Well for the least penalized team in the entire league..we must be pretty good at hiding all the dirtiness and cheating...well done boys

Time to put Gord Miller and Matty D out in the West Final then. TSN's best team period.

So funny, revisionist history in the making. Riderfans are in a bee-buzzing frenzy establishing their narrative excuse for the 2018 season and how the Bombers and "Dirty O'Shea" somehow managed to cheat the Riders out of victory in the playoffs, once well crafted the story will fester on for all eternity and become a much repeated legend. Meanwhile back at the shack, Chris Jones and company are sitting back sipping bourbon and cackling wildly as they've been exonerated of any failings by their half-witted employers and will probably be rewarded with an extension.

You do realize the irony of posting this deflecting and boneheaded comment in this thread, right...?

I think they did better with Bridge in. If ZC was in, we would have destroyed them.

So who will be calling this game? Cuthbert/Suitor, Black/Forde ... Or can TSN get it right and send out Miller/Dunnigan, the winning combo?

Looks like Acosta can go back to pissing off Trump and the WH

I'm sure GMs don't get too caught up on that stuff... for example, something Walters might be "kicking his own ass over" would be using a first round supplemental on Garrett Waggoner... we wanted a national LB... well if we had kept that first rounder, there was a man by the name of Alex Singleton that would've been available with that pick... he probably regrets that whole sequence of events but I doubt he dwells on it too much...

Three letters for Rider fans when it comes to cheating... S-M-S

We did it again, boys. If we need more wool to pull over their eyes, there are plenty more sheep to shear.

That's not even a contest IMO. Sara, all the way.....

No mention of dirty tactics being taught here..

How Drew Wolitarsky became a Bomber: https://www.bluebombers.com/2018/11/15/words-drew-wolitarsky/

Definitely more of a sitting 🦆 for a DL that was already dominating.

ZC sure wouldn't have beaten that outside containment like BB did a few times against us.

Trumps gonna lose it today lol

The missed call was due to human error. So solution is to add another human? If officials angle of vision is blocked like last week what's stopping it from happening to the extra one?

I had forgotten about this game & in reality it was my all time favourite. Here are some of my thoughts about it. August, 1969. Winnipeg Stadium. The Saskatchewan Roughriders vs the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Bombers had just traded superstar running back Dave Raimey to the Argos the week before. The Bombers had hoped that 1968's highly touted rookie qb John Schneider would begin to show potential to become the team's long term starter replacing Ken Ploen who had retired after the 1967 season. However, Schneider struggled mightily in 1968 behind a porous OL. The reality was that other than Raimey & flanker Ken Nielsen there was little or no talent to speak of surrounding him to get the ball to. In those days, Neither individual teams or the CFL kept track of the number of sacks teams gave up. Had they done so, the Bombers would have led the league by a wide margin in that category. Schneider's stats in 1968 showed that he threw almost 3 1/2 times as many picks (28) than TD passes (8) & his completion percentage was well under half at 44.8%. The fans had turned on Schneider & his confidence was shot. NFL veteran Don Weiss was the backup to Schneider. Rick Cassata the third string qb (another rookie) got very little playing time in 1969 throwing one pass. Casatta was eventually cut only to be picked up by the Ottawa Rough Riders where he led them to a Grey Cup victory in 1973 (That figures). The Bombers started the 1969 season on July 29th with a disastrous home opening 33-0 loss to the Edmonton Eskimos. A game where Schneider went 3 of 10 for 13 yards. Schneider played so badly that he was pulled at halftime & the veteran Weiss went in to mop up but hardly fared any better. The next day he was cut & the John Schneider era sadly came to a merciful end. The Bombers returned the favour by beating the Esks 14-13 in Edmonton a week later on August 4th under the guidance of Don Weiss at qb. The Bombers then lost the following week in Toronto on August 14th. But before the game, superstar running back Dave Raimey, who had grown tired of playing for a losing team publicly blasted the Bomber organization in the local Winnipeg media outlets claiming the team wasn't committed to doing what it took to build a winner. As well as saying Joe Zaleski & his staff were lousy coaches. Raimey demanded a trade to a winning team. However, in his book, "Goodbye Leo" , Argos Head Coach Leo Cahill claimed that when the Bombers played the Argos at CNE Stadium on August 14th, the Bombers ran a running play with Raimey going out of bounds at the Argos bench. The 2 had a quick conversation that went something like this: Raimey: "I wanna play here, Coach." Cahill: "We're working on a trade to get you here." Raimey: "What? Really?" Cahill: "Yeah. In the works." Then Raimey excitedly ran back to the huddle knowing his days as a Bomber were numbered. A day or two later, the trade was consumated. Going west to the Bombers was Argos veteran qb Wally Gabler (who was now the backup to Tom Wilkinson) with Raimey going east to Toronto. The Bombers were desperate to find a qb who could start & win. They felt that they had their man in Wally Gabler. It was a trade not only made out of desperation but also out of necessity as Raimey had embarrassed the Blue Bombers & especially GM Earl Lunsford with his comments to the media. That was something Lunsford would not tolerate with his Oklahoma temper & Raimey knew the consequences of his actions were coming.. On August 27, 1969 after less than a week of practice, Gabler started for the team & directed the 1-3 Blue Bombers to a huge 16-14 win over the first place 4-0 Saskatchewan Roughriders. The win drew some much needed life into a team that would struggle the rest of the 1969 season by finishing dead last in the CFL at 3-12-1. However, for that one game, Wally Gabler was magical in defeating the first place Riders. I remember how big a deal that victory was that night & how for the week following Gabler owned this town. That & the fact that was my very first Blue Bomber game I had ever attended. I was 14 years old & man was I hooked. After the game my friend & I ran onto the grass field at Winnipeg Stadium trying to tackle one another... hooting, hollering & screaming along with hundreds of other kids while the players were going back to their locker rooms. What. A. Great. Memory!

