How Long???
Can somebody summarize those Goalie posts in a few sentences? thanks...

How Long???
Simple answer... it depends on how well our prospects develop... we have one of the best group of prospects in league... if a few of them turn out to be bonafide superstars, then we will be contenders in the next 3-4 years...

BMO Stadium render
It boggles my mind that a stadium would be designed like that... I remember watching some games in the last year of Ivor Wynn thinking good they'll finally fix that stupid problem with their new stadium... and for some reason they didn't...

Zach Anderson Released
Unfortunately he never seemed to fully recover from that ACL injury... too bad, he looked very promising in 2014...

Talent Assessment
Yes I never thought of them... Tor quietly had a good free agency period adding Bourke, Watman, and Bulke...

Random Video Thread
@MOBomberfan great video... on the Simpson's theme, here's a good one about Homer on Making a Murderer...

Talent Assessment
I'm fairly sure only Montreal played 5 Canadians on the oline last year... Cgy normally goes with 4, but I believe they played 3 at some points when they were depleted with injuries...

Uniform changes with Adidas may not be dramatic
I think the point is being missed by some people... the point that some people like lebird and Tburg are making is simple... if the team didn't sign Harris, Smith, or Dressler, continued to wear our current navy blue and gold jerseys (or even wore the camo Argo jerseys once)... but then went 14-4 this season and won the grey cup... no one would care about that other stuff...

Free Agency 2016...
Of course they will... this is Rider fans we're talking about

For fun......what's our 18 game record now?
I think if we can't produce something decent this year... we must be cursed or something... IMO anything less than 10-8 and a playoff berth is a failure and Walter and O'Shea will be shown the door...

Free Agency 2016...
The top three names on this list are interesting... they must all be entertaining NFL opportunities, especially Laing.... Cdn DT with his skill set doesn't sit unsigned for long... what's the deal with Matt Norman?... I thought he was good enough to, at least, be a depth O-lineman... but Cdn OL don't just sit unsigned for a week....

Assuming were done with FA, whats left on the shopping list?
Probably meant Darvin...

Couldn't disagree more.... coming into free agency I would have said our 2 biggest strengths are secondary and QB depth...

New Look Bombers
I'm fairly sure we're not going to be dressing 2 American kickers...

One Year Later
Assessing a trade is a continuously on-going battle... generally we will be skewed to believe we won the trade... that being said, the addition by subtraction of getting rid of Kane alone makes this an excellent trade... the only way I see it turning in Buffalo's favour is if Kane starts to become a 40 goal scorer... and even in that case, still hard to say we didn't benefit greatly by getting rid of him b/c he was never going to reach that potential here...

Around the NHL
My favourite joke from this Tor/Ott trade... which team is trying to tank more, Tor for getting rid of Phaneuf or Ott for picking up Phaneuf?

Free Agency 2016...
I think we've seen enough failure around these parts recently....

Free Agency 2016...
MUCH easier said than done...

ANDREW HARRIS: A Homer to Believe In
I would love to see Harris in more of a multi-position role... I don't think he should be lining up behind centre for more that half the snaps... get him out in space, in the slot, anything to get him more productive while reducing some of the beatings he takes an a RB....
-
Assuming were done with FA, whats left on the shopping list?
Especially if he's your third of fourth option... that's pretty good production...

Uniform changes with Adidas may not be dramatic
I'd rather not see 2 teams with puke green jerseys in the CFL...

Free Agency 2016...
Rider fans on day 1 of Free agency: "pathetic Bombers can't recruit so they need to build through free agency" Rider fans on day 2 of Free agency: "great job by Jones filling needs and building depth through free agency"
