I'm OK with that

Wonder if Walters is reading this board, starting to notice and recognizing the gravity of the fans anger

I like this trade, Capers will start (we can afford to use one less national) and a 2nd rounder is always great.

Everyone (including me) complains about what a perennial loser this organization has been since our last Grey Cup win in 1990. While 24 going on 25 years without a Grey Cup championship can taint a fan's rational/thinking process, what does the actual record say? Let's look at the team's records since 1991 and see if we are as bad as many believe we are/have been: Bomber Regular Season CFL Record 1991 9–9 1992 11–7 1993 14–4 1994 13–5 1995 7–11 1996 9–9 1997 4–14 1998 3–15 1999 6–12 2000 7–10–1 2001 14–4 2002 12–6 2003 11–7 2004 7–11 2005 5–13 2006 9–9 2007 10–7–1 2008 8–10 2009 7–11 2010 4–14 2011 10–8 2012 6–12 2013 3–15 2014 7–11 2015 3–7 So a total record of 10 times .500 or better, 13 (not counting this season) under .500. Not the greatest but certainly not as dismal as we often portray it. In these past 24 seasons, the Bombers have participated in 5 Grey Cups (1992, 1993, 2001, 2007, 2011). Also not a terrible record. The issue of course is the 5 Grey Cup losses. For various reasons we have seemed to be snake bit in that regard but one could argue at least three of those losses could have been wins if you factor in season ending injuries to Matt Dunigan in 93, Kevin Glenn in 07 and a big letdown in the 2001 game. The losses against the Stamps in 92 and 2011 seemed to be justified as both of those teams were superior to the Bomber squad IMO. Overall since 1991 it looks like the Bombers have not been world beaters but also it looks like with a little luck we may have had an opportunity for a few more Cups and considerably less angst among us fans. Maybe this is too simplistic or an answer that some don't want to hear but I think we need to keep the faith Bomber fans. Yes it looks bad (low point) right now but I've been a fan of this team and this league long enough to know it can change and quickly. Not saying I like the way the current administration is doing everything or that there won't be another overhaul in a year or so, but at some point I still believe this team will get back to it's winning ways. Hopefully it starts this weekend!

splat is next ...

I think we're in a nosedive which is worse than a tailspin

One down ...

Poor slobs ...

Um. The real perspective is Winnipeg is in real serious trouble. If they were even a mediocre team they would get by with having a dubious back-up. There is not one positive to draw from this game ... Other than fans will not have to pull out their winter wear to watch games in November. The other positive is that the Jets will be nicely into their season by then so we can forget this mess somewhat ...

Well if we wear them at least our unis will match our ugly play

Yep

Depressing thought 7,294,898.00057 ... In the last 50 years the Riders have won more Grey Cups than we have

What I'm hoping for ... What I expect ...

That's what I'm worried about ...

This organization is diseased, some good players but they are not being used or coached properly. I guess we could win next week and regain some faint hope but I've seen this movie too many times in the last 25 years. To think, I used to get so much joy out of watching the Bombers play, now it's "do I want to waste/ruin my day or not"?

Unbelievably this may not even be it for this season!

No offence, bad ST play, stupid penalties, injuries ... just another LDC for the Bombers

Heck he could kick my wife and sleep with my dog if he wanted

No comment.Don't tell me a shirtless Taman/Miller Blue Bombers calendar wouldn't be a hit with the ladies!! lol Why can't the internet get rid of these gifs?

There's discussion at riderfans about Dunigan's assertion that Taman was the source for the Lawless article on the firing of Chamblin. Some speculation that he may have given the story to Lawless to in some ratlike way, preserve his own crumbling employment. If true who needs people like that here, we just got rid of Mack ...

This team is NOT that desperate! That is all ...
