports...thats about it WPG for example has Bombers..Jets..Goldeyes..Moose...now soccer...as well as the 2 universities..WHL..and the 2 other junior leagues so a lot of disposable income to be spread about the city...so averaging what we do is still pretty impressive when you look at the big picture

a team who had to be saved by telethons and selling bogus worthless team shares to save their butts in the losing years shouldn't be trumpeting this endless money tripe anyway...has already been stated that attendance there has dipped due and a toilet bowl of a season this year I'm sure will take it's toll on their gate...thats how it works there...at least in our dry spell we still put anywhere from 27 to 29k butts in the seats...I recall looking back on attendance figures when they perpetually sucked and they were in the very low 20's and a few seasons in the high teens

and based on financial league records haven't the Bombers the last few years had more profit on the bottom line? I give Ripper some agreement that they sell a lot of green swag around the league but it's all they have to back really, and there are lots ...more like tons of defectors who leave that god forsaken place once they are old enough so ya...they but stuff in other cities..
