I guess I'll continue my planning of the parade!   The saviour is on his way!  

200+ rushing for Stanback and 4 INT's & no TD's for MBT... that pretty much tells the tale right there.  Stanback was a beast tonight!

it wasn't challenged, or league reviewed (which is a shame, that should have come back).  How the Argos video crew didn't tell Dinwiddie to throw the flag is an embarrassment.  Even in live speed, I thought the receiver grabbed his collar. Ended up being his hair, but the result should have been the same and the play overturned and penalty applied.

I think the Argos are going to run the table the rest of the way.... their game against the TiCats week 15 might not even mean anything if they take care of their next 3 opponents.
To start the year I thought the Argos would be fighting off a crossover for 3rd spot and it would be the Als & TiCats fighting it out for first.  Been a far different outcome so far!

PVR the HNIC and take in the glorious first place coronation in person. 

Don't say Nichols!

So other than offence, defence, kicking game, and return game, we are fine!
Whew. (What’s our record again?)

The UFL!....*checks message from agent*.....C-FL, CFL!!!

Tbh RE: Harris ejection, it seems there are two sets of rules for players... If you are an All Star (i.e. Harris) you aren't gonna get ejected. What he did definitely warranted it.
Reminds me of Vernon Adams Jr. Attempting to hit Bighill with his helmet last year when Montreal came back against us and we lost in spectacular fashion (but also clinched a playoff spot)

This is Leaf type hate.

Mildly intoxicating, refreshing when served ice cold. 

maybe they think their net losses overall can be deducted from the salary cap total?  will be interesting to see how many fans show up for their first game this season!

I'm a little late to the party here, but for those saying that Nichols was the best QB in the league in 2019... how quickly we forget that the first 8 weeks of the season were against extremely weak competition.  Only 1 team had a winning record (Hamilton) and they lost against them.  Playing Ottawa, BC, Toronto the bulk of the early schedule, of course he had a winning record.   That game they lost to Toronto 28-27, to me, was the epitome of what we had with Nichols at QB.  Just a guy who couldn't get it done when the stakes were at their highest.   169 yards passing this game, and even with Harris going for over 150 on the ground, couldn't keep the lead.   The defence even bailed them out with a turnover with 1:44 left.  What does the Nichols led offence go out and do, when all they need is a first down to all but ice the game.  2 & out.  This, during what some are saying when he was 'at his best' ?  Please.

Matty Ice?  More like Ice Cold.   There's a reason they needed Medlock with him at QB, because he couldn't finish drives.
Nichols, after 2017 when there was enough film out there on him and our offence, declined big time.  Even his 2017 numbers were propped up big time, dumping it off to Harris 105 times that season.   Easy to have a great completion percentage when you throw the ball 3 yards.
That said, he's gone and no longer our QB. I finally got my wish!  I had honestly thought he had played his last CFL game when he got hurt mid-season here in 2019.  He had a decent couple seasons, that was it.  Not a guy that's going to the hall of fame by any stretch!

I have to say, this is 1000% better than the info we got before. To think, it took gambling money for the CFL (and CFLPA) to treat it's fans a bit better.

Yes he did,  it wasn't AS bad but it wasn't much different.   He was skipping balls in the dirt,  turning receivers because he couldn't hit them in stride and was only able to do quick hitters.    Every off seasons since then the story was "Nichols worked out big time in the gym and has added additional strength."   That was the cover up story for his limp noodle arm and his terrible mobility.       The guy sadly was done years ago,    the drop off was on par if not even higher then when Khari got hurt and couldn't make the throws that he had made in his prime. 
TSN listed Matt's winning %....  a whole lot of those wins were because of a rock solid D and having the best o-line and RB in the league.   The win % was as misleding as Bishop's one year where he went 12-1 or whatever it was.  

So you will finally admit that the guy since his 2018 injury is absolutely dog **** garbage and stop pretending it's Lapo's gameplan?   
Yes everyone will agree that Nichols was a nice guy and loyal and is tough and a good person....  nothing bad with his personality.
But dear lord he had 650+ days off and his arm still can barely muster a 5 yard pass.   Physically he looked so weak and looked like he should be an accountant rather then a QB. 
If I'm an Ottawa fan I'm livid that they traded for him instead of MBT.   The guy is exactly how he was in 2018 and 2019 which was playing terrified and scared and physically is so shot that he can't do anything. 
On his 5 sacks easily 3 of them could of been avoided.  He had once again WIDE open receivers but he plays so scared that he can only do a quick hitter or look at his first read and then turtle and crumple up.  
Even Barker pointed out that the guy has a noodle arm and accuracy just like in 2018 - 2019 is way off where receivers are never hit in stride and have to jump backwards to make the catch. 
The only blame on LaPo should be that the brought him in as a starting QB and then kept Davis as his back up.    LaPo's loyality is going to cost him his 2nd coaching gig and if he doesn't pull the plug in week 3 and move on and desperately try to find someone else. Lapo might not even last the season.   
Nichols starting for the CFL in 2021 is an embarassment on the league.  Retire the guy ASAP before he cripples himself.  
 
 

Why hasn't he signed?! I want to know his status NOW!
NOW! NOW! NOW!
What's he trying to get the best possible deal for himself like an idiot or something?  People on a CFL message board DEMAND ANSWERS. 😫

Come on down to Willypeg?

you should have heard the excuse I got from the Bomber store early in the season why my brand new jersey wasn't "Wear what the Players Wear".  Was then told that I could buy one of the players game worn jerseys at the end of the season if I wanted the one with the Blue shoulders.
