It's the same standard for all teams in the league, injuries effect everyone.

You're confusing effort level with execution and discipline. The effort level is not an issue, it's been there since day 1. It's the coachable, teachable things like discipline and execution that have been killing them during the losing streak. Those are the things that we are being told the coaching staff is working on correcting.....for the past 8 weeks now.

Actually, rookie qb has done everything you can ask of him, supporting cast around him not good enough.

So, let me get this straight, the coach just suffered his 5th loss in 6 games and his priority is to 'get to the bottom' of a tweet????
 
No wonder the ship is sinking.

I would argue that they have yet to come through when the game is on the line, at least I can't recall that scenario happening this season?

You want battle level, look no further than Damon Allen, his Grey Cups were no fluke.You can take all the Calvillo's you want, but in the end if we're talking CFL with this wide open field and all the running room in the world for a QB, I'd prefer Damon Allen in his prime any day of the week. But sad truth is, almost nobody can do what he did as well as he did it throughout his career, just too bad more people don't have the ability to fully appreciate what he accomplished.

I don't think it's an injury that playing on will matter for his long term health. If it's not too sore Willy will start, that's how football goes, and if get's too sore Brohm will come in and finish up.

Willy holds onto the ball too long though, he's always looking for the home run, throws too many picks as he's still learn'in.

I can see why Ottawa will be all over Alex Hall, their dline gets no pressure at all, and their DC doesn't know how to dial up a blitz. Hank is Hank but that defence let him down.

Agreed Mark H and what most people fail to realize about Tretsmans offense was that he always had 7 men blocking, that Montreal oline got all the credit but had help too.

The only thing I hate worse than losing is doing nothing about it.

Why not just stay out of it then? Why bash the people who want to state their opinions?

That's pretty much it in a nutshell.
 
I now understand why Walters said there was no quick fix, it's because the system itself is flawed, subbing one undersized player for another will accomplish nothing.

It's only going to get worse if Osh continues to pretend to the press that it doesn't matter. 'Not an issue, handled internally' didn't go over well last time.

I would rather trolls than the patronizing we get from this bunch. Why do I want to be friends with a rider fan?

LOL, never been to a REAL metropolis? Think New York, LA, Houston or for real vastness Mexico City. Thanks for the laugh!

yes, because we've never left Winnipeg...

I must have blocked out last season

Aaron Kelly is no all-star but the guy is an absolute sponge... he catches anything within his radius... how we're not able to utilize this, combined with his size, more often is beyond me...

This is what happens when you neglect your depth at one position and have to play an already injured player. Thankfully they picked up a guy in trade but how did we go over half the season without addressing the depth at this position? Kyle Walters has done some good things, but he has neglected some aspects of his job. The depth we have at DL and receiver in particular is alarmingly bad. 

Something's not adding up.
The Twitter side bar says the Riders have had 5, 100 yard rushing games this year.
3 of those against us, meaning they only managed 2 in the other 7 games?
Sure sounds like a top notch run game to me, only 2 in the other 7 games, are they really that good or are the Bombers just that bad at stopping it, odds say the later.

Kuale makes almost zero positive plays in his position, and continually costs the team with undisciplined play, not just penalties either.  He's pretty much as bad as it gets even before he hands the other team 60 free yards.

Not really, Leggett was making first contact on most running backs as the Bombers continued to empty the middle of the field, even when Sask was in the I formation and everyone knew what was coming, Etch's incredibly stupid alignments cause most if not all the problems.

I only agree on the last call - it was a pretty lame one (he hit the QB after he threw the ball, but it was very close, and they did call a similar one on Sk so they saw each other off). But the other three were uncalled for. In fact, IMO - if you get more than one a game you should be benched. What was terrible IMO is that he was still playing after his FOURTH one. That's on MOS and Etch - and if I were in the locker room I wouldn't ask EJ - I'd ask MOS (as he won't allow his assistants to be interviewed) outright why would he leave a player in the game who continually makes boneheaded decisions and zero big plays.
