Again short term thinking ... I am after the long term gain ... I want to be a team to be feared and not just because of talent ... that might win us the grey cup ... but for now there is not enough pride in our selves

 

How'd that work out long term for Garrett Marino.   He was feared because he was going to end someone's career not because he had an ounce of talent.

Maybe you should go cheer for the green guys if that's the style of play you are looking for.

I personally think @BigBlue should go be a real man and walk into Bombers practice and explain to the entire O why they're pansies. Lead by example right?

You have it exactly backwards but congrats on the hi IQ

Like I said earlier. You've typed it. You wouldn't dare say to any of the bombers.

[Jpan85]

The payback in that situation is punch the ball in for 6.

I think it's bad enough being a player in Sad-scat-chew-on...that's all.

lol you're acting like this is Friday night lights or something lol. That's not the way pro sports work anymore. So you're "Long term" gain is to potentially get one of our starters on O suspended, ON TOP of potentially losing our star QB (at that time, no one knew how bad the injury was/wasn't) for a game against a western rival who is still in the hunt for playoff spot? 

I'm not sure if you're trolling at this point or not, but your points are dumb. You make the kind of points I tell my son complete ******* idiots make. I'm not saying you are either...just that idiots think a lot like you. People who play the game, the way you are suggesting are ******* stupid and usually have a short and mediocre career.

I have said my thing ... Gordo's video from Pascucci says it all and nothing further needs to be said .... just action taken

I have said all I need to say... it takes consensus to bring about real and effective change... so we find the change or we won't

You don't get it and you never will

When you trot out the "troll" word I know its your pride talking and that's a shame ... your judgment has been shown to be excellent judging by your Pick'em score but go mock somebody else ...

people are nearly always guilty of what they accuse another of and that includes trolling  and mocking

Hopefully Habba draws in this week. Time to bench The Seal.

Read that part again, but slower...

I've replied to your dumb statements about the bombers being pansies for not retaliating. I'm not sure how you think those videos prove your point? And who needs consensus? The Bombers? You don't make sense.

I’m really excited to see more Habba hopefully. Guy is an absolute monster. He’s a star player waiting to break out. Reminds me a little bit of Phillip Hunt.

Lawrence got called for 25 yards for his hit. It doesn't seem like the league calls many of those.

Rough play disqualification is 25 yards..u will see it on a spear ejection or a really blatant punch ...

Over the years I have seen a number of bench clearing brawls on the sports hilite shows .... but I believe they were mainly all college football games ... If we had a bench clearing brawl last Saturday maybe it would have woke a few people up like the league's governors and the zebras ... maybe the smugness would go away and actual change would be engineered by the powers that govern us ... QB &  player safety would happen immediately ... fan entertainment and not partisan advantage might take the forefront ... other knuckle dragging things might finally be addressed

"a player that retired a quarter-century ago" ... what does age have to do with manliness and being the family/team protector have to do with age? I would rather lose the Grey Cup than see Zach's career end on a cheap shot

Dignity is more important than discipline

Discipline without dignity is harlotry...

And if we had of lost because all 5 of our O-Linemen jumped on Robertson at once, reducing him to an ink spot, this Saturday  would have turned into the greatest most anticipated game of all time in Winnipeg history

Stop & think what you're saying. You want to see bench clearing brawls in football? When teams are already thin at certain positions, you want to see suspensions as well? Give your head a shake. Football is not hockey. Discipline in the sport has always been extremely stressed from pee wee to pros & is absolutely paramount. It is one of the pillars the sport is built upon.

The other thing, football players are protected with all kinds of equipment. Just where will any player throw the first punch without breaking his hand?? Fighting in football makes no sense as players can get seriously hurt. That's why it doesn't happen very often. 

A lack of fighting or retaliation doesn't mean anything other than players have been taught not to take stupid retaliatory penalties as it hurts THE TEAM. And, TEAM will always come first. If it doesn't then you have garbage organizations like the Riders who never win anything despite trying to think they intimidate when they don't. 

Now then, go back to watching more You Tube videos of the 1975 Philadelphia Flyers bench clearing brawls.

Probably told by the CFLPA & his team to just get it over with. What a classless organization.

This should be plastered everywhere leading up to this weekend.

These guys are professionals but it will still be important for the coaches to harness the players energy into executing their assignments, play hard and disciplined to the whistle and no more.

And and added incentive, no mercy will be shown to the Riders.

Time to give Eli reps at center. And Dobson at guard.

Anything less than an absolute curb stomping of this classless clown show organization would be disappointing to me

New returner Blackmon in today returning punts and Parker will be returning Kicks, likely.
