  1. Loffler.
  2. I'm exactly in the same situation as you too. I'm definitely the biggest Bomber fan in our group of friends the others are casual fans at best who watch NFL and play fantasy football. We're always at the Rum Hut, i'm the one to remind them there's an actual game going on from time to time
  3. I actually think its going to be a log jam for first in the West with us, BC, and Calgary. Calgary is the most polished team, BC has the most lethal offense, and we have the best defense and special teams.

    I'm not saying he is. But it's a little early to be ruling him out after two days.

    I don't understand what you mean? "Knox didn't take the job away from Bass last season" sure, but if we rewinded the clock back exactly a year ago toady people would have a hard time believing Matt Nichols not only would be our starting QB but a pretty damn good QB to boot.

    You do realize players do get better sometimes right?
  7. I'm alright with it. If it means having our core happy and signed up thats a big win in my books.
  8. Agreed. If he is our starting MLB when the season starts that would be a huge step backwards.

    Kevin Glenn in the CFL, and Russell Wilson in the NFL. My point is you don't need to be 6'5 to succeed.

    There was a guy I think his name was Doug Flutie. Yeah that guy was pretty good.
  11. Russell Wilson has a better career QB rating then Tom fricking Brady. Do you think anyone in their right mind would actually take Wilson over Brady?
  12. Nothing to see here. Riders looking to sign former Madden cover out casts. In "deep" talks with 31 year old Peyton Hillis who graced the cover of Madden 12 and hasn't done much since..He'll fit right in!
  13. Only because he's the forgotten man in the offense. Whenever he's targeted he makes the catch 9/10 times. Criminally underrated.
  14. And the Chicago Blackhawks get swept. Who saw it coming? Not me. Although the way Winnipeg played Chicago this season I definitely saw some holes in their game that made me doubt they were the Chicago of old, even if they won a lot of regular season games.
  15. My thoughts on the Columbus-Pitts game.. Fleury was fantastic. 39 saves. If Vegas gets him in the off season they'll be getting a quality goaltender. Crosby was noticeable every shift out there and it showed with 3 points. I thought Columbus played well but at the end of the day they just don't have any player as good on the ice as Crosby and Malkin.
  16. What I mean is he isn't a star. He's a great top six player. Stupidly underrated. Perfect number two center behind Scheifs.
  17. A lot will depend on Nichols. We've created a good team with depth around us. If Nichols plays as good if not better then last year we have a chance at a home playoff game. If he plays like he did in 2015 were fighting for 500.
  18. Meh there's a lot of questions about Nolan Patricks game. It's a weak draft. I just like seeing our best players playing good hockey. We have Scheifele, and Wheeler in the top ten for points in the NHL. Our two best young players Laine, and Ehlers are top 30 in points in the NHL. Trouba who's been great all season is finding his offensive game that we havent truly seen since glimpses of it in his rookie season. We have role players like Little and Perreault contributing. Hopefully Connor and maybe Roslovic can contribute next season. Guys like Pavs, Thorburn, and Stuart will be gone. There's still a question mark with goaltending and coaching but i still believe in Hellebuyck. Carey Price had a 9.05 Save percentage in his first full season after a good rookie season (9.20) Hellebuyck posted 9.18 and 9.06 respectively. I think the future still looks bright. Heck I feel a lot better getting a top ten draft pick and winning 7 in a row to close the season then getting a top 5 pick and losing 7 in a row to close the season.
  19. Two places I remember as a kid.. -ourbombers -13thman good times.
  20. RF is a pretty insuperable place to be. A lot of bandwagon fans from the mid 2000's. You'd think since they've been a terrible football club in the past 2.5 years they would gain some sort of humility.. But nope Jones is still a genuis, and every other CFL team is overrated.
  21. Career highlights and awards Ted Hendricks Award (2013) Consensus All-American (2013) Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year (2013) First Team All-Big 12 (2013) USA Today, Parade, EA Sports High School All-American (2009) Quite the pedigree. Hopefully his game transfers over to the CFL.
  22. Kohlert wasn't very good for us last year. He dropped too many balls. Hope he finds his game in Calgary. He was one of our best Canadian players in 2014. Shows how far our NI depth has come since then.
  23. This is correct. I believe Michael Bishop had a strong pre season game. He was even billed as the QB of the future once upon a time for the Patriots. Can you imagine that!
  24. The irony is real. Fans on RF making fun of the Argos for signing often injured Jeff Fuller, when the Riders just signed often injured Chad Owens.
  25. I would be a veryy happy camper if we landed Jackson.
