Surprised streveler wasn't fined for some of those licks he put on rider defenders during his runs

Jefferson gets fined for hitting Fajardo... @Ripper: the Bombers are dirty and target our QBs! Johnson gets fined for hitting Streveler… **crickets**

Great deal.

How do you make Cameron Judge cry?

2500 people will show up instead of 25000

Second best value contract on the Jets. Scheif, Morrissey, Ehlers locked down for 18.4 That's some absolutely outstanding work by Chevy

Craziest part is people taking things so personal on here. Like if you disagree with someones opinion that's cool but going off on ridiculous rants is just odd.

I think it's pretty sad when we have our fans just assassinating Nichols character & toughness with a first place team. So much for team loyalty. No matter what he does they'll never give the guy the credit he deserves. Just constant criticism. If we were 1-10 like BC I could understand it. But we're in first place. Like I said, it's just sad. I think at times this fanbase is worse than the Riders.

This is great value for a number 1 LHD who likely gets an A soon

I’m reporting this post to Mike because it contains facts.

Like stupid Glenn just leaving his arm hanging out there...

Why don't we just return a couple kicks for touchdowns each time? seems like a solid game plan.

When a player is out on the field busting his gut & he gets called a wimp because of his parents genetics by a looney fan who says he learned his toughness on an elementary school yard field when he was 8... then yeah, I'll call that fan out. Those comments are Rider fan stupid.

From the Bighill files: Adam Bighill does not believe his play has dropped off one bit. “I’ve seen it since I’ve been in the CFL — sometimes, plays come your way and sometimes they don’t,” Bighill said Thursday after practice at IG Field. “Sometimes you have three tackles in a game and you played a fantastic game and it’s hard for people to even notice because you only had three tackles. “I feel like I’ve had a handful of those games this year.” Bighill has recorded 32 tackles, or an average of four per game, which isn’t coming close to last season when he had 105 tackles in 18 games (5.83 per game). “You’ve got to think too that teams are playing us a little bit differently this year, based on what we did last year and some of the success I had last year, scheming things differently,” said Bighill, who signed a lucrative three-year contract extension with the Bombers in the off-season. “That has maybe not allowed me to do some of the things I did last year. “Tackles aren’t always super indicative of performance. It means that you’ve obviously had a chance to be productive but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve been doing your job. Having a lot of tackles? Maybe you’ve made 70% of them eight or 10 yards down the field. As a linebacker, you’re flowing to the ball, you have a motor, but we also want to be making plays at or behind the line of scrimmage.” You’re not sitting in our meeting rooms or listening to the direction (Bighill) gives, the conversations he has with his teammates, the questions he asks,” Bombers coach Mike O’Shea said. “On the field you’re not listening to him put guys in the right spots and make checks to make sure everything is going smoothly. That’s the job of a middle linebacker. These are all things he does extremely well, besides his athleticism, besides his understanding of offences and plays and how he maneuvers around the field to give different looks and put himself in good position.”

This post wins the internet.

No kidding, after that 21 yard romp through 8 defenders I think Strevs should be paying his fines like:

You know, as far as Stockholm Syndrome goes, the only time I feel its effects is when I read yours & Skunks constant criticism of Nichols. I think your opinion sucks.

How is anyone going to know it's an 80's party? What is going to be different from a regular football game at Mosaic?

I really do believe that notion that our DL is so dominant, a lot of plays aren't even getting to that 2nd level as much as they were last year, so he's not even getting the opportunity to make as many plays.

Super happy with this signing. Steal of a deal for 8 years.

Agreed. Deal looks good now. Will look even better next year. Will look tremendous in a few years time.

Yeah, I think this is a steal of a deal. I guess it provides him some financial security and more money than he could ever dream of.

Hey cmon - that's 'load management' just like Kawhi ... Dickenson realized that the Riders were completely outclassed and decided to rest the league's best running back in anticipation of a game they could actually win... brilliant and classy... just amazing really.

