White Out

He was heavily disliked as the OC, so I'm not surprised.

This is a good post and it gave me pause to consider my own posts and my own attitude towards the Bombers right now. I want them to win. I want them to win for my Dad, my Brother, my now 3 month old. I want to have fun watching this team again. This organization, however, has beaten me down so badly the last quarter century (jesus... century) that my patience level is razor thin. I'm insanely bitter with my favourite sports team (Jets are a tie). It doesn't feel good to be bitter about a team that you grew up loving and have so many fond memories of. Unlike years and years ago I don't have much reason to believe that we're going to get any better anytime soon either. The educated football fan in me, after watching the CFL for 30 ish years now, tells me this team is likely another sub 500 team. The question left is are we a dumpster fire or just a bad team? I want this club to prove me wrong and I'll happily eat crow. I really want that.

Column A, and B. The fans in Calgary basically dont give a crap about the team, and ya, def a bit of envy with how well run they are compared to our trash show

I think Calgary actually may finally be on a downward trend. Which is due. So sick of the Stamps.

That's the kind of pie in the sky optimism from him that makes it really hard for me to take him seriously. We're something around 1-14 in Calgary last 15 years or so and he belts out "HEY WE JUST WON THERE" le sigh.

i detect a little bit of bitterness coming from one of our sites biggest Willy cheerleaders.

Welcome to sports Internet forums. There's always more to talk about and higher emotions after losses. That's the case from riderfans.com to Calgary puck to hf boards.

I think you post this crap at least once per season. It's old, garbage, and adds nothing to the conversation.

Some comeback. I've rarely been wrong about my predictions, especially when it comes to our football team.

A lot of fans needed time to come around on Ondrej Pavelec. They said I was a hater on HF, that I didn't know hockey and that I was being bitter with one person. Well fast forward 3 years and virtually everyone is on the same page. Willys supporters will need time too. Big difference though is I find Drew an amicable, likable guy. If Drew started winning I'd be a huge fan of course. The thing that drives me the most crazy about being a fan online is some people view any criticism, no matter how on point it is, to be a "lesser fan". The cheerleaders don't seem to understand that you can think a player or team stinks but still love the logo and team and want better results.

I may go if my buddy gives me a free ticket. I stopped spending money on the Bombers in Alberta years ago.

I stand by that. Montreal beat us. We're probably in the toilet with them.

Didn't someone here post about how Harris is no better than Willy? ooops lol! Nice call. hahahahahahahaha

Our next 5 games: 2 vs Edmonton 2 vs Calgary Hamilton This team is likely going 1-5, maybe 0-6. MOS wont survive it. Then, weeee. Another kick at a can of a new coach and system and we can look forward to another rebuild in a 9 team league. I swear to god.

ah yes, the good old argument of "hey we just know better" if you watched that game, and, all of drew willys games since he became a starter for us, and you think the big issue is the O line... good luck. drew willy isnt good enough or smart enough. the pressure he endures is a product of a combination of a troubled O line, and more importantly, his own inability to make quick reads i feel like one would have to watch the games with their eyes closed to not see his panic on a nearly down by down basis. btw how was Harris behind that horrible O line tonight? surely he did terrible?

Garbage offense. Defense looked .. ok. Nothing terrible. If the Bombers actually gave them a little more time off the field perhaps they'd look even better. 22 points in the CFL when your offence is never on the field is actually not bad.

amazing kick by Medlock

Can Willy learn how to read a ******* blitz when it's coming a mile away?

Of course he is. Our D has been all over him but he's managed to put together some semblance of a ******* offense

What lame excuse making. The O line is getting their ass kicked because the team knows they can blitz with impunity every play because our QB needs 8 seconds to throw the ball, and our OC refuses to try and coach that out of him

Willy is a disaster so far

Wow. Will our vaunted offense even score a point in the 1st half? Stay tuned.

want to make it an avatar bet? Riders finish ahead of Montreal Loser of said bet wears the avatar of choice by winner for a week

Want to make a bet on who finishes with a worse record, SSK vs Monteal?
