TBURGESS

SJ Green

Dee's gotta Dee. It's been settled for a while, you will make **** up I didn't say then complain about it. I complain about you making **** up yet again.

I'm on the fence on this one. I like our O line, RB and Receivers in general more than Toronto's, but Ray and SJ Green can take over a game all by themselves. I like their defense in general more than ours (68 points allowed in 3 games vs 69 in two, 14 Sacks to our 4, 379 Avg yards against to our 401) and I'll take their coaching staff, especially Trestman over ours. I didn't think they'd be as good as they are this early in the season. Should be a good game, hopefully with the right outcome.

Jennings is another QB who plays really well behind a bad O line.

Hamilton looks horrible. One scoring drive in the whole game. Huge number of big penalties. Looks like Rein-dolt's only a good special teams coach. Give him any more responsibility and he sucks. Collaros looks shell shocked. Happy feet and poor throws. He needs to get it together or it will be a very long season for the Ticats. This one was closer than it should have been. Take away the 115 yard pick 6 and it's 37-13 and that doesn't account for the Riders getting any points without the pick. Rider had too many penalties and made too many mistakes, but it didn't matter cuz Hamilton made more. Funny to think that the Riders would most likely be 2-0-1 if their kicker played just a bit better.

I don't agree on this one. Harris is a very good back who should be used more, not less. Dude's a flat out player who tries to get the most yards he can on every single play. Establish Harris as a runner and a receiver and the rest of the offense will come together.

3 stars: Dressler - Did everything they asked of him. Harris - Ran hard and caught a bunch out of the backfield. Health - 2 picks, but I still don't know who BLM was throwing to on the second one. HH - JFG for getting a TD, but why the heck are we trying to throw it deep to him?

Refs still call the D for PI when the receiver initiates contact. Gotta get rid of that too.

The comforting lie guy has already cornered the market.

More stuff you make up just to complain about. FTR: I never surprises or hurts me when folks make stuff up or complain about my posts.

Twice in one game? Nope, that's not the sign of a good QB having a great game.

This thread started when folks said how great Nichols played. If you read those posts, you'd think that we'd just routed the Riders or even a good team like the Stamps. None of the negatives were mentioned and folks got upset that I dared to even mention the other side of the story. It quickly went from complaining about things I didn't say to simply complaining about me in general. I let it go until BlueAndGold84 & BigBlue204 started it back up by quoting a day old post. Hint: Just let it go and don't bring me back in if you don't want to read what I have to say. I get it. You want to make stuff up I didn't say, complain about it and start this all over again. If you read my very first post in this thread you'll see I started with "Nichols had a great 20 minutes last night". I'd call that positive. You'd think we lost by a couple of scores? Really? That's not even possible in OT. If you want to complain about something? How about complaining about how we often start slow or let other teams back into games we should win going away?

O'Shea and Walters are the only coach/GM who have seen Hurl as a starting MLB and they also saw Kuale as a starting MLB.

Of course we might have scored a TD. That's why I said most likely outcome. I'd rather have seen the Riders make that OT FG and us win by scoring a TD so it was our good play rather than the Riders bad play that won us the game.

I don't see the Riders winning even half of their games. They've already let 2 winnable ones get away and I'm fairly certain that they will end up last in the West. But... Either the Riders are no where near as bad as a lot of folks around here think they are or we are no where near as good as those same folks think we are. If their crappy kicker could simply make 'easy' FG's, they'd most likely be 1-0-1, good enough to be tied for 2nd place in the West, which would leave us 0-0-1 and on the bottom. Notes: It doesn't mean everyone else is good and the Bombers are bad. It doesn't mean that I'm unhappy that we won. It doesn't mean that I was unhappy in the 90's when we won big. It doesn't mean that I wonder why folks think I'm negative. It doesn't mean anything at all about all the other QB's in the league. Did I miss any?

I voted for Rein-dolt. Nice guy. Great to talk to. His players loved him. Gave him too much too soon and he imploded. Second in my mind is Zaleski. Historically bad teams. Third would be Kelly. We didn't learn our lesson with Reinebold and gave Kelly full rein. Horrible coach. Horrible to the media and the fans. Immature. Jones .5. Fourth... Tim Burke. I'll never understand why we kept him around for 2013.

He's played 73 CFL games and this is the first time that I've seen him looking like a starting level MLB. 1 game out of 73 doesn't mean that folks were wrong about him before the last Riders game.

I think the slow start is because O'Shea teams generally start slow. It's nothing new and I expect to see a bunch more slow starts this year. Same story with teams coming back on us in the 4th.

Never satisfied with anything? An example of making stuff up that I didn't say just to complain about it. Probably upset back in the 90's? A second thing you made up just to complain about. FTR: I wasn't satisfied with going 17 minutes into the game without a single first down. I wasn't satisfied with the defense giving up 14 and the offense not scoring any points in the last 12 minutes of the 4th quarter. Anyone who was satisfied with those things must have an IV for their blue kool aid. That's because I expect starting CFL QB's to complete passes to wide open receivers.

Kelly never made the playoffs.

Take out Berry (Above .500 and we made the playoffs with him). Add Joe Zaleski.

I didn't make it sound like anything of the sort. Not sure why you continue to read stuff that I don't type then complain about it. I chose us to win in the Pick Em's, so no... it doesn't bother me that we won. Not even a little bit. Just another case of you reading something that isn't there then complaining about it.
