For the love of goodness, he needs to last the whole game AND be ready for the next one.

This is really the thing for me.....we've had some of the league's all-time worst teams over the last decade, and the fans STILL sell the place out. The Riders would be lucky to get 20k with those teams. The difference between Bombers fans and Riders fans, is we have more "die hards", but less "casuals". The Riders have WAY MORE casual fans than any other franchise and maybe even more than some NHL franchises in Canada. They're the ones who buy the merch because it's "cool" to do so right now. They badly need another extended run of Al Ford years to thin out their ranks a little and shut them up but good... Regardless of era, the way I look at it is SOME Rider fans believe that they are more diehard to their team than any other fan of another team. They are incorrect. Some Bomber posters here live and breathe the Bombers equally as much as diehard Sask fans. It's that simple.

Adarius Bowman is a like a good golfer. He has all the skiils needed to be great, but can't consistently get them all working together.

He'd look good in blue and gold though especially this year.

listen, in terms of the crop of gb's availlable, especially at the back-up position, Tate probably leads at the best option any team has this season to have available from the bullpen, crapper today or not. For example, I'm thinking I'm not taking Brohm over Tate. But hey, Tate doesn't play for us so the more he caps the better.

In my opinion, his facemaking penalty was worthy of an ejection.

Glencross is from Kindersley. Do I cheer for Calgary? No, I hate them. born in Kindersley maybe but he always said he was from Red Deer, plus he was an Oiler before he was a Flame so I don't know what that has to do with anything. Fact is there are a lot of gappers who love Eberle and the Oilers because of it. I understand when you say you're a penguins fan, tons of kids are because Crosby, but the Oilers have sucked for a long time it's puzzling when kids pick them up unless there's some other connection. With some, maybe because of their parents i.e., Gretzky, Messier, Coffey, Fuhr et al era

Has nothing to do with concussions, things just accumulated is what Cornish is saying to the media.

I voted. Tom Clements, hands down!

I can't remember what game it was or even the team (maybe Calgary), but I remember Suitor pointing out on a couple of occasions the offense lined everyone up as a receiver, no emptying the backfield, just all at receiver to begin the play. It would be interesting to see the Bombers try this (maybe keep Fitzgerald back for pass protection). Especially with Brohm trying to gain some confidence other than handing off to Grigsby. Unless of course the Bombers have done this and I haven't noticed.

TSN3 will be available in Alberta, but the Jets games on it will be blacked out. Why on earth would they black out Jet games in Alberta? That would be like blacking out the Bomber games in Alberta. I do know the answer though that I don't like. It's because it's not our 'home' team. They want us to follow the Flames and the Oilers. I told them my 'home' team is actually the Jets, I just happen to live in Alberta.

Wonder what that's all about? Gotta love these trades between the same owner, can basically formulate any rumor you want to justify bolstering the weak sister. Complete crock of **** if you ask me and should be rule against this sort of collusion and clear conflict of interest. Does David Braley have to give his blessings for trades to happen? If the organizations are run correctly, my guess is no, therefore no conflict. Not to mention the fact we're a nine team league. BC and Toronto have to have the option of dealing with one another.

If you look at the last three games: 1. The Riders are a team that matches up well against the Bombers. In particular, their Offense is well designed to take what a Defense like ours gives them. However, a few less mistakes in those Rider games, and we win in spite of their advantages. 2. Against B.C., the shallow depth of this team was exposed. It was clearly shown that the Bombers can't compete very well with so many starters in the sick bay. But the game was close and our boys were fighting a good fight until Willy went down. IMO, with fewer errors and turnovers they would have 2 wins against the Riders. Mistake free football is what it will take to win one or two games without Willy. But if we keep snapping over the punter's head, fumbling at critical times, costly drops from receivers, giving up long kick returns etc. etc. etc. we'll be hard pressed to win even with Willy behind centre. Will they get some of the other starters back? Can they limit mistakes in spite of playing with a depleted line up? Just my 0.02 I'd add the mistake of receivers NOT fighting to get open will continue to spell disaster.

