Of course you don't get hung up on that, you are a fan of the team. Even if you give them a pass on drafting Yakupov for the bust that he was, the Oilers draft record outside of the first round is just atrocious. Any semi competent organization who had the picks and opportunity they've had since 2010 should have never even been in the lottery for McDavid.

I believe it's an old Chevy Nomad...runs great but like it's owner can be a little temperamental at times

This tells you all you need to know about trumps thought process. He knows he’s all but finished.

Nichols himself in the post game press conference blamed the wind on the Adams play.... so what do you have to say about that!? He also said he "thought he played a pretty solid game". That's the thing that bugs me the most about the guy, is he can't just man up and admit he played like crap. At least he didn't throw his receivers under the bus again and say no one was open. his leash has to be short next season... to pay a guy 450K next season to watch him throw 4 yard passes and maybe 1 TD a game? That will get frustrating really quick. He had one good game all year.... not sure how you can say with a straight face that he was "great". If that's what we are going to consider great QB play, then this fan base has been brainwashed into believing mediocre QBing is acceptable. If he comes out of camp healthy and still looks she'll shocked and can't Pull the trigger when needed, then it's time to move on. Football is very much a "what have you done for me lately" business, and the fact is Matt Nichols has only had 2 good games in the last year and a half, one of them being the 2017 WSF in a losing effort (which I don't blame him for... it might have been one of his best games as a Bomber), the other the home win against Calgary to clinch a playoff spot!

Yeah seattle is a boom city in a big way. Plus that football market is locked up tight as it gets.

I don't care about draft picks... I just still hate the Oilers because we're Jets fans and that's what we're supposed to do.

Oh. Oilers fans don't. Okay.

Lots of factors go into QB performance. But given that Nichols plays behind what is arguably the best O-line in the league and gets elite QB money (+$400k) - his 2018 play was a real disappointment. It's likely the knee injury limited his performance - he often seemed hesitant, rarely got much beyond the first read and, once in the grasp had zero escapability. Once a defender got a pinky on him - he just folded. Also, Nichols never was much of a rushing QB. This year he ran 15 times for about 50 yards total. All of that makes it easier for defensive coordinators to counter. Nichols should be taking a pay cut going into 2019 so Bombers can take some $$ from the QB envelope to extend Streveler.

I'm guessing ol dumb ass doesn't know what a warrant is................................but he'll soon find out

Just shows what good mgmt. can do as opposed to bad management. Peter Ciarrelli in Edmonton should be fired. he has made questionable picks & trades since he was hired by the Oilers. One wonders how long the players will play for Hitchcock before they stop performing for him as well.

The issue people take with Edmonton is despite having the first overall pick for 3 years in a row, 2010 - 2012, they still sucked enough to win the McDavid sweepstakes in 2015. You would think being gifted those draft picks, they could have been something 5 years later. Jets were lucky to move up to get Laine in that draft year, but we didn't even get the 1st overall pick ,let alone 4 in 6 years.

I'm surprised Hefney is doing as well as he is. Wasn't even the best defensive player on his own team when he was here. Don't see him as one the the two best halfbacks all-time.

When something happens that favours their opinion, they’re back like novacaine at the dentist. But when it’s the opposite - crickets. Sorry, but sometimes a spade is a spade.

They still can sign in the nfl even when they are under contract. But if cfl players scoff at the 2 year deals I can’t see these 3 year deals being all that appealing.

Lots of tolls... Great aquarium and zoo .. Lots of Polish people... Great deep dish pizza... Some very scary neighborhoods where you can get killed ...

My son lives in Seattle. Big football fan but he sure isn't excited about an XFL team there.

The bar is so high that a 2 point night for McDavid is considering shutting him down. Do you hear yourself? I mean yeah he didn't get 4 points and win the game all by his lonesome like last time these teams played but to suggest that they shut down a guy and he still picked up 2 points and rang the bar in OT and may well have won the game there is shut down.... get over yourselves. You know what stops me from really getting behind the Jets? The fact that Jets fans act like Rider fans.

Get your facts straight. I blame Nichols personally for the 2 Riders losses, because he gave the ball away, which was the difference maker in those 2 games. Nichols was a difference maker in his 300 yard game too, this time in a good way. The rest of the games, he wasn't a difference maker in my opinion. He's a game manager who is at his best when he doesn't give the ball away, which is all we really ask of him. He doesn't run well or throw deep well. He's accurate on the short passes and makes quick decisions. He's better than Willy was or any of a bunch of other poor QB's that we tried to win with, but that's not a high bar. For some folks around here and Nichols himself, it's always someone else's fault. Bottom line... Nichols missed another open receiver, just like Streveler and BLM did. BTW: That game didn't come down to 1 play anyway. It was a combo of several things. 75 yards passing by the end of the 3rd quarter. Missing 2 deep balls. No TD drives, when Calgary got 3. Playing not to lose instead of taking chances. Waiting for the turn over to go our way, then doing nothing with it. Not giving Streveler a couple of sets of downs early in the 4th to see if he could jump start our O. A bad punt. Some iffy kick coverage.

That was good for a morning laugh Talbot is the only thing that kept edm in that game if nurse goal is called correctly, there’s not even OT

Rest In Peace, Tyrone Jones.
