Let's move on to the stamps!

Seeing a tonne of traffic on the rider threads- time to flush it and set our sights on the Western FInal!

 

Any concerns going into the game? who's healthy? 

Is the decision to stand pat with our receivers and not o for Matthews going to bite us in the ass?

How do we match up against Calgary now?

 

Go Bombers!!!!

We have not seen a real trick play on Special Teams in a very long time. 

I think we're playing safer on ST in all facets because we are a better team on offense and defense. Honestly doubt we'll see any tricks now

Agreed. I cannot see the Bombers doing anything different than what got them here.

Need some advice ... want to buy grey cup tickets ... but not if the bombers aren’t in it.

chance it and get good price... or wait and let it sky rocket

Our cover teams have to be a lot better than they were last Sunday.

From 1959...

 What a great running back Rick Martel was.

There is always room for improvement, but the Riders have had excellent return teams all year and the Bombers did reasonably well. I cannot see that Calgary's special teams are better.

buy them now and dump them if the Bombers aren't in it... worst case scenario is you lose a few bucks on the re-sale...

Yeah, if the Bombers aren't in it, Calgary will be. Should be able to move the tickets to Stamps fans, right?

Seems like the wrong way to fix the problem to me. Just let the eye in the sky call them.

 

 

Another incompetent ref on the field? Oh good. 

Ambrosie is really ruining the good will he had coming into the position. 

People are losing their jobs, they're apparently playing games in Mexico, the reffing is getting worse and Montreal and Toronto remain jokes but now we're going to put a ref on the field who's sole job is to look for head shots on the QB? Well, I guess they'll need to justify their existence and call a few. 

Maybe Halifax will get a team. That should improve the product and reffing.

To appease the fans in Sask. this extra official will be wearing green stripes.

Where is this ref going to be positioned?  If they see an egregious hold or illegal block they can’t call it?

Just when you think they couldn’t get any stupider.

The CFL ALWAYS doubles-down on stupid.

I'd wait and buy them closer to the game. I know people who go every year, and unless the home team (or the Riders) is in the game, they buy on game day. They always pay well under face value.

Cynical. That’s what word comes to mind.

Fans complain on what’s going on at field level and when the league jumps on the problem..more complaints.

So, they contact all nine teams and get feedback, and come up with an interim solution until the off season, and still it’s not enough?

I’d be more worried if the problem was ignored.

What problem? A call was missed. There are lots of calls botched every game but they haven't moved to improve the reffing. Now, they're adding a ref that's going to just watch for head shots to the QB? Come on, they're not improving anything and there are already 7 refs on the field and video review.

sounds like a sweet gig... I'd gladly be paid to go to the games just to stare at the QBs the whole time... but I do worry, as @JCon said, that they will have to throw some flags to justify being there...

NO..this would be better as it would be called immediately...without need for review or a team have to waste a challenge
