I'm guessing you're saying that because Craig coaches the Saskies...but honestly I have learned to gain respect for Craig Dickinson. He is honest, straight- forward, and humble. Dave Dickenson on the only hand, is arrogant, whiny, and bitchy. I know they have the same last name, I'm just not sure they are related...

At this time, coach of the year is down to Craig D and Khari. Two rookies that neither club wanted to lead their team..

khari.  He was handed the rains as the season started without having any say over his assitants and turned that team around on his own.

For my money they can get rid of live mic games and replace them with mics in the command centre so we can hear the process they go through when reviewing calls or deciding whether to make use of the "eye in the sky"

For all the potential the “eye in the sky” had, it has turned into a curious waiting game for the fans who want to see correction to the game we love.

craig D should not even be a consideration from inheriting an already established team...it's Khari all the way...anything but would be an error by the voters

 

So if Rempel can't play.  Do we have a back up long snapper or do we bring cousin Zack back?

I think Streveler threw his best pass of the game at the end when he threw into the kicking net.

On a real note, It's going to be disgustingly loud here saturday.

Miles did a pretty good job after Rempel went out. Not sure if there's another in game backup though

good luck

one missed call that still p's me off was the missed PI in the LDC in 2007 against Derick Armstrong.  Back then you couldn't challenge those BS missed calls like you can now.

Anybody think that maybe Hamilton’s HC is in the running? Fairly academic when you consider the season is barely half over but time will tell. 

You know I had read some Rider fans boasting about how good their OL was, but man all I saw in that labour day game was the Bombers defensive line absolutely owning them. If the refs bothered to call holding it woulda looked even worse than the terribly poor performance they already turned in. They try and get the ball out of fajardos hands super quick but he still took quite a few good pops and was under siege all game long. 

The Rider OL is not good. Riderfans are lucky that 75% of their offence is 5 yard slants or their QB would be road kill right now.

pretty much all they run...purely because of that craptacular oline...they like to trumpet "we have less sack"....but anyone with any football I.Q knows that doesn't mean much in the grand scheme...certainly not an indicator of being best line...when we grade lines we look at time from snap..to time ball is out of QB''s hand...what play was...what defense ran...etc..etc...and I bet the Rider QB holds the ball the least in the entire league..again...to cover for weak oline play...

I honestly felt like we could have, should have had more than the 5 sacks they already got. That line gets away with all kinds of holding. 

They had trouble picking up stunts a couple times a Bomber came in untouched up the middle.

just listening to Rod Penison on 1290 right now...what an utter and pathetic dumbass...see he has his Rider goggles on again..the tripe that flies out his piehole is laughable at best

Hey we don't like all the trash talk......but Bombers just have to get it done this weekend.  Crucial.

I remember another one. Might have even been that same game. Matt Dominguez shoving Kelly Malveaux out of the way and catching a the ball in the end zone. Crowd goes nuts. I'm sitting in the stands thinking "Sit down, losers, it's not a TD. That's the most obvious offensive PI I've ever seen". No call. Of course.

Maybe Eli?

After that blatant hit on Rempel and the disgusting, infuriating non-call, I will be very disappointed if there isn't a tacit bounty on Fajardo this Saturday.

Seriously have to make CF pay this week for his patented spin move. Take his one move out and he no longer gets his extra steamboats.

I just hate how biased the officials are....who do you think is paying them off? LOL......Anyone ever here of the accuracy rating based on fan opinion?    50 %.

Yup. I was sitting right in front where that happened. I thought for sure a flag would be thrown. Nope. Thanks refs! 

(Hopefully the refs do some payback and have some calls go out way this weekend).

Well it's official.. the geniuses at CFL determined the hit on Rempel was not dirty and therefore no further discipline is warranted.    Also forum favourite and soon to be pulitzer prize winner Paul Friesen says O'Shea was off base for yelling at Dickenson.

I'd use this as bulletin board material and smack the living crap out of the Riders this saturday.    I have never ever wanted to win a game so badly like I do on Saturday now.
