Rider fans...

I'd much rather see the option window back. Having to let guys out of their contracts just bugs me because both parties know what they're getting into when they sign the contract and I hate to see people act like they are entitled to have their contract ended. 

Debatable.

The new jerseys are disgusting. They completely overthought the process and should've followed suit with the whole "old is new again" thing that has taken over recently.
 
Classic, simple, clean. That's how they should have went with it. The current product looks like what happens when a designer gets angry after you take his glue gun and bedazzling kit away. Too many lines, colored trims and other nonsense just for the sake of being new.
 
Home jersey - royal blue, white numbers, gold trim.
Away jersey - white, royal blue numbers, gold trim.

Retro 80's for the big fat win.
 
Mods, you can lock the thread now

Plus, running backs are a dime a dozen.  Probably the easiest position on the roster to replace.

Didn't Morley practice at center last year and he was awful at it?  He couldn't get the long snaps down in shotgun.

PENIS JOKES

I really hope they haven't given up on Jade Etienne.  We were just starting to see something from him last year.

Sign Glenn when he gets released.
 
Sign big Willy when he hits free agency.
 
I'd much rather over pay for an NI offencive lineman than for Burris.

nooooooooooooooooo
 
anyone who calls a team FC and wears a scarf to a sporting event is a ****** of epic levels. 

This hire is giving me flash backs to the countless times Marcel kept putting Boltus back in there for 2nd and short situations, despite that fact that it was obvious to everyone, except Marcel, that boltus was awful at it. Game after game he kept putting him back in and game after game we would do a collective face palm. 
 
It was so bloody obvious, (and easy to fix.), and yet it was never corrected.
 
This hire really concerns me. 

Kohlert was one of my favorite players.  He's not a flashy player but he catches everything that is thrown near him.  The guy is money. 
 
Here is an interesting tidbit from the Free Press this morning:
 
"Interestingly, a CFL source told the Free Press late Monday Kohlert had already agreed to terms with Winnipeg and wants to remain here. That leaves the possibility the 25-year-old Saskatchewan product could wait until February and re-sign with the Bombers as a free agent."

I really hope he waits and re-signs with the Bombers. 

Absolutely not. Fans are the last people I want to see having any say in the operations of this franchise.

There's nothing here I can really disagree with. I think you hit the nail on the head.
 
That being said, I still can't blame Burke for trying to make a case for himself.  It's not going to work, because there are major flaws in his argument, (As you pointed out.), but I can see why he would try.  I think most people in his situation would try the same thing.

It's the second round pick, (10th overall.), that baffles me a little. 
 
If it was Hall for Nuefeld strait up, that would have been fair.  But a 2nd round pick as well?  I think we overpaid.

I was at the game and to me it felt like when everyone was standing and cheering when Buck came in, that is was for Buck and not to **** on the team.  I don't see why people would actually stand and cheer if it wasn't for Buck. Previous to that when people where chanting "we want Buck", that may have been the "F-U" to the team.
 
Bob Irving interviewed 2 players last night and asked them about the indecent.
 
Terence Edwards was upset with the fans.
Bryant Turner thought it was a nice tribute to Buck. (I think it was Bryant Turner. It was someone on defence.)
 
So I don't believe that everyone in the locker room was upset by it and I do believe there were some who were cheering for buck and not against the Bombers when he got that standing ovation.
 
That's just my take on it.

They held the 8-1 Saskatchewan Roughriders to 127 yards passing, 154 yards rushing and zero touchdowns. They sacked Durant 8 times. Dressler, Getzlaf, Bagg and Simon all had ONE catch each. There isn't a single member of that defence that deserves to be called a bum. Not one.

Even though I say it every time it comes up.
 
Can we PLEASE use these royal blue uniforms on a permanent basis?!
 
Is there anyone out there that honestly thinks THIS

 
is better than THIS

Khari Jones was a damned good qb, a damned good qb. Yeah Stegall had huge numbers, but he didn't get those lofty totals with any other qb throwing him the ball. As always it's a two way street with qbs and receivers. Great qbs always have great receivers because they throw them passes that let them make plays. Khari knew that if the safety was blitzing that Stegall or Bruce or someone would be open deep and he put the ball up for them to make a play on it. Yeah he threw a lot of ints, but a lot of that was simply putting a ball up and letting the receivers make a play and it wound up scoring more touchdowns than ints. It's a great shame that he never had a top notch offensive line to play behind and that it caused his shoulder to be buggered up and shorten his career. A real leader on the field too. I had thought that after this much time people would have stopped this nonsense about him being carried by his receivers when they looked back at the play from the position since he was here and what Khari accomplished. 

If we lose to Hamilton the season is not over.  Heck, if we lose to Hamilton twice and Saskatchewan twice the season is not over.  That's just the nature of the CFL. 
 
Right now the Bombers are 2 points from being tied for second place and 4 points out of first place.
 
What else do you expect the coach to say?
 
Keep in mind the Bombers were tied with the Lions in the fourth quarter, who are a damn good team playing at home.
 
All Burke is doing is rallying the troops.  Let's not over react.

I agree with you, but also why didn't Burke and Crowton talk to him before they made the announcement.
 
Everything gets turned into a circus it seems.

This place kind of reminds me of going to the cottage.
 
There just seems to be less noise.
 
I'm assuming this place is winterized?
