O'SHEA IS TERRIBLE AND EVERYTHING WE HAVE ACHIEVED IN THE LAST DECADE IS IN SPITE OF HIM I WOULD RATHER HAVE CRAIG DICKENSON BECAUSE AT LEAST HE DIDN'T START THAT MANY CANADIANS HOW ******* DARE YOU!

For those that are on the fence...does it look dirty now?

Great photo!

Bloody communists. Why do they hate Alberta so much? Should all be driving jacked up pickup trucks.

Please, predicting the riders will suck is the easiest bet going.

The funniest part is that 6-6 actually overestimated how well they would do... Somehow I gave them too much credit

but we beat the lions....back to back as well...and also one was on a short week 3down is just trash....and generally seem to have an anti bomber bias....and I like that

Looks like a few people biked to the game.

First place in the west, 5 game win streak, just swept the ldc/bjb, and we have won the season series with bc, Calgary and ssk. Soo we drop 2 spots to 4th. Yep makes perfect sense to me, 3dn writing is trash. I hope the media and league continue to under estimate the bombers. If we get a bit healthier, use the roster a bit better, and get the pass game going it’s gonna be check mate.

Clown College PhD thesis.

I think Booch just complimented MOS - or came as close as he's going to get.

Turd down has definitely hit a new low.....Their power rankings are bunch of inaccurate anologies, with anti-Bomber bias thrown in....They aren't to be seen as credible with the latest rankings.....bogus at best

Buck has come under fire the last 2 weeks for being pretty vanilla and not taking shots down the field. Sometimes your opponent dictates that as your best strategy though. The reason the Riders have won any games this year is because their defence has been creating a mountain of turnovers. Take the turnovers away that they are not a winning club. We went with a game plan the last 2 games to minimize turnovers. I am not seeing the problem with that.

When we had that string of injuries to the rec core early. It was painfully obvious he had a hard time adjusting. They use Streveler as a slot and just let him run horrible routes. No changes, no using him as a potential run threat ..just line him up as a rec and go. So much could have been done there, but it was like Buck just wouldn't change course.

You seem to be suggesting taking more big shots downfield is the needed solution, whereas Zach waiting longer behind a crumbling O-line gazing down field for a receiver to emerge has led to more sacks and backfield fumbles in the last 2 seasons.

Buck is hamstrung right now by rookies throughout his lineup. Playing safe? Sure. Will he stay that way...not once guys get the amount of reps, recognition, and familiarity that will allow him to open things up a bit. Schoen being out, Bailey gone, and the OL being a patchwork crew have necessitated what he is doing right now. We may not like it...but that is the reality.

You are forgetting.... EMAGEHRD! ROURKE!

When I said I thought the OL had a decent game, I meant considering all the changes and being without Bryant But that does seem to be an area where more should be done, and I'm not sure how much say Buck has in that Love Neuf's feistiness but he's not getting any younger - same thing with Bryant Then there's Kola and Eli - seems like that situation could be better

I think Buck has a good ability to create schemes and plays....but doesn't seem to know how to use it in the game...how to adapt and see whats actually going on, and how to attack it...and how to defend against what's stiffling us A game day play call co-ordinator tho would do wonders here , and allow Buck the time to dig into the play book or scheme up the counter attack...I think he struggles with that aspect in games....

One thing that is always a pet peeve of mine as a cyclist is people not wearing helmets and I don't see a tonne in that video. Special shout out for the people who have their kids wear a helmet but they themselves are too cool for one. It would be awesome if the Bombers took a proactive approach and if you bike to the game, and check a helmet with your bicycle they would give you a voucher for Non-Alcoholic drink like they do for the Designated Driver program

If they lose to CGY aftr the bye....I cant see them winning more than 1.....and that would be glorious

Ok, somebody needs to be cut off. No more beer for you. 🤣

Is Johnson a good blocker? Tbh I havnt noticed him outside the couple plays he gets the ball

Speaking of Charlie: on the pregame show Doug asked him how he always got back into Coach Ritchie's good graces? Chuck's response: "A sausage biscuit from Macdonald's."

yup...for what he can offer and do on offence....hping we actually use it accordingly, he really offers us nothing in the negative....He still has elite speed and is a risk to pop off from anywhere...it's gonna come....and hopefully when it really matters Johnson tho?...easily replaced...I'd even just use Clercius there and not allocate him to who we have to have as a Canadian on the offensive side of the ball....he can still also do his role in the short and jumbo packages, and can slide Lucky out to that spot....and allows us to get Adams on the roster...or Fox...Or Brian Cole.....

