White Out

Can people stop calling someone who will be on the cusp of 30 next season young? Edit hes 28 next month. Not 29. Still hrs not what I'd call young.

Because he's shown to be highly capable, it's his first year as a starter and he's surrounded by (at most times) a pretty terrible supporting cast?My god the first 6 games of the year left quite an impression on you didn't they Some people are just able to look at the big picture and not fall into the shallow line of thinking that "team loses, qb must be bad!!!!" Yeah that's what I did. Or... I looked at a Qb being bad and simply called it as it is.

Peoples over evaluation of Willy is as comical as people wanting marve to start over him. Willy needs to be given more time next season. He also needs to make better decisions. His interception throwing is very concerning, but these are issues that time and experience may solve.

Willy is the next Dan Marino. Wash your mouth out with soap sir.

Our Bombers are now 2 games away from losing the entire second half of a season. Have we ever done this before? Even with 16 game schedule included. There's zero chance we win in Calgary so our only hope to salvage some iota of pride would be vs bc next week. Improved my ass.

It's crazy how excited I was for the game yesterday. And how 'meh' I am to go to tonights Bomber game. This team is and franchise is more disappointing than anything I can humorously drum up. I guess I'm excited to see the new stadium, but even if the Bombers stun the Stampeders it's not like were making the playoffs. I'm more excited to go to Alycias Ukrainian deli, in other words.

What do you define as losing interest? If it means you watch the games still and go out to the stadium, but don't care what happens, then sure, I've lost interest. If it means you tune out and dont watch the games then no, I haven't. I can't imagine how anyone who's a Bomber fan could care about this team anymore this season. I mean get really emotionally invested. They've checked out, how can you stay totally checked in? When I go to the game next week vs Calgary I'll be there to enjoy the new stadium and being around all my fellow Bomber fans, but win or lose it makes no difference. Will I be happier with a win? Of course. Does it matter? No. My hero. /sarcasm.

i wonder if we ruined drew willy or he wasnt that good to begin with?

this team is a massive improvement from last year. lol anyways, on a more serious notes. MOS looks way over his head. we have a bad offensive line. our coordinators on both sides of the ball are routinely being out coached. bring your brooms fellas, cuz its a mess.

They could lose every remaining game and it would still be a huge improvement from last year, I think you are forgetting just how bad they were last year. Out of the game before the first quarter was done more nights than not, at least this time when they're getting beaten it's after a close game. I just don't subscribe to this logic. I think it matters where the losses and wins happen. If we had started off this bad, and recently won 5 of 6 I could agree. But were regressing so sharply that has to be taken into account. If we lose every game remaining in the season, including to a terrible Ottawa team, this team is in deep trouble next season. Wins in July and August mean nothing if the team completely falls apart. I just don't get how that's not understood,.

god i hope we win. im really getting tired of losing. if we do lose tonight i wonder if people will still keep insisting we've made such big improvements from last year.,

Wambulance mfranc? LOL Nothing will bring me greater pleasure than watching the Riders lose in the playoffs this year. Zilch. You're coming on here beaking off about your team beating one of the worst teams in CFL history and it took overtime to do it. Yes, your team got away with another touchdown return where 2 infractions occurred. Stop trying to passing it off as if its a magical balancing act. It was a screw up and a bad call. No tears, no crying, no waahmbulance or however you hip kids spell it. Your team is overrated and will crash hard. Facts.

True. Problem with some posters around here is they only see the bad officiating when they want to and turn a blind eye when they don't want to see it. The only thing worse than incompetent boobery that costs teams a game with terrible non calls is when fans who receive those calls then proclaim that calls were missed both ways.

missed block to the back and a roughing the kicker both missed on a touchdown play. stay competent, cfl officials lol

I didn't call out any one person. Rather I said just take the whole post in. Over reaction by you and no, lol, no apology will be forthcoming.

If anyone wants some entertainment go read the thread for this at rfans. I honestly can say that if anyone was neutral on rider fans they can go there and see for themselves first hand what kind of football fans they are. Absolute classless pigs of a fan base. I can't wait for Calgary or Edmonton or whoever to roll them hard in the playoffs.

As much as a tool box I think mfranc is its not fair to bring his rider fans posts to question here.

Was he smiling?

nothing would be sweeter than to see Ottawa come into the triangle and dismantle that team.

So, as long as they stayed in their gaps, and made their tackles, the run defence would work….sounds about right. So, what does that tell you? It means 1 of 3 things. 1) He has the wrong scheme for the players 2) His players arent good enough 3) His players arent being coached properly or a combination. A lot of this lands on Etch but O'Shea is a defensive minded coach and likely spends a lot of time there.

Don't know what you mean even though you put it so eloquently. I just don't like fans putting words into our Coach's mouth, that eventually get repeated, when the actual words they use are not what O'Shea said in the first place. Pretty sure MOS also said that he didnt think the run game WOULD be a problem as long as guys made their tackles and stayed in their lanes, something to that effect. This was at least a month ago. Since then we've given up over 6 yards a carry easily for a month.

it would really put a damper on my trip home in october. i can see us giving calgary a tough time at home with drew. without drew i fear it would be a total beat down. stay buddy.

I'm not sure why you're taking such a point against this. MOS said the running game isn't a problem for our D. It clearly is as evidenced again where another CFL team just runs roughshod over us.

who said it was? but one halfback had 6 yards a carry, the other nearly 8 yards a carry. 160 yards combined. that's not going to be good enough.
