Winnipeg finally surpasses Calgary and we are gonna panic?

If Nichols is done for the season I would fully expect that he’s no longer going to be our starting quarterback. To me this was a make or break year for him. He needs to get it done this season.

Welcome here.. Just curious what your main gripes are with the NFL. I mean there's quite a few potential candidates in my mind

A box of tape was traded for 3 jock straps.

I heard that Jeff Knox Jr. had been released today. Where did you hear about JSK?

Has Glenn been contacted by the ticats yet?

Grant had pretty good results in pre-season for the ticats. 1 punt return for 14 yards and 5 kickoff returns for 120 yards. Lets hope he kept his playbook.

If the guy is still in shape.. I feel like Crockett already left enough puke on our turf last night

If Demski is out for any period of time here we are going to bring in another Canadian receiver. I wonder if Dylan Schrot will be brought back again. More lives than a cat that guy!

Any word on Lucky Whitehead's injury.. It looked like a collarbone to me. Chris Matthews might have a role again pretty quickly if Whitehead is out.

Yeah and the previous game he didn't get that many touches but a lot of what Winnipeg was doing fed off all the extra attention he was receiving.

Whitehead has become too valuable as a starting receiver to handle all the return duties as well.

I don’t see JJ doing all that well in this style of offense. I don’t think he makes his reads quick enough. I’d send the best early and often and see how he handles it.

They have to also punish the team with fines and draft picks for such a scandal.

Not surprised by this.. They seemed to have an unlimited amount of funds to spend on players and also some team losses that were so large that it seemed fishy to me.

XFL?

Then man am I glad we have him.

Andrew Harris and Nichols didn’t play well. But we rode the overall talent of this team to a relatively easy win against potentially our biggest threat in the West. This could be a remarkable Blue Bombers team.

Clearly there were some teams who were not all that interested in him who fed some BS to 3downnation hoping that whoever ended up with him would over pay. If he was a top 15 calibre player in this past year's draft I think we would have seen a team propose a 2nd round pick for him. At least 5 CFL teams didn't think he was worthy of a 3rd round pick.

This is why he's such a great blocker. He can see multiple defenders coming from multiple directions at the same time!

Yeah Im concerned a bit about our defense. Our defense is predicated on having all the money up in the front 7. We will get a lot of pressure but against a quick timing offense like this you have to have good coverage early on in the play so I guess we will have to wait and see what happens. Key is to chew clock on offense and score points and keep the Edmonton offense on the sidelines and put them in a position to have to press.

Wood you guys stop that!

Yeah but that's the problem with paying so much for a quarterback.. I see BC as being similar to Edmonton last year. Reilly will put up some big numbers but at the end of the year they will as a team be lucky to make the playoffs.

BC wasn't the biggest test for our young offensive lineman. But man were they dominant and impressive. When you see guys like Willis complaining and getting mad at the refs for all the little things these offensive lineman are getting away with its just a really good sign. There will be bigger tests out there than BC but this group is only going to get better and they absolutely dominated BC on the inside run. Am i the only one who wants to see Nuefeld take his time in getting healthy and maybe remain in a backup role even then?

The thing that worries me is when O'Shea goes dark on a Pat Neufeld injury who knows how long the guy could be out. He could be week to week for the whole season. I guess Winnipeg is gonna use this game to evaluate Gray, Speller, Couture and if need be start an american guard in week 3 after the bye.
