I'd be very surprised if we ended up with 10 wins. I'd be happy with 3-3 in the last 6, with one of those wins hopefully being the game vs BC. I don't expect us to do better than 1-2 vs Edmonton and Calgary, more likely 0-3. I was thinking victories against Hamilton, Ottawa, BC and one of Calgary and Edmonton. Might be a tad optimistic but I think we can do it if Willy is good to go and I think that's what it's going to take to make the playoffs. Depends on Willy's actual health and how healthy the Bombers and other teams are during the games. This is the point in the season where teams start to get physically beat down.

What's the three way tiebreaker? The team that gets fifth would be pretty choked.

TiCats are a solid team who seems to be getting healthy at the right time. Their National depth is impressive and they will be a better home team now that they've got a home. I'd said it before but I'll say it again, even with Durant the Riders would have been in tough to beat TiCats on that day. I've got a lot of respect for how they played.

The Bombers simply haven't done a great job in promoting their brand throughout Manitoba. Maybe it is something to do with the name because both BC and Saskatchewan draw fans and support from large geographic areas.

Week to week is good news. Bad news is that he'll be pretty banged up for awhile.

I'd throw Stoudemire in that mix too. He went to camp with the Riders, but he'd never played a CFL game before. That's 4 good rookies. How many are expected for one season? Stoudemire was scouted and recruited by the Riders but was a shrewd move nonetheless.

Bombers, like every other team in the West, have their fate in their own hands.

I'm posting on a tonne of topics. Not trying to cause waves at all.

It takes time to build up a scouting department. Walters seemed to do okay in the draft as well.

Why do you say that? Doege's been there all year. Look at Toronto last year as an example. Collaros leap frogged the second string Harris despite having less time with the offence. If Tino looks as bad as he did against the TiCats why wouldn't they throw Doege in there? They've both been taking first team snaps.

What, so we can trade for Burris or something? Lol. What? Three way deal... Montreal sends troy smith and london to Ottawa , Ottawa sends Burris to Sask, Sask sends first round pic to Montreal Not interested.

What do you suggest? An injury has left the Riders in an undesirable position. They will give the kid a chance but he needs to show improvement.

No spinning. TiCats laid a beating on the Riders. Sunseri likely gets a half, or maybe a game, and then next man up. Riders were willing to let go of Willy and give Sunseri the keys in this situation. I'm betting he gets a whole lot more before Doege and/or Price get some reps. Maybe or maybe not. Fortunately for the Riders there still in pretty good shape as far as making the playoffs go. The Redblacks have a decent defence but their offence is pretty suspect. I suspect that if Sunseri struggles again he will be pulled. FTR, Doege got lots of first team reps prior to the Hamilton game. so are the Riders be willing to part ways with Sunseri because of Doege? Sunseri will get his opportunity. IMO the worst thing that happened to Tino was throwing the INT early in the game. He started holding onto the ball far too long following that INT. Let's be honest here though, the way the TiCats played the Riders would have been in tough even with DD starting. Hamilton played a strong game in all three facets.

The Bombers are so banged up I'm not sure what Walters could do. He's actually done a pretty quick rebuild with his smartest move being O'Shea.

I don't get this. You talking about us or about other Rider fans coming here? Who cares?

The **** is wrong with you? When you get older you'll understand that some people aren't happy unless they are calling others done. It's an inferiority complex on their part. Don't take it personal.

Call your team whatever you want. Reality is there is a significant number of rural Manitobans that cheer for the Riders. To be fair, when the Riders sucked in the 80s and the Bombers were winning a lot there was a lot of Eastern Rural Saskatchewanites who were cheering for the Bombers.

Yep. I'm back to focussing on the Argo beatdown on the Stumps. Some beatdown. More like epic comeback. Or an epic meltdown.

Jones is a boob. O'Shea will be a successful coach for a lot longer then the emotional Jones.

Yep. That Ottawa receiving corps is made up of rejects. The Redblacks do have a decent looking defence but their receiving corps,and o-line are not doing a whole lot to help the quarterback out.

Who does IMWT post as on here? That guy acts like a real clown. (Maybe it isn't an act)