“Great to be playing Calgary Riders suck”

How so? Liberal support is down and there are plenty of posts critical of Trudeau in the correct thread. Weird post for this thread.

I saw them as matadors. As the bulls rushed past, they simply side-stepped them. Ole!

It does seem very ho-hum. Like for $100 million or whatever Vince estimates the start up costs, it really seems like a huge risk. But he's counting on TV rights fees for sports continuing to be valuable. XFL is slated to start a year after the other one (AAFL?). So...I dont know how successful it will be.

Well they already have his reincarnation but unfortunately for them McJesus can't play 60 minutes and can't play all positions. Overheard on the Oilers bench after McDavid trying to come off after his 15 minute shift , 'Hey what are you doing McDavid, get back out there'.

Since he was born in the USA, he's more like our Ben Cahoon. I remember how people used to ***** and moan that Cahoon wasn't really a non-import, back when he and Calvillo were killing us 3x yearly...

After we ended their season, I figured they'd spend their new found spare time watching videos of homeless people taking dumps. Seems to be a real fetish for some of them.

They would not have had that 32 yard romp that bridge did early...hence they would have had zero momentum early...

That is BS propagated by Ezra Levant (the Canadian version of Fox "News") and has been proven false years ago. Levant has been fired for spreading this crap and is no longer employable by any credible news service.

Trumps headed for a section 25 (mentally unfit), it's just a matter of time, he's already showing signs of the early onset of either dementia of Alzheimer's.

I hope the team (or teammates) chips in and pays these fines... the o-line is the heart and soul of this team and sometimes those little extra hits are what makes them intimidating... they don't typically do anything dirty, just a little extra to remind the opponent who they're playing against... And it sure goes against the narrative some were concerned we our more focused on building a team of choir boys... rather than good football players...

Some goof on Facebook broke a vein on his forehead about “the dirty bombers, dirty player culture, dirty O’Shea. He cheated as a player. The bombers cheat. That’s what a penalty proves, they cheat. Cheating cheaters.” Quite the ******* incredible rant.

He also ignores the fact that Mueller has twice had senate approval from his time as FBI director and that Mueller was originally appointed by W.

Putting another person on the field seems kind of disruptive. It's hard for me to imagine another legit professional sports league doing something like this in the middle of the playoffs.

Don't know why but the Stamps just tweeted some pictures from the 1965 Western Conference finals. Not only did we win that 3 game series but also there was one very notable play: Kenny Ploen passes to Ken Nielsen for a 109 yd TD, the longest pass reception in CFL playoff history.

There are so many good guys on the team. It's amazing. seeing a group of people working together like these guys are. Also, I like Walters sneakiness...... only team Drew didn't hear from prior to the draft, was the Bombers. Walters.....lurking in the weeds. imagine the GM's that are kicking their own asses over Streveler.

I don't think it deflects, just puts it into perspective. The Canadian Politics thread is primarily a Trudeau bash-fest.

Don't forget the style points..... like looking around at each other, as opposing pass rushers breezed by, with stunned looks on their faces....

Not a bad idea. #82 certainly uses his strong hand to catch.

Best group of Canadian receivers we’ve had since I started watching football. Our Canadian talent is argueably the best and deepest in the league!

also after basically being ignored for about the first 3 or 4 games after Nichols came back from injury...I see him as a legit 1000 yard guy next year, and a high percentage guy on second down conversions...proved to be pretty clutch in last 3rd of season

650 yards and 5 TD’s in his first full season. Sky is the limit for this kid!

I think I should be hired as a ninth ref, with my only job being to stare at the cheerleaders...

.Riderfans types are attempting to paint themselves as the MOST victimized with league staff cuts . They are paying the price for undisciplined spending of OTHER teams. The. Most. Self-absorbed. Fanbase. On. Earth.

Well you know what they say: "If you can remember the 60's, you weren't there." 😉

But with more Woli! He's a great kid and a helluva baller.

And a headshot on a receiver or RB? Yeah, ignore that. I am only allowed to watch the QB. Dumb as bricks.
