Heat of the moment, things get said, it is what it is, i'd suspect if the mic didn't pick it up, then NON ISSUE.

lol, 99% will believe exactly what the media feeds them. I don't think so. I think it's probably closer to 10 percent. I don't think you are giving people enough credit actually. I think most people can see through the BS that the media is putting out there. I think it's become quite apparent the last couple years to most people that the media don't know as much as they like to pretend they do. Most people don't like to be told what to think or how to think it or who to cheer for and who not to cheer for, Sure, theres a percentage of people who will believe the media until the cows come home but i think that percentage of people would also believe the media if they told them the sky was green and the grass is blue. You are always going to have people who believe the media, but you also have people who thought that MH370 plane was on the moon or abducted by aliens, Those people are few and far between i think. Okay, maybe not 99%, but most people will 'eat up' the whole 5- 1 start to 1 - 4 tail spin because only wins and losses matter at the end of the day. I dunno, if you have 30,000 bomber fans in attendance and polled 30,000 bomber fans, you might get some different answers than you would from those who claim to be fans but really aren't. You see those people on the WFP comments section all the time, They like to think they are fans but can't even tell you 4 players on the team. I'm not sure it really matters what the "masses" think here when it comes to the bombers, it matters what bomber fans think and i think for the most part, bomber fans are smart enough to know that the media are morons.

He's a total piece of crap and that video of him knocking out his girl was disgusting but... just saying, don't want it to happen, don't think it should happen and don't want it to happen, did i say don't want it to happen but... there is a poweback of sorts who just came available today.. Ray Rice, released by the Ravens, suspended indefinitely by the NFL, guess that means he can't play up here but... he would be the type of back some are wanting. Wouldn't he?

Factions? Is this pro wrestling? If so, I want to be part of the NWO or DX.

I think the smart fans and Winnipeg i think has quite a lot of knowledgeable sports fans can see passed the media's agenda and i think sometimes, even get sick of the media's agenda here. I think there is a reason why less and less people are buying newspapers, i think there is a reason why they give the Winnipeg Sun away for free in most areas of the city... It's that people are catching on to the media, instead of reporting news like they should be doing, they are making it up and most people see this. The media is trying to tell people what to think instead of letting people think for themselves. I don't know about anyone else but.. Not a big fan of people trying to tell me what to think. I have a brain, i have eyes, when it comes to football i can watch and listen and form my own opinion and i don't need the media to tell me what they think either. Most the media are "opinion writers", sure some fall under the category of sports writer but reality is, They are all just opinion writers. There is no difference between paul wicek and joey joe joe shabbadoo posting on this very forum, only difference, one guy gets paid to write his opinion, the other guy is posting it for "fun" really. I'll be honest, I learn more from posting on this forum than i ever have from reading a newspaper article thats for sure. The best paper in Winnipeg right now, It's the Metro. It cuts out all of the bs opinion pieces and just focuses on the "news" really. And if anyone tries to tell me otherwise, just wait until election time when the papers tell you who to vote for.

Not using it as an excuse but i agree, that bye week can't come quick enough. Just to let our guys heal up, most are probably battling through little nagging injuries. A week off completely would help them, also probably refresh them too.

I agree with this, I'm just saying on the chat it's the same people every time so a temp ban on game day would work to eliminate them lol.

Wasn't McCune a guest coach for the Stampeders? He's probably done playing football.

There is a guy on our PR, they have him listed as a DE/LB.. 6'5 250 pounds. He was in training camp and just brought back. Has the size to play MLB, Willy Moseley.. Any chance we see him in the line up?

Did TSN show it? I never saw it. They didn't but apparently at the stadium they showed it cuz O'shea on CJOB after said on replay it looked like the rider play took a dive. So they must have shown it in house, not on TSN though.

Cut one of our better Canadian players because the sask player took a dive? I don't know about that one. Canadian depth is a problem for us right now.

pretty much what o'shea said regarding the Kohlert UR penalty too.

Seems like there's some people who think you get a point for every yard of rushing. In their minds Saskatchewan scored 196 points yesterday. If football was really scored that way I'd be crazy depressed too. The reason OShea says it isn't a problem with the exception of about 3 plays, the defence succeeded in doing what it was trying to do. Saskatchewan doesn't get bonus points for first downs or rushing yards. They got in the end zone once. In makeable field goal range twice. This is what the defence is. It held the defending Grey Cup champs to 107 yards passing and created multiple turnovers. If the opposition getting lots of yards rushing and lots of first downs and not being able to turn those things into points makes you angry, you're not going enjoy playing Calgary either. Their Oline will also push our Dline aside. I agree but just want to say, we had more first downs, almost double really well not almost but close to almost and about a minute more in time of possession.

