They look like real throwbacks and I bet they would pop on a telethon broadcast. And then the Riders followed it up with those neon watermelon monstrosity things. Thinking back that was probably the worst league wide Alts that came out. I think only BC had something that resembled a football uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a backup that wants to be the starter and gets a little POed when he sees the depth chart every week. I don't disagree... but I highly doubt Dru Brown is looking at the depth chart every week and surprised/pissed off that he's not getting the start Mark H. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the watermelon uniforms are the equivalent of our cammo ones -- came out during the 2014 leaguewide uglification. Don't think they wore them again after 2014. Anyway to bring it back to Stamps v. Bombers, I think the Stamps unis this year look primo -- bold red and clean white, shoulder stripes add a touch of flare without being obnoxious. Even their thirds aren't too bad, although they do the pajama thing. JohnnyAbonny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Shack Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 7 hours ago, bearpants said: The two LBs bring different things to the table... when deployed on D, Gauthier plays MLB and Briggs plays WIL... neither has ever been a consistent starter... Briggs for a few games as an injury replacement in 2019... both guys getting a little older (Briggs 33, Gauthier 31) and may not have a lot of time left... their biggest impact is on special teams... Gauthier, especially, as I'll never forget the game saving play he made in the 2019 WCF... Well put! I didn't realize Briggs was older (even though it would be a simple check on the website) than Gauthier. I've just found it interesting that Gauthier as the MIKE body type seems to get into games on passing downs more than Briggs. But perhaps that's because we have Bighill effectively playing WIL or even safety on those downs? And yes -- that Gauthier tackle was perhaps the most critical play in breaking our Cup drought during that playoff run. bearpants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason why he never lasted in the CFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind Calgary (as usual the past few years) had 2 weeks to game plan and prepare for this game. Once it went off script it fell apart for them as usual.

Thankfully it's week 5 and we're 4-1, which gives us ample time to figure those things out, while we keep on winning - as our team has done time and again in past seasons - but you wouldn't know it based on some of those hot takes. Three consecutive championship appearances and people act like the powers that be don't know what they're doing or how to fix the areas that need fixing. bearpants, Noeller, Geebrr and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
