Anyone who uses the term "ham and egger" should be banished to Rider Fans.

In summary, Riders suck.

Unrelated to the game but I can't help but laugh at how big of babies Riders management is. "Labour Day Rematch" The refusal to call it the Banjo Bowl will never not be funny to me.

Cashless. Are you foodie people? There's lots of great restaurants in Winnipeg. Winnipeg punches way above it's weight class in terms of restaurants.

The point is, there were plenty of people said "hey Lawler is good just not getting lots of opportunities", where as there were others insisting that receivers weren't all that good. Opportunities are the key and we don't give guys opportunities unless an incumbent gets hurt or completely shits their pants.

You almost gave me a heart attack man. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw White Lightning was released by the Blue Bombers.

same with game J Jones was in and got a ton of work on defence...was one our best defensive games...Coincided as well with the Griffin bumping Kramdi out off SAM....J.Jones presence made T.Jones game improve too....and he has been more lost in space and over pursuing things again since J.Jones was taken out, and our defence hasnt been as good since....coincidence....?? Osh is not good at talent evaluation and use of talent to full effectiveness....pretty apparent

Greetings all, the LDC was another epic event and had an incredible time with many Bombers fans here in Regina. It was such a great time that we have decided to get tickets to the Banjo Bowl and are very excited about attending this event with the other best fanbase in the CFL. We have tickets in Section 143 and we are staying at the Alt Hotel downtown. Any suggestions or recommendations would be very much appreciated of good places to party or visit. We are arriving late Friday afternoon and staying until Sunday. Thanks in advance for all your suggestions and responses, we can't wait.

Because the rider suck. They are ******* clownshoes.

Last weekend... Either the CJOB pre game or the Handled Internally podcast (can't remember which) said Wade has taken to calling it that. And he should... The Labour Day game has become a joke where they can barely sell enough tickets.... And our game is the standard bearer for live CFL football. Yes our team is not great this year, but when it comes to watching a CFL game live, there's Winnipeg and there's everyone else a long way back. Tl/Dr: Banjo Bowl Preview Game and Banjo Bowl. Full stop.

I highly doubt either are...tho I doubt we roster an import

now I'm curious what bad will would look like. Airstrikes?

Man I wouldn't be bragging about that last game... wasn't well played at all.

Thanks dude. This is what comes of listening to too much Suitor. Thing I noticed in the LDC was that Zach was frequently breaking contain and rolling out into free space after the play action, so it looked like successful RPO to me -- the plays were getting Zach out of the danger zone behind Kolo and into free space where he can do his Zach thing.

You can find tailgating all over the place near the stadium. If you are taking rapid transit to the game, you may want to head over to the parking lots near University & Dysart. The official team area is just east side of the building (corner of Chancellor Matheson & University). Here's a rough map with some locations where you can find tailgating.

PREEEECISELY.

Yes but why?

You dug into a tweet from three years ago?

thats how you develop guy tho...allow to grow and learn. How do you think Holm fot play? Injury replacement...and whiffed and effed up a lot at first too...but people tugged on his nutsac cause of an Osh quote he had quick feet Holm was jumping off the page...if anything actually looked way out of his league.......Guy was actually cut at one point...and brought back...kinda disputes you constant opinion that guys cut were cut because they not good....doesnt it...who know how many others got let go over coach's fav that could have developed like Holm did? Was allowed to play and grow Bridges was awful from get go....took way too long to swap him oit...same can be said with Bonds...tho not sure what happened there, and wasnt as bad as Bridges....scheme...personelle...who knows...buy highly likely if not hurt he'd still be playing coaching is losing us games...or lack of good coaching...and roster issues and who gets reps... which go along with coaching...they all part of issue

Im sorry if I was a drunken ass hat about 20 years ago

And Malik Boynton, who made that post, had a brief stay with us in 2019.

If his name sounds familiar it is because both his brothers - Ranthony and Raleigh have tried out for the Bombers.

Adams was in lineup with Kramdi all yr....and was also in lineup when Griffin took over SAM...He has no bearing on either one of them every backup I have pined for...Griffin...Allen...Woodbey...Person....J.Jones...has out performed every person they replaced, and gave more value...so yeah....maybe you should love them

Pearson sat the first 3 games, then got in and looked good. Allen sat for what 8 games and then gets in a looks good. Woodby 10 games and then the same thing. That's three young guys who sat to start the year and when they got in contributed and played well enough to make you say, "Why was he sitting out?" That's on MOS. Letting talent walk, thats on KW. Its not one or the other, it is both.

I always thought the Bombers should send up a drone on Banjo Bowl to capture all the activity around the stadium. As you mentioned, most people dont see all the tailgating that takes place as they are so spread out around campus.

Our interior dline was very good in the labor day game, including Jake. Lawson is getting back to the form that we hoped he would prior to his injury. Opposing offenses have not been able to run up the middle, Riders runs that did anything were around the edge mostly with Vaughtner losing contain. I didn't think we'd be effective at all with the three Non imports but I was wrong. The mistake we made though was still not having Adams or Woods rostered, in that 6 dline isn't enough and when Smeckle got hurt we were really against it.

Can't see how anyone could think he earned anything...longevity shouldn't earn you a spot...especially when last 3 yrs was a gift by his HC Scmeckle actually showed more in his 3 games this yr than Jake in last 2...should have right there knocked him off roster and we rolled with him and Lawson The plan of running with 3...one of whom did diddly poo out there does nothing for us other than take away from the 2 who did make some impact Further to that 2 at same time took away from an import...be it woods...Adams or Person...and wasn't needed and is usually when we get gouged

Apparently its fun...I like it tho...entertains me to now end...especially some the things I know as a fact that people dispute...keep er coming gang 😉 Yes..this But also if they weren't whiney lil biatch's about having it go to each city every other yr then it would never have happened...not our fault it only game that truly sells out...the BB isnt only one we sell out...how many in a row now 🤔 ?

