My own motivation? LOL. So, you really want to argue? You better start another thread for that.

Even in that dismal team you can see evidence of this. Blown out by calgary, bounce back against montreal. Blown out on LD, bounce back to win in BJB.
In this era of athletes, the difference between elite teams and bottom dwellers is seldom over all talent level. Its preparation, motivation, work ethic etc. Top teams tend to have better distributions of talent, but you still have a ton of big time play makers on the worst teams in the league right now. The 3 teams that dont make the play offs will still get wins. And there is always a good chance that win will come off a big loss.
Because nothing motivates, fuels you to get your self into a better situation and work to prepare then getting punched in the mouth.
For my money bc, montreal, and ssk are the three teams poised to be the bottom tier of the league. But its still early and they can fight out of that position.
Jury's out on Collaros. So far the early indications are that he's never going to be an elite qb again. If that's the case then the Riders are hooped. Brandon Bridge is a marginal starter at best & may win them only a handful of games. Someone needs to ask the Riders twitter account how's their qb situation?

This is a good time to cancel /avoid where possible any trips to the states.
No thanks. My son has moved to the US. His wedding is in 2 weeks. His fiancee's family are wonderful people. No way I'm boycotting so as not to see my son or his bride from here on out.

Mr SpeedFlex27: How would you like to put up the gameday thread this Thursday night or Friday?
Then you can see your "name up in lights"!
Go ahead I won't do it ... I would like you to get all that glory
I've been here a long time. Everyone who knows me here also knows that I don't start many threads but I do when I think they are relevant. I pick & choose the time to do it. Not to get attention like you.

And out of the three Nichols is probably the most nervous about his job.....Streveler An Bennett are both younger and stepped up when needed. The next few games might even be huger for their resumes....as for Nichols, it's the the old "what have you done for me lately" scenario........it's going to be interesting...

The sad thing was we all thought (at the time) that Tim Burke replacing LaPo as HC of the Bombers in 2012 was a positive move as we thought that he would instill a little fear into the players by being more of a hard ass than Lapo was. That he'd also instill some much needed team discipline which was lacking under LaPo as well. The total opposite happened. If anything, the team got worse & not better under Burke. Often times, he had no answer as to how to fix the team when asked after loss after blown out loss. He made a name as a Defensive Coordinator in the CFL but couldn't make the successful jump to Head Coach which seems to happen a lot. It was obvious from that 52-0 blowout in Saskatchewan on Labour Day Sunday in his first game as HC on that he wasn't the answer going forward. Mercifully, Wade Miller fired him as soon as the 2013 season ended. That really affected Burke who went to the Argos as DC but eventually quit. I have no idea where Tim Burke is now or if he is retired from football or not.

His accuracy looked okay to me on Friday.
