I dunno...seen many empty seats there too last year...and in Winnipeg probably most those seats were vacated by the thousands at the rum hut
Well no generation of bomber fan abandoned  there team..so guys we are better fans...no?

I don't post much (career lurker/post liker), but I must say, I LOVE the Regina hate.
Ashamed to admit I live in Regina... which means I suffer through the constant garbage taunts from rider fans who can't name 3 players currently on the team. Even the better media here are unabashedly ignorant and full on deluded homers and managing to find decent CFL talk anywhere is next to impossible.
I could go on for a few pages about everything that's wrong with rider fans and the province but I won't for brevity's sake. 
Please carry on with the excellent rider fan crushing. Go Blue.

4 Grey Cups in a century and Rider fans act like they're the messiah of pro football.. 

Wasn't Westerman first in league last year in hurries...which results in an interception a lot of the time...which we dominated in?  Oh yeah thats right..so washed up
 
I'd take a pic any day over a sac.....fool

That's old for a DE, she says. Westerman is younger than Charleston Hughes and John Chick, who were 1-2 in the league in sacks last year.
Pretty clear by now that you don't understand football. Buzz off.

Nichols has started 32 games in his career...is 12 wins and 8 losses with winnipeg from 2015 to 2016
..Was 5 wins and 2 losses with edm in 2015
so for the math challenged Sask people that is 17 wins and 10 losses since 2015 for 27 games...I think he was 3-2 in his other 5 so that is 20 wins..12 losses.....so where does the lost a hell of a lot more come from?...credibility blown buddy...
 
 

Go ahead and copy/paste it. You think my opinion will change if we lose Saturday? If we lose Saturday, we'll have lost to a terrible football team and we'll need to improve on it going forward.
PS - his record as a starter is 18-15, I know math isn't a strong suit over there but 15 is not "one hell of a lot more" than 18. It's actually less.

32 years old. Canadian.. And 24 sacks in the past two seasons. That's a weird example. 

Especially when he still had as many sacks as their starting DEs Leonard and Jefferson combined.
And the comment about Nichols having lost more games than he's won is just plain false.

No, you look at the stats. That's all you have. 
That, and that statue of a Free Agent trying to leave the Rider's grasp..
 

against Kevin Glenn. Congrats.

very good compared to what?

It's Kevin Glenn in game one for Winnipeg, I mean come on, he is going to complete a lot of short **** against us, but he's also going to soft serve up some passes that will get picked off, it's just what he does at this stage in his career. So I expect the Bombers to give up lots of yards but to take the ball away and not give up as many points as the stats might lead one to believe. 

I am betting on a hissy fit from Carter and a crazy player move by Jones. 

Dang it I forgot about that!! 
Crappy defences rarely force turn-overs...especially crappy ones with the top returning ball hawks who are going to benefit from increased pressure on the quarterback all coming back....guess we are screwed

Didn't you know that was only because of all of the turnovers that we aren't going to be able to get again this year?

Can somebody please tell me why our secondary is considered "weak"? 
 
Randle has proven his worth over the years and despite injuries his level of play has not decreased. Heath is regarded as one of the best in the game. Loffler may just be the best safety in the league. Johnson although some have picked on makes the roster and starts year after year. Fogg had some good games last year and should only improve. 
 
The riders are starting Jovon Johnston... 
Seems like we have some decent depth too... and with increased pressure from the line we should be okay...
 
knock on wood

Agreed...I would say we have the best O-line and thats not being a homer.
 
They seriously believe over there that they have a solid deep O-line and a crazy good D-line...how they see that I just don't know

One of them called Bond mediocre this morning.
 

Reading on Riderfans how some posters actually believe that they have a better O-line than the Bombers, which they consider weak-mediocre.  Totally myopic fan base, so engrossed with their own team and "Hillbilly Jones Medicine Show" that they know virtually nothing about any other team in the league.  Just makes it all the easier to hate them and pile on.

Did you wake up before the end of the first half or something?

ya, exactly.  I think this quote is more so in reference to all the people who keep saying "its not going to happen, they can't duplicate their turnover success.. " as opposed to saying that is what their primary focus is. 
 
obviously the primary focus is to force 2 and outs, stop the run and minimize any completed passes.. pressure will cause the mistakes that lead to turnovers. 

I'm lost. Why does everyone think us being optimistic about this week is being optimistic about improvements? 
We were 11-7 last year. Our opponent was a dumpster fire.
 

@SPuDS
Give me my like now, please.

If you saw the game yesterday, between the Ticats and the Argos, you saw what Zach Collaros is really like when you don't have 
a) decent blocking and b.) a proper OC, you know, like the Bombers were like not too long ago. So, ask yourselves, would he really have been better here, with the lineup we were putting out in the past?
