We all know this literally means nothing... Mike O'Shea would never publicly throw someone under the bus... especially right before the playoffs...

I hate to agree with a Rider fan but....

This is exactly true... the only play he made on defense was the pick-6... a play in which a terribly thrown ball went directly to him... and he had to avoid the sure tackling Calgary O-line to get to the house...

Three major factors are required before a new team can exist... 1) an owner 2) a fan base 3) a stadium Right now all we know is Halifax may have 2)... they may be on their way to 3).... but it doesn't sound like they have 1) just yet...

For the record, I was joking about the Wicek thing... I have no idea what his thoughts are on this depth chart...

All the local media reporting Neufeld to start for Bond and Foketi for Hardrick... meanwhile, Paul Wicek is crying that the team tried to deceive him by putting Bond and Hardrick as the starters...

Unfortunately I have to disagree with this... statistically he is closer to the bottom of the league right now and he has made some critical misses this season... missed a game tying kick against BC early in the year... had two brutal misses against Edmonton which might have cost us the game if not for an excellent defensive performance and a game sealing pick-6 from Randle... and missed the game winner against Tor... All that being said, I still have confidence that Medlock will make a big kick for us at some point before the season is over... I've just temporarily lost that confidence that anything 45 and under is a lock...

I think you're right about week 20 deciding 3rd place vs the cross over... both team would probably "prefer" to cross over... but trying to lose is bad karma so both team will bring it...

Is there any reason the Bomber should not be kicking tires on Underwood?...

If we're looking at it as straight up Flanders vs Thorpe... then I would agree the team absolutely made the right decision... I just wish they could've found a way to keep em all... IMO our offense has looked the best this year when all of Flanders, Thorpe and Harris were in the line-up...

It's funny that we all get a laugh at the Rider's expense... but I would feel kinda bad if Carter legitimately had a serious mental illness that needed attention... perhaps he should get the old noggin looked after... Based on talent alone, Carter would be more than just a marginal player in the NFL... I actually think he could be a star in the NFL... there's no question it's not his talent keeping him out of the league...

It certainly seems like he might have a case... but can he (his lawyers) prove it??

He would... but that's not the point... I would assume they don't want to make too many adjustments to the defensive personnel and why take one of the best corners in the league out of his position...

Hurl's play is completely irrelevant to the viability of Unamba being a MLBer...

I don't know what his injury is but Flanders is on the 6-game... my guess is if he is ready they'll pull him off for playoffs... but who knows, he could be done for the season already...

so he makes a few good plays at HB and he's suddenly qualified to be a middle linebacker?... that's not how football works... just proving the old saying that a team take on the persona of its coach... the Bombers play hard and act with class on and off the field... the riders, meanwhile, are a bunch of assclowns on and off the field...

It looked to me like Heath also had the presence of mind to slow down just a bit to allow a blocker to get in Jennings' way... he was close enough to the sideline that Jennings could've easily knocked him out of bounds...

Kinda seems like he might be hurt... he certainly didn't look very comfortable running routes out there...

hanging on by a thread... *nervous emoji*

The thing I find funny in all this... if the roles were reversed and the Bombers scored 2 garbage time TDs to make the game close... the exact same people would say: who cares, our offense was still **** and they got lucky against a garbage time, prevent defense...

Just what I was thinking... Santos-Knox has been playing just as well (dare I say, better) as Wild... so while I like Wild and look forward to his return, it doesn't really solve an immediate need... The receiving core is the biggest concern for me... if everyone is healthy I actually like playing both JFG and Coates... in order of targets: Adams, Dressler, Flanders/Denmark, JFG and Coates is a good wr group... and of course Harris is in there too...

Nice work... but the one pet peeve that I notice every time and needs to be pointed out... it's spelled Nichols, one "L"... not two...

Funny, I was watching some of the Jets/Oilers game and thought boy it looks strange seeing a d-man wearing number 5 that can skate and move the puck... then I wondered what Stuart was up to these days...

In Hall's defense... the defense got dramatically worse when Chamblin took over play-calling...
