He does a bang up job acting on that TSN Argos show?

Every BC win leads to the Riders being closer to playoff elimination. Great news!

He does make some weird coaching decisions. Today I was kind of wondering what the heck Argos are thinking when Jyles was on shotgun formation on the 3rd down gamble. Kavis Reed is close second to coaches that makes some weird decision. Against the Stampeders last night he keeps switching QB but the most puzzling decision was to put Duval on a field goal while Schiavone was doing well.

I guess i can handle Reed's weird decision a little bit because he is a rookie head coach but Jim Barker's been in a league for a long time. I wouldn't be surprise if Barker lose his coaching job soon and just stay as a Manager. Or maybe lose both jobs.

If Sask wins again tomorrow vs the Bombers, they are just 1 game behind the Lions. That race is far from over imo.

Better yet is "How did Bob Barker ever get that job in the first place"?

Jim Barker is annoying, if you watch that Argos camp show I don't know how anyone would play for him. Something about his face he looks off.

I seen him at a local gas station, he didn't even know how to use the prepay at the pump.

Ugly performance at home. Too much talk, not enough action. Time to forget about Swaggerville and get back to the basics.

Maybe the Bombers aren't as good a football team as most thought they were.

That awful offense was going to catch up to them sooner or later. Your defence cannot hold up for this long every game.

Tough loss for Winnipeg Joe Lobendahn is done for the year with a torn ACL and maybe his career too. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=375705

Article addressing Durant talking smack to the fans. If you watch the TSN broadcast you can clearly see Durant giving it to some fans behind the Riders bench.

I've been vocal in the past that the Riders have not and hopefully will not be that kind of organization, on or off the field, and I've often criticized teams/players that do. (mtl, Cgy) I've not been impressed with Tristan Jackson and Charles repeated trash talking and unnecessary celebrations, especially when losing.

Although I have to say its nice to see a guy from the states take such personal offence to another teams fans, albeit from an equally "hick" province, and defend Sask so hard.

I think it is obvious what kind of response it'll get on this forum but it is interesting nonetheless. I do like that Miller said he'd address it.

The Bombers/Riders rivalry has always been a lot more respectful than Cgy/Edm or Cgy/Sask. Seems like it got pretty heated this year.

I think Durant should worry more about getting into the playoffs than chirping opposing fans. He made himself look like a fool, and the this new Rider identity of show boats and loud talkers makes it easy to dislike them tbqh. Takes some stones for a QB of a 3-7 team to go off on such a tangent.

At this rate the Bombers might have to worry about getting a home date but lucky for you guys TO is so bad you're guaranteed a spot.

And what new Rider identity? lol. There have been maybe 3 incidents all season and two of those were Tristan Jackson.

Whether you like it or not that organization has been classy all the way since they dumped Barrett and Shivers.

Furthermore, it is hilarious to hear a fan of a team, who got completely embarassed for 2 consecutive weeks after sprouting their lame ass "swaggerville" BS with their inflated record, talk about not liking another team for a few fairly isolate incidents.

The reason this is a story at all is because Durant is such a quiet mellow guy to begin with. Coming from those swaggerville CEO/mayor idiots in Winterpeg it would just be expected.
