Mark F Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) Bombers Canadian offensive players are by a country mile the best in the league. No stats for this, but I think it's a fair guess to say that our Canuck backups are better than many/most teams starting canadians. What a nice breakout home game for Demski. so nice........For years Bombers fans have wanted to see local lads on the team.

Me either, but I think now I'm ready to see this team knock CGY down. Bout time we went beyond beating the struggling teams and take down the elites.

When the Bombers can beat the Esks and Calgary, they will have the respect of the league, fans and media.I will settle for the Bombers sweeping the Riders in September.

Or goes on and on about squaring up shoulders to turn up field..holy crap I sure people got the idea after the 6th or 7th time he yammered on about it blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpan85 Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 It’s the middle 6 six of the season so we will be 8-4 or 9-3 we make hay this third of the season the past two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL We know we have one of the top teams, but the media never gives them credit for it. Been a top team for a while now but it's always Calgary this or Edmonton or Saskatchewan this for some inexplicable reason. Need to finish off this season with a Grey Cup just to watch the rest of the league wonder what the hell just happened. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBlink Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Until we win a Grey Cup or at least win a playoff game we won't get any respect. I have a good feeling about this year though. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBURGESS Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 If we want respect, we have to earn it by winning a playoff game or two, like Calgary, Edmonton and even Regina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Calgary is apparently one of the elite teams and has been for several years but they are heavily criticized for not winning the Cup. The Bombers can win a lot of regular season games, but until they redeem themselves by winning the Grey Cup or at least putting up a darned good fight in a Cup loss, they will be considered also-rans. Its been just too long between drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Championships are not the only measure of a team or player. minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills, were both elite teams, and Dan Marino was one of the best qb. in the history of the sport. likewise some ordinary quarterbacks have won titles with exceptional teams.

Guest J5V Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Suitor is just awful. Almost Black territory. The only one that even mentioned the Bombers during the game was Cuthbert. Even my wife turned to me at one point and said "Judging by the commentary you'd think Toronto was winning by a huge margin". So we really started paying attention and no matter how many good things the Bombers did the conversation always swung back to the Argos. It really makes me sick how little respect we get.

I think at least part of the lack of respect comes from having the defense we do. The old addage "defense wins championships" probably still holds true even in the CFL. Calgary gets a lot of respect for their D. Us not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
