Rob – no prob, BTW Riders really need Bombers to win at least the two BC games, maybe only, by week 19 may not be necessary…… wait….what does Blue mean by that last comment??, Riders will have already locked up 3rd??? or…..4th???

Bone, yup – by now the two of you know I like Sask, lived there done that, my comments are not an attack, just my thoughts, I’m negative towards Wpg as well many times, personally would LOVE to see a Bombers – Riders grey cup again this time with a different outcome. No offence intended to Rob, green or anyone else I may have offended

Have to agree about the last 2 games….far from great performances however found a way to win regardless. The difference I see from the 3 game streak is playing a complete 60 minute game. Tomorrow night will give us a better idea – need a complete effort on O and D in order to prepare for a very tough Calgary team at home.

Blue’s calling it the way it is. After the 3 game win streak, the Riders have been pretty average. Worst run game in the CFL by a couple hundred yards, Glenn has been awful for 4 games now, no run game. Have been a bit lucky facing Ottawa with top 2 QB”s missing. Argos missing Ball, Woods, Laing & Lemon in front 7. If a Rider fan thinks that’s the way the team should go into the playoffs, good luck. You’re setting the bar awfully low. You should expect a better performance or do you think this is the same team that blew out Western opponents during that 3 game streak? Take the blinders off – if they play like this vs Calgary they’ll get killed.

In reply to Blue Rules. Pretty crude statements from a person whose team had a major collapse against Hamilton (and at home, yet). And now Nichols is banged up. Blue and Gold could be scrambling to maintain second place. Interesting weeks ahead.

God forbid BC comes into IGF and lay you guys a beating like Hamilton did. Sure our last games weren’t pretty.. but they were on the road 2 weeks in a row, one of those being in a downpour. A win is a win baby.
Also the stumps didn’t give us a beat down last time, who’s to say we won’t go in there and win?
The bombers are only a couple of injuries away from unchartered waters. They have been extremely lucky with having almost no injuries all year. Just saying 😉

Riders have had an interesting season so far, bottom dwellers until week 7, completely dominant for 3 week, then back to a struggle until the last couple weeks with last minute victories. Hard to know who shows up this weekend. My pick Sask in the final minutes, but then done for the year, will be lucky to win Montreal after Stamps beatdown.

Go Riders! Hamilton will thank you if you can hand the OTTRBs their next loss while they try to knock the Stamps down a peg!
