So I was out of town all weekend and only got to actually watch the game now... Holy **** did they hand that one to the Riders on a silver platter. Did Lapo forget that Nichols wasn't the starter? first quarter that was a Nichols game plan and predictably it didn't work without Nichols or Andrew Harris. 2nd half was much better but some complete stupidity costs them at least field goal position twice. And then the cherry on top Ritchie Hall pulls out his patented prevent defense to completely piss away a great effort by the defense. Said it before I will say it again, our coordinators are the single biggest thing holding this team back. Both passive losers who would rather let the other team lose the game than try and win it themselves.

Shaw free range app, it's wonderful.

was thinking for a roid monkey he looks pretty scrawny.

They're everywhere out here, hell I know a guy who was selling some anti-trudeau shirts you might enjoy too.

Yeah but it's not a chick and egg argument, you can evaluate a head coach based on what the talent level of a team is. We've seen lots of coaches for this team without any talent whatsoever do more than Tim Burke did. Burke was a loser as a head coach and thus his team played like losers. Take Mike Kelly for example, he wasn't any screaming hell of a head coach and his rosters were pretty lacklustre too, but he got more out of his players than Burke ever did. Lapo had essentially the same roster and got way more than Burke did. Burke was a bad head coach whether he had talent or not. Worst one I've seen on this team and I've seen some bad ones. Worse than Jim Daley, worse than Jeff Reinbold...

sadly they kind of do... he didn't get the safety spot because he was the best athlete for the position that's for sure...

Laugh all we want, getting Neufeld back would be a boon to the offensive line. Desjarlais looks like a raw rookie

Tim Burke was the worst head coach I have ever seen this team have and that's saying something. Great defensive coordinator, absolutely terrible head coach.

I suspect that with hecht it's more about him trying to save face himself cause he's getting it good from everyone.

Well which if the eastern folks are gonna stay up late to watch? Box scores are just as good...

what a couple of chuckleheads. I just hate listening to these kinds of shows. These clowns thinking that their opinions are gospel. That's not related to any of the content, just the way they carry themselves on air. No wonder radio is dying.

Jesus ******* christ are you serious? When "progressives" are caught doing something there's usually consequences for it, but the good old "conservatives" routinely hold others to standards that they themselves never live up to. I mean christ the republicans are the so called law and order party but look at the criminal **** they're caught doing all the time.

Are you kidding? Everything is coming up Bombers. No starting qb, star running back suspended, but ticket free agent receiver released. Riders might as well throw in the towel now because there is no reason the bombers should win, so clearly they are going to squeak out a close win on the backs of a big defensive or special teams play which won't really count because of stats.

It's stupid arrogant crap like this that gets rider fans laughed at in every other city in the league. You seriously believe that it's the fans who make or break players? Get over yourselves.

Well considering all the clean tests previously.... all of them that a guy gets dinged for trace amounts does not diminish his career, just shows he wasn't careful with what he was taking and had to serve a suspension for it. But hey guess nothing he did is real right? String him up and make an example right?

Because Bob Irving isn't a rumour monger. He reports the facts not speculation and conjecture.

Yeah Harris' legacy is completely intact, just because Rider fans want to pretend otherwise doesn't make it true.

Can be said for any game by this team really. They play close games win or lose, just what they do.

So as expected it'll be a RB by committee thing. No problems with that.

The real factor is that the bombers have a couple fire hydrants plugging up the middle of the line and just stomp out the run. You'll appreciate it after this weekend I am sure. No one talks enough about Stove and Nevis and they work they do for the Bombers.

Guess that explains why he pulled out of the US open....

he had a great start last year too and faded, which I believe is the point here. What you do in the summer in the CFL really doesn't matter, what matters is how you do in the fall. A guy like Jefferson started slow and has been heating up.

probably hughes

I was gonna say, look at that helmet! Crackin' skulls.

I know and I have been pissed at him in games for gassing what should be easy catches, I'm just wondering how a guy forgets how to play football in one offseason. Cause he was pretty good for Calgary last year.
