Says the guy who was totally off the deep end of negativity during the game.

Guy is a douchebag but his actions lead to us getting Streveler and Biggie and that helped us win the cup in 2019 so I can't totally hate him.

You want a happy medium from us die hards?

He's been fighting for at least 5 years out in BC. Watched his last fight on UFC Fight Pass and it won KO of the night... Too bad for him he was on the wrong end of the KO! 100% sure there are a few people on this board that could take that fight!

No ****- I used to laugh at riderfans when they would implode after a loss- but we have completely outdone anything I have seen on RF in the past few years... It is amazing that 5-6 posters can out do RF like that.

Seconded. Not saying anybody is flat out wrong but holy **** this place is depressing. It's like the polar opposite of TEP where the bombers have never once ever done anything wrong. Where's my happy medium?

The luster of 2 Grey Cups with Osh at the helm is starting to fade, now injuries to two key players and we really don't have anyone that can step in for them. I like Canadian talent but do we really have to put the team at a disadvantage because the coach has a crusade of some sort.

After following this thread for the better part of a week... I am to believe that: -The Bombers have fallen off a cliff -We are no longer a good team -MOS is a **** coach -Collaros is a **** QB- not even above average or even average- just ****. -Our run game is garbage. -Buck pierce is a **** OC -Younger is alright, but nothing to write home about. -Our Offence is **** -Our practice roster is ****. -Our Specialty teams is trash and **** at the same time. -Our Defence is borderline garbage and out of shape. -We cut all star players to retain old fat vets that just take up space and serve no purpose other than being ****. -There is sooo much rust- probably from all that ****. -Our LBs are old, broken and... ****. -We don't have enough DLmen so after the 1st quarter- they're gassed and tired ****. -No RBs- even BO is kind of ****- now he's injured ****. -Our Receiving core is too old, too expensive and are being paid too much for being ****. -Our oline outside of Eli and the GOAT are- you guessed it, ****. -DBs - new and raw ****. -Kicker and punter- **** -Special teams- yup, ****. - KR? 'fraidy fumble **** ****. -Team is in real trouble. No way it will improve, because of all the above. Jesus... this is bumming me out.

To your first point, some of what I’ve heard leads me to believe there already is

Discarded in lieu of the old guard

Bang on. We had soo much talent at lber in camp. Not playing any of those guys is aggravating as all hell.

Injuries take there toll....and Tre Thomas was just making plays...all over the field...and in training camp...alas we let him walk as opposed to giving him a chance...or at the least earn his chops on the PR...but we have 2 extra DB's currently there..as well as an extra on roster...seems excessive in one position...minimal in the other...

Personally I think Kyrie Wilson is someone we can and should have improved on. Appreciate his prime. But he's past it.

It also lost us a Grey Cup

I'm late to posting today but count me in as frustrated by our lineup choices for tomorrow, the overall roster and the use of the PR. At what point is there a rif between MOS and Walters? At what point does Wade see the bottom line being impacted and step in?

Finally...another convert in seeing the light...and how our HC isn't all that and then some

Yes...it also says 21 Nationals.. one of which to be a nationalized American....regardless how you disect it...we aren't doing it....and it denies us the ability to have an extra import on the roster...as well as use the mationalized import for Canadian reps...which is just plain stupidity...arrogance...or whatever you wanna call it. Being the only team not doing it says volumes...just like starting an American FB who you have to waste a DI spot on ...the only team to make that pointless...and idiotic move...actually in the history of the game...says even more

Mci had one carry but yes. If he was any more upright in that run he could’ve dunked lol.

Nailed it

Well sure but the point is about how we could get more strong American players starting on offence and defence - we are essentially giving up 2.5 American starters by starting 9 Canadians and ignoring the Nationalized American rule. We could get Adams on the field full time, more Brian Cole, and start an American RB just by using the rules available to us. And there's no downside!

Rosery is a great example of the lack of preparation here. Guy who got the most reps in pre-season games at tailback. Plays well. Gets cut. Chris-Ike likely will need to play some tailback tomorrow and no reps for him. We bring in a guy who wasn't in anyone's camp to chase kicks and maybe play some fullback. Watch him get injured tomorrow. All these guys busted up coming out of camp....so we didn't go hard to get ready for the season, and we have a half dozen guys on the 6 game. They really need to do some thinking on how to run an effective training camp. I expect a loss this week. Ottawa's season and home opener. We are still the franchise with the target on our backs. No one is having a let down against us.

Or ya know... just play Eli there...

We could have a core 6 of nationals: Demski, Wolitarsky, Neufeld, Kolankowski, Dobson, Stanley Bryant (nationalized) Then you use Kramdi as a starter on defence but name him a designated national, meaning he can be replaced by a nationalized American for 25 plays. Name Kyrie Wilson a Designated Nationalized American and he is able to come in for those 25 plays. When Kramdi is in, B.Cole plays WLB, but when Kramdi comes out, Cole shifts over to SLB and Wilson plays WLB. That makes seven national starters with one being able to be replaced for 25 plays a game. So you need one more national starter. This could either be Ford at CB which allows you to start an American at RB, or you could use Augustine at RB, allowing you to start an American at corner. In either case you have four Americans starting on the DL. The roster really could be quite a bit better without even changing who is dressed, or by adding one stud American RB (if we bothered to bring one in). We could even decide to pull out Kolankowski and start an American C if we really wanted to, without much issue.

Truth to that for sure. But even last year we had guys that have succeeded here on teams. Another is that tackling is a direct result of discipline and coaching. Walter’s, goveia, McManus, and ringmaiden.