I've gotta figure out how to use AdBlocker to block people in the game day chat. or.. the mods could just give a temporary ban to those handful of people maybe for 24 hours, the day of the game so they can't ruin it for the rest of us. I don't come on to chat often for that very reason. It's the usual suspects over and over again so not sure why it wouldn't be warranted. I understand the site seems to be against banning people but.. temporary bans just so the folks who actually want to talk football during the game on chat can actually talk football on there without the usual suspects throwing in their pointless 2 cents every 10 seconds. If any mod wants to know which guys it were, you probably got about 15 of us who can tell you who those i'm gonna say 2 were. The op was one, the other.. think everyone knows who that was. I love you like Dora the Explorer loves Maps, I love you like the popes toilet loves Holy Craps I'm Offensive and Creative like Handicapped Porn A girl's like a fridge, once a week you should Stock (stalk) it... Ohhhh Words to live by, or what? Quotes by Bo Burnham. He's probably the funniest comedian out there today. Look him up. Words to live by? hardly, just a signature on a fan forum. Big woop really.

Crazy stat here, time of possession, winnipeg 30:38 SASK 29:22 So far all that running SASK did, The bombers still had the ball longer, not by much but they did. Rushing, riders had a 6.3 yard average.. Bombers had a 7.2 yard average and 18 less carries, Perhaps a game where we didn't run enough ourselves actually First downs. Winnipeg 23. SASK 14 Grigsby had just 8 carries for 66 yards, over an 8 yard average, We didn't run the ball enough. Had 3 catches for 32 yards. Total = 11 touches for 98 yards. We definitely didn't use Grigsby enough this game Can talk about our RUN D all you want but... On Offense, we didn't run the ball enough. Hell, Grigsby didn't get enough touches, 11 friggin touches for the guy and he averages basically 9 yards a touch and we only use him 11 times? Brutal.

Howard played well today and the last couple games for that matter, I think he will be a good one eventually. Plays with a mean streak, gotta like that part of his game, the rest is just coaching really, Not gonna call out howard anymore cuz it's not just him, if it was just him messing up, he wouldn't be playing. It's the entire line really at times. Most pressure today came up the middle it seemed. Anyway though, what are we missing In My Humble Opinion - That dominant defensive end who can get pressure on the QB constantly (hello alex hall) - a MLB with size so we can push WILD (when/if he is healthy out to the WIL spot) - A defensive tackle, perhaps that dominant defensive end is in house already but he's playing the wrong spot.. SACK Anderson is that guy maybe but.. need a big DT so anderson can move to the outside more.. Dude is a beast and should be playing DE. is there a trade to be made with hamilton here? Hamilton lacks an oline, maybe jones or swiston and a pick (not 1st) to hamilton for one of their Canadian DLINE. they have a plethora of them. - The oline looked good today and seem to be getting better, sask has a good dline, bombers gave up a couple sacks and a couple hurries but..not as much as some other teams have given up vs sask... Think we still need a guard though and a better tackle, January ain't getting much younger or better, seems to get a free press here though - Better Canadian depth, that won't happen this season though, that's a long term fix, when we have 7 legit starting Canadians........ - Wild to be healthy, We miss him badly.. if he is going to be out a while, a long snapper is needed.

Liked the als jerseys, didn't like the MTL though on the helmets. Look bush. Great game actually, turned out to be one hell of a game. Alouettes are also called larks, those wings on their jerseys made sense.. They are a bird of some kind after all.

