Holm again totally lost on the mcinnis catch

Sask offence is so pop gun...funny 

Yeah...totally holding..

And not even sure why they even started Clark for this game either...so dumb..but guess that's what u do when desperate and u have no legit ol guys..mind u he was hardly legit anyway

Yeah..that was funny...I cant see a team other than them where he would start

Holm shouldn't be out there in my opinion..hes a waif...onnthat second and 10 they converted before the parker interception he totally was in no mans land with no clue...man we need Houston and or Taylor back...or one them new guys to step up

Td in our first possession here...and its lights out for the Riders....quite possibly their season too

Imagine going all in on Fajardo

No....just no haha

We needed that score tho...we.were letting them hang around too long

Man...Fajardo is just....bad...Sanchez nailed it in the intermission

BOLO has clutch reciever in the making all over him...as well as once he really gets his feet big play ability too

Yup...u cant complain about a packed stadium...and it's not cuz the rider fan base was the reason...prob maybe be a few hundred there that travelled...if that

This game means almost nothing in the grand scheme of things. BC's remaining games are all very winnable for them, so all we really need to do is win one of the back to back against them to clinch first place. Winning the next two doesn't change that one way or another. If the team has done the math themselves, I can see them letting their foot off the gas a bit vs. a team that is desperate to even make the playoffs in the Riders.

That said, I will be there tonight and I don't want my son to see the "after a loss to the Riders" version of me, so I hope we destroy them.

the 2 against us and their 1 against T.O are just as winnable for us and T.O...Probably moreso with Adams looking rather blahhh there, and now Burnham out again...I could see BC maybe winning 2 out of their last 5....Ottawa for sure...possibly Edmonton...but cagey ol Jones may just surprise BC...eventually they gonna win at home

Standings be damned games against the Criders always matter. Beating them feels better than any other win that isn’t a playoff win and losing hurts more than any loss that isn’t a GC loss. 
 

 

if we went 3 and 15...with all the wins against the Riders...I'd be okay with that hahaha

if we slap em around today and serve em up a loss....their spirits will continue to spiral, and they go into the Hammer as they wait on a bye, and that is the key game...if the Hammer wins, then a good chance its see yeah in 2023 time for those sad sacks

have no concerns with our offence....putting up 30+ shouldn't be an issue....wasnt an issue last week....hoping the defense comes out angry and with a purpose...they do...and we play clean in all 3 phases...its a walk in the park

As in winning just 3 or 4 games & hopelessly out of the playoffs. 

Gotcha...always next yr lol

Nick Marshall is such a huge negative influence on the Riders defense. As far as gainey acting more like a pro, he'd look even more stupid with the act he had as a Rider on such a **** Elks team. Losing weak after weak must be humbling Gainey. I'd love to see Marshall go through it.

He is lol

The last word on Drew was that he wasn’t returning to the CFL this season while he waits for another NFL opportunity.

As per Naylor...that could be all assumed..who knows

Nobody said Osh is a bad coach..or the team is collapsing 

But no coach is perfect and they all have bad points...ours is at times...key words here..at times roster management 

Hats off to the team for assembling the depth they have to sustain us in a yr where we have had a lot of key injuries...point I trying to make is that as it got depleted they sat back a bit too long restocking it...and its obvious last 2 games with lack of reciever depth and dline and db depth...And without immediate influx...or return of injured guys we could be in tough.

Heck we have had all yr to solve the WIL spot and have yet to adequately fill that...why? 

I have faith in the leaders here but sometimes your faith gets tested...

Sure it’s fair to question. But some of the rhetoric like “weak sauce”, “total joke”, “garbage”, “putrid”, “porous”, “piss poor” and “inexcusable” seems a little over the top after one lopsided loss, given the overall success of the team. 

many posters myself included have said this stuff about what you mentioned for some time now....even last yr....its not just after this one loss....and if u can't see how poorly the roster has been structured at times..and the waste of roster space for 3...4 guys to just stand there all game then you aint looking

absolutely this. You can talk about 12-2 all you want, but if you don't see problems with our roster/depth chart right now, then you're not paying attention

EXACTLY.....Its safe to say we are rather lucky to be 12-2 and to be honest...we were a better team 6 weeks ago than we are right now.....no ifs ands or buts about it....and i see no issue questioning management's and the coaching staffs casual at best attitude toward fixing/helping it, coupled with odd roster decisions to have guys dressed...but refuse to use them.....I see other teams bringing in guys, making some deals....and we are hemorrhaging depth right now and it's ho hum...guys in house are all starters, that why they here, but don't get a chance to show it.

Perhaps they are being very coy, and guys like Wilson....Houston...Taylor...Hansen are gonna be back before play-offs, along with Ellingson..Agudosi...Woli so thats why the casual attitude...I dunno, but it is perplexing to say the least...what we have starting tomorrow won't take us deep into play-offs...no way no how

Not too concerned about Jeffcoat tho...from what I seen of him yesterday...moving and frolicking around he looked totally fine...maybe they just see this game as a chance to let him heal right up, and if it was a playoff game he would be dressing.

