Don't believe anything that Rod Pedersen tweets.

Perhaps that tweet deserves it own thread!

No wonder the Riders get so excited and play well when visiting other cities...any other city

Source... Rod Pedersen...  'nuff said

Captain Contrarian is able to do his Bruce Lee imitation and take on 3-4 guys at once.  If anything makes him ecstatic it has everything to do with arguing and very little to do with the Bombers.  

What I can die happy now I proved Tburg wrong.

Contrarians gotta contrary... 

And yet, you're among the first here whining when Nichols was "losing" us games.
As usual, you say whatever to fit whatever narrative you want. 
 
You said this a month ago but are saying now that wins are team stats. 

Nah, what's funny is the amount of assbleed you have over the celebration.

Yeah but Nichols didnt have 300 yards so the W doesnt really count..... 😂😂

All three offensive touchdowns were not a result of a turn overs on Saturday. They were drives of 72 yards 63 yards and 65 yards.

If the player is having fun, doesn’t get a stupid taunting call, for me it’s all just entertainment. Watching highlight reels of celebrations is a perfectly legitimate “best of...” programming. By golly, it’s even fun getting angry when the other side pisses me off with a celly, but it’s  still entertainment. 

They’re not the same.
Jefferson was showboating. Nichols was mimicking a crowd favourite. An inside joke as it were. A lot of people didn’t know that walk, myself included. 
A lot of people didn’t like it. My fellow watchers just laughed it off. 
Knowing the background helps. It was a funny 😆 
Others have mimicked Arceneaux’s strut. No offence meant, none taken.
Time to lighten up.

Matt Nichols doesn't have a 300 yard game
Well - we run the ball, a lot, we lead the league in all-purpose rushing yards (1,979, 2nd is SSK with 1,608). We're also 1st in rushing attempts (348, 2nd SSK with 318)
Nichols never throws TD passes
He has 15 TDs (5th in league), and the Bombers run the ball often in the red zone, his lower TD pass total is attributable to the fact we lead the league in rushing TDs (19, 2nd is TOR with 16). Also he has only played 13 of 16 games due to injury this year.
Nichols can't throw deep
Can't, or LaPo just doesn't call for it? We are dead last in team attempts of 20+ yards (70, most is CGY with 115), but to be honest, besides Adams, who is our deep threat? As for being unable to throw them - his completion % is 30.8%, Reilly on the other hand is 42.0% (best is actually Masoli with 46.7%),
Our offense leads the league in scoring and TD's and is 2nd to only EDM in 1st downs (339 vs 336) and you're calling for the head of the guy who runs it? I don't understand how Nichols draws such criticism and ire from his own fan base, especially after we hang 31 points on arguably one of the better defensive units in the league.

Nichols was good in this game. You really have to remember that from the very get go it was clear that the Riders offence was not going to do much, they damned near threw a pick 6 on the first play and then the defense did get a score and the offense followed it up with the bomb to Adams, and then the next times they got into scoring range they put Streveler in for their change of pace and got TDs out of that. That does take away the potential for Nichols to pad the stats. 
The guy did what he needed to do. Didn't make any stupid throws, moved the ball a bit when he had to, showed some confidence and swagger and took a 31 point lead into half time, after which the Bombers just shut it down completely and took 0 risks knowing it was already in the bag. 

It’s hilarious that Strevler has more touchdown passes than Collaros this year. 

Why must there always be posters who look for the dark lining in silver clouds?

Nicholls looked more comfortable and was actually going through his reads...  this is what made me feel better.   Regardless of the stats he wasn't making stupid throws into double coverage and at times checked down his receivers and tossed the ball away.   

Just listened to Collaros's post game interview..... takes no responsibility and wants to see the film first.   Riders may have a real problem here

A fan of a team with Jefferson..... worried about Nichols's cocky walk? 
How precious.... 
 
 
 
 

I'm pretty sure that strut was aimed at Willy Jefferson and was intentionally mocking his strut from the B.B. debacle.  As I understand it they are actually friends from their time together in Edm., so none of this should be taken very seriously.  It was good to see Nichols shed his bout of mid-season gloom.

Yeah, I doubt Matt Nichols gives a wet fart what you think or what advice you can offer. Even when the guy does something well (throwing the long ball is hardly his strength), you have to poke holes in it and resort to needless and over-the-top criticism. Give it a rest.
He had every right to celebrate that TD and there was nothing wrong with it, so quit being butthurt about it and enjoy the win - the win Nichols helped the team get.

He threw a seventy yard touchdown you do that only a few times a year. Big play big celly love it!!!!

Now I understand his intent.

Probably the only way to stand living in Regina is to be half shitfaced.
