we have seen that Mike O'Shea trusts his coordinators to do his job. It's not that he has no input, it's that once he hires someone he trusts them to get the results he wants. I just have listened to how O'Shea talks about more aggressive defenses and you can tell he has an admiration for them. 

a reliable deep threat receiver would be killer. someone who can go up and get the ball consistently and then we do need more pressure up front on D. 
I do wonder if Ritchie Hall is the man to build the kind of defense we need though. I just don't think a bend but don't break D is the answer in the CFL anymore. I would much rather have the swaggerville type D where the mantra is "we won't bend and we're going to break you"

Are you surprised by those comments. Every loss it's always Fire MOS.  People wonder why people stay away from here at times.... people repeating MOS needs to go after every loss? How many times can people say it before people just say screw it... I'm done here. 

I can't wait till the Stamps crap the bed at home in November against us in the Western Final.

What time someone arrives at or how devoted someone is to work doesn't excuse disrespectful or cocky behaviour.  

I wish we would've won that game just to rub in the face of the arrogant prick: Bo Levi Mitchell.

The team has been making great adjustments after the halftime break all season. Too bad they can't come out like that in the first quarter

Egads the highs and lows in this game.  I'm just stunned.  This game was a microcosm of our season thus far.  Amazing second half that gave us a chance, but if the Bombers play anything resembling decent or even average football in the first half, then we win.
Time to go on another win streak...

I could listen coach Wylie talk Oline all day

In the first half, it appeared that on several of LeFevorer's big plays, the argos OL was holding onto Bomber defenders like drowning men on a life raft.

Not sure why anyone is against the idea of keeping them around. We know they both took over a crappy roster that couldn't be expected to win a lot of games. The whole reason we hired a guy like MOS as a first time coach was to get our hooks into him because of his long term potential, not because he was already a great head coach. Why would you not extend him when he's a much better coach now than when he was hired, which was basically the plan.
Start of the year I think a lot of people were hoping for an 8-10 win season, and expecting less from years of disappointment. We're sitting 8-4, and the schedule gets tough from here on out. But I think Walters has exceeded expectations for a rookie GM (especially a younger one who hasn't had decades of experience as an AGM or similiar), and MOS is becoming the coach we thought he could when we hired him, so why suffer through the growing pains to let someone else get that benefit.
Sign them up, let them do what they've been doing. It's harder than anyone is mentioning to stick to the long term plan when everyone wants immediate results. The team is finally starting to see results from the plan these guys put in play and have stuck to. Unless we'd rather bring back Mike Kelly and Brendan Taman to run the team......

Based on what we read after the team was 1-4, we learned that the team was playing for MOS job. They love the guy, and knew he was in thin ice, and knew it was their fault. 
What he's created among those players means a lot to me as a fan. It's no secret I want The Trinity locked up asap. 

I honestly don't understand how you couldn't see anything from O'Shea. He's not so quietly become one of the best head coaches in the CFL and that's no stretch.
He has his moments, but what coach doesn't? He's worlds different as a coach than he was two or three years ago. His players love playing for him. His team is among the most disciplined in the CFL. He uses challenges more effectively than almost any coach in the CFL. His understanding of how to play in specific situations has improved leaps and bounds. His roster management, which was my biggest knock on him in years past, has undergone a complete 180.
Dickenson is probably coach of the year but there's 0 chance O'Shea isn't a finalist.

I heard about this and I hope the culprit is found and is banned permanently from ever attending another game. I don't care if it is a 9 year old kid or a middle aged fan from Saskatchewan nobody deserves to be treated like that. It s disgraceful an I am ashamed it happened in our park.

Very entertaining interview.  
"What were you thinking when they faked the field goal?"  
"Let's go.  Let's go."
Love that.  If he gets to start at linebacker I'm completely comfortable with him there.

My favourite response to this was the WBB official account replying with "lol".... So good. 

I actually feel a little skeezy bringing this up because I believe charity looks best when it's anonymous.
However, when I hear about "Canada's Team" and the "Best Fans in the League"....and then I notice where they sit next to others regarding the Purolater tackle hunger initiative.....I have to shake my head.
BTW kudos to the Tabbies!

Yup. This one scares me just as much as the game yesterday did. Riders did enough to win that game if they didn't make dumb coaching decisions and take bad penalties. Clean those up and they can take us. But I think the amped up crowd at IGF will help us win it. 

There should be more of a concern for that guy's mental health than anything else.  Holy crap is he deluded.  It's a game.
 
Has this guy lost touch with reality?  Or is this all a gimmick?

if it's a penalty at the start of a game it should still be a penalty at the end of the game too. I hate this idea that it's OK to cheat when it's late in a game but not early, it sort of invalidates the early part of the game. 

Don't even try to figure Jones out. I don't even think he knows.

I have no solid opinion one way or the other, but it's funny to hear you say that just because all season on Riderfans and Twitter, Rider priders have been complaining about how biased Suitor is against the Riders, and how he never has anything good to say about them.
I think it goes to show that when someone isn't falling all over Saskatchewan as the best team/organization/fans ever in the history of sports, they're automatically anti-Riders.
Makes the whole "conspiracy against us" BS a little unsurprising.

Keep in mind. Suitor drinks the green Kool aid. 
Seriously at one point he said if the riders could win this game and win next week they'd be right in the thick of the playoff race in the west. Dudes a fool. 
When the riders score a TD Glenn Suitor ejaculates Lots. 

The call was consistent. The one not called PI was hand-fighting pure and simple. On the last PI the defender clutched the arm of Dressler and used it to pull himself through. I agree with Climie on Sportscentre that it was PI. I called it as the play happened. I wasn't sure on one replay but watching it again he the Sask player clearly clutched Dressler's arm. They have called that all year.
As for Jones' comment, he was right not to comment wrong about the fine and wrong in implying that other teams get away with commenting on officiating. They don't. (For example, Bowman was fined for his post-game comments after the game last week). 

This **** show and poor record looks real good on Jones. Couldn't happen to a more deserving *******
