  1. It just proves the old adage. No matter how good your running game is, it's literally nothing if your passing game isn't a threat. I also think the Riders just happen to be a team that matches up well against the Bombers' defence. Edmonton has a little more beef in their front seven. Couple that with an ineffective QB who's greener than grass, and the skids are well greased.

    Did you read the whole thread? If so, stop trolling.
  3. Sorry guys...forgot about this thread. Yeah...it's all good
  4. All things must come to an end (good or not)

    Hats off to Tino the game manager
  6. Next time you get a chance to see Durie live, take a good look. The guy is a good football player...very good at getting open for dump offs and a good blocker too.
  7. Ummmm I don't think of our front four as being that big of a threat. They generate much in BC, whose OL isn't that great.

    Well...this contest shrunk in a hurry

    Seems like quite a few teams need to take a hard look at their OL this off-season.
  10. Remember Calvillo in 2007? It looked he was done...improved protection the following season added a few more years to his career. The Bombers need to get serious about protection. If we're starting 2 - 3 Americans, we should have a good line in spite of our shoddy CIS draft record.
  11. An incredibly shoddy OL performance in the second half...almost looked like the Hamilton coaches picked up on certain tendencies to exploit.
  12. Back to the original topic: after last night, the CFL just got a whole lot more interesting. Toronto should make the playoffs and with RR behind centre they are quite capable for going on a roll. I expect the Stamps to lose unexpectedly at some point. Also, they may go into the playoffs having played several meaningless games. The Edmonton D could wreak havoc in bad weather. Much to be determined yet...

    That was quick, nice to see BC lose though

    Criticizing Bryant is pointless unless you've watched film and analyzed how much coverage he draws. I know I've seen a few plays where he has been open but the throw wasn't there. But really, there's isn't whole to go on.
  15. It seems Bell won't be providing this service, so I'm out. But is anyone else tired of watching regular season hockey? I will check scores and watch highlights, but I'm not serious about following hockey until the playoffs start.
  16. And some of it is legitimate. For example, the big cities carry most of the political clout. There are 'paved' roads in rural MB. that wash out right down to the gravel, and don't get fixed for half a year. Rural people 'put up and shut up' more than many realize. I can show you city streets where this happens... it is not strictly a rural problem. If this happens, it's not in high traffic areas or areas with a lot of semi traffic. In many rural areas there's no consideration that a road might be needed for harvest.

    No, but there was a thrashy doc / reality show that aired on National Geo a while ago. They paid a colony in Montana to get it filmed on their yard, then paid certain members to be 'actors.' Pretty much a gong show but it must have been entertaining...the ratings were good.
  19. Precisely this. It doesn't even make sense to blame the inept drafting of past regimes. With 3 starting Americans the OL should be better, plain and simple.
  20. Not per se, but I'm closely connected to the guys out in the fields. I help with making hay, vegetable harvest, yard work, etc. And also play pac man at the same time . Like I believe this- most Saskatchewanites haven't evolved opposable thumbs as yet. He was talking about Mark. COMON! What were you thinking! You're better then that. Now shake it off and get back in the game! I just got off the combine...would you bloody stop talking about me behind me back?
  21. First you have to have a scheme / execution that limits his short passing game. If he can throw in 2 seconds, all the blitzes in the world aren't going to hit him in the mouth. If beating Glenn were as simple as we can make it sound on paper, he probably wouldn't be in the CFL any more.
  22. Not per se, but I'm closely connected to the guys out in the fields. I help with making hay, vegetable harvest, yard work, etc. And also play pac man at the same time . Naw, mostly mod Rider fans on MBB.
  23. Yep. You find out there's not too many things in life that make you happier than plain old hard work.
