Bragging about the Riders OL when Collaros didn't stay in the pocket at all.... That seems a reach even for Rider fans. Most of the good passes from Collaros were when he got outside the pocket. Calgary was bad, they have been bad for a while now. That's what happens when injuries start taking their toll on a team. Their offense was spotty this year compared to previous years before they lost all those receivers, they relied heavily on their D at the start of the year and that just isn't sustainable.

I see check stops regularly, but again, you can't police every street that has a bar on it. I also vehemently disagree that check stops do more than conversations. Talking about topics does way more to get people to think about their choices than anything else.

So you want to set up check stops outside every bar? You think the police have unlimited manpower and resources?

cheering for the Riders is never an option.

Lulay has always been a damned good quarterback, just keeps busting his shoulder. Bottom line just beat Calgary next week and it's all good.

Because people are selfish assholes.

You think at 9 wins you're pretty secure, but no, not this year. **** we're on the bye and I'm stressed by the standings. Well played CFL schedule department, well played.

No it doesn't make a difference. And I'm not talking about having a couple drinks and driving, I'm talking about getting behind the wheel when you're good and drunk. I know people who have done it and I think less of them because of it. So Bomber or no, piece of ****.

This is exactly why I have such low tolerance for people doing it. You want to put your own life and safety at risk that's fine but do not put innocent people's lives at risk. In this day and age it is just completely unacceptable and I don't care if you're a rock star, a movie star, an athlete or just a regular joe, if you drink too much and drive you're a piece of ****.

yeah if you watch carefully a lot of times in TV and movies if there's a football game on in the background it'll be a CFL game.

yeah and all those people who drive under the influences are pieces of ****.

You know what happened in that game? In period 3 the Oilers coaches finally changed the lines around to what the fans have been screaming for since forever. Put Puljujarvi with Draisaitl, stopped making him drag Lucic around all the time and putting yamamoto and Lucic with strome in the bottom 6 and take some of the pressure off them. It changed the dynamic of the lines and they all started playing better. They also stapled Benning and Garrison to the bench on D after they were on the ice for the first 2 goals against. Benning has been on the ice for something stupid like 70% of the goals against for the Oilers, no idea why they keep dressing him. Draisaitl has had a poor start to the season so no wonders he's not noticable, but again McDavid looked invisible when they made him drag Lucic around for half the year last year too. And the reason the Oilers D looks slow is because it is. Only Nurse is a great skater out of the bunch. Klefbom and Larsson are OK skaters but hardly speedsters.

Tina?

Cause I will give Lapo credit when it's deserved.

especially one who has had probably less than 5 passes thrown to him

and Kassian if he feels like it. Khaira isn't a total goon but is showing a lot, and Nurse can be a tough dude when he wants, but being thin on D has kept him from really having the ability to sit in the penalty box for 5 minutes.

forget connor macgregor, this is why it made me laugh:

Iwas thinking after the 2nd offensive td

Nope. Not in the context of that game. Lapo does this thing where if the offence doesn't need to move theball he won't let it cause he'll call the most bullshit safe game plan you've ever seen. Saturdays game was a classic case of show up, score 2 touchdowns then the Bombers all but leave the stadium on offence cause they don't need to be there anymore.

Lapo is way too conservative. If the guy had a set of balls he'd be a great coordinator but I've seen too much of his play not to lose mentality over the course of the 3 times he's been here and I ain't a fan.

he fell down an elevator shaft onto some bullets.

It got your collective panties in a bunch so mission accomplished.

Why not give thompkins a chance to be that guy? He seems to have the athleticism.

Ottawa thrashed them once and played them to OT only a couple weeks ago... I fear Hamilton much less than Ottawa of the eastern teams.
