  1. Hey man, that's a low blow. No drunk person or individual on welfare deserves to be compared to the lowly 'Riders... show some class.
  2. Protip: Most stadiums let you bring in sleeping bags.
  3. Yeah, I could see that as being a little out of line. Still just ticked they're starting LeFevour over Davis... shouldn't even be joking about more injuries based on what has happened to our team the last few weeks.... so to your comment I say touché, good sir.
  4. This bodes well for the Blue & Gold.
  5. I don't think Lefevour could afford to pay for 46 tickets to the game on his salary...
  6. Maybe if we're lucky, lame-duck LeFevour will throw of his patented suicide passes to Lankford and Washington... then we can airlift in some better receivers?
  7. Even if we won a Grey Cup using backdoor, underhanded tactics as you suggest - it is still cheating and would tarnish that championship forever. I would much rather the drought continue and honestly win a Grey Cup, or try to do so than use those tactics. The "it is only cheating/illegal if you're caught" logic is a slippery slope at best, and led to much bigger problems in other much more real issues at worst. For a fantastic, terrifying example of what happens when an entire industry lies through their teeth, look no further than the housing market crash in 2008.
  8. I just meant starting LeFevour in Davis' place... but I understand your confusion.
  9. Seeing as how clock-and-dagger this regime has been with injuries... is it possible Davis was hurt in the B.C. game, prompting his untimely yank? Would also explain why they'd give him the week off...
  10. I think people are underestimating how badly this regime wants to host a home playoff game. If they feel LeFevour is their best option (besides Nichols)... right now, today...they'll go with him.
  11. Any update on Adams' injury?
  12. Only problem with that logic is you have to go through Ottawa - who have the opportunity to win the GC at home... that stadium will be raucous.
  13. The three possible (realistic) outcomes are: Bombers win, Edmonton wins -> WSF in Winnipeg VS Edmonton Bombers lose, Edmonton wins -> WSF in Edmonton VS Winnipeg Bombers loses, Edmonton loses-> WSF in Winnipeg VS SSK This is why I hate the crossover system - one of these three teams has to go play in Ottawa / Toronto, despite the fact that team will, at worst, have one more win than the first place team in the east. The other thing that is kind of a "pick your poison" scenario for the Blue & Gold is, omitting the possibility of a tie, Winnipeg is going to play a team coming off a 3-game winning streak.
  14. If we're going to be digging up zombies like Carr, I'd give Aaron Kelly a call before Carr. Younger and less removed from the game.
  15. I see your Greg Carr and raise you a Drew Willy.
  16. Our only touchdown was a blocked punt, kick coverage was stellar all night, and Fogg had some nice returns.
  17. Yeah, could the defense have played better yesterday? Absolutely... but there were times where they shone, they caused some turnovers that kept us in it and gifted LeFevour and Co. the ball at B.C's 15 yard line and they couldn't even get a first down...
  18. Honestly, the way we're playing we don't deserve to host the Western semi-final.
  19. Can we talk about complete abandonment of the running game before the opening kickoff? I know we were struggling, but if we were at least running the ball on 1st, we could've given the D a bit more of a breather...
  20. 2014 was their first year in the league and we split the season series with them. They were 2-16 that year.
  21. Another team in the East? Sounds like another two free wins for the Blue and Gold every year.... sounds good to me!
  22. I would love to respect him, but I faked an injury instead.
  23. I don't care if he's Ghandi, Einstein or Mike O'Shea. I hate anything 'Riders indiscriminately.
  24. Well then, I stand corrected.
  25. Any and every profession has its crooks and other undesirables.
