In his mind the riders eking out a barely over .500 record halfway through the season playing poor teams means they're a tough opponent.

Winnipeg is 3-0 against the good teams, Saskatchewan is 0-1.... so yay Saskatchewan because they lost to more shitty teams and beat less good ones than the Bombers?

And if we go by the have they beat the good teams criteria I think they are 0-1 against bc and haven't played winnipeg or calgary yet.

Who have they beaten? They came out of the cream puff part of their schedule 5-4....

Low bar.

Not to mention that the riders may very well be lower than.500 by the time we play them. And last time the Bombers played bc the narrative was that it was finally a tough team and they molly whopped them. And calgary has seen the Bombers play some of their beat games as well. This past game against Montreal was a trap game that they finally succumbed to. Grueling schedule, inconsequential opponent all that. And they still were in a position to win it but for a poor kick.

Surprised it was only a one spot drop.

Yeah a big part is that fans spent years kicking the Bombers when they were down and the success the team had was fleeting. Now that things are rock solid and there are back to back grey cups here everyone can't wrap their heads around it. Also jealousy. Pure unadulterated jealousy.

Edmonton couldn't do **** on O so it didn't matter.

Edmonton is just so bad.

Yeah playing for the easy field goal was right. Given how much time the Montreal dl was spending in collaros face why risk another fumble or a bad throw? Bottom line it all came down to simply making that routine field goal and they didn't get the job done.

No one told you that.

Good on him. Love to see guys earn success.

I started harping on that right away and I am still salty about it. 10 ply super saaaawwwwwffffttttt call.

Yeah but there's always an adjustment you can make.

It was a mis-fire on the kick. **** happens.

He and hardrick have been dinged all year. I mean really I think the big issue was the team waited too long to make adjustments to what the als were doing.

because his growth as a player is obvious to anyone who doesn't fly off the handle at every misstep. You still hate Harjalahu because he dared to have ups and down as a rookie now he's an NFL level kicker.

Walters is the most pro-active GM in the league. They don't just sit on their asses and do nothing ever.

No YOU don't have that trust. Legs is having a real good year. it is a shame he screwed the pooch tonight but that doesn't define him or his career. He is having a very good year.

What about this team makes you think they aren't going to come out spitting fire after the bye?

know how I know you don't read your own posts.?

I have been calling Fajardo this generations Nealon Greene for a while now.

I am offended on behalf of Kevin Glenn.

We're talking minimum 8-peat.
