REMAINING M.O.A.B. (Hamilton) Duressler47 (Saskatchewan) Noeller (Hamilton) fan4life (Saskatchewan)

Tino looked great. Much better game against a good Ottawa defence. He certainly didn't look GREAT. He played much better in the second half than in the first, but great? No. Good enough to beat a crappy team? Yes.

Good for Tino to pull that off.

You beat me to it. The block to the back was bad enough, but the roughing the kicker non call defies belief. If the Riders win this game close I hope they have the decency to not pound their chests too much.Don't worry. They're not going to win. That's showing a lot of faith in a team that has crapped their pants a lot this season. Say what you want about Ottawa, but Sunseri bought stock in Huggies.

What an awful non call.

Tino looks HORRIBLE

Well yeah no kidding and that's not unfair of the fans to be like that either. It's not rocket appliances, I'm going to be more accepting of penalties taken by a player who actually contributes positively. As it stands right now, I bet if you looked at it and balanced out the net yards by Romby between his offensive gains and his penalties, he's likely close to being in the negative.

I'd venture to say that if they had connected two or three times over this spell, talk about Bryant would be different. I wouldn't. I saw him catch that 70 yarder that got called back on a penalty and I still think he's horrible. He may have speed to burn, but he has no awareness of the ball in flight and just like the first time he was here, he shows ZERO fight for a contested throw. Couple that with stupid penalty after stupid penalty and a turnover and I have no use for him.

I think he's an idiot but it's more because of his stance on players not being allowed to show any kind of individuality whatsoever while on the field. This is just typical NFL stuff.

If you know OL worth bringing in as developmental projects right now, please let the club know. Let me spin this another way - when was the last time an offensive lineman who signed his first CFL contract in the month of September became anybody worth mentioning? Never.

I think Brazill just threw up a gang sign LOL

Picked Toronto to win. They have a lot of weapons now and have been playing tough. Looking like Ricky came to play. Just curious to see how long before Brazill fumbles.

Toronto wait screw it Calgary

This is one of those situations where people tend to ignore what the Bombers do and put everything else every other team does under a microscope. Are you really concerned that we didn't bring in a 25 year old offensive lineman that bounced around the CIS before going undrafted? I mean really, we just brought in two Canadians a week ago. Both as practice roster additions.

Quoted because if I don't keep this, no one will believe you said it.

Now that pretty much everyone has been eliminated from the Lock of the Week, I figure we could do with a new contest to pass some time. It may be week 13, but I'm still going to give it a go anyways. CFL Survivor Pool. Pick the winner of one game each week. You pick a losing team, you're out. You can't pick the same team two weeks in a row. You miss a week, you're out. Go.

I disagree. There's huge value in keeping a defense off balance and guessing. A few passes per game to Fitzgerald, and a few runs up the middle for Pontbriand would help do that. I never said replace Watson with Fitzgerald in the slot. You're right, there is huge value in keeping a defense guessing. But taking the ball away from skilled guys? To give it to Carl Fitzgerald or Pontbriand? We'd be better served finding ways to keep the defense guessing AND putting the ball in the hands of skilled players. I'd prefer to see more of Stoudermire on offense if that's the type of stuff we're trying to pull off. Or send Grigsby out to the wide side in a six receiver set like they've done a bit. That's the type of stuff that will make a defense pay if you can succeed at it. As JBR said, Fitzgerald or Pontbriand are well served as tendency breakers. The way they contribute is fine by me right now, but we shouldn't be relying on them to give us more than one first down a month.

I agree with all of this, except the 'stellar' part. Morley is a much better center than guard, to be sure, but I've also seen him fall down virtually untouched on a few occasions. Yet there are CFL executives who believe he deserves to be in the running for the Most Outstanding Lineman award.

Whoever made the decision to move Morley to center extended his career by several years and turned a mediocre guard into a stellar center. Other than that, I'm not impressed. The OL isn't the gong show some make it out to be but it's very inconsistent and very underwhelming.

That would make a lot of sense in my opinion. It's certainly worked when we've used it before.

There's no such thing as a fullback that gets you 5 yards every time. And if there was, it sure wouldn't be a 30+ year old career special teams player who excels with the ball in somebody else's hands.

No idea, but Rider fans who come onto Bomber forums acting like clowns shouldn't go throwing stones at Bomber fans who post on the Rider home forum. We all read what you have to say over at Riderfans about the Bombers. Don't come looking for sympathy and crying crocodile tears over here if a Bomber fan makes you look bad on your home forum. You come here all trying to give the impression that you're a nice guy but everything you say to Bomber fans and about the Bombers on your home forum is real douchebaggery. Own it. Perhaps what we write on our home forum isn't meant for your eyes. Your logic button is broken. Well, I suppose I did have your account activated now, didn't we ? and I got your account activated over there, so what on earth is your point?

Who cares about Saskatchewan. Let's worry about ourselves and if we take care of business, we'll beat out whoever it happens to be.
