Bisons are dominating the turnover game.

They could stick a Rider running back rushing for 10 yards and it would win this.

the reception was to our quarterback no less.

They never should have disbanded the student section.

Beer snakes will be allowed to slither in Sections 140 and 141, which will be the reborn "Section S" area. #Bombers

I was cold, I was wet, but I got a high five from Watson, Teague, and Johnny Sears and got some game worn gloves (I think Willys). And saw one of the worst streaks ever mercifully end. Absolutely one of the best days of my life....

Yea, Marve looked very comfortable out there.  I'm not sure we win today if Willy plays the second half.

7-11 and competitive in most of the games on the year.... if we'd put that as an option at the start of the year people would have absolutely taken it. Disappointing to miss the playoffs but this season was a big step forward for this team. Make some good moves in the offseason and .500 or better should absolutely be attainable next year. 

I agree with most of what you say, but this is a forum not an echo chamber.

Problem is cheering for the Riders makes me want to barf.

J) I make a second run to the LC.

Not going to blame the refs for the loss (we did that to ourselves), but the reffing was pretty terrible. Their receivers were a yard offside multiple times on that last drive.

Rider offense today:

dude, you just need to... experience regina

This is, IMO, the most refreshing thing about Willy - he actually progresses through his reads and spreads the ball around.

JFG was injured - Kohlert had a nice block and a catch or two I think. Our offence certainly didn't light it up.

should've bought out pavelec, but other than that I'm fine with what he's done with the team.

I think the overall problem with the media, and Milt Stegall talked about this on TSN last Thursday night before the game, is that some of these people like to spout educated guesses about how things will go during a year, and then just wait to say "I told you so" among other things.  To be fair I was just thinking about what the headlines might be saying about the bombers as I didn't really look at them after the Argo game and decided to look at them today.
 
Overall, the tone seems to be okay on the WFP site, but I've noticed GL has put no more columns down on the site about the bombers since releasing that one about O'Shea and keeping a lid on it.  My take on him in particular is that he likes to think he's the Nostradamus of the CFL.
 
My problem with Wiecek, and I don't read much of his columns, but it seems to be that even in some of his more positive articles, he uses terminology that strikes me as being unprofessional for a media person.  Maybe living down in the states and living down in different paradigm of media markets has made me think this way, but I see some of his titles and wording as being a bit too casual even for a columnist.
 
I think one of the problems is some of these outlets are relying too heavily on columnists instead of putting people in there that go out and get actual news from what's going on.  And by that I don't mean you have to be in every team meeting or go trying to find out their game plan or find all the dirt going on, but there are plenty of ways to get more stories with hard facts about the team going than what's been happening recently, or at least enough to not have to rely on columnists.  Someone else was saying that some of what may be going on more recently is the press being upset about their access to the team these days, hence why they may write more opinionated tabloid-like pieces.
 
But I would have to agree, I know people who have no degrees in journalism or communications at all that could still write better articles than some of the garbage that pops up around there.
