    Bit of a mix.....at the stadium the first 3 years or so, were with no notes, at all.    I do notes now....but depending how I feel, use different amounts of it......some times sitting at the computer....simple veer off in another direction (blame gin).   The road stuff has more editing as I am already typing and drinking, as game is in progress....
    Half in bag, not sure if is explains anything...

    We can only go by the present as the past is irrelevant considering the levels of play. The smart coach will go with the player who gives us the best chance to win consistently ultimately, this year it's been Nichols.

    Eternal optimist reacted to White Out in OK, it IS Willy ...   
    There's two clear minority camps who are talking the most about Willy and Nichols and their effects on the game, whether they admit it or not.
    After our first win against Hamilton folks like wbbfan had zero negative things to say about our lackluster 2nd half or, frankly, offensive production all game long. Not a peep about the turnovers and how lucky we were. Yet after this 2nd win against Hamilton, a far more dominant win, he and a couple others are keying in on that. It strikes me as a bit hypocritical but in the context of Willy and Nichols it makes sense. They're so convinced Willy is the man, and of his SSK hype and first 5 games that they're willing to look for flaws in Nichols they ignored in Willy. 
    It actually is incredibly frustrating to no end to read.

    I too was left speechless after that awesome performance by Nichols last night.

    Anyone else hate that whenever the Bombers do well, we give them some stupid nickname ... instead of Swaggerville, Willypeg or Matt-nitoba, can't we just be the Blue Bombers?

    I also just want to add, that the Bombers are not a joke. Jokes are funny and this isn't funny.

    Eternal optimist got a reaction from TBURGESS in Matt Nichols to start in Edm.   
    Anyone else feeling this is obviously a decision forced upon O'Shea from above him? He seemed pretty adamant that Willy was the starter prior to this, and I find it hard to believe Nichols' play against Calgary warrants a start.
    Personally I don't think it really matters who starts at QB, only way we beat Edmonton is if they shoot themselves in the foot enough times for us to scrounge some points off turnovers.

    Why stop there? Amend the rules and double the value of all points scored in the 4th quarter...we'd be unstoppable!

    They'll probably want to look at the film first before deciding to can O'Shea if there's a blow out.

    Eternal optimist got a reaction from Mr Dee in Rebuild # 32769: Kick Us When We're Down Edition   
    A season ticket holder commits to 18 games of frustration (I guess possibly more if you include playoffs and preseason), about $1,400 (assuming 2 seats, could be a bit more or less) and the time and energy to commit going to each of the home games. I wasn't trying to offend, just lighten the mood. I'm a season ticket holder as well and I'm tired of seeing our team looking (again) like we're just not at the same level as the other teams.

    Yeah talk about deja vu offensive schemes. The year thus far has reminded me of our 2011 'Swaggerville' team just without the awesome D. At least we have better uniforms, we've been losing but we've looked fantastic doing it.

    Under this logic - doesn't that mean all Blue Bomber season ticket holders are insane?

    As someone possessing a degree in statistics, I must respectfully disagree with the title of this thread. That said, most statistics (especially sport statistics) can be easily manipulated to suit one's needs... such as making the Bombers woeful offense look a lot better in the numbers categories than it has been through two games.
