Mark F Posted October 10, 2018 Report Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) Darvin Adams played very well last game. He made tough catches, fought for the ball, made moves around defenders and powered through tackles. I don't know why he doesn't (as far as I can tell) play like that every game, but if he keeps it up, Bombers O will be good. Nichols was clearly concentrating on throwing the sideline passes low and to a spot where only his receiver could catch it. tough catch, but not interceptable. and they were catching those passes. If they continue playing like that, the O will do well. Edited October 10, 2018 by Mark F Bigblue204 and Mark H. 1 1

I agree on the guy being poison and I wouldn't want him in blue and gold unless the trade involved him getting a brain transplant. Coincidental but the trend is there. Hell when the Riders traded him the toothless mob was ready to catapult Jones into the sun for trading away one of the only pieces worth watching on the team, now look at them, back in love with the crazy man. I say again, Duron Carter is cancer.

If those two guys keep playing like that, the O will do well. He had a fine game but I still felt he put in a ***** effort on a ball early. Guy is fine as a #3 receiver, maybe a #2 guy but expecting him to be the main guy is just asking for trouble. Mark F 1

Mr Dee Posted October 11, 2018 Report Posted October 11, 2018 Not bad. Last month our chances of reaching the Grey Cup was 1.21% Floyd and SPuDS 2

Booch Posted October 11, 2018 Report Posted October 11, 2018 yeah...its how your playing/where you are at in the last 3 games leading up to the playoffs...if you can get to that point and get in...previous record for the season means jack squat Noeller 1

17to85 Posted October 11, 2018 Report Posted October 11, 2018 Pretty sure Harris is going to lead any yards after contact stat anyway. wbbfan 1

Especially this year, he has had a much tougher go of it. He is soo seldom dropped by the first tackler, and when he is brought down he goes down pushing forward virtually every carry. His are the grittiest yards in the cfl. Mr Dee, SpeedFlex27, blue_gold_84 and 2 others 5

I suspect he is the Milt Stegall of the team. In superb shape, well conditioned, ready to go before, during, and after the game, and my gawd he keeps those legs of his strong and durable. He's one of a kind. What a pro!

Booch Posted October 12, 2018 Report Posted October 12, 2018 Well I never looked..but last 2 cups were won by a team that was .500...or worse..so obviously they got hot at right time Mark H. 1

I had moved over to the West side sit with my friend, his wife and mom. That was lots of fun.
jazzsax Posted October 12, 2018 Report Posted October 12, 2018 We also had the players on both sides of the ball to make a difference. Solid receivers, solid RB's, and a decent secondary. That run and hit from Reed at 1:08. KAPOW Kinda how I envision rider fangirls getting their teeth popped out.

The fans wanted Dieter Brock's head & for HC Bud Riley to be fired. They finished second in the West & hosted the West Semi Final. Edited October 13, 2018 by SpeedFlex27
