Riders’ Charleston Hughes charged with impaired driving
Stickem replied to Deiter Fan's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
One game and a fine to start....apparently the club is investigating and gathering further evidence...Stay tuned there maybe further action...………………….then again -
First Scouting Bureau Rankings for the 2019 CFL Draft
Stickem replied to rebusrankin's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I agree totally with one condition that...(and I know the draft can be a crap shoot), we do a better job of measuring talent....The Ekakitie pic comes to mind and the passing on guys like Kwatu Boateng were a fail on our part...We've done relatively well with the O Line and receiver pics, but we need to up our game with regard to the D Line guys -
Bombers / Riders Pre Game "Discussion"
Stickem replied to TheBandit's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
AND that's the gist of it isn't....If you hold pubic office or you have a profile that is considered larger than the average layman you are held and judged to a higher degree.. Hughes has profile in a community and is supposed to set an example...he failed...The law will consider this and in most cases will come down harder on a person like Hughes...These guys in riderville, who are trying to pass this off as a 'oh so what', are going to be in for a rude awakening...The courts AND the court of public opinion can and most likely will be harsher in Hughes case...The team will have no choice but to follow suit...Things to consider before you get behind the wheel of a car, and by your intoxication turn it into a weapon ...Giant fail by Hughes -
OH...I think the league cares big time.....this is not something you sweep under the carpet...Bad judgement from Hughes is going to cost him

Bombers sign Geoff Gray to a 3 year deal
Stickem replied to bigg jay's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
I'll go for the right word right off the bat....PHENOMINAL ….a huge talent for the O line...Don't know who he pushes out but with the talent and size this guy possesses we have to get him on board somehow...Couture may be the odd man out but that's not a certainty...Have to trust Walters has the plan man -
So have the Argo's

Bombers / Riders Pre Game "Discussion"
Stickem replied to TheBandit's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Yeah it was a great game....too bad you didn't show up...Smoke and mirrors ...smoke and mirrors just caught up with ya bud -
Rider smoke and mirrors all over the place at IGF today....Bombers unmasked that bunch of junk pretenders...Loved every minute of it
-
We shut them out AND shut them up....The riders left here dragging their asses and it was a wonderful sight to see....Guess they thought we were going to forget that little performance by Jefferson the last time we played them....Mike O most likely had that front and centre and you could tell by our intensity to start the game...Laid a good arse whoopin on those yokels in every which way....Riders Cup dreamin just took a serious hit

Bombers / Riders Pre Game "Discussion"
Stickem replied to TheBandit's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Smoke and Mirrors....smoke and mirrors I say...The smoke is emanating from the hot bull$hit some of their fans are spreading around in here....The mirrors are of the rear view kind... with the best showing the city of Regina plainly in it -
Next man up....Huff says 'hey no prob.',,,,Like an old comedian said back in the day....'Hey,,I've got a million of em'...…………………..Huffer is going to have to start digging deep however
-
Dressler pulling up lame at practice today after getting into a tangle......yup the pieces are all starting to fall into place
-
I'd like to hear....'serious talks for Greene OR Jackson about to be culminated'...BUT we've been so damn quiet lately and Walters seems to have disappeared ,that I also won't be that surprised that we pass on addition that'll help down the stretch

