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. 

You gotta have enough hope that the Bombers will do well enough to win next Sunday..... and also win the week after that.  For me, it's because if they don't my Saskatchewan season ticket holding relatives will be blowing up my phone for a month after with stupid flatbilly jokes about the Bombers.. ., an I hate when that happens.

You may need your meds adjusted. They apparently are not working very well.

Me thinks people are over reacting and blowing up the smallest things way out of line. 
The last two weeks it feels like this site is Riderfans.com  it's pretty lame. 

And people are going off on hall and the D? 

When a DE has two interceptions, one for a TD, the QB did not have a good game.

Those stats can't be right. Dont they know Nichols has played like ****. He couldnt possibly be 3rd in the league on deep TDs. Not possible. System is rigged.
Championships are won week 10 of the regular season. If they dont win this game. All is lost. Burn IGF to the ground!!!!......oh sorry just getting caught up in the hyperbole around here.

No excuses.   We are supposedly a contender.......      Just prove it.

Dressler has been removed from the 6-game list. I wonder if he plays this week or takes one more to make sure he's good to go for Labour Day. If he's back this week, at least all the Lankford angst can stop.

That's ridiculous. We all love to criticize the coaches at times (including me) because we are all passionate about our team, but we don't appreciate all the work and all the family pressures that such a schedule brings about. They don't get enough credit for all the hard work they put it.

We can second guess every decision a HC makes but at the end of the day he is just doing what he thinks gives them the best chance to win games, you can't fault a coach for that. And who are we to think that we know any different, we aren't around these guys on a daily basis like the coaches are. 

I do not think that you will hear anything of substance on OB tonight or any other coaches' show. It is 90% commercials with a few cliches and generalities sprinkled in.

Rider fans acting like douches, what a surprise. 
Sun shines on every dogs ass now and then.

Please don't patronize us with your comments as I know you're saying all this tongue in cheek & aren't being sincere. If you really wanted to talk football as you claim then you wouldn't have brought up that a week ago we Bomber fans were basking in the sunlight & how fast things change bullshit. You would have just come on here & talked about how well your team played without bringing the Bombers & us... the fans... into it.  Instead, you just want to rubs our collective nose in it. You say you've been here for a year posting. Well, only at the pleasure of the mods & admin. 

**** off. Please and thank you.

Lol this place after a loss is amazing 

Dipshit comment of the week goes to...
Enjoy bridge and mister 2 games and out collaros, douchenozzle.

YEAH HE IS...AND IS 4-1 as a starter this year even though he has played below his usual standards...point being???...I can say too..we are probably better off with Strevler behind center if Nichols gets hurt than anything you guys trot out there...especially based on the support all around )coaching/rb/O-line/receiver) and proof is in the pudding from whats transpired this year so far.
Heck...Streveler has produce more TD's this year in his 3 starts and spot play all by himself than your offense has in total all year...can't deny that can you?

Looking like the Riders might be bringing Rob Bagg back.

The Riders were a **** team for ages, like complete tire fire, but they had a small die hard fan base, then when thing started to improve for the team the national media started a great big circle jerk about how super duper awesome Rider fans were (and the fans at the time were). This led to everyone and their dog jumping on the bandwagon pretending to be a life long die hard Rider fan because it was a way to validate their shitty choice of living in Saskatchewan. Nothing more annoying than bandwagon jumpers pretending to be huge fans. I have respect for the actual die hard Rider fans, but the people who hopped on the bandwagon when it was cool have made the fans of that team absolutely insufferable. The fact that TSN is fully on board with the Rider circle jerk is even more nauseating. Go read the pre-season prognostications, tons of people completely writing off the Bombers despite their record over the past few seasons while expecting big things from the Riders who have been and continue to be a **** team over the same span. 
 
They are awful people and not even real CFL fans. Most of the posters on this site are not only Bomber fans but CFL fans in general, Rider fans are just trash that deserves to be treated as such. 

It is funny, isn't it? Personally, my feelings are a mix of "Man, what a nice, optimistic take on the team I love. I hope it's correct!" combined with a suspicion that's it's all just an attempted pre-Labour Day jinx. I hope it's the former. 

My optimism stems..... from stepping back a bit and just looking at the overall picture...... 
The club is run far more professionally,  Miller may not be a cuddly sort, but I see some big differences, in terms of communication, game experience, et al.....and he lets the GM, GM.
We have a GM who really understands the CFL, in terms of drafting and adding Canadian depth whenever possible, has also added legit quarterbacks, and beefed up the scouting department, incrementally.
We have a coach that most players really want to play for....who conducts himself in an evenhanded adult manner, and expects the same from players.   We are attracting the right kind of people, overall.
We have a dedicated all-Canadian management group - guys who eat, drink, and sleep CFL football, and want success in this league more than anything. 
Bottom line: 
For the first time in ions, we have real stability moving forward.  Winnipeg has now become a place, where players want to come.   A strong culture is being constructed here - doing the right things on and off the field - featuring a complete lack of.... or tolerance of...twitter fiends, clubhouse malcontents, me-me attitudes and undisciplined actions on the field. 
When you add the points 3rd and 1 made about coaching and player leadership......a pretty bright picture ahead.

Embarrassment of riches was a term tossed around there frequently..
I guess now it's just an embarrassment
