Riders didn't win another cup.

[Dodge and Burn]

Let's keep this going for hundreds of years like it deserves.

Imagine cheering for a team that's only only won four times in 108 years but then acting like you're the greatest ever.

 

[Goalie]

Honestly screw them. Screw tsn. Screw suitor. Ain't worthy of the attention.  

Bombers are back to back Champs. 

Rider fans can say what they want cuz they are losers and we are winners. Saskatchewan? Saskatcheloss the last few years now. **** them. 

**** tsn for acting like someone died eventho if u pause it at the right moment you can see the exact second tsn and the city of Hamiltons heart broke. 

Back to back

The Riders don't matter one iota today. Bombers are back to back champions after a dominant season. That is the only thing that matters. 

[bustamente]

Exactly who is this Rider team that people talk about never heard of them

[Bomber_fanaddict]

Can’t wait for Rider fans to mark this year with another Asterix. Was it the shortened season? Android Harris? Zach’s hair being too long? What will it be?

[do or die]

Why are we talking about the Riders, anyways?

[Dodge and Burn]

We won the cup again. 

Let the best defense ever talk begin. 

[Bomber_fanaddict]

Fun fact. The Riders have the same amount of grey cup wins as there have been grey cups decided in overtime…..

[White Out]

Can we just savor the fact that we single handedly probably saved the league from dealing with a Rider back to back?

I laughed out loud at first when I read this and then it suddenly hit me...this could have happened...

Their suffering makes us feel warm & fuzzy.

Here's an interesting stat. The Bombers won their 4th Grey Cup in 1958 which was 63 years ago. The Riders won their 4th Grey Cup in 2013.

The Bombers now have thrice as many cups as the Riders.

[Geebrr]

I am not even thinking about the Riders right now.

Oh to them they think they live rent free in our heads to use that most overused stupid saying.

But btw yes yes they do because they suck and its fun to talk about them. 🙂

I think this thread is a little silly and kind of unnecessary... but then I remembered I did have a thought about the Riders before the Grey Cup and this seems like the appropriate place to share it...

My theory is that because the Bombers played a terrible first half in the West Final, we have successfully screwed the Riders for the foreseeable future... and here's how:

- because of all the mistakes the Bombers made, the game remained close...
- because the game was close, the Riders truly believed they were in it and had a shot at winning...
- and because they came "close" to knocking off the champs, they now believe they have the quarterback to lead them to the promised land...
- and now they will hitch their wagon to Cody "Sprinkles" Fajardo for the next few years truly believing he can carry the team and gives them the best chance to win...

Had the Bombers not tried to fumble the game away early... it may have been a blowout... and then they would see that they need to make changes... but that's not the case... and here we are.

Anyways, I honestly don't really think about other teams too much... especially when we're the champs... but I thought some people would enjoy this so it seemed appropriate to share

That fan base is just hilarious at times. 
They constantly say ZC is just a game manager and a terrible QB and point to his 5 interceptions in the last two games. But fail to see that 3 of them were weather related and or the receiver. 2 were 100% on Zach. They also forget to mention the 4 that CF threw in the west semi and the numerous over throws. If you compare just this year Zach was 20 TDS to 6 Ints vs Cody’s 14/11. Remind me again of Cody’s stats in the last 2 Grey Cups?

Now they want to make Duke the highest paid receiver…. If they make him the highest  and Cody is making over $500k how do they solve the oline issues?

Isn't he like 17-2 with 2 Grey Cups 1 MOP and 1 GCMOP?

One hell of a game manager. Unlike terrible Fajardo who can't even do that.

20 TDs and 6 INTs. That's a fantastic ratio! Collaros' QB rating in the regular season was 111.0, FFS... Combined with nearly 3,200 passing yards and 70.2 COMP%, he was head and shoulders above any other pivot. Easy MOP.

FWIW, over a normal 18 game season, that's 4,410 passing yards, 27 TDs and 8 INTs - and a career season for him.

To paraphrase @Mike, those greenies a province over can sob into their sister's cleavage as they have to face the reality that the Bombers are the class of the league and Collaros just came off his best season and is the reigning MOP, GC MVP, and back-to-back champion.

THEY don't...and even without those big albatross salaries....fixing the Oline in free agency ain't happening...they may be able to get one guy...but thats it, also all teams who have good o-lineman tend to do whatever to retain them, all u can get are grossly over payed Americans...good luck with Canadians...their O-line rebuild is still several years in the making yet....I don't see any real blue chippers in their current starting Canucks...or on the PR....If they were any better they would have been in the lineup...

I’m hopeful for Ferland, but that’s about it.

he needs to beef er up a lot....not sure if the extra weight tho will help or hinder him....this falls soley on Oday neglect last few years, and bad drafting...If anything he should be on the hotseat...if not already punted....he has messed things up bad since Jones left in my opinion
