The Riders are not a good team, and won both games only because Nichols threw the games away- literally.
I have to disagree with you. Remember the Riders also beat Calgary - something we have not accomplish in a very long time. So get over it. The Riders have the best defense in the CFL (or at least 2nd best) and their offense does enough to win. So whether you agree whether or not they are a good team they are at the moment a better team then Winnipeg - and that is a fact!

Sports isn't about a good environment or players liking you or about protecting your players. It's about winning games, playoffs and championships.
O'Shea became our HC in 2014. He's below .500 in wins and hasn't even won a playoff game yet.
Rick Campbell and Chris Jones also became HC's in 2014. Both have won Grey Cups. Jones took an equally bad Riders team to the one the O'Shea inherited to the playoffs and won a playoff game in his 2nd year.
Jason Maas and Dave Dickenson became HC's in 2016. Both have winning records and have won playoff games.
Campbell, Jones, Maas and Dickenson's teams are all ahead of us in the standings this year.
Not making the playoffs, or not winning a playoff game should be a firing offence this year.
Truer words were never spoken. This summarizes it completely IMHO

What are the odds of us becoming hot at the right time?
Very Low IMHO. I can not calculate how low and I am a statistician by trade! 😣

Rod... I’ve never said that. Not even once have I said anything about not being respected. I have spoken on how some people actually find hate towards their competitive team when it’s only a game and entertainment.
Shucks, what I wrote above about a Welcome Matt is pillow fluff compared to what your fellow Bomber fans are saying about Matt Nichols over in the Matt-Nichols BOO!!!!!! page here in Morning Big Blue. For a Rider fan talking on here I don’t believe I am hated or dissrespected. I’m tolerated as much as a Rider fan could be on here. I have never taken a personal swipe at anybody. I take a lot of jabs and when someone doesn’t understand my comments like right here. I try to take my time to explain myself. In fact if you Click on my name and you will see that I have a very good score. Tracker has never had to tell me or even ask me politely to pull it back. In fact tracker found the humour in the comment that you seem to be offended by. I’m repeating myself but it’s just a light hearted joke. I am always clean on here. If Collaros would have played like Matt did in the 1st half. I would expect to hear 10 times no a million times worse comments about Zack than my insignificant humorous jab.
I do not dislike the Bombers in any way. I enjoy discussing football and the games in a respectful manner. I enjoy discussing football with level headed fans as passionate as I am.
Just an FYI. After every game in SK. It’s discussed who are the 3 stars on each side of the ball. Offence, Defence and Special teams. So the Bombers 3 stars are mentioned and I respect that. Then I suggested the Riders 3 stars. Nothing more than that.
In Hockey they only pick 3 stars total from both teams. Then again Hockey has less than 50% of the amount of players.
I hope we can be somewhat friends on here. I’m not out to attack or hurt anyone. You are more than welcome to ask me why a fan in my Province might think differently than the fans in Manitoba. I would answer that question with 100% honesty. Hope we can all lighten up and have fun.
I don't have any problems with Rider Fans posting over here as long as they are not just trolling - which most of them are not - just normal Rider Fans. I post over on the rider site and have never had any issues. We are all CFL fans just support different teams. And a lot of things are said in good clean fun. So no problems from my perspective with any Rider Fan posting here as long as it is in good clean fun and CFL related.

I think some people aren't reading the question. Should MOS be back NEXT year.
My response is NO! he should not be back next year - along with Richie Hall. Long enough with little results. Got to be someone out there that understands how to build a winner.

Outta here - just turned off the TV and heading out for a long walk. Nichols is a total loss and if MOSS wants to keep him in they can both go to heck

I never said you need to cheer him. Just don’t need to get on him too early in the game. If he plays a crappy game and it’s in the 2nd quarter. By all means. Fill your boots.
If he plays a crappy game and its in the second quarter then it is a quarter and 1/2 much too late. Time to either put up and show you can take this team to the next level or exit - stage left!

From your last two posts it would appear you have become quite an expert on this site twisting the knife while wanting to give the impression you are sympathetic to our cause. I for one do not appreciate your comments here. Your gloating under the guise of honest analysis wears thin. I stay our off your site so why don't you do the same. Yeah, I'm a little touchy right now and will read and accept critical comments from our posters but I kind of wish you would buzz off.
I have no problems with Ripper's posts to say the least - Me thinks you are being a little too sensitive. If you choose to say off Riderfans.com that is your decision. I post over there all the time and have never had any problems. Give it a rest - it is only a sports game and sports fans website. You should have been around in the old TotalCFL website days if you wanted to see some fur fly! 😁😁

we are going 5-2 closing out the season..and based on the teams we play to for it to happen..likely end up in second in west..bank on it!
I'll have whatever he is drinking. Going 5-2 to close out the season? Never going to happen! After reviewing the last seven I think a 2-5 or 3-4 (given that the next to last game is with Calgary in the Peg and they will probably not be playing many starters) we could see 3-4 over the last 7. Then we might make the cross over and be one and done in the playoffs.

Three horse race for second . CAL is tucked in nicely until West Final
Isn't it amazing how teams like Calgary and Edmonton can find talent up and down the line? How they can win games at the end with either BLM or in Edmonton's case Mike Reilly.Nether team is ever out of the game and always seem to have talent sitting on the bench to replace whoever goes down. Their scouting is first rate both teams! - And Then There Are The Bombers non of which apply.
-
Any ideas why teams like Edmonton and Calgary seem to always find big fast wide outs? Year and Year out they seem to bring in talent at the wide out. Always big and fast receivers. The Bombers on the other hand just seem to sit on their thumbs.

