But doesn't that sum up this Rider team in a nutshell - lack of awareness? Many (I won't say all because they do have some quality individuals on that team) simply bask in the echo chamber that they and their fans have created for themselves. They are ego driven. Feel that the league is out to get them. It's an "us against them" mentality and it breeds selfishness.
That's what separates this club from that one.
Under O'Shea, it's never been "us against them" .. it's always been about being accountable, to yourself and your teammates. Execute your assignments. Give what you have to the guys on the field. Be a professional. If you do that, your accolades will come. It breeds selflessness.
Sask is totally a product of their environment...plain and simple...and an environment they curated and uphold....and hence why they a joke....and thats facts

They will never be respectable.
They are a total fail as a franchise.
I’m sure some other DT can get them 1 tackle/game.
just look at ours...Sayles...22 tackles...3 sacks.......Thomas...in a rotation...10 Tackles...1 ST tackle and 3 sacks...Cameron Lawson 8 tackles and 1 sac
(rotational reps) Ricky Walker 6 tackles...1 special team tackle and a sac...in 6 gamesand hmmm...not a fine or suspension between them...great team guys...classy.....11-1 team and class of the league all around.....vs 6-6 team....and a joke on all fronts.....interesting

generally in CFL a DT and or NT will in effect draw 2 guys in blocking....it's just how things are schemed a lot...so saying Marino was very effective is a bit of a stretch...You can get same kind of attention and production from pretty much any interior guy...minus the penalties' and stupidity, and all the distractions that go with it.
Now if he was blowing plays up behind line of scrimmage constantly, pushing lineman into QB..piling up sacks and or tackles....it would be a different story....but he wasnt.
Are they weaker tho due to this...likely, as the team environment there now has a huge dent in it, and other losers there are now gonna play a bit less agressively, for fear of being next....and slap that right on CD for not dealing with all the BS earlier...and by earlier I mean last yr already

It is a start to try and garner some respectability...still a big uphill battle there tho

Highly doubt it was league driven...pretty much certain the league cant...or wont tell you that you have to cut a guy
The Riders are scrambling big time and I think this was the sacrificial lamb to try and create the illusion that they have things under control and are doing things to right the ship..nothing more...and vet contracts being garuanteed...well Marino's likely piddly entry level contract wont impact them as much as the higher paid idiots like ****** William's.. Marshall...Edam...was an attempt to "send a message" as cheaply and as cowardly as possible...but really not changing anything there.

Only two pages so far on riderfans regarding this and its like 80% think its a mistake. Quotes of "the guy is a beast, hell be signing with another team like tonight, the hit on Collaros was nothing/Collaros is a baby, management gave in to peer pressure". F*** me i hate that fan base.
Yeah...clowns...if he such a beast his stats sure dont reflect it...

That 2001 team had a lot of arrogant blowhards playing for them with their heads in the clouds. Dave Ritchie refused to bring them back down to Earth & tell them to shut up. The 2001 Bombers were the same as the Ti Cats in 2019 thinking the Stamps would just lay down & let them win. Well, all that preening, arrogance & trash talk fired up the Stamps who still had a large core of veteran players from the 98 & 99 Grey Cup games who were insulted. We lost that game by Wednesday of Grey Cup week. Everytime I think of that 2001 Grey Cup game, i still get angry. It didn't have to happen!!
The 2022 addition of the Bombers aren't anything like the 2001 team. they atre much more mature. We have a team that has won back to back championships. They approach game preparation totally different. All business. They don'r mouth off. They respect their opponents. If any of today's Bombers acted the way some of the 2001 Bombers did in the media that year, I think Mike O'Shea & veterans like Stanley Bryant, Pat Neufeld, Adam Bighill & Brandon Alexander would put a stop to it. O'Shea's teams aren't bombastic.
yyup...no attitude or arrogance ere....maybe some self criticism and need/desire to get better...be better, and not let your brothers down...this team....well really this organization is wired differently than u usually see...prob wont see other than here...hence the 28-4 record since 2019...2 cups...and a good shot to be in our 3rd straight....It's all about who and what you bring into the building here that sets the tone...took a good 3 years to build it...but since then it's just been getting more solid as we roll along

Yup...regardless of the players involved would be..and should be flagged...the only difference with your scenario is Fajardo would have rolled around and mad eit seem like he was shot....limped away...and then would have whined about it post game

TB is maintaining that this was a football play and legal. He was on about the OPI too earlier. He seems to take the pulse of the forum on any issue and just create cockamamie arguments against the flow of traffic. Must get his kicks from it or something.
same with the phantom WJ rouging the passer

If he wants it...I can see him sliding into a DB coach role here when he decides to hang em up

I wonder if Duke would have become such an epic loser if he had signed elsewhere?....almost thinking probably not....prob just a standard loser

when Jones ****** off and they were forced to take on the lesser Dickenson as their HC, I laughed and laughed and laughed because this is exactly what was going to happen. They wildly overachieved in the first year and then regressed to what they really are. It's highly enjoyable to watch.
yup.....pretty much....and yup....been soooo entertaining

Missing BA in the field is huge.
People forget how good he is.
and how he gets guys lined up right...makes sure they know assignment....we are missing that big time....plus his presence out there is also in back of the minds of receiver's....there hasn't been as much trepidation going through the middle like yrs past...but it's coming

I don't think he ever had it. The behavior has been the same through his time there - he's never been able to control his players.
yup....and when u bring in idiots....who are self proclaimed "leaders"...well u get what we see
4 minutes ago, GCn20 said:I agree....but at least he was able to get them to play good football. Good enough to win more than they lost anyway. Now they are just in a complete meltdown.
I still think they won more than they should of due to smoke and mirrors....fluke luck, and some favorable things that always seemed to flop in their laps...

“Ugh guys I’m worried, I allow them to be racist, spit on people, swing helmets at opponents, keep their spot in the starting lineup for months no matter how many penalties they take, refuse to take post-game drug tests, pass out in their cars on Ring Road and cry about fans being mean to them on social media but I feel like they won’t think I have their backs unless I waste my challenge flag!”
but gosh they played hard
5 minutes ago, GCn20 said:I don't understand at all why he would ever admit to that publically. Just makes him look stupid. It's one thing to do it in the heat of the moment, but certainly after the way the game played out he must have realized it was a really stupid move. But hey, let's tell the world how dumb I am.
Clearly this is a coach who very tangibly feels the fact that he is losing the room.
did he ever have it?....and just looking at him on sidelines he just looks totally stunned

I've been saying for at least the last 8 games that if we are within 3 at half-time, we are going to win. Montreal game was weird for so many reasons (7-7 at half-time).
I honestly haven't thought that the Bombers were going to lose a game all year after the opening kickoff.
I'll admit to being a little stressed at times...
yeah the Mtl game was an odd one...burn out ans nagging nicks did us in I think.....and even then....if Leggs hits that totally makeable FG we still would have won....but looking back glad we lost that one, as going deep into the season undefeated may have influenced us to do things and play guys where it may have bit us in ass with a bad injury to the wrong guy

He said on the post game show that he knew he was going to lose that challenge. But threw it anyway because he wanted to show support to Evans....lol
yeah...what a bloody moron....how is that support....it's if anything just enabling your whiners to keep whining, instead of putting nose to grindstone and be better for your team

yeah they have several guys on their roster who are way better, and their development was being stagnated having that putz around....the Rider's were trying to cultivate this bad boy image, a team who plays on the edge, and it bit them right in the ass....2.5 yrs now with this experiment and they finally maybe just seeing the problem with it
