Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) Good grief... it's all up like RF in here. Holy smokes Guys, take a step back from the edge. There are issues with this team and I totally understand people's frustrations, but let's not go full riderfans....

SpeedFlex27 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I don't see anything wrong with being worked up. It means the fanbase has passion for the team. That we care. I'll take that over, "Hey Chill, man". Look at some of the teams & their attendance. Toronto 12,000. Montreal 16,000. Vancouver 19,000. How much apathy do other teams have in their cities with their fans? Not in Winnipeg. Can it be a tough place to play? Yes. That's good.

We have passionate fans. They care deeply about their team. We care deeply about our team. Know what the difference is? When they go to bed at night in Regina. When they wake up they're still in Regina. Eternal optimist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigseye Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I think everyone has had time to vent now. You gotta have a short memory right? I'm sure the Bombers have moved on and are now getting ready for the most important back to back of the season. A split is a must, two wins and we will all be on cloud 9.

A split is absolutely a must. I suggest that even one flukey win will not be enough to silence the critics of O'Shea and the team in general.

A short memory is one thing, but when you see the same thing over and over what then? I've seen disturbing similarities in the last 2 weeks. Let's call it like it is. This fanbase is frustrated with 30 years of Grey Cup drought (need I remind everyone that this is a 9 team league). After two very positive seasons, we have regressed significantly this season. I'm sick of seeing the team struggle so mightily, and the coaching doing absolute jack to fix it. As season ticket holders/ long term passionate fans we want to see progress towards winning. You are right though, 2 wins against the Hillbillies will create a euphoria for the fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickem Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I stepped back from the edge so far that I fell into a crater....WTF...if you're a true Bomber supporter you pick yourself up and get back in the race...(cue the song ..That's Life)..We'll come up with something for the hillbillies and shock them out of their shorts...(eeeeeew now I have to wash that out of mind, as that's a very nasty picture, and would keep me awake at night)...Hopefully we have some answers on Labour Day Wanna-B-Fanboy and Bomberfan85 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 You know what? Better the Lapo offense struggle in august than the fall. The D has improved a lot, i don't care what the numbers say, they were good enough to win on Saturday with any help from the offence. It will get figured out, every team has a poor stretch at some point, beat the riders and all is well again.

Booch Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Lets look at it in the Riders mindset last few years...play for 4th and cross...hahaha...so we can realistically go 3 and 5 in our remaining games and slide on over in a worst case scenario....have half the season to get things right and get to play-offs hot. I think tho..this may have been a galvanizing moment and we actually go on a run now...we shall see...and not being a homer here...but I don't see the Riders as being a threat to overtake us...as the season progresses their bubble will burst and defense will falter..they have some good guys playing well in their system that are starters...but zip for back-ups and once all the knicks and dings and the inevitable injury to a starter happens..it goes down hill Wanna-B-Fanboy and rebusrankin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I'm not off the bandwagon but I'm frustrated how the past few weeks have gone and how some of the issues feel like a same old, same old.

17to85 Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Honestly forget the 500 yards and 250 for Jorden, look at how long the D kept that game in reach despite the offense doing jack squat after the first quarter. No defense is going to come out looking good on the stats sheet with that kind of useless offense. If Lankford hadn't taken that ball to the house the game would have been over a lot sooner.
