I think Mitchell is the better fit in Calgary. Tate is a talented guy but he'd never co-exist with BLM & would be a distraction with his unhappiness. Glenn is an easy going guy & doesn't make waves. I think at the end of the day, the Stamps protect Mitchell & if none of their qbs are taken by Ottawa then trade Drew Tate. Just my gut feeling.

Braley bailed out Hamilton, BC & then Toronto. There may not have been a CFL if not for him. You can trash the man all you like but where are the owners with money??? Nowhere. Just like out in Atlantic Canada. Nowhere to be found out there, either.

The decision to play defence first is because it gives you a huge advantage in the overtime format.  If you go offence first and find yourself on 3rd down, you pretty much have to kick a field goal.  By going offence second, you already know what your opponent did, so if they scored a TD, you have the luxury of knowing you have to go for it on 3rd down.  If they went FG, then you know you can kick the FG.
 
Has nothing to do with resting defence or preparing your QB.

He has said in some interviews that he would like to go back to being a GM and/or HC. He's also applied for a few openings in the past few years as well including here after Kelly and Bauer were gone.

Getting a very good head coach is so important. Look what Jim Harbaugh did in San Francisco in such a short time. Under Mike Singletary, the team  was accomplishing nothing.  But the culture changed when Harbaugh came in. So, a team's culture can change quickly. It all depends who is in charge.

Thank you. And so are you. Have a nice daaay! 

At this point, all I really have to cheer for this season is "**** the Riders..." Anything that brings their fans misery, fills my heart.

What bugs me isn't the fact we didn't sign Reilly, it was the Bomber fans sticking up for Mack saying Reilly was crap & that going after him would have been a mistake. What has he ever done? What makes everyone think he's any good?? That's all we heard. That pissed me off more than anything. How Reilly was trashed just assuming because he didn't sign here he was a piece of crap. And that the qbs we had were just as good or  better.

Burris tried a stupid jump pass in FG range.  That's all on him.  All he had to do was eat the ball and they could have kicked the 3.

But, but, but, Goltz is the answer, he's such a great runner!! Now about that throwing the ball part and READING defenses...

You see what Calgary did with Hughes as Figueroa was dominating him? They started moving him around, put him as a stand up rush end, at OLB, did twists & stunts & it started to confuse Hank. Thing is, they did that in the fourth quarter which to me was impressive. They didn't stand pat. Rick Campbell likes to blitz but we didn't see a lot of it before then. Anyway, the Stamps D ended up with 5 sacks, two by Hughes as well as turning up the heat on Hank who does dumb things when he is under pressure like that pick late in the game. That 4th quarter was all Stamps D. 

Bo Levi Mitchell came through in the clutch. Great young qb. Nothing seems to faze the guy. I'd say the best of all the young guns in the CFL. He made a couple of mistakes early with the interception & fumble but he didn't let it rattle him. BLM just went on to the next play & forgot it so props to him for being so poised.
Bo Levi sure came on strong in the second half. Hank had a great start & faded when the pressure was on as Hank always does. He got to 50,000 yds career CFL passing, threw for nearly 400 yds & still lost. That pick he threw late in the 4th quarter was inexcusable for a 15 year veteran. After the game Hank was inteviewed & said he has to learn from his mistakes & get better. Like huh?? A 15 year veteran serves up a brain fart on a play like that & he still says he has to learn from his mistakes?? Whatever happened to ball security being the first priority in field goal range??? That is why Hank's not missed in Calgary. And why he is going to drive Hamilton fans nuts like he did the fans in Calgary & Kent Austin will want to strangle him.

I'd rather be the Best In The West than a Beast In The East.

Maybe you guys should pool your money to bring me out for a game. Last game at McMahon that I was at the score was 52-2 for the Bombers. 

Great....

We are a western city. Period. Our great history and tradition lies in the West. 

So, how long will it take us to fire up the ole rivalries with BC, Edmonton, and Calgary? Try about 5 minutes. To say nothing of the utter craziness, we'll have going on with the Riders, as a actual division rival....... 

As far as this "tougher division" stuff.....we just have to wipe our noses, hitch up our pants and get on with it.

No compensation, fine then next time Ottawa fails tell the Riders to play in the East.

someone posted this at riderfans LOL

That diabolical laughter you hear is Colin celebrating that his plan worked.    j/k of course Iso.