 

piss poor PR and game day roster management this yr...inexcusable too

Little worried about not dressing an extra DL for this game. Our guys have to go an extra 10-15 yards deep every play to find Fajardo spinning around heading backwards every play. Our guys might get winded from having to go back all the extra yardage he surrenders before being sacked. 

yup...we excelled on the dline when we had a rotation of the Jeffs and Kongbo and Hansen rotating in with 4 other dlineman.....tis yr we had some injures with Jeffcoat but had at least WJ and Wiccotts and Mack...then Hansen rolling in....we dumped mack...lost Hansen and stopped dressing Wicotts...and ever since havnt been that good....wtf is the reason?

Not so worried about the DBs there’s no one else really.

But look at how thin our O is…if we’re going to dress guys just to chase kicks maybe one of them can be a receiver?

and the DB thing...several guys got dumped and then picked up by other teams this yr...we sat on our hands..and as DB's dropped did nothing really until too late..so yeah we have Holm and Parker in there by default...and they make us weaker by a long shot....whats Waters been doing?...and it aint cause we in SMS hell...we had several bigger slararied guys 6 gamed this yr...dont get it

then we do bring some guys in...a couple we roster right away...and dont touch the field...

We are 12-2. If we win the Grey Cup we will be the most successful franchise since the early 80's. I would suspect that our management, and coaches would try for continuity in that event. Why would we be looking at big changes with a three-peat in our pocket? Our team got cocky last week, and took the week off, let's hold off on the doom and gloom. We are by far the best team in this league.

OH I agree...in record and fact bar none we are the top team...thats undisputed, and that loss on the defensive side of the ball was a big brain fart and a combination of things...the cocky and riding on laurels part is correctable, and I am sure addressed...but...big but that hasnt been addressed or fixed... the poor roster management...lack of depth in some key areas....for a while now actually forcing us to start 2 guys in secondary that should have no reason to be there whatsoever, the lack of rotational depth on the dline...which was our bread and butter when we rotated 8 guys, and many sets with 4 true d-ends which totally effed us vs Hamilton....and the fact we roster guys as DI's who don't see the field save for ST play is not a good thing...and has left us quite vulnerable and exploitable....and been exploited.....if u have no faith to use them on defense...or never planned to...then why even dress them?....makes no sense....yeah I get the nice guy thing...high character FIFO..whatever u wanna term it schtick...but if that prevents you from rostering guys who can actually play a role on defence/offence, or they are playing in place of more talented guys...then thats just garbage...

good example in this game coming up...if Willie goes down...or Wilcotts....we screwed...same with say Sayles...or Jake.....then we have all our dlineman basically playing every snap...again...and or a guy out of position...

Only grant as a back up wr, no real back up de, and still no one to play nose. It’s a good thing Hickson is out. He could’ve racked up stupid yards vs us. 
 

we did use couture at tackle in heavy set and Dobson inside which is some thing. But yeah. Have to think they are really easing couture back into action maybe hoping he will be good to go for the play offs. 
 

this roster has a lot of holes on d. It’s sad that we haven’t managed to fill de nt or wil spots all year. 
I’m worried about our front 6 in this one. 

I'm concerned about or front as well...and 2/5ths of the secondary....and the fact ne real viable/legit backup really at any posotion on defence...baffling.....thank god it's against the train wreck Riders, or this could be a putrid game ..again..........and even against the Riders I dont have a good feeling....thankfully the offence is basically intact save for Ellingson..who hasn't played in a while anyway and we done well....gonna prob need to put up at least 30+ points to have a shot at winning with what we trotting out on defense....not sure what Osh and the gang are doing on that side of the ball, but not impressed or happy in the least bit....and I recall when he took off the extra d-ends...cause he said "they were gonna try something different"...well we have basically been pourus since that...so time to snap back to reality and what worked

The consensus on Riderfans....is that Adams is garbage.
Which of course, means that he might be useful.....

I recall last yr them singing his praises on occasion....so tae all with grain of salt

I do tho think he needs to be more disciplined in his play....not penalty and ****** baggery wise...but assignment and techwise...tho that could also improve with better coaching and scheme...and all around environment, as it is light years advanced here....once he up to speed on our system he likely slots in as a rotational guy, like we have done for last few yrs here...and I good with that

Lol that some Riderfan comes on here and tries to tell the one MBB member who's actually been in a Bombers camp about the game.....awesome. 

oh thats a Rider fan?...hahaha....

we really dropped the ball with or PR and who/what we had on it...even when early in season some DB's got let go by their teams in the CFL we didnt pick one up....who already had CFL experience and was game ready....we only started when we got hit with injuries...and by that time we were kinda hooped...same can be said D-line wise too...we let Mack go for whatever reason, and actually stopped dressing that extra DE even after Hansen went down...and it bit us in the ass in Ham game...and could again, as we are woefully weak depth wise now...especially when we sign and dress guys who see no reps whatsoever...(hello Cole...Cooper...Hassell...even Ford who has experince in Canadian game, then guys like Harrison..Dobson last game on the offensive side)