I think it was more of a shared responsibility on that one.

Well, if he has the same performance has last game, quite possibly. I really wish Sunseri was pulled in the last game to try out the other QBs when we knew the game was over. Now we have no clue if the others are any better than Tino. You'd just be putting Doege in a position to fail throwing him into a game when he had limited reps in practice. You wouldn't get any kind of read on how good or bad the guy actually is. If they plan on potentially using him because of Sunseri's lack of production, they need to get him more reps in practice this week, but it's a catch-22 cause Sunseri obviously needs the work too if he's going to play. Welcome to not having a starting QB. Not to mention the fact the potential negative impact it can have on how your defense plays knowing their down their main guy on Offense and knowing they'll be on the field more..

Exactly. Ask Calgary how it worked out for them. O'Shea put it best that this is what they signed up for. Oh and get Romby off the field. Use Grigsby more as a slot back, couldn't hurt.

Bend don't break defense approaches only work with an offense that can score 30 points+. It's caught up to us the last five games.

I'm not sure why you're taking such a point against this. MOS said the running game isn't a problem for our D. It clearly is as evidenced again where another CFL team just runs roughshod over us. they didn't run roughshod over us, they did run effectively at key points which killed us.

Actually my hunch, and a hunch it is, he's released in the near future to make room for another RB. As I've said before, one of the most cruel positions to have in the CFL.

Like conspiracies do you? If it's all you got stick with it. No, I'm not into conspiracies at all, unless it involves a movie, then I'm interested. It's is a curious fact and that is all. Penalties called or not called are very irritating but all officials have a very tough job and will never be absolved no matter which way the call is made. It still doesn't change the fact that a team, that gets called for holds more than anybody, as per your information, suddenly has no holding calls. And that's all I said. Chances are Sask's front four will have to hold their blocks even longer now that Durant is out.This you'd think will make it very difficult to overlook blatant holds. You'd think. My guess is their next game will be filled with penalities or, business as usual. Yep. It's a conspiracy. Dirty Riders getting away with everything. I'll tell you what it's ridiculous. No holding penalties? Not a one? How's that possible? I'm done in this thread. Continue with the beeyotch fest. I'm sorry you're done with this thread. Sometime ago you stated your age of 14. If that was truthful and I assume it was, then it's showing. I'm and most other Bomber fans on this site aren't suggesting conspiracy theories. We leave that for Mike , that guy is full of conspiracy theories. We're simply having a discussion on blatant holding that weren't called. We're frustrated, nothing more, nothing less. This is the beauty of a fan forum. Misery loves company.

I'll reiterate what a few others have already said... even if we "airlifted" in 4 or 5 NFL cuts, the chances of even one of them playing and making a difference at this point in the season is very low... I disagree if we're talking about an O-Lineman... I think if there's an opportunity to bring in a lineman that can make a difference and help our run game, the brass would be stupid not to. It's our weakest spot. Sure there's going to be a learning curve, but I don't agree that an "airlifted" O-lineman couldn't make a quick impact if he's got the talent! But they inserted someone from the PR onto the OL and hasn't our running game looked better the last couple weeks? Even facing one of the tougher defensive lines in the league? The problem with the o-line right now seems more a ratio one than not having americans who can do the job. They absolutely need to bring some guys in... but I am curious about the players that are already on the practise roster. Can they play at all? If they can why have we stuck with retreads who aren't doing much like Romby Bryant, if they can't play why are we still wasting time on them? The idea that bringing in NFL cuts is going to improve out starters is wishful thinking, but it might improve your depth and long term prospects. I think depth is the only thing we can realistically plan on. The track record of plug-in-play NFL cuts half way through the year into systems being tweaked and modified doesn't usually work out that great. If certain Bomber personal find players who instantly shine to the CFL game and to our system, we need to sign them to a long-term contract.

Remind me how many cups they have? It's all I got.
