  1. Ottawa won't be easy, and Edmonton is still tough at home. Would never count Hamilton out either as they have a little momentum winning two and a row. As per usual we'll have to bring our A game if we're going to come out with wins. No game is an easy win on the schedule but I'm confident we'll be able to atleast take two out of three which would leave us in a good position at 10-4.
  2. He did his job yesterday. He got into the endzone. By no means a perfect player but with his speed he keeps the defense honest and opens up the short/middle part of the field because you have to respect his speed.
  3. Leggett is simply just a play maker. The MVP of our defense. Whether it's a big tackle, timely INT, forced fumble, perfect coverage, or a big ST play you just put him anywhere in our lineup and he's going to make something good happen. One if not the most underrated player in the entire league.
  4. Montreal has quietly been one of the biggest **** show organizations in the past few years. They seem very close to fading into obscurity. The days of AC and Trestman are long gone.
  5. He's had an injury. He's 32 he might not be a part of a teams future but he's far from done, and I wouldn't trade for him but if they released him I'd bring him in for the rest of the season. A big phsyical YAC yard reciever would thrive in our offense.
  6. About to become a star in Hamilton!
  7. These people ALWAYS come out after a Bomber loss. It's like they enjoy the misery and controversy. Well luckily were 7-3 and haven't experienced a lot of losing. You would think we're the Hamilton Ti-Cats the way our own fans talk about our football team instead of having the second best record in the CFL
  8. If it happens right before the snap then no question in my mind it should be called a delay of game penalty. That would stop it right then and there. Such a cowardly way to conduct a football team.
  9. Jonathon Jennings happened. Since then the Rider defense grabbed the momentum.
  10. I guess but AB had nearly 1800 yards and 9 TD's last season. I'd take him back in Blue and Gold in a heart beat.
  11. I think what it comes down to is getting production on first down. Too many times we were in second and long, and the Riders would send three and we'd settle for the Lapo special which would be a 3-4 yard pass on second and long. Our offense is typically at its most dangerous and our play calling is usually really good when its second and medium or second and short. If we don't get that first down production we're not going to put enough points on the board period.
  12. I mean yes Walker is great. But their receiving core is already solid and the least of their worries. They need help on the o-line and on the defensive side of things. Walker won't come cheap. He'll likely be one of the higher/highest paid receivers in the league. If Edmonton really wants to roll the dice with their current o-line and defense then so be it.. Because I don't think Walker is enough to put them over the top and it doesn't do enough to hide their short comings.
  13. World class?! Saskatchewan is a **** hole and their fans are loud and obnoxious. I got a job offer with a substantial pay raise to go live out there and I declined without a moments hesitation.
  14. Well.. Coach O'shea was the first coach to beat the Riders on Labour day since Dave Richie coaches this team so I don't think that was the case.
  15. Short lease? He's having a MOP type season. Take off the green glasses already. Yesterday was his worst game of the season and he still threw for almost 400 yards and 2 TD passes.
  16. Apparently Bomber fans spit on Duron Carter. If true that's absolutely classless. Proceeds to say Bomber fans are the worst fans in the CFL and he can't wait to kick our asses next week. This guy is such a clown.
  17. As much as I like Nichols I've noticed he's had a lot of trouble in recent games when teams are only rushing three and dropping back 9. Saskatechewan exploited that yesterday and he looked very average. I'm hoping we'll be able to make the proper adjustments on offense next week because the three yard dump play on second and long won't cut it.
  18. I fully hope/expect us to be 9-2 after this stretch. I think the riders are a good team but I think we're a great team waiting for a swep.
  19. Should be a great game. Wouldn't be surprised if Riders took this one in a squeaker and then we won the next weekend, but obviously confident we can compete and hopefully get the sweep.
  20. I think there's a fine line that gets crossed here too often. As passionate football fans obviously a little good natured ribbing on the Riders is fine. We're rivals, and I expected their fan base to do the same. As annoying as I find some of their fans I would never paint every single fan with that same brush. I've partied with many rider fans after the banjo bowl and most of them are great supportive fans who love football. I think it's important to create a mutual respect between fanbases because at the end of the day both fan bases have their bad apples but most fans are good fans.. Like I said good natured teasing back and forth is fine but personal attacks on people who disagree with your opinion isn't ok. Someone like Ripper who is a regular on this forum is a good example. I may not always agree with his opinion and I myself might give him a tough time over it but I respect that right that he has an opinion and atleast backs up his arguments.
  21. Good luck expecting Rider Fans to think with logic. That's expecting too much.
  22. Look at Adams stats compared to receivers. He's been of the very best in the league this season.
  23. Defense came to play that day. They're were awesome. For the most time they completely shut down Joseph who was the MOP of the season. Glenn was at his best in 07. It would have been a blow out for the blue bombers if he was there.
  24. Once the weather gets colder, and the stakes get higher Glenn will do is disappearing act. No doubt in my mind. Good for him though for playing at a high level and giving Saskatechewan a chance.
  25. When we have the ball longer, and run more plays its bound to happen our o-line has been great this season.