PR Lucky 10.9 average Case 10.5 Smith 10.8 KR Lucky 19.2 Case 25.2 Smith 20.6 Not a big difference.

Yep. Same weakness as lapo. I think he does struggle with game planning situationally going into games though. Stuff like how to beat pressure, how to develop the offensive point of attack, and how to manipulate the D into giving you a specific look/opening. Yeah Bryant hurts but honestly it’s not one spot hurting us like you say. We are suffering in a bunch of spots because of a bunch of different decisions. you’re right in general that it takes time to throw down field. But you can run timing routes down field to put the D on their heels. Think 4x1 throwing an arcing fade on a short drop, that the wr runs under. You throw it to a spot and trust your wr to go get it. We could run that with lawler, or with lucky based on speed. That type of play can be bang bang and puts the ball 25-35 yards down field and has a chance to score. And it can be executed before a rush hits the qb. But it needs to not be done too much, and you need to back it up by hammering the seam by the S on the other side to prevent cheating and the S running it down. Though not many teams have burners at S any more. We really need to stretch the field in multiple directions. We aren’t doing well with the screen game (not talking check downs, I mean fast YAC screens) or with jet type motion, or outside/wide zone runs. You have to attack the seams of the D and force them to adjust then attack new seams. We don’t do that. Bob Wiley put it great, sacks aren’t just on the ol and teams get in the habit of giving them up in many different ways. You have to prevent sacks with more than the ol blocking.

The one game he was strictly a receiver Lucky played a huge role in winning the game, as a returner he doesn't seem to have the vision to break through the coverage, can't hit what you don't see.

You're always talking about Jake, everything is relative to Jake. 😄

So here's a question.... is Collaros an easy qb to coordinate for? He seems like a guy who is at his absolute best when he's able to improvise (an ability which had greatly diminished these days) and he has said how many times he hated the system in Sask when he was there... is it possible that he's a guy who just can't or won't execute a gameplan he doesn't like?

So seriously... is there such a thing a too much schadenfreude?

Atomic is Mrs Cleo confirmed

Did you leave at half time?

Clearly roughing the passer in the NFL, not clearly roughing the passer in the CFL as the initial contact was in the thigh. I'd love to see the CFL change to the NFL rules language this off season if not sooner.

I honestly think CGY is the worst team in the league, If I'm CM, I do nothing but run the ball and let the Defense win the game.

Special Forces.

def an acl from position of foot and angle of it...maybe mcl too....and likely cartiledge...I know Strev is a bull and strong as hell....but I'd be shocked if he isn't undr the knife over the bye week...so a minimum of 10 months rcovery...tho with SDtrev he could be one those gys who do it in 8.... But so what his "head" is above the knee....his target and force was all below....dirtball

That's not conclusive. You cant tell where Strevy's left knee is. - Rider fans probably.

Seems this year there are way fewer no yards penalties during punt returns. Could be my imagination, there are probably stats on the infraction, but just an observation.

Well he did spend a weekend in Winnipeg, that's sure to make anyone cranky.

I tried to keep an eye if he played again and later in the 4th I thought I saw him on the field again, he did not get many plays that is for sure.

They like to knock..complain and call down our trifecta of excellence and you know damn well if rhey could have all 3...they would be salivating all over themselves

Thank goodness we had a whole new thread for this.... Whew.

Wade is the guy who set the cement and the way that people in the organization...from staffers...volunteers...contracted people...coaches and more importantly players (and treat them as true professionals)...and they brought in Osh to carry it out..and make it work..and make it better....that gets lost in the big picture Wade came from when we got shat on..not treated with a lot of respect in many instances and were under appreciated...and he wanted that to be a 180 turn around...and he's done that from top to bottom

Argos are another trash org from the top down. So, it shouldn't be a surprise that Mace brought trash to the dump. MOS escaped.

I used the ramps once during the 1st season and have used the stairs ever since. The stairs are definitely a lot quicker and they let me know how out of shape I'm in.

HH to Wilson (our QB, not Ontaria) for coming in and getting a critical 3rd down.

Cory mace takes his mask off to reveal he's Craig Dickenson all along.
