  1. What are you on about this time? Nothing to do with devil's advocate. I think some of them were fake injuries, but make no mistake, there's no way for you or I or the refs to tell for sure, and that's what it takes to call penalties. I remember the Bombers doing the same thing back in the old days when we won all the time. Maybe that was before your time. You've hated Jones at least from the time he got the Riders job, but his team beat us this afternoon fair and square. They came out and ran us out of their park from the start of the game until the half. It could have been a bigger score if 'Smiley Dumbass' hadn't dropped a pass he had in both hands in the end zone or if Glenn had hit on a couple more deep balls where they were behind us.
  2. I forgot how whiny folks get around here when we lose. Can't complain about the refs in this one, they only gave us 4 for 40 while giving the Riders 9-75. Have to complain about something else. If O'Shea had come up with the 'fake' (In quotes because I don't know for certain if they were fake or not) injuries to slow down the other team, you guys would be going on and on about how smart he was to use the rules in our favour.
  3. How does anyone expect the refs to 'crack down' on injuries or cramps? The player is taken off the field for 3 plays. Want it changed so they have to stay off longer for every injury or just the one's that may be fake when teams are playing us? FTR: I'd rather not lose Loffler for more than 3 plays when he got injured and I don't want the refs using their digression when deciding if an injury is real or not.
  4. The 'fake' injury is smart. We used it in high school for dogs sake. Slowed us down and stopped us from running our quick offense. Nothing the matter with it and there's nothing that the refs can do about it. It's not like they can ignore injuries on the field.
  5. Why oh why did I pick Montreal this week? They almost look Hamilton bad.
  6. I partied with Riders fans at a bunch of Grey Cups. Most of them are just good folks who love their team. Not much different than most of the CFL fans.
  7. FTR... NO, this isn't one of my relatives!
  8. My wife and I were there and we didn't need any stinking shirt either. One of my last games before we moved to Vancouver. At least we got to see the 1990 Grey Cup live.
  9. Denmark moved to Dressler's spot when Dressler got injured.
  10. Denmark took Dressler's spot. If Dressler is healthy, it makes sense to just make one change and give him his spot back.
  11. Well at least you're think now. Does that make you a bad fan?
  12. Division games are 4 pointers because you get 2 and the other team doesn't get 2 points so you move up 4 points on them.
  13. I don't agree that everyone deserves a second chance. A dog may get one bite for free, but people shouldn't get one rape or murder or cover up for free. Rape and murder aren't mistakes in most cases. Cover ups never are. Most folks know what to say, or can be told what to say to 'admit to a mistake', but just saying the words doesn't make it real.
  14. Every Bomber fan goes into every game hoping the Bombers will win. You said you go in expecting to win, which means you don't even think about it. The two words don't mean the same thing. I'm neither a glass half empty nor a glass half full kind of guy. I'm a look at the two teams who are playing and actually think about who I think will win and why kind of fan.
  15. You said you expected to win every game in 2013. That's the definition of not thinking about the outcome.
  16. They are actually 4 point games.
  17. Expecting your team to win every game , without any thought, no matter who they play sounds like a Rider fan to me, not a Bomber fan.
  18. I'm a Jennings fan and I think he should be pulled at the half. His INT in the endzone was a horrible decision and he hasn't done anything since to make me think he'll turn it around this game. Time for the red headed guy.
  19. That's the worst game I've seen Reilly play in a long time. A bunch of overthrows. Some under throws. A few throws into double coverage. Yah, he was running for his life a lot of the time, but he's done that before and still looked great. The Riders just beat Edmonton in all 4 quarters, in a way we didn't just one week before. Make no mistake, this was a beat down and they did the same thing to BC 2 weeks ago. They did it much the way we won most games last year... Takeaways. When I looked at the schedule at the beginning of the year, I saw the back to back games against the Riders as free spots on the bingo card. Now they are looking more like statement games. Should be a couple of great games.
  20. I'm not excited. I'm asking a question.
  21. Are the Riders for real???? Back to back 40+ point games against BC then Edmonton. Bunch of takeaways and tons of pressure on the QB's. Looks like we have a couple of tough games coming up.
  22. I suspect that Loffler's injury has something to do with his reduced level of play.
  23. 3 Stars: Randle - His 2 picks saved the game for us. Harris - Took a licking, kept on ticking. Denmark - He had one of his great games. Happy Honker: This goes to someone who did something a bit special... Lankford for tracking down Logan and saving the TD.
  24. Every game we play against a team that is below us in the standings isn't a 'classic trap game'. We should have lost to Montreal the first time we played them. We absolutely killed them in the last 1:40, but they were way ahead before that. Montreal's a pretty good team that had a bad game last week. They should bounce back this week and I expect a hard hitting close game.
