Alexander is the punishing safety we wanted Loffler to be.

Loeffler was plenty physical, difference is that Alexander can cover too.

BA is the best safety I can remember and we have had some really good ones.

And to think it was all due to injuries.

I love that dude

And play any spot in the backfield.

Suitor of all people actually said it pretty well last night.... you pay full retail price for everything you get against the Bombers d. 

 

It's true. You gotta earn anything the hard way and the Bombers just never stop coming. They got enough depth they rotate guys through and keep everyone fresh.

And they were correct...recievers now are getting tentative to make the catch..what we see...3 balls dislodged after being drilled by a bomber..and probably 3 drops from anticipation of getting hammerd

And it won't be getting warmer here.

I am sure teams are pumped to play this D, in our stadium, in December.

I love you for choosing that number. I literally said to my wife during the game it could be 60-3 and she just rolled her eyes at me.

Wife rolling eyes at husband while watching Bomber game? Say it ain’t so.

Probably thinking Harris was just missing passes all on his own. Fact is Harris was rushing every throw because he was terrified of the beating he would take if he held on longer. 

 

That is the way to beat the Bombers D, quick accurate throws. Problem is there are few qbs can be that accurate throwing quick. Maier was actually really good at it in the game against Calgary, not many others have managed to be.

Hansen may not be with the Bombers for a long while, but he will have some really great memories.

he was just hanging around on the field behind the tv interviews....  arm looked a bit sore, he was just looking around the stadium. suspect he might be good guy tonhave on your side.

If anyone is to beat Winnipeg, especially come playoffs, they will have to play perfect. You can MAYBE make one mistake. 
 

I wonder if Alexander finds his way to the NFL. That man loves to hit.

Yup...he's a Bennie Thompson type hitter

Having Stove back is huge..if u rewatch the game .watch the first play edm ran when they stopped us on 3rd and goal...Elks ran with Wilder...Stove grabbed the center..threw him out of the way and almost caused a safety getting Wilder in the endzone .that dudes a beast

Bombers have given up 2 passing TDs and have not given up one since week 3

That's actually insane... 

 

Man all the stats about this D and it still astounds me. I don't know that I have ever seen anything like what we are seeing this year. It doesn't even matter that the special teams are such a weakness.

It hasn't hurt that so many of the other CFL teams have offences that are struggling.

They just happened to be playing their worst against us.

They snap out of it against other teams.

They only struggle against the Bombers.  

Maybe look at some stats cuz it's not them... it's OUR D

It’s possible Maier had success vs the Bombers because they had limited film on him… Similar to Cornelius having some success vs the Winnipeg D in the first meeting

Oh absolutely.  Trevor  Harris definitely won't lose to anyone - the week after he plays the Bombers again...

This gem from Riderfans:

Winnipeg is strange in that other teams often play very poorly against them

 

This has to be a joke… not possible for someone to be this ignorant… is it?

“Success” against this D is scoring 1 TD, 16 points and piling up some meaningless yardage… I’ll take that as a “bad day” for the D…

Yes...its weird

Listening to Suitor trying to explain Stove's nickname and yammering on about him being a kitchen appliance made me want to reach in tv and slap him...if u have no clue..STFU

He needs to go. That’s a consensus across every CFL message board, he’s terrible. Combine him with Rod Black and it’s that much worse…

I thought we had the safety on that one to be honest.