Lol....quite likely

How is it any different than your request to have the Labour Day thread title changed to “Banjo Bowl Preview Game” Sadly I’m not sure you can demand one be respected and not the other.

tbh, if i’m them I would pack it in already. they aren’t gonna contend this year or come close. get dru 100% for next year, and focus on adding to that line so he can be healthier next year. Dru really needs to be healthy next year. another year like this one and he’s gonna end up too broken to be a qb1

yup

with what...about 600 yards?...lol...didnt we have a real lack of stats for anyone? other than Harris

No your argument that guys who are cut and don't immediately go on and do huge things for a new team aren't worth fussing over. Here's an example: Kenny Lawler. He was cut from BC, let's say the Bombers were set at receiver and didn't pick him up... would that have made him one of these guys not to get fussed over? When he was first here he was just a ham and egger too. Wasn't until lapo left and collaros became starter that Lawler emerged. Opportunity and time are what players need to grown into impact players.

thing is...he didnt look particularily good...And Parker had won the spot but got hurt....so he was able to grow into it We need to do more of that was the point, and is in reference to my other point if we dont have an injury, or a guy chooses to leave...we will not allow a better player to push out an older one....and that why our depth sucks ass....and in some instances we have none How much deeper or better would we be if some the guys who are taking starter type reps were actually the backup or injury replacement for a better guy...and doesnt necessarily have to be a younger guy save for guys over 30....just better Tell me an instance where we saw on the news wire we dumped a guy for a younger better guy, and where we as fans...even media were like "wow"...didnt see that coming Thats exactly how we got T.Jones...was ashock release, for a younger guy, who went on to win R.O.Y...He was also let go in T.O for a younger better player....thats how Edm got him

Welcome to Winnipeg @JGD . I definitely recommend you guys check out the tailgate on game day. Definitely use the transit system to get to and from the stadium. There are bunch of park and ride locations you can leverage. Parking is a bit of nightmare around the stadium, If you're looking for some good food options I definitely recommend Brazen Hall on Pembina Hwy or One Great City Brewing Co on Ness Ave. Not on game day though Enjoy the game and GO BOMBERS!

Never ever said I was unhappy with Wilson as he is one of the vets if healthy that we dont need to move on from....so dont put words in my mouth,,,if anything I have said Kyrie if healthy is a top WIL in league and has shown as such.....,especially last 3 games T.Jones is ok....has holes and would flourish more situationally...Is poor in his drops and isnt really capable of coverage...He was great when paired with J.Jones and was able to mirror how he dropped tho...and we need to have both on roster to be our best And if a player is better....he shouldn't have to wait and bide time....delaying these guy coming in...what did it accomplish ir do?....zero We are losing games due to poor coaching and roster use....guys not coached uo or schemed properly let alone at times seem prepared...Thats where we are lacking....and the roster seeming weak is also hand in hand with not playing rhe right guys we have....and not continually looking for guys to upgrade our PR and or roster who said anything about Osh scouting?

Yeah, and then he was brought back for 2020 then Covid happened.

didnt have the burst or explosion...so no need to keep around....At least we did something right in that regard Echols is a guy who could offer us more anyway and is a receiver type we kinda lack...Hope to see him saturday

This choice of phrasing...

That's Teasers...I used to bounce there...I can hook you up! 😁

when yu never keep a new guy over an older one who has in been in decline for yrs...you will never know And dont use argument that nobody else picked up a TC cut, as they invested time and money in their own players and cuts...thats a good way to lose scouting staff...Cyril Penn being a good example... Over the last bunch of TC's we have had guys out perform vets of varying tenure...an vets who didnt even participate in camp only to let em go and use the guys we keep clinging too Even this yr...we actually kept a few....but they never got on roster, but were clearly better and showed upside...many "non-football" background people on the site could even see it....and when they did get on...low and behld they were better And sitting on the PR for 4 to 6 games didnt develop them and all of a sudden make them better, if anything...slowed their progress We see this here every yr, and if not for injury giys dont lose a job here if theybeen with osh more than 2 yr

Your argument is bad and you should feel bad.

We don't need Thomas for ratio Yeah Walter's and osh full of **** trying to justify their plan And your right...zero faith...and even if he wanted to...doubt he even knows how or where to start with Can't rid ourselves of this set up soon enough...12 yrs...long time and they've ran their course

No reason whatsoever that Pokey isnt in lineup...none Typical move...cut a guy who is obviously no good...just to bring him back again instead of using someone else you kept...or actually bringing in someone new and better...so typical of this regime One of or both of Woods or Adams should refuse PR spot...they'd be playing next week elsewhere...and funny part bumping off someone off a better roster Probably...trade up to get a particular guy...rave about him and park him on PR all yr to play an inferior global who does zip for your roster Oyelola tho is a good add Hallett...Kramdi...2 guys really who shouldn't be rushed back for any reason Schoen wont be playing fir a while...if at all....well ....shouldn't be

But it's the gm not the coach!!111!!!

I'd keep Lawson but would get rid of the others you mentioned. Getting rid of Thomas is an issue now due to ratio, so that's a different question or thought. Before last week I would have kept J. Jones before Ayers. Now Woodbey is added into the mix. He looked good in his 1st game. In case you missed it we re-signed global LB Oyelola after a few years in the NFL. Does he immediately replace Weitz who I wondered why we kept in the 1s place.

He'll help for sure. I would not miss Osh if he left. He needs great players to win like any coach but his roster structure decisions means he needs more great players than a coach like Maas, Mace or Dinwiddie.
