D. Adams
As is the case with many, many, of the recruits that the CFL gets to pick from the problem with Thorpe was his attitude. There are literally hundreds of TJ Thorpes that have come through our league. Great talent but short on brains.

Who has the better team: Calgary or Winnipeg?
You never heard? Despite losing 2 out their last 3 games and the win coming against a TiCat team that only lost because their receiver dropped a game winning TD, the fine folks at Riderfans are declaring the Riders to be the 2nd best team in the CFL right now. We're 9-3 and convinced we have little chance of a Grey Cup. lmao...both our fan bases can be quite funny sometimes.

2016 re-draft
Ekakitie is not a bust. He hasn't been here long enough to be one. Saying Ekakitie is a bust is like saying Muamba was a bust because he rarely played in year one.

Westerman Out For Season
Wiecek is just grousing because he doesn't get to sit in the back of the media scrum munching on free donut's and Timmies coffee, while the team spoon feeds him his 500 words, that he will then twist and distort completely. Now he has to actually ask questions and stuff and formulate his anti-Bomber rant based on his own though processes. This scares him....and so it should. "Shock" journalists hate it when the truth comes out prior to deadline.

Bombers Release Thorpe
IF the guy is another Nic Grigsby or TJ Harris, and it appears to be looking that way based on Osh's comments, then his attitude will be his undoing. There is no questioning his talent, but he will have to get it between the ears before he will be a successful long term professional. I am glad we moved him out if that's the case.

Bombers Release Thorpe
Standard Player Contract. Guys on the PR aren't under contract, they are brought in under the terms of the Practice Roster agreement in the CBA.

Bombers Release Thorpe
Activate his SPC. The team has the right to do so.

What to do about the D?
You don't think the first drive was scripted? Usually is.

Don't have to, it's self evident.

Loudest Fans
Did you go to the LDC? If so, the poop may have been deposited by a Riderfanus McCallumus. Very rare animal outside of Saskatchewan, but they are known to identify and then stalk people who have angered them and then defecate on their driveway. Not known for their intelligence though, so you may be able to distract them in the future with shiny objects and pictures of their female relatives.

What to do about the D?
Lapo is not Dave Dickenson, they have different styles. That does not make Lapo's style poor though? Lotsa ways to skin a cat, Lapo's ball control offence is time proven and he is an excellent play caller and makes excellent in game adjustments and progressions throughout the season. A very effective offence, that is shown in both the stats and the standing to be one of the best in the CFL.

What to do about the D?
Lankford is no Quincy McDuffie but he's not bad either. He is neither great or bad at what he does. He earns his salary which is likely quite a bit less than what McDuffie is making now. Not that he's done a bad job at receiver, but he is a receiver that we should be looking to upgrade on.

The next three
Tate is a wingnut. He's talented but he has even gone on record saying he prefers to be back up because that way he doesn't get hit.
-
The next three
Tate is allergic to contact. Extremely easy to get him off his game.

Loudest Fans
A few thoughts... Who cares why we are the loudest...it is irrelevant...we are the loudest. It is no secret that Rider fans live in a bubble of their own creation. Only way to endure 100 years of futility is to lie to yourself about it. The moose dying sucks but will make a wonderful addition to the freezer of a low income old folks home on a reserve somewhere.

We need to petition the CFL Commish to host LDC
Only the first seven...after that they taste quite good I think....can't quite remember though.

Is it time for Davis...
Jones had a hard time fielding 21 NATs last game. Doubt he is trading any NATs off his roster right now.

Keep the LDC, but according to Riderfans the BB needs to be turfed because it hurts their feelers. Not joking...whole thread about it.

Around the League - Regular Season Discussion (Redux)
Poor moose died on it's way to the meatsaw....I mean freezer...I mean bush. Nature's beef will not be forgotten.

The next three
I hope Harris is their QB when they face us because I am confident he can't beat us with his left arm.

Bringing the Riders back to earth and their fans back to reality ...
100% guaranteed it's Migs. His signature line "who or what is a Migs" is in the last post. He literally posts that line every time someone calls him out. He's been trolling both Bomber sites for a few weeks now.
-
We need to petition the CFL Commish to host LDC
You got that right. Even Migs has been semi-retired for the past few years. Only came crawling out when his team fluked out a couple wins.

Never ceases to amaze me how people feel obligated to pass judgement on other posters reactions.

Bombers will win both games. Book it. (Just my opinion though.)

I thought the mods showed remarkable restraint.
