Fatty Liver Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Next 3 games for Sask. before their bye week are against Ham., Edm and TO. so the potential to go 0-7 is alive and well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_fanaddict Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Man, if I'd known all that was needed was a thread about the Riders to start sucking and then they woul starts sucking, I would have done this 5 years ago LOL. I apologize Bomberfans for this dreadful oversight ... 5 years ago? Where have you been since 1990??? IC Khari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. Hamilton is not quite as good as some people think (the last game proved it. It was a comedy of errors and if Hamilton plays that way against Saskatchewan, they're in trouble with how close the Riders' other games have been.). We should have a good shot at them. And we only lost in OT against Toronto and that one should have been a tie game. The only one I'm not so sure about is Edmonton. I think we have 1 or 2 wins in there.

Brandon Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Hamilton will smoke them... Toronto has a decent defense and if Harris plays like he has then that should be an easy win. The only close game I see is against Edmonton since Nichols is not that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retro Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I hope this train wreck keeps going on to prove how "loyal" rider pride Is. I remember going to labour day in 2011 and a buddy of mine who had never been was shocked at how few rider fans were around. The bar was 95% bomber fans, there were a hand full of people actually wearing rider gear. It was awesome. It will happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are getting worse, not better. Basically this game was a reverse of last game. Instead of blowing a lead at the end, we gave it up earlier and played comeback. I wouldn't say we played that much worse. I'll believe we're getting worse when we start losing games by more than 3 or 4 points. At the moment, we're consistently losing close games.

Fraser Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I really enjoyed losing close games under Lapo. It was comforting to not get blown out. I don't know why most Rider fans don't appreciate it!!! IC Khari and Floyd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOBomberFan Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Indeed. Moral victories are just as good as actual victories. Going 4-14 has never felt better. Fraser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlanticRiderFan Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Reeks of the Edmonton Oilers. With that old management, it was all about the moral victories when we lost. Basically to cover up the problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 The amazing part was Messam and Allen chewing up big yardage against two of the best linebackers in the league. Didn't do the Riders any good though. Kevin Glenn was very good as well and played well enough to win and is going to have his rep as being unable to win the close/big games solidified through no fault of his own.

Kevin Glenn was very good as well and played well enough to win and is going to have his rep as being unable to win the close/big games solidified through no fault of his own. And there you have it. Messam and Allen split 16 carries for 142 yards, in the rainy conditions. Which, of course, begs the question, why didn't they run them at least 16 times more? It looked like they could run the ball all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 But the riders are also an old team. Lots of vets. Aren't they 2-13 or something in their last 15 games. They aren't good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlanticRiderFan Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Someone on RF was trying to persuade people to stop going to games so that changes will be made. What a total fair-weathered idiot. All that will do is put us in a bad financial state and drain the confidence from the players. Also gives us a bad name. I'm proud to say that the person was roasted by the most of the board, many of which were season ticket holders who don't care about the results. Boycotting in a 9 team league is absofuckinglutely stupid. Those people ruin it for me. basslicker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zontar Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Can't keep Prider fans down when they have the "we're the best/we're just like everyone else" double standard.

AtlanticRiderFan Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Well if you look at the threads on riderfans. Empty seats will follow If you are referring to the "Easy Solution...Stop Going to Games" thread, please know that most people were firmly against what he was saying and criticized him for being a fair weathered fan. That guy does not speak on behalf of the entire fanbase. I'm not in any trying to justify the "best fans in the league/Canada's Team" attitude, just merely pointing out that not everyone acts like him. As for attendance, the reason it was lower was due to the rain. Looking at the seat map, there was likely 31K or 32K seats sold. Members of rf who were at the game stated that there were some season ticket holders that weren't there and there were groups that had bought tickets where not everyone ended up coming.
