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. 

I think any logical fan knew Collaros wasn't going to play all year.  He was damaged goods. I don't think that excuses the hit, if anything it probably encouraged it to a certain extent.  Odell Willis took him out last year and basically ended our season. For me it really bothered me to see it end that way for Zack.  Basically the last 2 games of his career he took nasty head shots and the league did nothing about it.  I agree a 2 game suspension is warranted and should not be pled down to a fine by the CFLPA.  Maybe other qb's wouldn't have been hurt on that hit, but you have to honestly ask yourself if want to roll the dice if Nichols is going to get up after that hit.  Or Better yet, What if Harris doesn't get up after that hit, your season would be over without him.  Its easy for people to dismiss things when their team isn't involved, but the league is a community. As a league are we ok with head shots on our qb's when they are sliding feet first?  Interesting incident in the Eskimo game, a Esk's player was flagged for basically same thing. When they showed the replay in slow motion you could see the player making a huge effort to NOT make head contact, which he didn't do. The flag was thrown in error as it turned out. It was a reminder to show how Lawrence mad zero effort to avoid contact with the head when he was in same situation.

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.

It would be very exciting for you guys if all the other teams don't game plan for Harris getting the ball.  Its like it was a surprise.

How any quarterback can absorb an illegal hit should not have anything to do with how the league should deal with the punishment.  I don't know why a guy who might suffer a concussion should be treated any differently than a guy who has never had one. The result of the hit should not be considered. 
Reviewing the play quite a few times I can not see how Lawrence can convince anyone he was going to tackle him. With the position of his arms that could not have happened.  It is hard to accept a player would go to injure a member player who like himself is trying to earn a living.  It's even harder to accept that the PA is not supporting the one hurt .

How many 300 yard games did Reilly have?  12.  How many did Nichols have?  1.  Which team ran the ball and which team passed down field with it?  Gable got his carries in games when they were ahead. Running the ball was never their game plan.  No different than yesterday.  Genius game planning by Ritchie to be ready to shut the run down.  They only tried 4 times, I guess you scared them off. Meanwhile Reilly had no problem picking you apart for another 300 yard game.  Dam lucky for you the BC receivers dropped about 10 passes or it would have been worse. 

When does a MIke Reilly team ever run the ball?  I don't see this as a major feat.  That's about the same as stopping NIchols from manning up and standing in the pocket and passing

Congrats on the win guys.  Happy fathers day to all of you out there that have done the deed.
