Pickle Rick

Walker was not very good last year he will be worse this year, I'm glad they signed him

Very few non-problematic areas in the Rider team or coaching or management this year. Gonna be a baaad year to be a Rider fan.

Why are we still dwelling on the last game? Bombers are gonna cruise to two consecutive Grey cups this and next year as was the case in 61/62

"Dont look back" 😉

Hey Teach
Is there a lesson to be learned when their kicker chokes on a potential Grey Cup winning kick? 

Drew is worlds better than suhk. Suhk was good on a great line desjarlais was great on a great line. 
Heart breaking. Though gray Dobson and Eli is a ton of depth. 
Is it crazy money yeah, but if you are gonna give a crazy money contract out I’d give it to a 25 year old with rings fresh off the nfl who happens to be the best at his position in the cfl and is an ni. Far better than giving lawler 300k imo. Or giving blm 500k+ 

Doesn't Drew know money goes much further in Regina and there are way more off the field opportunities?  Big mistake... 😂

you came to the non-bomber offseason news thread looking for bomber news?

thing is too...Evans isnt a free agent....so they would have to trade for him...and Sask being desperate Ham can right rape em'....that being said Ham may want some stability/insurance behind Mitchell....so a restructure of Evans could be done, or they just make it work...Evans may want to stay there and get back into the tandem thing like before...and maybe learn how to be a pro from BLM as opposed to going to Sask and that shitshow of a joke right now...conceivably the Riders could be trotting out a Shiltz/Faj combo...or a Shiltz/Fine combo...either of which would be just glorious hahaha...cause really...what else is there now for them??

Solid add for Hamilton but he's on the downside and $500,000 is breaking the bank imo A Nelson Muntz Ha Ha to saskatchewan.

Two great interviews by Justin Dunk, O'Shea opens up much more than he usually does when talking to the media.
 
 
 

I don't think what he did was so inexcusable either. It wasn't written in the contract ahead of time that he would need to be vaccinated. It was something that kind of just got added in on the fly I guess due to the travel restrictions. He wasn't a starter so it didn't hurt the team. He then opted to sit out while he was not under contract and now he's back. I wish the fully vaxxinated offensive line we had in last year's Grey Cup did a better job of protecting Zach. If he can help the team I'm glad he's back.There are plenty worse things players have done in the past then opt not to inject something in their body. 
How does Eli's unwillingness to inject compare to Andrew Harris' over eagerness to inject things costing the team two games with him?

Unfortunately I don't have snap counts, but...

Winnipeg's D faced 686 dropbacks (Pass attempts + Sacks + QB scrambles)
Ottawa's D faced 613

Total pass + rush attempts against their D + sacks (per CFL):
Winnipeg: 942
Ottawa: 947

You would think, based on all the coverage from the CFL, TSN and their mouthpieces, that Rourke was coming to the CFL. They've spent more time and energy promoting a player leaving the league to be a backup than they have actually promoting the CFL. 

a 2 at 10 is a 10 at 2.

I need to read about another big blue bomber signing.

Been away for a bit...took some time catching up...My taker on a few things
Bryant will be in Blue in Gold...if he is not, he wont be playing but expect him to re-up before free agency, and after the other key pieces have...thats how he and the Bombers roll
Rose back is big...lotta hate for a guy who was basically playing at under 100 percent for 14 or so games, and trying to bring a rotating door of a secondary and LB corp together
Same with Biggie...hurt...a lot....and played more strong safety this year for most part, than tru MLB....And then having Wilson out early compounded things....and Wilson back as well is huge and not concerned with his recovery, as he never required surgery, and was already "working out" behind the scenes last part of yr...he will be fine....Hansen too...no surgery as well
No way we replace Couture with Kolo if we make it work via SMS...not happening...and not up to speed on Hardrick, or if his deal been announced yet...but he not going anywhere...was a lot to read
Expect to see Lawler back here and the expense of Ellingson, only way see Ellingson given a shot is on the cheap and if we lose Schoen....We gonna see an expanded role and legit opp for Agudosi and Haliegh to take a spot on roster, and basically you can count on both Bailey and Demski back...
This Walters talk is kinda funny and blown way out of proportion by many in "media" but Kyle and Miller always worry about Kyle last..

Whispering 'but stays a Bomber for life, carves out a nice career in the CFL, enjoys  a few GC rings and see's his name up in the rafters'.

I will point out that Boston Pizza is ranked as one of the top 5 restaurants in Virden.
 

that's a really great point and is a big deal for me. We were dogshit for so long... as far as I'm concerned, every other team can eat a bag of dicks for a good long time, while we sit on the top of the mountain drinking the good water.

weird...I just want us to win, by any means necessary.......

Quite a balanced schedule at first glance.
Ready for this team to go absolutely scorched earth across the league.

Grey Cup rematch only happening once (in Wpg), yet another missed opportunity by the league/MLSE to sell tickets in Toronto.