You don’t have those six, seven, eight guys you know are going to be around and who want to be around who form the core of your team. This has become somewhat of a journeyman league, which doesn’t necessarily bode well for fan interest.” - Hervey Sounds rough... just can't keep a team core together anymore... says the guy who raided everyone else's free agents to build a giant mess

You just want to see it so that you can watch a real nutlicker at work.

I don't know how we can reasonably compare two quarterbacks on one series of plays. Had Nichols been the QB on the fist series we don't know what his first play would have been. How can we compare his situation to Streveler. Nichols might not have gotten sacked on the first play and could have been 1 and 10, 2 and 5 or with his propensity for throwing the ball away 2 and 10. Also, Nichols might have completed the two passes to Wolitarsky. Sometimes I get the feeling our good fortune is not good enough for some. Why go to so much trouble to equate a raw rookie with an experienced pro?

Hes a down to earth Canadian kid from the Prairie ish region.

Thats a fantastic deal.

Wow!! What a deal! This is huge.

Sean Lemon.

Jets have signed Morrissey to an extension. 8 years. $50 Million. $6.25 AAV. Well done, Chevy. Feels like this will be a steal.

Nice, unfortunately some people on this website have no clue though. I don't dislike Streveler and actually like him a lot and hope he develops into a starting QB for us but saying he's better than Nichols after one good game is insanity.

List the other teams who blew cap space on an uncoachable punter just so they could have an our boy who made it big comes home story. Go.

In this day & age, money usurps loyalty. If a bigger contract is available then players leave. Even if they love playing for the old team they were with. They are always one hit away from leaving the game permanently so they have to do what they need to do financially. Longer term contracts are what is needed.

Riders might be able to handle the 80s Allouettes this week. A lot of those guys would be in their 60s now.

Oh dear, your game summary gave me a boner.

So.... How about that ******* beat down of the riders! Start off with a 107yrd 8;30 minute opening drive for a TD! A smothering defence. Willie J in FULL effect! Sacks! Fumbles! A 21yrd Streveler the Leveller taking on no less than 8 riders! Micah, trucks through Judge- tosses Edem to the side what a run! Grant busting through some tackles and Boom 4th TD of the game and most certainly the Dagger into the chest of rider nation Willie J untouched taking out fajita!!!!! What a Great game!!!!! So if you boys wanna keep fecal flinging maybe take it to PM cuz we should be talking about the above.

Yes, he's been deliberately injuring himself since he joined the CFL. 😉

Nichols's fine win loss record is a complete mirage.....it was either our OL, Harris or Lapo directly responsible, Matt was merely a bystander. He has been injuring himself, ever since his Edmonton days.....

This might be one of the worst takes I’ve read here in quite some time... rider fans excluded (obviously)...

I watched this 2 part documentary last night on how China is implementing and executing their expansion into neighbouring countries, it's quite insidious. I'm curious to know more about their projects in the oil sands and whether they have basically employed the same tactics within Canada already.

Lol...yup..Rod Penison at his finest

You’ve picked a player that does’t help your point. Adam Bighill is the reigning Most Outstanding Defensive Player in the CFL. But your free to post what you like.

I think if you read any of my non-Nichols posts and stopped clutching your pearls, you’d find a hell of a lot of positivity. But you’ve historically shown a rather significant lack of awareness and desire to only read and see what you want to see. I guess positivity only counts if it’s pro-Nichols positivity.

Stadium going to be a quarter full?

Ryan's returnable punts are returns an average of 18.9 yards. Medlock's are returned 8.2 yards. Ryan's punting average is 50.6 whereas Medlock's is 43.9. Whether Ryan likes it or not, Taylor's numbers don't lie.

speaking of men playing boys... had to watch this clip over and over while making the animated gif and I enjoyed it more each time

This just confused me further... but there's no way I'm not using it at work tomorrow

He's busy crusading for Muricans' rights to keep using shitty incandescent light bulbs.
