jazzsax Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 Riders lose.... AGAIN!!! You know being banned from Riderfans.com ain't all that bad, because I'd be far more of a **** now than I was before!!!! wbbfan and Nickthesizz 1 1
SpeedFlex27 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 With Chris Jones gone & replaced by Craig Dickenson it's harder to hate the Riders now. Craig is one of the nice guys in the CFL. The Rider fanbase are still morons though. Tracker, Noeller, USABomberfan and 2 others 3 2
Zontar Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 Knives are out for Dickenson and Shivers already.

Looks completely lost on the sidelines, almost a shell of his former self and we are only 2 games in to the season...
NorthernSkunk Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 I think the Bombers are quietly becoming Canada's team this year..... a real feel good story developing in Bomber land this year.
Dr Zaius Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) They're the 2013 bombers. A rudderless ship. Deadbeat HC- dickenson didn't even have his headphones on when he needed to throw the challenge flag. Unproven GM, no QB and no prospects. Edited June 21, 2019 by Dr Zaius Noeller and The Classic 2
Noeller Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 I don't wanna get too cocky and chirp too much because I'm a big believer in karma, but man, what I wouldn't give for us to be the new "unbeatable" Stamps, and for the Riders to be a totally shitbag all year... Fred C Dobbs, Bigblue204, blue_gold_84 and 6 others 7 2
White Out Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 There's no fan base more deserving of being garbage for a long time than the Riders. I don't ever recall any fanbase becoming so insufferable in my lifetime as they did, with such limited success. That being said there's a lot of work to be done before we can all collectively stroke each other. blue_gold_84, Bubba Zanetti, JBombers and 7 others 6 4

Booch Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 yeah...but hasn't he been coaching in the league for what now..pushing 20 years, doesn't take a lot to know the game..intricacies..in game situ type calls/adjustment...that's a poor excuse really for any new HC other than one like say Mike Sherman who had zero canadian football experience whatsoever Tracker 1
Bomber_fanaddict Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 Grey cup or not. It's so refreshing to not be the most hated team, the loveable losers, the circus, the joke, the basement dwellers. The Bombers are competitive and look to be solid on all facets of the game and coaching. They are quietly chugging along and it's fun to watch again! rebusrankin, JBombers, Bigblue204 and 2 others 5

Sask. is not the place to go for on-the job-training at the HC position. Dickenson will not survive long enough to grow any teeth. Tracker, The Classic, Ripper and 1 other 2 2

Craig is one of the nice guys in the CFL. The Rider fanbase are still morons though. This, at least the man doesn't try to bend or break the rules with the roster ratio the way his predecessor did, and he certainly is much less toxic in his attitude towards the players. But I don't think he has quite the IT factor that O'Shea has or the scheming ingenuity that his brother in Calgary does. As to feeling like we won the Grey Cup ... Well I'm not ever going to get that feeling until the job's done. Too much football left to play. BUT ... If there was a year where the path looked just right to get it, this would be it. Bigblue204, Fred C Dobbs and The Classic 3
do or die Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 Ok, Riders lost......but I'm just not into moral victories.... The Classic and Bigblue204 2

Yeah, the day Roy Shivers showed up as GM in late 1999 he changed the culture & made the fanbase what it is today.

This, a fan culture always predates the arrival of players, coaches and GMs. Just that it's more visible when their team is winning, or at least the arrogance factor that is.