It wasn't a late hit Tom - again, you're off. Proves what you said last week as well (about the non PI call) that you really don't know what you are talking about. I heard the whistle live. However, none of the players did. I've seen this kind of thing in the past - usually in the NFL the umpire and referee (as they are the ones close to the LOS) will both wave their hands and blow their whistles if the players continue to play - and if a player (QB usually) is hit when they are doing that, they WILL throw the flag for Unnecessary roughness. I heard a whistle but did not see ONE official - and I only heard ONE whistle, until AFTER the hit, then we heard them blowing it again. Too bad for Darian - but he kept playing if had just stopped and stood there chances are he'd be trotting off the field with the rest of his teammates. He kept playing, so did the bombers. It wasn't the CFL's fines moment but it was the OFFICIAL's error, not the players, hence no flag. Late hit - are you smoking crack when you're watching the game? The play is dead when the whistle blows. It doesn't matter who hears it and who doesn't. Hit the QB after the whistle has blown and it should be a roughing play. EVERY SINGLE TIME. BTW: It's Terry, not Tom. Only the large majority of the players didn't hear the whistle, and obviously neither did Bradbury or else he would thrown the flag. Not a difficult concept. Quite frankly, if we lost Willy on a similar play after the whistle had blown, everyone around here would be rightly blowing a gasket. Chamblin can pretend he heard the whistle and you can pretend you did too with that supersonic hearing that the tsn announcers didn't even pick up but fact is.. nobody heard the damn whistle so just give it a rest with the same posts after every game crap. It's getting old

I'd understand articles like these if we were blown out every game but our self inflicted mistakes were basically what cost us each game, people can go on and on and on about the running game and yeah it's an issue but.. riders only scored 1 offensive TD.. the time of possession was very close also, so the riders might have ran lots but they didn't do much else and those running yards let to like what? 1 td and 2 field goals? 14 points really, 1 single. Self inflicted mistakes these last few games with the riders, we hung in there with them, they are a very good team, they aren't as great as some make them out to be, or if they are, not sure why the bombers get no credit considering they hung in there every game and could have won all of them if not for some self inflicted mistakes on our part. The sky is falling for sure with the media and articles like this and a few fans, but really, think the average fan knows this team is on the right track, think the average fans understands we have been competitive every game this season minus 1 (the esks game), think the fans are being entertained, the fans are in to it.. they have come a long way in one off season and sometimes i think people (media and a few fans) forget exactly how far they have come in one off season. Do they need to upgrade some spots? You bet, Will they? probably not this season, we are what we are now but.... what you are seeing is a young team continuing to grow and showing heart, never giving up until the final play of the game. I'll take that over what we had the last couple seasons for sure. How many media guys expected them to win 6 games even? how many of the "fans" complaining the most expected 6 wins? I'd wager to guess, NONE of them. You had fans and the OP is included in this group on the chat during the game going on and on and on and on about just the most ridiculous stuff, ruining it for everyone else in there trying to actually talk football while the game was going on. Every little play was HOLY OVER REACTION, seriously, it became nauseating at times... most times actually, but funny thing is there.. those maybe handful of fans in the chat who were going on and on about nothing, that's who these types or articles are aimed at and the other interesting part is, most the people in the chat didn't want to hear this crap then and certainly don't want to hear it now. But you know what, for those handful of fans, that's cool, as annoying and ridiculous as it got in there, they aren't paid to write their BS, our media is. Articles like this are a joke and i hope to god most people don't take them seriously. Gonna say it, think Winnipeg in general has some smart knowledgeable sports fans, I'm not sure why our media tries to pretend we are ******** with articles like this though. Football is supposed to be fun, entertaining, it's really there to kill some time, it's actually sports entertainment really... people can say what they want but this season for the bombers, it's definitely been entertaining. I'll take this season over the last oh i dunno 10 really.

#Riders have most 100-yard rushing games in #CFL this season (5) - @_GODSWILL2886_ Will Ford 2, @Ant_Allen 2, @JMessam 1 #TSN

You do realize sask runs on every team right, they average like 150 yards rushing a game.... It means they run on everyone, not just the bombers.

i don't know but if i had to guess, his veteran presence. Probably a good locker room guy. Perhaps he'd make a good LB coach one day. I dunno. I want to compare him to Chris Thorburn from the JETS, why did they resign him? Who knows, must be something they like. It's gotta be something we all can't see though.

Sask just runs the ball, they run the ball versus every team, they are a team built to run the ball. Honestly, I think the RUN D when we play heavier backs is a problem but when we don't, It's not as much, guys like allen and messam who run north south are a problem, Cornish would be a problem, but with that being said, I don't think the RUN D cost us the game or any game for that matter, Maybe last weeks but even then, we made several mistakes in other facets of the game. Look at fords average, then look at Allens and Messams, the bigger backs are a problem for us, we don't have the players to stop these big bruising backs but finesse backs, like most the league has, we seem to do OK against.
