First, his team put on a display of how to commit the most boneheaded penalties in a big game. Second, Brandon Bridge threw a bunch of Michael Bishop balls into DBs hands that would've been picked had those DBs been named Randle and Alexander. And third he wore a court jester outfit out there on the sideline ... And his team got their asses beat at home by the esks
I want to see the court jester outfit- cuz he is always trying to be a poor man's Johnny Cash...
Anyone have a pic?

Do we have a receiver that can stretch the Field? Is Givens in at receiver?

The reason it is still going is because Chris Jones made an embarrassment of himself on national TV and has destroyed the silly notion that he's an ass who knows how to win. Nope he's just a loser ass plain n simple.
How did he do that this week? I didn't watch the game.

**** Jones.
That is all that really needs to be said. I dont understand the need to keep this thread going... it should have gone:
OP: " Blah blah blah Jones is awesome, carter is too... blah blah blah riders are my fav team....blah blah"
Next post: "**** jones."

Playing the Riders is a big Risk/Reward thing to me. Beating them is the greatest feeling ever, but should we lose.... We never hear the end of it. And I don't wanna have to deal with that......
Especially going into the off season... that would make it a long and insufferable offseason.

Remind me again about SMS? The team who just extended Labatte for four years, no doubt with a bonus from this year's cap, is over the cap?
How about the team who has an all-star NI running back, a 200 k kicker and had their starting NI tackle get injured yet he had no recollection of how it happened?
The blue Kool-aid is strong.
Not as strong as the Green Flakka. Once a cheater...
QuoteTORONTO — The Canadian Football League (CFL) has released the following statement:
The CFL today levied a $60,000 fine against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, as well as a deduction in excess of $26,000 off the Roughriders’ 2016 salary cap.
This decision was made after Commissioner Jeffrey L. Orridge and the CFL completed a thorough investigation, spanning several weeks, of the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ alleged roster violations. The investigation included CFL officials visiting team practices in Regina.
After a review of the findings, it has been determined that the Saskatchewan Roughriders were in violation of policies which prohibit practicing with ineligible players, players participating in practice who are on the 6-Game Injured List and having free agents practice with players who are under contract.
Each of these actions constitute a violation of CFL bylaws.
“As Commissioner, I am compelled to make decisions consistent with protecting the competitive balance within our League, the spirit of our rules and the integrity of our game. The recent conduct, behaviour and activities of the Saskatchewan Roughriders have compromised the reputation of the CFL.”
– CFL Commissioner, Jeffrey L. Orridge.
The current Riders' "brain"-trust are cheaters. Jones reminds me of a more morally challenged Mike Kelly. SUre- there is some success, but really at what cost?

Time loop. Direct steal from TNG.
6 hours ago, The Unknown Poster said:Can you steal from yourself? Steal implies a negative. Clearly a homage. Fun episode too!
Agreed- really fun episode. I am really digging this Star Trek.
I thought the looping reminded me more of Dr. Strange. Regardless- I really enjoyed the episode.

I could also just watch some old games with Justin Goltz as QB as the Fever is a carbon copy. Can't throw, makes bad decisions, but he sure can run!
If LeFevour does the Goltz tie adjusting TD celebration when we are down 28-7 I will put my remote through the TV.
Samsung UN65MU8000... you have been warned.

Do or Die loading up with a large case of Gin at this point.... I'm going to break out my xmas bottle of Crown Royal watching this one...Come to think of it, a lot of fans might need to be anesthetized after watching the Fever do his thing in Cal...Dan will have to pull a rabbit...
Think I might break out this badboy:

I think starting Lefevour is a smart move- the last thing we want to do is throw Davis to the wolves. That Calgary D is relentless and could easily break a new QB.

Did you watch the whole game?? how it was even that close was the insane part.... it had no business being that close.
But it was close, and that is a good thing- the other parts of the team picked up the slack. Unless- you favour the rout theory.

Dickenson has already come out and said he's not going to rest BLM. He's concerned BLM is in some kind of rut and he wants him to work himself out of it before the playoffs. He probably wont play the entire game but he will play.
The best cure for a QB (rec. RB. TE. OL. OC.) Rut is a Richie Hall defense.

Interesting little tidbit. Since the Bombers last playoff win in 2011, every other team in the CFL has won at least one playoff game since then.
Good- it goes lock step with the fact every team has won a grey cup since the bombers did.

He did bring over the veteran coaching staff some of who had less experience than Bellefool and Etch who have been around for years. By the way, O'shea is the one who chose to bring those two in just as he chose to bring in Hall. Jones also had 0 experience as a GM and has managed to restock the cupboards in 2 off-seasons. As for playing fast and loose with the rules, I would suggest all teams bend the rules. It is only to what degree that each team does that is the question.
Bringing in Trestman and Popp does not cancel out the shitshow that was the Argos off-season. They barely had time to prepare being brought in as late as they were. Wasn't Popp regarded as a failure around here not too long ago because of the lack of talent he brought to Montreal in recent years? And now, he provides Toronto with a distinct advantage? OK...
The bombers did decide to groom a GM and HC indeed. The reasons behind it are a subject to debate, in particular with Walters who has hired on a permanent basis after the "extensive search" in the 2013 off-season. So far, it has yet to pay off after nearly 4 years and suspect depth at many positions. We will see what happens in the playoffs, but if the Bombers are one and done, I suspect both Walters and O'Shea will have to make the Divisional Finals in 2018 at a bare minimum (whether that be by finishing first or winning in the division semi-final) to keep their jobs.
I absolutely agree with you - totally different situations.

Care to elaborate? Jones came into a situation just as bad if not worse than Walter/O'Shea. Aging team with no Canadian depth.
Trestman and Popp came on very late in the off-season in Toronto. Remember how long it took ownership to fire Jim Barker. The new manager and coach barely had any time to prepare for the draft and recruitment. All the other teams had a head start.
Jones has experience as a defensive coordinator and head coach. Jones transplanted a championship coaching staff fresh off a grey cup win to asskachewan. He played fast and loose with the rooster rules and brought in questionable characters.
Trestman, nfl experience as OC, headcoach experience, has a hall of fame qb that is still playing at a high level. Has popp who is awesome at bringinh in talent.
The Bombers went the route of grooming a HC and GM. Osh had bellefueille and etch.

GM/Coaches like Chris Jones and Trestman and Popp are proving it doesn't take 3 years to rebuild a team into playoff or even Grey Cup contender. Jones accomplished this feat in 1.5 years while Trestman and Popp appear to have accomplished this in a half year in Toronto.

Totally different situations. Damn, why doesn't anyone understand this?
