  1. 30 years old and this is the first Cup I’ve ever been old enough to see. didnt think I was going to get the time off to go to the Cup, CN went on strike and I was able to drive in to surprise my fiancée who flew out with our friends on Wednesday. Amazing times. This is a day I’ll never forget.
  2. Let’s go fellas. Enjoy this and be safe!
  3. Are people actually saying that “fumble” should’ve stood? As the biggest Rider hater ever, that was an incomplete pass

    I miss Garret, can you imagine what he would’ve been saying about Harris failing a drug test? That guy thinks Al Bradbury is on steroids. 😂

    I’m not going to give you examples because I don’t care enough to look up your post history while I’m on my phone but I will just say this: take a look at how many people agreed with what I wrote. If you don’t find that telling ... you should. It’s not us man, it’s you.

    FWIW I think a lot of us here think you’re annoying too
  7. Much rather see us start 2020 with Khari as our HC than keep O'Shea. Not saying he's a bad coach, just feels like it is time for a change given his weaknesses and (so far) inability to get this team over the hump.
  8. lol jesus

    The first 9 passes thrown by Bo Levi were not defended even a slight amount

    I’m ready for O’Shea to move on
  11. JBR is right about Collaros, it makes absolutely zero sense not to dress him.
  12. People around here never change. Seems like the expectations were that we acquire a QB that doesn’t exist. We got the best QB we possibly could have at a very tolerable price. Literally no harm done by doing this at all.
  13. He’s going to play.
  14. Interesting.

    Why? I mean that statement alone, whether you care to see O’Shea go or not, is incredibly true.
  16. Mike replied to Floyd's post in a topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
    I do agree with all of this.
  17. I offer them a first rounder and literally any receiver we have not named Drew Wolitarsky for Collaros + Walker and don't even think twice about it.

    I mean ... do Robert Gordon and Marquay McDaniel “know how to win” more than our coaching staff? They have one Grey Cup between them, which is less than Jordan Younger for example. Not arguing your main point but just stating that it’s not as cut and dry as pointing to the winning attitude of who he has surrounded himself with. There are plenty of winners here too.

    We. *******. Suck.

    Sacked by a 30+ year old former cokehead that the Riders found playing in junior football in his late 20s. give me a break

    As possibly the biggest Streveler supporter ... I am 100% over Chris Streveler.
  22. Well for starters, he’s usually hammered.
  23. 700k before taxes and expenses that go beyond the average citizen? Set for life? LMAO Also, why on earth are we assuming he averaged over 100k a year for his career? I'd say it'd be highly optimistic (almost bordering on foolish) to think that after all his taxes and job related expenses, Hefney took home more than $175,000 USD over the course of his career. Add in kids, a mortgage, bills ... how in the world does someone figure he's set for life?
  24. Huge O'Shea fan here, but he has his faults and one of them that always baffles me is the overly respectful way he wants to coach his football team against opponents. When O'Shea played, he was one of the most ruthless players you could imagine and there wasn't much he wouldn't do to win the game. Now that he coaches, it's like if he had his way, he'd go into the opponents locker room and hand out orange slices at halftime. If your team comes into the locker room at halftime with that kind of league and you have a young QB full of attitude, you don't stifle that with this "hold your horses, fellas" stuff, you tell them to get out there and stay focused but step on their throat and make them remember what kind of football team you are. It's ridiculous. You can blame it on the players all you want, but it's not a coincidence that this stuff has continually happened whether it was Drew Willy, Matt Nichols or Chris Streveler under centre. We get a lead, we get cautious and polite and we blow it. It's sad and quite frankly, it's the exact type of stuff that makes me believe we aren't going to win a championship unless O'Shea changes his stance on this stuff. Winners play to win and if they come into a locker room at halftime up three scores, they want to end the game up six scores. Punish the other team. Don't even get me started on LaPolice. The guy goes ultra conservative with any kind of comfortable lead and then seems to panics his way into calling stupid gimmick **** to get back on track. Brilliant offensive mind, but man does he struggle with game script and he always has. Does not put his players in a position to succeed once they get up on an opponent. It's gross that it keeps happening over and over. Beyond frustrating.
  25. I hate our OL roster management now that Neufeld is back. Geoff Gray off the roster and only dressing 6 when that bandaid is starting is just asking for trouble.
