Yeah, who would want an offensive player who can contribute in the running and passing game, as well as the return game? Oh and who is a national. I mean I guess when your club has no national players on offense who contribute you forget their value.

Hes a very good hybrid back who has a knack for trying too hard and it costing him.. oshea is on him constantly to lock it down when he goes for the extra yards.. it will either sink in or it wont but his benefits far outweigh his negatives imo..
 
Plus hes a winnipeg boy. Gotta love that.

Bobbling and came out when he went down. He didn't survive it.
No matter the call on the field either way I'm glad it wasn't overturned. Keep the overturns out of it unless its blatant- which it wasn't. Borderline at best 

Easy solution to the controversy is if Rogers holds the ball.  By bobbling it and then losing it he puts it in the refs hands.
Personally I don’t feel that he completed the catch AND had the ball over the plane.  He bobbles it and regained control outside of the end zone and then had it knocked out of his hands.  If it’s a completion he’s down at the 1.

And at the start of the game MOS throwing out the f bomb every second word. Cuthburt and Suitor seemed stunned.You could tell he was zoned in for the game. I think they turned his Mike down after that

The Morning After...With Coffee
👁‍🗨Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell lost a third-straight game for the first time in his CFL career. 👁‍🗨 can’t stop thinking that there’s a little less twang in his accent today..
👁‍🗨I do really want to see if we have a k/r in Nelson as we need help there. But where to fit him in the lineup?
👁‍🗨Thank you Chris Matthews for stretching for more yardage. That wasn’t smart or necessary. J Santos-Knox forced a turnover and the Bombers were on their way to a FG to tie the game.
👁‍🗨Curse you Chris Matthews for that 60 yard reception that led to a TD. Stamps 9-6 
👁‍🗨A strong Bomber defensive stand held the Stamps to 3 points after a Demski fumble, where his own teammate knocked it loose at the 25 yard line. Key play - a pass knock down by K. Fogg. It’s not a stretch to say this was a turning point for the Bombers. 12-3 as opposed to 16-3. That stop was huge.
👁‍🗨12-6 halftime score. In the past, it was never a good sign when trailing heading into the 3rd Q. But a 50 yard bomb to Adams helped change that. And then after the Stamps scored, a 60 yard pass to Wolitarsky showed where we’re at Offensively.
👁‍🗨Then, Bighill took over and forced yet another fumble. Another Bomber FG and an 11 point lead.
👁‍🗨Aren’t those 3rd down gambles nerve-wracking? I believe I would have punted. O’Shea’s not scared though and says he would do it again. That’s 3 - 3rd down failures that I can recall, and the 1st 2 almost cost us the playoffs.
👁‍🗨Then..the bobble at the goal line by Rogers. A slight bobble while attempting the catch at the goal line cost the Stamps a TD. A call either way couldn’t be overturned. It was too close.
👁‍🗨LaPo - a well called game. You deserve credit for this one!
👁‍🗨Can’t forget R. Hall, who’s always being slammed. Lots of timely pressures.
👁‍🗨The playmakers stepped up last night. And the list is long. Nichols, Harris, the O-line, J Santos-Knox, what’s his name? in the middle, Adams, and yes..Demski.
👁‍🗨Sayles (what a find)
👁‍🗨511 yards and possession time, great yac yards. Good combo.
👁‍🗨Clean game - only 4 penalties each.
👁‍🗨That 4th Q was a beaut. Stopped the Stamps on their 1st drive and then controlled the ball for 3 1/2 minutes to kick that FG from no pressure Medlock.
👁‍🗨There was a turnover on downs, and a controversial no-catch call at the goal line. You could almost hear the screams from Edmonton. - No reports on damage though, from the Maas household.
👁‍🗨Now today, can just sit back and enjoy some football and hockey without the worry of getting into the playoffs..

Headline - Cameron Judge Benefits From Sam Hurl’s Tutelage
Cameron Judge:
“I ask him or get some pointers from him while we’re watching film. He has been really helpful for me this year.”
Gaining more playing time in 2018, @CameronJudge has a strong LB mentor in @SamHurl.
Sam Hurl..”Do you see what I did there? Well, don’t do that” Or
                  “Do you see what I did there?   “That’s exactly the right technique, but you have to do it a hell of a lot faster”              
                     “Do you see what I did there?   ”That’s called the chase mode. Always be prepared to follow that ball carrier closely”   https://www.riderville.com/2018/10/25/cameron-judge-benefits-sam-hurls-tutelage/

Too bad about Mo. He was a special player here during his time. Really a huge part of being one of those big time, classy players who helped change the culture of our football club from being one or the worst ran organizations to one of the best.  Whether this is the end or not I want to congratulate Mo for an outstanding career in the Blue and Gold. He always had an absolute nose for the football. Can’t be said enough his impact for the Bombers over his tenure here in Winnipeg.

Is there a way to filter Jim Bender out of the Tweets panel on the message board? He is a downer, and that is coming from me.

Always go for the throat..always...playing to not lose is not how you got the lead in a game...to change it up and play like a *****...well the results generally aren't favorable and thats usually when you incur injuries too

Most of the people wanted Nichols on the bench when he clearly was rattled and not playing good at all.    It still would of been good to give Streveler a few quarters during the losing streak just to see if he could jump start the offense. 

There were a number of games this season that were there for the taking and if one phase of the team (*cough* offense *cough*) had bothered to show up and play a full 60 minutes we'd likely have a win or two more under our belts.  It's the bed we've made for ourselves and now we have to take care of business over the final two weeks of the season. I'm hopeful. It appears we're rounding into form.
We can gripe all we want about Saskatchewan's luck, their record and the giant number of ****** nozzle's on their team but they've put themselves into the post season by taking care of business.  In the end, it doesn't matter HOW you win, only that you did.

I have no problem with Ripper being here. He's a lot better than most Rider fans who come here to troll.  I don't agree with what he says at times but he has every right to be here as long as he  is respectful. For the most part he is. 

Bighill is an absolute monster. No way we’d be this dominate on defence without him.

I’m going to give some credit to Mike O’Shea.
The decision to substitute players for the 4th quarter was an important step for O’Shea. It was a must.
When Streveler went in, it was a learning experience. He threw that pick to the sidelines. This was the time to make that mistake..when you’re up by big points, not when #1 QB goes down and you’re pressed into action. Right there, Streveler found out you can’t casually throw that ball to the sidelines. He had to bullet it there. Now he knows. He won’t be doing that again. 
Streveler found out by playing. There’s no other way.
 

Four straight wins capped off with this dominant display.  I feel bad for all the former Bomber fans who are "over this regime."  They're really missing out.

Lol. This aged well

I think you mean archetypal.   I'm not sure that any of the names bandied about would have actually improved the team in any measurable way.  The only thing that a trade would have done is to satisfy the "they have to do something" itch that so many here seem to need to have scratched. 

Alexander has been excellent this season and his play is really underrated. I’d argue he’s one of our best DBs and losing him would be a blow.

Given he’s a product of Wally’s system I can get behind that.

More like a shitty Casey Printers.
