Depressing Thought

You know what's depressing, we don't have a first rounder this year. May have given up a top 3 pick.

I'm depressed that our running game is losing traction. Cotton is regressing as the season goes on.

I think it's time to forget the 'thunder and lightning' combo and maybe use 2 'thunder' combo (bigger backs) of Marshall and Scott instead?

So far as I can recall, Cotton has been running as hard as he can and not hesitating, but as Saturday's game wore on, he was being met by 3 or 5 defenders right at the line.

Is it possible the other teams know when the Bombers are going to run? And where it's going? good thing we were vanilla in preseason, so they wouldn't scope out all of our sneaky smart playbook stuff.

 

so far, we've had one good game running the ball. Cotton's had no chance, jumped on one second after he gets the ball.

 

first four games

 

cotton 108, 46, 20, 56

 

marshall 15, 6, 24, 0

 

44 yards rushing in one game.

 

:wacko:

What SPUDS is suggesting is that by being more middle ground about how the Bombers are doing is that he's some how a better fan. At least my take. I can't imagine anything more insulting or inaccurate than calling Bomber fans fickle. Imagine how bad attendance would be for this club if it were in Toronto, Hamilton, Montreal, or Calgary? Vancouver? Hell even the ***.

If Spuds has any integrity he should retract his comment and apologize.

It's not about being a better fan it's about being a more rational human being. I mean if you want to fly off the handle over a loss then go nuts but don't expect to be taken seriously when you do it.

Context is a fun. Your lack of it is not.

What context is needed? You're a one note poster saying the same stuff every time there's a loss then you bugger off when the team wins and don't say anything.

Didn't want to say this outright, especially not here, but you are one piece of work. I seriously thought you came to riderfans to troll, but it seems this is your schtick to bash other members (especially veteran members) everywhere you go. Sad to see. You really should calm down. It's only a game afterall.

 

And voodochylde is right about SPUDs. By fickle, he means how quickly the fans attack the team. It's the exactly the same with the Riders. After loses on rf, the fans are out with their pitchforks waving them at the coaching, management, defence, etc. It has nothing to do with butts in seats at the games.

Considering how little the team wins that's a hollow claim.

Context being after decades of incompetence people around here understandably get pissed off after losses. Listen to cjob post game. You and other self proclaimed level headed posters are the vast minority.

Head in sand works for some, I guess.

Considering how many lunatics are in this fanbase I take being in the minority as a compliment. It's the same with Jets fans, bunch of raving lunatics who see things as either being perfect or being the worst thing since cancer.

If you truly think callers to talk radio represent the majority of anything you're killing your own credibility.

Those people are so drunk it's insane. Man its embarrassing to listen to post game shows. People rant and rave and say nothing but slurred words and garbage. You know what they do after they hang up? Pass out on the floor in their own vomit

And yet after that last game I can't think of a better post-game activity.

I always try to fall over backwards.

I'll tell you what you can do with an apology and then retract it...

But I'll keep it PG.

For the record, you assumed what i meant by my comment, I in no way said is person was a better fan then that person because he acts this way or that..

Like previously mentioned by my fellow posters, I was implying that the fanbase is fickle in regards to how quickly they turn on player, coach, team,etc after being so supportive and optimistic just a few weeks back..

So take your righteous indignation elsewhere please.

You also realize that 9 times outta 10 it's the VOCAL MINORITY that cries out the loudest. The more even keeled, mellow fans of the fan base take a wait and see approach. I'd think that's evidenced by the other tens of thousands of fans that don't spaz out on Facebook, the sun, forums or cjob post game shows.. But hey, keep thinking you speak for so many silenced, angst ridden fans.
