I am jumping up and down right now getting pumped that we will get to murder SSK for our first playoff win.  Oh yes we will, our shutout against them a few weeks ago was just a warmup.

With Collaros presumably unable to play, and the fact that he sucks anyway, Bighill and company are ready to come drop the bombs on Bridge, Tate and whoever else dares line up behind center.

 

Also, show no mercy if you see Rider Trolls around here this week.  Raid down fire on The Bandit's head and let him have it.

That's the difference here unfortunately. How many of you were at the 2003 West Semi in Wpg?

We lost that game, but my bitterness towards rider fans, not the team stems from that game. I've never seen so many down right rude, disgusting trolls in the stands who literally were getting ejected for being vulgar and starting fights (around alot of kids I might add). 

1 or 2 the whole game? I can understand. But 10+ is out of hand. 

Pretty sure we all rib in good nature but it's the idiots with the manure in the bags (and their mouths) that give the rest of them a bad name.

Happens in Calgary all the time. Rider fans are a unique blend of power drinkers and assholes.

I was going to suggest a viewing party on Sunday (I'm in Calgary), but I believe you're in BC for a wedding...

Assuming we make the final, I am up for group tickets!!!!

I am, and also very interested in a group ticket for the Calgary game if we make it.

If we make it I will make a post here --- one of the corporate sales reps is a good friend of one of my clients and we have a direct line. (LOL)

 

I found this article to be reasonable, except for giving the Riders the advantage at linebacker.

Riders Foghorn (Rod Penison) is proclaiming a 25-18 riders win.

Sorry Penison. It's going to be 27 - 16 Bombers.

We are better at linebacker and db, and I will argue that the dl is closer than it seems because our tackles are better. 

 

We got depth, they got a handful of good players. Depth wins.

With Sam Hurl ????

Riders have a better d-line.

Bombers have better.. everything else.

I'm honestly surprised they're a 12 win team with the style they play. It's so unbalanced 

Riders sign Simon Rottier.  What in the actual ****?

These guys sign everyone yet they're always under the cap. Funny how that works.

Because they sign them on the back of a piece of toilet paper, and then Penison uses it to wipe has a55. Can't read the writing, no cap hit.

I don't think the quality of handwriting has anything to do with this problem.

Nope, it's the poop that causes the issue. 

And now that they've signed the Poop... more issues!

Riders are terrible up the middle of their defence, that is compared to Winnipeg who’s strength lies down the middle. On the outside Riders have freak type athletes who rely on there athletism rather than knowledge. While Bombers just have solid guys on the outside.

I'm near Calgary too and if we make it I'll be heading to that game too.

Yeah not too sure who put that together...we had more interceptions...gave up less passing TD's...(by a big margin) and fact of the matter gave up less points...with 2 linebackers in the top 8 in league in tackles...and not a single rider in the top 10 (and any team with Hurl in the rotation) can't be considered that great. As well foreced most turnovers in the league which the majority always go to the LB'S and DB's...not a very good assessment when you look at the season as a whole and a sum of all the parts

Per Penison

But don't read too deep into that. The Saskatchewan offence is built for this time of season. They are in the top three in turnovers made and in time of possession. If the Green and White offence can hold onto the football, keep their mistakes to a minimum and hold the Bomber offence off the field, it will make for a much easier game

Now does this twit even read what he writes...point A) Winnipeg has the league best grind it out ground game (with leading rusher) and best 0-line which is totally healthy .B) yeah Winnipeg is in the top 3 too...but sit at number 1 C) Sask has a time of possession of 30.42 and we sit at 30.28....YET we have scored 50 offensive TD's to their 25...so wheres the advantage there???

Another article solidly solidifying what a doofuss that guy is and how he really has no clue...

The only season the Riders offence is built for is the off season.

The advantage to the Riders LBer corps because they rotate more mediocre players through during the game? It makes zero sense. Let's just discount MOP level play from Bighill, all star level play from Santos Knox and give the edge to a Rider LBer crew anchored by Sam Hurl with a couple of hobos beside him. Literally the stupidest thing I have read and just kills the credibility of an otherwise good break down. Bombers LBer crew is vastly superior to the Riders....it isn't even comparable. I am gobsmacked that a professional CFL journalist would even think they were comparable let alone superior to ours.

Bombers shutout win was a pure fluke.   Just hope we can go up there and make things respectable.  Harris is aging, and almost washed up, and our O in general, will quake before the Rider Green Wall on D.  None of MOS's cheap gimmicks will save us.  Lapo will be packing his bags at half-time. Our D is overrated and without Poop and Hurl, has taken a giant step backwards.  Medlock is overpaid, and Nichols is strictly a scrub.

I hope the right people are reading this....

Hurl > Bighill.  It's not even close.  Harris will just drop the ball in fright at the sight of the Rider D and run the other way.  It's a given.
