Your pretty sure, LOL, we that makes me feel better. For anyone interested, I've posted under same name at riderfans for since 2006. Also Migs  m.o. is to defend the rider management at all costs. For those of you that post over at Riderfans, you'll know I'm more the critic than the koolaid drinker.

Higgins would drive me nuts because I'm not as patient as he is, but the guy is good with young players. I think is a very under-rated coach. He doesn't panic under overwhelming pressure to do so. The guy won a grey cup with the Esks and broke out a pretty decent young qb, you might have heard of him, Ricky Ray. His players aren't afraid of knee jerk benching's for things like I don't know maybe a fumble. He has young Cato looking poised and confident in there, obviously that's not all on him the kid has talent. He has coached almost every position a guy can coach so he understands the game better than most. Also a head of officiating would have given him some real world insight into the inner workings of penalties etc.. Not jumping on your post or anything, just throwing a plug in there for Higgins, I think he is a very good coach IMHO.

Nobody in their right mind does. Makes zero sense. Not to mention if DD doesn't return, Glenn may lead us out the tunnel next year also. Some people are having a hard time dealing with being 0-4.  Myself I keep it a lot more simple, I just want Taman and Chamblin both fired at the bye-week if things don't improve by then. 0-7 or 1-6 and they go bye bye.

Putting our team rivalries aside for a minute. The Bomber fans have done a good job supporting the team through a drought that has lasted too long. You are right our season ticket numbers will go down if we continue to struggle but I contend that 22k or better is a number that will hold as we too have a solid fan base and we too know what suffering is. I've been there for years and have enjoyed the good times, but have seen more bad times I'm afraid. I think what's happening now to certain extent is the fans are not going to just watch things go down the crapper without saying something. Gone are the years where we are just happy to have a team. Yes some are panicking, but that happens everywhere. the crazy fans don't speak for the majority as it is in every cfl city.  

Heard he got bruised.

So far this week we are firing Taman and Chamblin, trading Kevin Glenn and Darian Durant and its only Tuesday. So ya we need a friggin win to settle the troops down before we do something we will really regret.  Seriously though, that's just how it goes in Riderville when we are losing. We have had a great run over the last ten years, its time to re-tool, re-build, and re-focus I guess.

Odell Willis is a moron, on the field. Always has been, and it's why he was sent packing from here in the first place. Above all else, I want smart athletes...

Then he'll run off the field and sulk about it while the game continues.

What case did he have exactly? Explain please.  He signed a contract, played dumb later. The cfl arbitrator upheld that the contract was valid. A non football court later ruled otherwise. The Tiger cats would have won the appeal IMO. The cats were likely so sick of Williams at that point they didn't want him back anyway. If Williams as you say was sure he would win he wouldn't have signed a agreement to return to the Cats.  It was a joke to the league that whole situation, likely why the Chris Williams clause is in new cba that teams have to offer the 1 plus 1 to prevent other players from pulling the same sh&t again. 

I imagine Early will be kicking the long ones. Not sure at McCallum's age he can see where the uprights are from 50 yards.

As a long time fan myself I don't appreciate the idiots either. I remember the 70's and mostly early 80's, getting hammered 50-0 by the esks, as a kid just hoping we could get a td so I could cheer for one of my hero's. Those were dark days for my Riders.  I'm enjoying that we are better now. I don't laugh and make fun of the struggles the Bombers have suffered. To the serious fan that hurts bad and sucks. Its painful and disheartening to watch ones team struggle with no apparent end in sight. I'm happy to see the Bombers turning it around and would love to see u guys in the cup this year at home. Obviously I hope its not at our expense however. But there are some young fans in Manitoba who weren't around to see how good the Bombers have been in the past. I think you guys have suffered enough and think the fog is lifting and there are brighter days ahead. I still hope we beat u every time we play you.

One other thing I want to say. To those of you calling the Rider fans classless, maybe read some of your own posts revelling in a potential career ending injury to another teams QB before you talk about class. It didn't break my heart when Reilly got hurt the other day, but I sure as hell haven't said much about it because his career could be over and that really sucks because he is good qb and is good for the league. As far as the Riders go, don't feel sorry for us, we'll be fine. I wouldn't be heart broken if the same thing happened to Willy, but I sure as hell wouldn't be enjoying it to the point that I would be chirping fans at the stadium about it. A few Bomber fans were within a inch of their lives at Mosiac on Saturday. Every fan base has some less than classy fans, as do we, but take off the blue goggles for a minute and see you are no different. I've for the most part always had good experiences with the bomber fans at your stadium and ours. Don't let the mouthy few wreck it for the majority.

Doesn't even make sense that the Riders would be in the hunt for Curran. I don't see Edmonton being in it either. That leaves Ottawa and Winnipeg. Curran is a guy you would love to get. He is a keeper

There isn't a worse contract in the league than the 120K they plated Shomari Williams last season.
