  1. I could name over a dozen bad Bomber QB's we've had here in the past decade. It really is a QB driven lead. Decent offense with Ray under center. Absolutely nothing with the Argos backups.
  2. Neither Toronto or Montreal are going anywhere this season. Just bad mediocre at best football.
  3. Matthews trying to end Coombs career.
  4. Boring game. The East is terrible.
  5. Scrub Nichols is only on pace for 5000 yards 33 touchdowns and 12 INT, and a 12-6 record. god he sucks. Can't we do better?
  6. I don't like waiting until Saturday to watch the Bombers play
  7. Have you never seen PK Subban? He's one stylish dude.
  8. Let's not look past Hamilton. This is professional football and teams can win any given Sunday. These guys are playing for their careers so they have something to play for.. That being said is I'm excited to see us play Edmonton. They have a good not great team. If we can beat them at home then we know we can compete with the best in the league.
  9. Meh he was getting paid starter money to be a fringe starter/backup not to mention a broken hand. He had some decent plays/games but he got exposed in coverage quite a bit. I'm sure because of his "name" he'll get a shot on another team and might just be good enough to start in a weak secondary but I feel comfortable going with some of our new guys and we've seen some good development in the past few weeks.
  10. ELITE AT WINNING! 14-5 as a starter since coming in for Drew Willy, and sure he doesn't put up as many yards as the other elite QB's in the league, but he protects the ball, and he will do whatever it takes to win. His game winning drives against Montreal and Ottawa prove how big how balls are when push comes to shove.
  11. Decent job? JFG catches everything that's thrown his way. He's on pace for almost 600 yards. But yes having another capable NI reciever would be perfered. I hope DW can be that guy. In not mad at who we picked at number one. We have some depth at DL I'm ok with developing and easing him into the line up. Obviously they see starter potential in him one day and we have the players in place right now that it doesn't have to be this season.
  12. Also last week to BC in convincing fashion but shh they have short memories. It's like after every loss it's the end of the works but by the middle of the week they come into every game super cocky. It's a peculiar thing.
  13. I remember when we were in a position of little depth and were grabbing guys off PR. I don't miss that era. I'm so glad we've built a team with a good starters, and good depth, and mostly importantly good Canadian depth.
  14. I read rider fans proclaiming they would beat BC and sweep us. Delusional bunch over there.
  15. Great move by the NFL. One step closer to continuity and consistency for the refs. I would love to see that in the CFL but I don't know if it's in the budget for the CFL. Referring has been especially bad this year.
  16. I was a big fan of KG back in the days but the fans ran him out of town..
  17. Signed Phillip Hunt, traded for O'dell Willis, signed Hefney, signed Jovon Johnson, brought in Adaruis Bowman who is still a star today. All these guys except for Hefney who was arguably the best of them all are still in the CFL today almost 8 years later. I call BS
  18. Oh I don't know.. Mike Kelly was a **** for sure.. But he was a decent coach. He almost got us to the playoffs with Michael fricking Bishop. The year before he was in Edmonton and helped Ricky Ray achieve the best season of his career. He was also the OC for some really good Bomber offenses in the 90's including Dunigans 700 yard passing game, and the HC for Reid's single game rushing record. The biggest problem is Taman had a lot of over paid, underachieving vets on his roster the year before so it was somewhat of a rebuilding season. I personally think he laid the ground work for the success of the 2011 Grey Cup team. He obviously had his faults and I don't blame them for going another direction after the season but scrubs like Reinbold, and Burke were a whole level worse then Kelly.. Infact the Burke era was some of the most unbearable football I've ever seen. You almost came into the game hoping new players would make an impact and were worth keeping for next season instead of expecting to win the game.
  19. No doubt in my mind Hamilton will try to play like Ottawa last week and run with a hurry up offense and try and get the ball out quickly. That O-line is attricous in Hamilton. I thought our defense made the right adjustments though on Ottawa so no reason to doubt they couldn't do it again. Obviously at this point in Hamilton players are playing for their job security so it's a must win for them. Can't take them lightly!
  20. I'm surprised JE never even got a shot with another team.
  21. I see no issue with it either. If you get the opportunity to potentially start and earn a game cheque on another roster so be it.
  22. I'm not complaining
  23. Meh he started 4 games his senior year at Oklahoma. I'm not at all that impressed.
  24. One other thing worth mentioning was the amount of times we were inches away from blocking punts. About three if I member correctly! If we take care of Hamilton like we should were sitting pretty at 5-2. Loving the adversity of this football team. For years we would always lose the close football games, in the last calendar year it seems like we're coming out of these games more often then not the W. Good football teams pull out wins. It's professional football, any team has a chance any given Sunday and comes to play. You've seen teams like Calgary always winning those close games. It's no coincidence.. They're a confident football club and I think we're we're on our way building confidence laying the foundation to be a great football in this league.
  25. On a somewhat related note. Looks like on the Rider board some posters are starting to call their 2016 first overall pick Josiah St.John "Shomari Williams" he can't make their active roster on a mediocre Saskachean offensive line.
