Bomberfan85

It’s the life of a sports fan. Especially for those who didn’t witness the good years. 
But how about those who are old enough to remember our first 20+ years without winning? Before the internet and fan forums. Between the 60’s and 80’s. Before the SMS where a team like the Eskimos could “buy” players. We had good teams but nowhere near the money that the Eskimos had. 
24 Grey Cup appearances.. 10 wins
And now? We own the Frustration Cup. 27 years.
Do I get weary and down? Oh yes. Does my enthusiasm always come back? 
Yep. I’m a Bomber fan.
 

No, it's that both numbers are ridiculous. Not surprising coming from Rod Black but still ridiculous. I've noticed the difference between watching the two leagues too. You watch an NFL game and they actually talk about what is going on in the game. Seems so simple. You watch a CFL game, particularly one called by Rod Black, and you hear a commentator who fixates on one or two players and just won't budge. It's really frustrating, especially when they just talk about whatever while the play is going on.

That’s not the point.
It’s the fact that these 2 QBs were mentioned that many times in 1 game. Surely, you can bring up facts and data about other players who were involved in the game. To continually rely on the fallback of mentioning these guys is lazy, and annoying to listeners.

WHO CARES....if taxes pay for it so be it as in the end nobody will notice it on their own personal bottom line...you were gonna pay tax anyway toward..whatever so big deal
This is a big win win for the Bombers and the University...Based on the average revenue from the Stadium and Bombers since it opened they have been in the black like what...anywhere from 7 to 10 million a year (more if hosting a Grey Cup)?
On going now this will allow for a percentage to be put away each year for maintenance and upgrades etc...and a nice portion of profit each year in the Bombers pockets...which in the longterm will venerable the team to continually attract higher end free agents and players....sure it has no effect on the SMS as all teams play under the same figure.....but adding amenities..facility perks...treatment options..player perks..etc...it goes a long way in a SMS based league..especially short career one such as in football at the lesser wage earned in Canada

And we've seen yours. My advice is don't be so arrogant putting down Nichols because Collaros will crush your heart. He isn't playing well at all.  Your wins are coming by smoke & mirrors & that won't go on. 

Not sure about a championship team, but they have: Egos, assholes, dirty players, showboats, cheaters, players of low character, criminals and douchebags- that right there is certainly a rider team.

GTFOH with that Canada's team bull***t.  Riderfans.com is that way ---> 🚪

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! 

Which games are our 3 then Green Sage...and how is your schedule easier...you were lucky to walk away with win vs us..and play us 2 more times in Winnipeg...Ottawa handed your butts to you, and yeah you beat CGY once...but they also beat you, and you have to go there again...highly doubt the same result occurs with a win for you
Edm has beaten you...so..they may just again...and christ you lost to MTL...so maybe they have your number and they are much improved since they beat you....so records against opponents past and future are nice to gauge and form a opinion...but each team matches up differently and any one can beat anyone..heck we throttled Mtl and Toronto yet you lost to them...and we lost to you...what does that say?...nothing really and save for a piss poor officiating call on a pick six should have lost to T.O as well...so to say one teams schedule is tougher than anothers is a opinion only..just like mine is...an opinion 
What is your win total over next 8 games and which ones are wins?

Ah finally. The annual "FIRE EVERYONE" Thread- thank you for not disappointing.

We lost cuz our QB threw high and behind into double coverage. We lost because they ran a punt back for a TD. We lost because they mostly blocked a FG. All that in the first half when we dominated the game, the yards and the TOP, while holding them to about 100 yards of offense.
We lost because we went 2 and out a couple of times in a row when we needed a drive. We lost because we covered the 3 yards they needed, but ignored the deep ball. We lost because our QB threw an 8 yard out badly resulting in another pick, when we needed to go down the field. We lost cuz of a busted coverage that resulted in a TD.

2015 was Brian Brohm at QB. Nichols had been acquired but his first start was in the Banjo Bowl that year. 

**** THE RIDERS

Lol So this is what someone gets for posting an optimistic thought. Take it somewhere else. They're probably not feeling arrogant enough yet over at Riderfans. Maybe they'll welcome you with open arms. 

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.

Obligatory toilet bowl reference. Sorry, too lazy to get a photo... use your imagination.

I stepped back from the edge so far that I fell into a crater....WTF...if you're a true Bomber supporter you pick yourself up and get back in the race...(cue the song ..That's Life)..We'll come up with something for the hillbillies and shock them out of their shorts...(eeeeeew now I have to wash that out of mind, as that's a very nasty picture, and would keep me awake at night)...Hopefully we have some answers on Labour Day

It's absolutely turrible on here...   I dare say this site has more band wagon jumpers then they do...

Holy smokes Guys, take a step back from the edge.
 

 
 
There are issues with this team and I totally understand people's frustrations, but let's not go full riderfans....
 
 

Historically it seems the Rough Riders have taken this game more seriously than the Bombers. I want this game and our fans want this game desperately.
Just win ffs
