paging @Mr. Perfect for comment...

I know you like to **** on the Riders... and I find it mostly enjoyable and entertaining... but they have some decent players... Hickson is a player... Shaffer-Baker, Moore, and Evans are all good (problem is the guy throwing the ball)... and Leonard and Robertson are a good rush end tandem... I agree that this Riders team is nowhere near good enough to beat the Bombers or cause any damage in the playoffs... but they have about half a good roster

I think @CodyT's comment was more about how the fans feel about him... not how he feels about his "position" with the fans

on top of that, who wants/needs him... I can pretty much guarantee none of Wpg/Cgy/BC have an interest... Edm probably does 😂... Maybe one of the teams out east trying to make a push like Ott or Ham...

BA at WIL is an interesting concept... my guess based on the team's previous decisions is that he probably won't play there... but I wouldn't hate to see it Not sure how accurate the measurables are on the Bombers website but BA is listed at 180... Meanwhile, Wilson is 221, Clements is 224, Briggs is 207 and Cole is 210... BA certainly plays bigger than 180 but I wonder if he's big enough to handle the run stopping duties of that position...

Are you already forgetting the 2019 Grey Cup... 😏

I guess no one told Mullinder he's allowed to tweet about football AND other tragedy's going on in the world... wild concept

that was the joke...

You've got one massive MFer in the middle that looked good... I think #94... he completely stuffed Oliveria on one play for no gain... get that dude more snaps!

our most what?.... ....

I'm just glad they got rid of him before he has two more chances to take out Collaros... I'm fairly positive no one wants that POS on their team

this... ...and this... The thing that blows my mind about the Riders insistence on keeping him around... Marion IS NOT EVEN THAT GOOD.... When the player is exceptional... you learn to live with some of the bad because of the good (see: Lawrence, Simoni).... but when a guy does more bad than good... I don't understand how you keep him on your roster

Based on his name alone... how is it possible LB Mack is not a middle linebacker??

doubt it... he can't be neg listed anymore so he'd be a complete free agent if he decided to come back.

lol... my first thought was what kind of ******* cheers for someone getting sick... then I realized... he tested positive... something finally positive 😂

This doesn't make any sense... when Couture is back, he's playing centre... having him back will help both guards.

just had to make a quick correction there for you 😏

I don't know much about Robert Salah but he comes across similar to Mike O'Shea... more of a leader/general and culture builder type coach than X's and O's... defensive guys so rarely get HC gigs in the NFL now you kind of have to bring that type of leadership... like Belichick, Tomlin, or John Harbaugh. I read somewhere there is a shortage of quality O-lineman in the NFL right now... I would expect Desjarlais to stick around the NFL in some capacity for a couple years

I don't understand why people who think a passionate owner is a bad thing... He wasn't around long enough to make any difference but I liked where he was going... Also really like the guy out in BC... the CFL needs more owners like that and less MLSEs

Here's the funny thing... and everyone here knows it... if the roles were reversed, you would not be arguing this to death... you would say one call doesn't change the game and the Bombers didn't do enough to win... When the bombers win it's just non-stop "yeah but" ... and when they lose, the other team was better and anything else is just an excuse

That might be a stretch… they still have the tie breaker on the riders… even if BC loses out (doubtful) they finish at 8-10 which might be enough to beat out the riders… it’s also possible the final two games against the bombers mean nothing for the bombers and everything for the lions

The goal line ref actually did signal TD... probably just covering in case there was scenario where that was allowed to play out.

I really think the difference is the mentality with this Bombers regime... it used to be that this game was "special"... and for whatever reason that always made the riders get up for it and the Bombers maybe tense up or just not show up (looking at you 2012 Time Burke-lead debacle)... this new regime doesn't care who we're playing, where the game is, or the significance of the game... it's prepare, do the work, go 1-0... every week... and that mentality is passed down to the players... this isn't some big rivalry game for the Bombers anymore... it's just another week working towards 1-0

This has been discussed before... but that play Gauthier made to foil the Sask fake kick return in the 2019 WCF... was a huge catalyst to the Bombers winning the cup that year... the winds were changing in that game and if Gauthier doesn't make that stop... the Bomber might not win that game

I'm going to give a HH shout out to Shane Gauthier... Someone mentioned in the gameday thread that he probably shouldn't be out there on D... and I actually agree... but that sack he made late in the fourth quarter was a huge play and killed any momentum the Calgary offense had
