“See you at ‘The Wave’!” 😂

I’d offer up the same sentiment for the LaPo bashers. Both used their skill sets to drag us out of the 2013 doldrums and helped us achieve our first Grey Cup in 29 years. That alone should earn them both a lifetime pass on these boards.

Ok, I would phrase it differently than “garbage time” but I agree with the idea that the Riders took their foot off the gas. But when he returned in the 4th BC was turning the tide, and he hung in there. Bad last pass though. Definite deer in headlights jitters in the first half but I think he overcame them. There is something to work with in my mind with this guy. I do wonder about Bo’s health as it has been sketchy for a while, and the club is always tight lipped about his ailments or surgeries, so it is my qualifier about him on the downslope, but if he is healthy he is nowhere near twilight. I could see a Ricky Ray type backslide with the new personnel, but if he ever became trade bait a smart team would grab him in a heartbeat. He has more Grey Cups in him I would wager. LaPo could easily be the fall guy, but I think he gets the full year at least. If they swoon this season then he gets maybe 6 games next year to improve or be gone.

Too soon to say if Rourke is for real, but he hardly played in garbage time. Some promise there, but once teams have film on him then we will have a better picture of his talent. Nichols will be rostered for the indefinite future, even if he slips into back-up mode. The real question is will he be benched for ineffectiveness if his shoulder gets no better but no worse, or does he need to aggregate the injury to be pulled? LaPo is not going anywhere this year. The club will re-assess at year’s end, and I think management understands the low expectations of this rebuilding season. BLM is 31 and has the highest winning percentage of any QB in CFL history. The team won 12 games last year. Unless you know something about his past injuries still being an issue, to suggest that he is close to being done is nonsense.

Double vaxxed full house Eleven Cups, one banner? Cats - perfect year? Not! Riders come out hot Coach says Reilly will not play But then he does? Dumb! The acronym bowl MBT and BLM Stamps’ gaffes costlier Nichols’ arm looks shot Harris loves stats, but not wins Ott. first. WTF?

Welcome. Be patient with the Rider jabs, it’s not a personal thing, just the nature of the board at times. Your team and your fans will not get many positive strokes here, but our fans love a good rivalry and good football talk. Looking forward to another spirited battle between the best 2 fanbases in the league. Riders looked pretty dialled in for at least the first 30 minutes against the Leos, and if their o-line holds up we should see some solid results from them as they battle Winnipeg and likely Calgary for top in the West.

Well, I didn’t want to say that…..too loudly.

Aww, and just when I was starting to have some fun. 🤣 Wanted to hear what other jobs he had.

FSU national championship coach. As a coach with West Virginia, helped save their rival Marshall’s football program after a place crash wiped out the team by sharing his team’s playbook with the new coaching staff. Took a number of fishing trips to Northern Manitoba https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/08/sport/bobby-bowden-death/index.html

I’ll add that to the list. - Free streaming via network hacking - Undercover COVID lab tech - Long time Ebola scientist - Linked in with US broadcasters - On top of computer graphics - Family to HNIC staffers - Superior knowledge of US economy - Host of Bomber team parties - Immune or anti-masker - Trusted with neighbour’s injury status

Let’s hope there is more controlled rollouts and less of the crazy scrambling. Nice weapon to have, but not make it a regular feature of the game. And yes, Nichols looks done. Pre-injury 2019 Nichols could have won the game against the Ticats IMO, but the current version would not have fared well at all.

And throwing those short passes to the middle of the field not allowing for a chance to get out of bounds to stop the clock (except once and that was Wilder’s hustle more than the location of the pass).

The funniest thing to me is that “Will they go 14-0” Hamilton is in last place in the CFL standings right now.

Another classic Trevor Harris game. 33 completions, well over 300 yards passing, 75%completion rate, and in the end a loss on the ledger.

As do you apparently. For those scoring at home, in 12 hours we have learned from his own posts on various topics that Polar Bear: 1. Knows how to hack into live feeds of American networks to get free streaming of sports programming 2. Is a 20 year vet of Ebola and SARS research in a virology lab 3. Is connected to many major US broadcasters and therefore has insider rankings of most of not all sports play by play guys and their reputations within the industry 4. Has relatives at HNIC and therefore has access to management hiring memos 5. Spent time in New York in a top secret COVID lab under government control operating under a cone of silence unable to share his findings with the public 6. Is ostensibly a computer graphics specialist who knows how to debug in game productions 7. Has a trusted working relationship with a number of the Blue Bomber players and has the inside track on the injury situation with the club and because of his concern about the amount of arguing on a fan site, I can only assume - 8. Is an ebony pot having a conversation with a kettle

Wilder still cheating on the jersey. Refs should flag him or send him off. May seem small but harder to grab skin than a jersey. Rob Ray knows that.

Was going to say “isn’t that a uniform violation”? Looks like the refs gave him a warning and he has corrected it.

If you are confident in your D it shouldn’t matter if the other teams starts on their 15 or their 35 with 3 more points on the board.

The 51 yarder was iffy but if your kicker is less than 50% from that distance then maybe you need another kicker. We are going to need those made at some point this year. We also opted to punt instead of try a 45 yarder and a 48 yarder. Either you don’t trust your kicker or you don’t trust your cover team, either scenario is not good.

Re-submitted with the full video. Tried the video editor for the last 3 seconds only. Epic fail. For my next trick, watch me set the clock on the VCR.

Jump to the 19 second mark.

Some of us were born at night, but it wasn’t last night. Try again. 🤣

You bet Sask to cover the 6 point spread and the under, didn’t you? No roster tricks, Reilly was dressed and on the field, which meant he could go in at any time.

Given the forced global player mandate, the Theadric Hansen find by Walters and co. looks more and more brilliant every single day.
