Only because I think this is a good topic to discuss, I will make it easy for you. imo the only significant injury that has cost us has been at long snapper. Zach Anderson, Nic Moore, and Jason Vega. and....how exactly do we know that? Have their replacements made mistakes that lead directly to losses. Are you suggesting no top receiver in the lineup hasn't directly contributed to our losses? Key word being contributed. I said this, The injury excuse just avoids the question, it doesn't answer it, it's either yes or no, then you can go into the reasons why. I don't buy the injury excuse either but because it's past noon now, I'm not really understanding exactly what you're saying with this line. Are you just challenging people to be more specific? Not having a healthy Nic Moore in the lineup has directly contributed to us losing games. Why? Because his replacement hasn't matched his level of productivity (see stat sheets). That's not an excuse, that's just a fact. However, that's on us though of not having the necessary depth to maintain his level of productivity necessary to help us win. As I've said before, lately Calgary is a good example of showing some success in this area. All you're doing is projecting though. Last game we almost doubled Hamilton in offensive output but still lost. We lost because of a blocked punt leading to a TD and bad penalty at the end of the game, not because Nic Moore wasn't in the lineup. Hmmm okay, yes I'm projecting however I am using his previous game productivity to suggest without that in the lineup helps decrease our chances for success. Not to make anyone's head spin, one could suggest you also are projecting about reasons for our loss. We have no idea what would have happened if our punt wasn't blocked. There are so many different scenarios, some good, some bad. As for the penalty, completely out of our control.

Yes.

Watching Romby Bryant use his speed to go to wrong area of the field is frustrating. When this happens, speed is useless.

i wouldn't call it that, his injury was a little more serious than what Lumsden hadI'm sensing Jesse Lumen 2.0 you're absolutely right, it was more of a reference in staying healthy

Sorry but no, White is not a freak, give credit where credit is do. Their oline and blocking schemes deserve the lion's share of credit. Because tv doesn't show what all is going on, I'm hoping White, on top of his strong man poses, was appreciative of the gaping holes he received all night and plans to provide some Alberta beef to his hogs.

I'm sensing Jesse Lumen 2.0

For the love of goodness, he needs to last the whole game AND be ready Sears that is.

This is really the thing for me.....we've had some of the league's all-time worst teams over the last decade, and the fans STILL sell the place out. The Riders would be lucky to get 20k with those teams. The difference between Bombers fans and Riders fans, is we have more "die hards", but less "casuals". The Riders have WAY MORE casual fans than any other franchise and maybe even more than some NHL franchises in Canada. They're the ones who buy the merch because it's "cool" to do so right now. They badly need another extended run of Al Ford years to thin out their ranks a little and shut them up but good... Regardless of era, the way I look at it is SOME Rider fans believe that they are more diehard to their team than any other fan of another team. They are incorrect. Some Bomber posters here live and breathe the Bombers equally as much as diehard Sask fans. It's that simple.

Adarius Bowman is a like a good golfer. He has all the skiils needed to be great, but can't consistently get them all working together.

He'd look good in blue and gold though especially this year.

listen, in terms of the crop of gb's availlable, especially at the back-up position, Tate probably leads at the best option any team has this season to have available from the bullpen, crapper today or not. For example, I'm thinking I'm not taking Brohm over Tate. But hey, Tate doesn't play for us so the more he caps the better.

In my opinion, his facemaking penalty was worthy of an ejection.

Glencross is from Kindersley. Do I cheer for Calgary? No, I hate them. born in Kindersley maybe but he always said he was from Red Deer, plus he was an Oiler before he was a Flame so I don't know what that has to do with anything. Fact is there are a lot of gappers who love Eberle and the Oilers because of it. I understand when you say you're a penguins fan, tons of kids are because Crosby, but the Oilers have sucked for a long time it's puzzling when kids pick them up unless there's some other connection. With some, maybe because of their parents i.e., Gretzky, Messier, Coffey, Fuhr et al era

Has nothing to do with concussions, things just accumulated is what Cornish is saying to the media.

I voted. Tom Clements, hands down!

I can't remember what game it was or even the team (maybe Calgary), but I remember Suitor pointing out on a couple of occasions the offense lined everyone up as a receiver, no emptying the backfield, just all at receiver to begin the play. It would be interesting to see the Bombers try this (maybe keep Fitzgerald back for pass protection). Especially with Brohm trying to gain some confidence other than handing off to Grigsby. Unless of course the Bombers have done this and I haven't noticed.

TSN3 will be available in Alberta, but the Jets games on it will be blacked out. Why on earth would they black out Jet games in Alberta? That would be like blacking out the Bomber games in Alberta. I do know the answer though that I don't like. It's because it's not our 'home' team. They want us to follow the Flames and the Oilers. I told them my 'home' team is actually the Jets, I just happen to live in Alberta.

Wonder what that's all about? Gotta love these trades between the same owner, can basically formulate any rumor you want to justify bolstering the weak sister. Complete crock of **** if you ask me and should be rule against this sort of collusion and clear conflict of interest. Does David Braley have to give his blessings for trades to happen? If the organizations are run correctly, my guess is no, therefore no conflict. Not to mention the fact we're a nine team league. BC and Toronto have to have the option of dealing with one another.

If you look at the last three games: 1. The Riders are a team that matches up well against the Bombers. In particular, their Offense is well designed to take what a Defense like ours gives them. However, a few less mistakes in those Rider games, and we win in spite of their advantages. 2. Against B.C., the shallow depth of this team was exposed. It was clearly shown that the Bombers can't compete very well with so many starters in the sick bay. But the game was close and our boys were fighting a good fight until Willy went down. IMO, with fewer errors and turnovers they would have 2 wins against the Riders. Mistake free football is what it will take to win one or two games without Willy. But if we keep snapping over the punter's head, fumbling at critical times, costly drops from receivers, giving up long kick returns etc. etc. etc. we'll be hard pressed to win even with Willy behind centre. Will they get some of the other starters back? Can they limit mistakes in spite of playing with a depleted line up? Just my 0.02 I'd add the mistake of receivers NOT fighting to get open will continue to spell disaster.

I think it was more of a shared responsibility on that one.
