I know we all like to rag on the riders... but I find it hard to believe their offense won't be helped even a little bit by the return of Evans and additional of Duke... Sorry... I'm not sure if anyone else feels this way... but I'm uncomfortable with the Bombers being this dominant... in my lifetime as a Bomber fan, I'm not sure I've ever seen a Bomber team this much better than everyone else... not even 2001... I just can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen... even seeing some of the usual debbie downers around here optimistic just feels weird...

Riders new offense... get Fajardo to throw it as far as possible and hope that Duke is around there somewhere...

This is bang on... yes the entire panel was constantly heaping praise on the Bombers on Friday... but the way the season has gone so far... what else could they possibly say?

I don’t get to hung up on that… Wolitarsky is basically 100% American with a Canadian parent a dual citizenship…. We’ll take what we can get…

Probably a stretch to assume Calgary will sweep… but sask is lucky they pulled out the last second win against BC last week… otherwise they’d be 4-4, in third place, and have calgary right on their tails…

I’m not worried about Coach not having the guys ready to play… but I don’t like the idea of going 3 or 4 weeks without playing a meaningful game…

I love that you’re always ripping people for never letting this go… yet you’re the one who brings it up 😄

Across the board, the secondary is second to none… Alford-Nichols-Alexander-Taylor-Jones…. Most teams would love to have two players of that quality… we have five… PS I may have Alford and Nichols in the wrong order…

As Milt said at half…. Barring any significant injury, how does anyone beat the bombers this year?

Lions tried to ruin our scoring record in garbage time… bombers D not letting it happen…

I don’t… but only because that means I’m cheering for the riders to win a game… which has never and will never happen…

Listening to Duane Forde this game… he hasn’t answered several questions I have… I’ve been wondering is this QB athletic?… does he throw a heavy ball?… these are things we’ll never know…

Impressive shovel pass

It's probably a matter of they knew he'd be out at least 3 or 4 weeks... so you throw him on the 6-game and if he's out for six then you save some cap hit... if not, no big deal, just pull him off...

LOL... I had a friend once tell me... "I've never seen someone hate a sports teams as much as you hate the riders" 😂 I hate them... I just don't count them out until they've lost...

Actually, I think the riders would have to go 6-1... since the Bombers hold the tie-breaker... the riders need to outright win in the standings... you can't call riderfans an echo-chamber who shouts down any contrarian... and then post this... (well, I guess you can do whatever you want... it's just hypocritical )

I’m surprised there wasn’t a little more reaction to the final TD… the ref was right there so we’ll have to trust his call… but nothing I saw live or on replays showed Fajarso anywhere near the goal line… and when the pile got up he was a good half yard away from the line… didn’t see him reach the ball out or anything… seemed questionable but the ref made the call and it’s impossible to overturn based on the replays…

Every time this board counts out the riders... they seem to play their best... let's wait to see what happens tonight...

I agree... it's only really worth it when your kicker is... Medlock

I'm assuming this is a Will Ferrell as Neil Diamond quote... if not, congrats on joining the PPC...

funny thing is the only game where it actually did matter... Leggs made the kicks....

Thanks for answering the question that I was thinking but never actually asked... are you a mind reader?? Also, this thread, in general, was depressing... I didn't have the misfortune of watching this game but it sounds painful...

You're right that this management won't fire LaPo right away... but if ownership decides to move on from Desjardins after the season... a new GM could easily (and likely) want his own coach...

It's true... the patience shown from Miller, Walters and O'Shea was certainly not matched by the fan base.... but it paid off... and you need all levels on board to pull this stuff off...

What's the story with Ty Cobb?