Who the fk called that play... if that's a Nichols check down - he really should sit for the season.
93 yards to go in one minute and you lob to the flats across the field... embarrassing.
If they lose the Banjo Bowl - Walters, Osh and everyone are finished...
I agree 100%. I actually morbidly want them to lose next week - only then can the Bombers at least understand they need to make changes. Doubt they will but we can hope!

Daaaamn man.. you are the the type of guy who enjoys pissing in someone's cornflakes.
You're the kinda guy who rains all over people's parades...
You're the guy who pops a child's balloon
You're the guy who reminds a diner where veal comes from.
Why do you even bother "cheering" for this team?
I still don't know if you are a troll.
You are like the source, just less obvious.
Anyways Debbie downer- I hope you can enjoy the game.
Please stop using double spacing! Waste for view space!
And I tend to agree with TB's thoughts. Difference between Cheering and Reality! Get use to it!

I see a fan base who thought this team was way better than it's turning out to be. We beat some bad teams and believed that we were the second best team in the league, some folks even thought that Calgary wasn't that big a deal anymore. Now that we've played a couple of +.500 teams and we've seen where we really stand, those fans are beginning to realize that we aren't as good as they thought we were. That's where the anger comes from.
If we lose today, and that's a real good possibility IMO, these sites will be full of anger, hate and sadness as well as calls for patience and hope. We've already gone from talking about hosting a playoff game to just making the playoffs and see what happens.
Pretty much bang on! Seems to me that we have been here before year over year pretty much since MOS and Richie Hall have been around. Great expectations - poor results.

Things are down right now but some folks are acting like their life is over.
I really do not see it that way - what I see is a Fan Base that is getting tired of a team that appears to be going no where fast. And the trend line both past and present tends to support that. I can only speak for myself living in Calgary - but I will tape the game (go to the mall during the actual time the game is being played) and watch it tonight.
Life certainly will go on regardless of the outcome. Especially with college football starting and NFL just around the corner.

the wrong time to trend down it at the end of the season, not midway through. Bombers came out relatively strong, slumping at the moment, but plenty of time to get it sorted out before the important games happen. honestly this is probably the optimal time to slump if you have to have a slump. fix what's not working and be strong going into the playoffs.
While I agree with your thoughts I have some problems with a few things - First of all IMHO the Bombers came out strong against very weak opponents. The second problem I have with your thoughts (which I appreciate BTW) is that you assume the Bomber management can identify the problems and take corrective action to remedy. I am not sure I can agree with that. I have not seen anything that would give me much faith that they understand what the problem is and have any idea how to fix the problem.
I hope I am wrong but given what we have seen over the past 5 years since MOS has been on board and especially with Richie Hall (who IMHO is the major issue with the defense) I have little faith that they can or are willing to take the necessary corrective action.

Got to Agree - Can not imagine a Bomber Broadcast without "Knuckles". I really miss hearing him (I live in Calgary now). Back in the 80's when I moved to the Peg from Dallas it was Knuckles and Cactus Jack! I use to run to the car after the game in order to get the post game on.

What is the worst restaurant in Regina, I got a supper bet to make before the game with the Regina relatives.
Not sure about the worse - but if you would a great steak and what I believe is one of the worlds best Caesar Salads go to "The Diplomat" (http://thediplomatsteakhouse.com/). I hit it every time I am in Regina which these days is not all that often.
Golf's on Victoria Ave is pretty good too.

Pessimists complain the wind is heading in the wrong direction. Optimists hope it will change - realists actually adjust the sails.
Truer words were never spoken! And IMHO the Bombers coaching staff and especially Richie Hall never ever "adjust the sails" - hence IMHO we will be lucky, extremely lucky to just get the cross over. And IMHO I would rather not make the playoffs and send Richie Hall packing if that is what it takes to make it happen.

Mike said in Jan 2018 that he was taking a more active role. So that apparently is not the answer.
luckily for him, nobody was paying attention when he said that.
used up my quota of snarky comments for today, so will just be reading now.
We got a quota now?? Hopefully it is a high number.

On the surface, this year's matchup reminds me of the first Labour Day Classic I attended, in 2004. The Bombers won and then won the inaugural "Banjo Bowl" the following week and, call me crazy, I think they can sweep this year too. I'm feeling pretty discouraged right now, like most Bomber fans, but I think if they can limit turnovers on offence they can score enough points to get by, even against an impressive Rider D. I have not been at all impressed by the Rider O this year and I think it's an opportunity for the Bomber D to bounce back. Yes, I'm an optimist. Can't help it. I just hope I'm right! If I hear some Rider fans chanting "We're number 4!" in the stands next week, as thay did at that first LDC I was at, I'll be extremely happy.
Well - I do like your enthusiasm! Not necessarily your logic but do like your enthusiasm. I just have to wonder if Richie Hall's defense will give up 500 or 600 yards to the Riders - Not sure what the over and under happens to be on this one. Also have to wonder if MN will just implode!

To beat a dead horse, if Miller has to tell Walters what to do about the coaching staff, then Walters is not qualified to do the job and should be fired.
I can see you point however there are times with the CEO does need to remind those below him about the overall goal etc. I think a gentle word would suffice however you may be correct and Walters is not qualified to do his job.
Matt Nichols -BOO!!!!!!!
