I'd be very surprised if we ended up with 10 wins. I'd be happy with 3-3 in the last 6, with one of those wins hopefully being the game vs BC. I don't expect us to do better than 1-2 vs Edmonton and Calgary, more likely 0-3. I was thinking victories against Hamilton, Ottawa, BC and one of Calgary and Edmonton. Might be a tad optimistic but I think we can do it if Willy is good to go and I think that's what it's going to take to make the playoffs.

LOL. this is so wrong on so many levels it's crazy... Kevin Glenn? Dude you are confusing what people on fan boards said. Noone in the bombers ever said Glenn was an option, they actually said the opposite, said he wasn't. You got it all backwards 1. Willy and Collaros (he came available first) 2. Willy and Burris (he only came available after the ticats signed collaros) 3. Willy Common them in all those options, Drew Willy. Stop pretending what fans on the forum wanted is what the team wanted. Kevin Glenn was never an option. Ever. Not once. Only to a few people on these fan boards. I'm not sure that the guy who is completely unaware of the Bombers inquiring about Kevin Glenn even after we had acquired Drew Willy should be telling me that I have things backwards. The Bombers were very interested in Kevin Glenn, we just weren't willing to give up Goossen to get him. In other words, we didn't want him that bad. That was after we signed Willy too so to have Glenn ahead of willy on your made up in your head list is ridiculous. Where did you see Kevin Glenn ahead of Drew Willy? You didn't because it isn't there. You're completely clueless, there was no situation in which Drew Willy and Zach Collaros could've been teammates.

I wouldn't be surprised if Winnipeg/Sask/BC all ended up with ten wins.

There isn't one. I'm still not sure why we didn't keep Jaymar Johnson. He looked better than Romby at the very least.

I'd be a lot happier if we could of gotten a decent import receiver and O-linemen. We really dropped the ball in those areas.

Do we really need to be attacking the Rider fans in every single thread? Quite honestly that's more annoying than the presence of the few Rider fans we have here.

No doubt Ottawa has the worst receivers in the league, but Burris hasn't played well himself either. He's not entirely off the hook for the problems going on there.

Back to Cornish for me

No. To almost all of it. No. A collection of weak and likely incorrect assumptions based on a completely flawed premise. The only weak and incorrect assumptions in this thread is ''Bombers management said the guy they signed was the number one target so obviously its true.'' Lots of stuff I said is my opinion(as I said) but there's a ton of facts in there as well. But hey, if you feel like picking through those ''weak and likely incorrect assumptions'' feel free and I'd be happy to prove you wrong.

I feel like we're back in the Kevin Glenn era when our biggest concern was finding a decent backup QB. Mike Quinn, Tee Martin, Ryan Dinwiddie... boy we sure started some quality backups in those days.

Willy was clearly our third option. The ''they weren't all available at the same time'' argument has no merit whatsoever when you consider the fact that we traded for Willy. If Willy was our first choice, you can bet your ass that the trade would've been made for him before Collaros & Burris were released. I don't see any scenario in which Collaros & Willy both sign with us. It's complete homer-ism(something I'd expect from the Rider fans not us to be quite honest)to think that Collaros would sign here without being guaranteed the starting job. If Burris signs here, things get a little more interesting. In that scenario, we still do pursue Willy to be our backup(the Riders didn't have enough $$$$ to sign Willy as a backup and they were comfortable with Sunseri) but, BC with Lulay on the shelf also likely pursues him. IMO, in that scenario Willy signs with BC knowing that he gets to start the first half of the season. This is just my opinion but I think our preferences for Quarterbacks were 1) Henry Burris & Drew Willy 2) Zach Collaros & Kevin Glenn 3) Henry Burris 4) Drew Willy & Kevin Glenn 5) Zach Collaros 6) Drew Willy 7) Kevin Glenn It's nice that we got the best of the three Quarterbacks, but I'd agree that we did get lucky in how things turned out. You just can't convince me that Henry Burris gets offered nearly 400K if we wanted Drew Willy as our starting QB. That doesn't add up whatsoever, we clearly wanted Burris badly. In the end, who really cares? The Bombers won big with Willy and the RedBlacks lost big with Burris. That's all that concerns me.

We're so screwed without Willy, so ****ing screwed.

It'd be nice to see Henoc get the start.

Let's shutdown Harris tonight and make him eat his words.

When they had Denmark out playing receiver last year, and even before that I personally didn't think of much him. I thought he was a replacement level player like Aaron Kelly is. I'm glad to say that I was wrong about Denmark. He's come along quite nicely, and is a really good number two receiver.

Yikes. That front seven is terrifyingly bad but we can't afford to lose to BC. Hopefully we can grind our way to a win and get healthy on the bye week.

I'm assuming that's why they gave the Bombers a bye in the last week.

I'm not the biggest Grisgby fan but he's light years ahead of Kuale. Kuale just being on the field is a negative for our defense.

Grigsby is the best RB in the league?? Are you serious?

Much ado over nothing lol.

An unpopular opinion around here but I agree. Watson doesn't have very much time left, between his constant injuries and decently high salary I don't think he'll be here for more than another year or two. IF we could get a second rounder and a backup Canadian receiver for him, I'd pull the trigger on a Watson deal. A desperate team like Ottawa with a foolish GM might be willing to overpay for him.

Losing Anderson hurts I'm a big of his, he'll most likely be out the first half or so of next season as well. Our ratio would be completely screwed if this happened to Jake Thomas. We need some depth, it's really a shame that we couldn't snag Mulumba or Bilukidi. Dan West & Don Unamba come out of the dog house, in you go Chad Anderson.

Leave this site immediately with that nonsense. There isn't a plausible situation where I will cheer for the Riders. It just won't and can't happen.
