The trick is, make sure the Canadians you start can actually friggin play the game. Its tough to get 7 solid starters, never mind 10.

Shivers made the mistake of letting Davis run around. He's a nothing as a qb, should have made him stand there and throw, same a s Masolli.   We sat in zone too much and we got scorched on it. Shivers will get better, I hope, but I feel the majority of the loss sits at his feet.  Offense looked good, but its just one game. We lost and that's all that matters. We lost 2 winnable games against two bad teams

He definitely looks over whelmed.  But to listen to his interviews, he makes it sound like its no big deal.  What people say and what people do are two different things.  What they do is a window to the soul.  So far he looks over his head.  BUT lets be honest, other coaches have been down this road too.  That's why I mentioned that we will have to wait and see what we have.  I didn't really want to hire him.  You can't hire a rookie head coach and not give him a fair opportunity to get things going his way. Two games is not enough time.  

That's a concern

regarding what?

Sask. is not the place to go for on-the job-training at the HC position. 
Dickenson will not survive long enough to grow any teeth.

1-0 starts tonight

He is just along for the ride.  Hand off to Harris and don't do anything dumb Matt. Don't try to throw too many passes , we don't want any turnovers. 

Stats are funny aren't they.  They can tell a story many different ways, just depends how we want to look at them. I am glad you are happy with Matt, its just another year running the sands of time out of Harris's career.  

How do we know Adam and Eve were Mennonite?   Who else would be in a garden with a naked woman and be tempted by a piece of fruit

They look mortal this year.  Been a long time since we could say that. Hate to say it as a Riders fan but you have a potential shot at being a first place team this year.  Injuries and what not, but definitely the best shot in recent years I would say.  Lots of football to play yet. 

I really enjoy your never ending put downs towards the Riders, I can see everyone else here does too.  I guess if I was a Tigercat fan, I too would want to talk about everything else but my team.  For all your Chris Jones jokes, he was over 500 2 out of 3 years he was here, 27-27 record.  Your team not once over 500 in a soft east division with a 21-33 record, in fact your Grey cup drought is only 9 years less than the current one the Bombers are on.   For you Bomber fans over same 3 year period the Bombers are a very respectable 33-21 in a tough west division.   So without further ado, I'll return you to your put downs and half truths.... 

As if we want any rehab...

He is doing great, no reason not to be super excited. If having a guy who's only job is to not f-up and hand it off to Harris is the definition of success for you, fill your boots.  

Nichols is what he is.  I'm happy for you that he fits the bill for your team.  Moderately successful. I am very supportive of Nichols having a long career with the Bombers.

Was it 2 or 3? I want to say he blew out one knee twice and the other knee once. Either way, forget armchair qb that guy was a wheel chair qb when he arrived. 
The rider fans have been seething and calling for blood and it has gotten to the point that its kind of softening the blow of how dirty he is as a player. 
Hes been cruising for a bruising for a long time. 
If this ended up being his last season in the cfl, i wouldnt be disappointing or surprised. The refs are going to be watching him close and calling things a lot tighter with him now. When you operate on the edge, you can go belly up in a hurry.
