Last drive by the Als started with poor kick off coverage once again
Yep. They need to tighten this up pdq.

1. Collaros - Give him time and he'll kill you.
2. Lawler - 200 Yards, say no more.
3. Bighill - All over the field & he didn't deserve the penalty he took.
HH: Burtenshaw - Love to see the big guy returning kicks
Biggie felt that too. I’m pretty sure it was the very next play where he blitzed and it looked like he was out for blood.

If the Bombers consistently get pressure with their front four, this game will be sewn up quickly. I don't see VAj being able to pick apart the Bombers on the run.

Two words I don't want to here this week "walking boot"
Grant’s going to break so many ankles during the GC that the Argos are going to have guys leaving in a walking boot.

There isn’t anyone on the panel or broadcast that I can’t stand (unless Suitor is being a huge homer) but I’d like to see a lineman given a chance on the broadcast. I’d appreciate the added perspective.
Dustin Nielson has been a nice recentish addition and Rod Smith is my favourite. I wish there were two of him so he could be on the broadcast and host the panel.

Absolute clown of a colour commentator. Did he also say something along the lines of "the good guys" tonight when the Ti-Cats made a big play...?
I remember the term “points for the good guys” when Hamilton was in the red zone, but I’m pretty sure it was the guy from the Arkells that said it

From what I'm reading on social media, many Ti Cat fans are viewing that kneel kinda like the Riders' 13th man. They're in disbelief.
I can at least understand that there might be a tiny bit of strategy behind that decision. I can’t believe that unnecessary roughness penalty. Absolutely moronic play

As opposed to throwing beer cans at players at Grey Cup games, snowballs at opposing team benches at countless playoff games, jumping on the field and attacking opposing players, trying to tear down a broadcast tent on the field, getting in fights with police officers in the stands…..
We have good fans overall, but let’s not get all self-righteous and pretend that we don’t have a small bad element as well that has historically done some stupid juvenile stuff, just like every fan base does.
That was a low point. Who was that Lion, Carl Kidd?

I think the Riders have a talented team but in the playoffs it comes down to whats in the players heart and in between their ears. Watching morons like Fajardo, Shaq Evans, Nick Marshall, and Ed Gainey lose composure on a regular basis I would say we have a massive advantage in that department. I mean really...Shaq Evans quit on his QB on Sunday...literally...Nick Marshall with a 15 yard roughing penalty has become a weekly occurrence, Fajardo playing inconsistently from series to series, and Ed Gainey getting beat on a deep ball or two....these are weekly occurrences in Riderland this year and they occurred yesterday too. Do that against the Bombers and it will be a blowout. If Mitchell could hit the side of a barn this year the Riders would have gotten pasted yesterday.
I’ve got a good amount of confidence in the Bombers this week, but there’s always a little doubt/what if thought in the back of my mind that others have mentioned.
That said, the one thing I have confidence in is that Ed Gainey is going to take a moronic penalty or get badly beaten on a terrible read.

Now if Mullinder wanted to make a case for why the Riders will win, fine but the favourite is either crazy talk or pure homerism.
Seems like he’s confusing “the team most likely to win” with “team I like best” when defining favourite.

got a pair of tickets for dirt cheap. mostly for a social thing. its cold and a meaningless game but going with a friend.
I’m in a similar situation. I’ve sat through so many **** weather games at McMahon that I basically expect it when the Bombers come to town. At any rate, it’ll be nice to see the team live and relive some memories from the Grey Cup. Maybe see some of you guys there. Go Blue!

I’m so ready to see Willie, Jackson and the rest of the boys tear through the Riders line like Kleenex!

I hope the kickers used this week to give MOS a reason to trust them. I can understand some of the reasoning behind not trying FGs in week one, but they need to fix this going forward.

it hit me when I went to the grey cup in 2019 ... it’s easier just to be a fan of the moments and enjoy the team than worry about “well we were fourth place and made a late season surge do you really think we’re a prominent force to be reckoned with or do you think my insufferable opinion about our backup qb being unprepared for battle should go unquestioned”
I drank from the Grey Cup after Andrew Harris handed it to me at a bar in downtown Calgary, surrounded by my closest friends. They could come in last place this year I really don’t care. I enjoyed it. That’s what it’s all about.
Agreed. The Cup win took a lot of the pressure off for me. During previous seasons I'd get so wrapped up in the negatives and fall into a "here we go again" mentality due so so many season of getting kicked around and being the butt of the joke from other CFL fans. Having two of the best experiences I've ever had at McMahon (previous to last season watching a drunk Stamps get his head caught under the bleachers was the top) has caused me to go into this season looking for the enjoyable moments from the Bombers. It's amazing what the Bombers breaking their drought has done for me. I can't wait to see the boys out on the field again.

Montreal - Ed Philion for more dirty late hits than I can count. The blind side to Khari after an interception where he wasn't even a part of the play was the worst of all. The racist stuff with Westwood was a bad look too, if you accept Troy's version of events.
When I saw the title of the thread this was the image that immediately popped into my head. Philion is a huge jerk.

I'm monitoring SeatGeek, StubHub, and GameTime. The first two are selling high corners for around $200 and GT has nothing. I guess I'll have to check out Facebook marketplace...man, I hate going on there.

I have a copy of Bombers Blitz too. That tape is barely holding together after years of rewatching.
My favourite win was the 1998 (not yet named) Banjo Bowl. There was such a feeling of emotion/relief being let loose by everyone in the stadium after finally getting a win. Fans rushed the field after the game and everyone was just so...happy. Troy Kopp was a god for a short time afterwards.
The lost GCs during the 2000s hurt, but the loss that sticks out the most for me wast the 2012 Labour Day game. I was watching with three Riders fans and the trash talk went from fun back and forth, to crowing, to sympathetic, to silence. That sucked. I really hated the Bombers that day.

It’s bad enough watching the Bombers play like dogshit, I don’t need the announce crew fellating them the whole time.
