Bullshit on 28k in that **** hole last year... Looked more like 20k+ for them the last several years.

Average sold not average showed up. It’s believable but at the same time I do remember lots of green seats plenty of games I watched. However green could make an empty seat look Like a rider fan so it’s possible that there was only about 6000 empty seats. Community run team there so those numbers surely are verified or easily can be. As much as we all dislike the riders I don’t think they are lying about numbers when like us, they are community owned. Like us, all those numbers should be available.

It’s believable for sure especially when it’s 1 Winnipeg(32k) 2 Sask(28k) 3 BC (27k) as the top 3. Riders and BC looked similar most games to me. Taking things like stadium size into account.

Also a couple sell outs bumps up The average also. Riders be like thank you bomber fans.

Is Kian Schafer-Baker the most insufferable & unlikeable receiver in the CFL? The constant posing after a catch. Lying on the ground & pretending to chill should have been a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. He just looks like & acts like a fool.

On a positive note for bombers, it does seem like every defence in the league is terrible this year

In defense of defenses, I think some, I repeat some not all, of it might be the advantage the league is giving to the offenses e.g. limiting the holding calls allowing qb’s to run thru their reads.

Something is going on with defences....

This week almost every QB had career numbers....virtually every defence was lit up. Not defending ours as it was bad, but look a the numbers for Kelly, Alexander, Collars, Bo, Rourke and Harris....what the.....actually heck, look at those numbers....

Defences should catch up...ours..needs tweaking tho with scheme and personelle or may be left in the dust...

Nice to see the Riders in last albeit only 2 games in..but still nice lol

yes in prior years the defences usually ruled in the first 3 - 5 games as the offences needed to work out the kinks. Not sure what the heck is going on this year.

Even when they win they will always suck so there’s that comforting thing to lean on.

We got a whole season of Suitor doing Riders games and getting in as many defending champs during the game as possible

No, from what I see receivers are wide open all over the place. It's not even close to how far behind defenses are at this point.

I kinda like it.

Just took a look at the numbers. CFL teams are putting up 59 points a game so far this season, compared to 51.75 after week 2 last year. +1 TD average is an enormous change.

It's very early, though, with 6 teams having played only one game due to the wacky early season schedule.

I wonder what coaches and teams think of having so many teams on bye weeks early in the season? Seems like that extra week could function as just an extra few days of camp.

yeah, I'm all about letting the players have personalities on the field ... but celebrating a first down on the first drive in the first quarter is a bit much man.

The sad thing will be rules coming in next year taking a bunch of points off the board.

That garbage pose he pulled "chilling" on the sidelines while a BC Lion player was stuck underneath him was ridiculous. His job is to catch passes so maybe act like he's done it before.

I don't even know if Libin was involved with the Flames anymore at 95. Murray Edwards runs the show.

Prob not but apparently quite the pull to make the stamps and all that a part of the same group.

I can’t stand that guy but I have to admit I laughed when I saw it.

Telling every CFL fan across the league he's a narcissist without actually saying it.

Edwards uses the Stampsfor tax write offs because they lose. It's probably better for him if they lose money.