Regular Season Bomber News & Discussion
Stickem replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Exactly what I was thinking.....(I hope Matt reads this)...The guy is a walking tower and just waiting for a pass attempt to come his way...We've already been burnt by this guy so Nichols should have a read on him by now...When players go to the well once too often, there's a good chance they'll get 'tricked burnt'... Let him over commit and blow by that sucker...I'd luv to be the one to do it but unfortunately my wheels don't turn no more....I'd love nothing more than to take one by 'too tall Jefferson' and when I got to their goal line ,do a shake and bake shuffle, then drop in for the six -
Watching that obvious bungled spot in front of O'Shea and the restraint he used has gathered a little more respect from me for him as a head coach...IF Mike was a player and the player that he used to be, I think that ref. would have been the next thing to being skinned alive....The old O'Shea was a storming monster for T.O. when he thought his team was...let's say 'put upon'...He was tossed on occasion, as I remember ,and picked up a few roughing calls in his day BUT not the O'Shea of today....I can't explain his demeanour and the change from player to the coach he is now, but last night it served him and the club well for his restraint on dealing with that very bad call...Especially at that point in the game when it could have proven to be very costly ...After saying all of that, I wish I could see the 'old' O'Shea ,at some point in time during the season, I wish he would show a little more emotion and strip the hide off of someone in situations like that...HOWEVER..throwing his hands up in disgust and walking away was the way to go, and probably for the best, as it ended well for us....disaster averted
-
We're getting there....quite a turn around from the first game we played the two colours.....Matt looked to regain some of his confidence level and considering he was playing with a flu like symptom...gotta give him full credit....Bighill came up with the play of the game with that strip on Sinopoli and Dressler was buzzing all over the place and looked like the Dress of old...The offence is finally figuring it out and spreading the ball around to a lot of different receivers..great to see...Adams looked like his old self and I'm really starting to like this Wolitarsky kid in the clutch...The only real concern was the tendency for the D to fade in the late going...I don't know what it is but it seems like the defence has a timer on it and when the bell rings it's time to play silly buggers and go into a funk...That has to end and a full four quarters is going to be needed from here on in…. So bring on the green guys...I think we have a little score to settle and a good arse whoopin is in order
-
You're right Mark about the 'not caring'....When we reach the point of apathy....which seems to be around the corner as a lot of good posters have left....then you know you're in deep doo doo
-
Loyalty programme at it's finest (or at it's worst) don't you know....even though the loyal people you have may be found wanting....This club seems to be blinded with loyalty....but hey..the players like it....I bet Matthews didn't even get a look
-
Nichols was unimpressive last night and the D needs some help down the stretch..I hope he can deliver but we've been saying that for quite awhile now....Matt where are you
-
Where the heck has this D been hiding all year....Great game and the reason we dominated the Esks. right out of their stadium...If we would have played that kind of ball on defence all year we sure as hell wouldn't be scrambling like we are now...Tied with the Esks. and looking very dominate on D....Now if the offence can find itself ….mainly Nichols...maybe we have something going down the stretch....FINALLY we beat a team who are in the top tier in this league...Keep er going guys...………………Note to Mike O....WHEN YOU HAVE THE GAME IN THE BAG ..PLEASE TAKE OUT THE STARTERS WE CONSIDER INVALUABLE...Nonsense to leave them open to injury
-
I agree to a certain extent about the blocking but it can't be the reason on every play....Think about the whole year…..have we had ONE decent return or returner...Not to my recollection...That is a killer right there when the opposition is starting on their 35-40 yd. line and were starting on our 20-25...add to that a bad penalty call for a holding or blocking from the rear and we are really pinned deep...I can't for the life of me see why this coach....a special teams ace in his last job...can't see ..WE NEED A SPECIAL...SPECIFIC RETURNER FOR CRIPES SAKE...O'Shea was quoted as saying, when he came on board, that special teams were going to be our bread and butter and the way to true success for our club...Where the hell is it
-
Where's this new kid Boobie something or other...Apparently he's a burner and a darn good receiver.. Haven't heard a bloody thing about him since we signed him...Taking into account our pathetic return game...why isn't he in instead of a nic'd Fogg...Look for more dismal field position on our returns with our patented 'catch and flop' act...I don't understand why we can't find a way to inject these signed guys into the lineup after they've been here for awhile.. Other clubs can find a prospect and get them into a game pronto...I guess it's the old loyalty act from our not so illustrious head coach...even if the guy who needs to be replaced is entering the game on one leg he trots them out...I hope we can win tonight but hope is fading and with that the prospects for our head coach continuing on here..You'd think he'd be pulling out all the stops...
-
Yeah there is a way....start by returning our cash with interest
-
You gotta get the smoke out of your eyes and lift that melon man....Definitely smoke and mirrors....You don't really believe that riders are that good and it's sustainable down the stretch...IF you do you're dreamin in high definition
