He took a helmet on the side of the knee from a player at full speed that isn’t brittle. If you go back and look it is shocking he doesn’t get hurt more. The last time he was knocked out of a game he took a very hard head shot.

He's not wrong. Remember how people were asking for the the head of Marcel B or  Berry? They had similar head coaching records. MOS has a middling record and hasn't even managed to win a playoff game. Yet people seem to think that this team is somehow better than their record and can win out. What makes people think that? What makes you think that MOS has earned to continue his middling ways?

I say it comes down to the front 7. Wrap him up and don't let him escape and extend plays you're good. That's what killed em in  game 1.

Despite the win against the hapless Larks, I cannot see the Bombers winning more than one, at most two, of the remaining games even if Harris and Demski are back in the lineup. After nearly 50 years of watching, wishing and hoping, I've seen enough to be realistically pessimistic about this year's edition. Our NI talent is very good and the whole team is better than it has shown, but the whole is less than the sum of its parts and its not all Nichols.

Oh please. He found guys when he needed to and even moved more than he has all year. He didn’t force the ball once and only ate a sack twice. 0 ints 1 TD and a 118 efficiency rating you don’t get that if you are making bad decisions.

And I assume you think Streveler would have done better? Based on what? The one game he threw for over 300 yards? I agree that Streveler offers some skills that Nichols doesn’t excel at but people here have highly over-sold his production so far.

Darvin adams flat out dropped that deep ball. The throw by Nichols was fine. 

Unlike the Bomber game against Ottawa where the Bombers had 11 penalties and kept Ottawa’s drives going, the Bombers had 1 penalty in this game. They stuck to football.
Kudos!

Nichols was really good in the 1st half and overall it was a better game for him.

Watching that game how can people really pin it all on Nichols when it's plain as ******* day that lapo calls the worst game ever. Yeah he can draw up a good looking offence but the man has no sense of how to call a game. 

With Hardrick back and continuing with 3 import receivers Flanders will sit. I don’t even know why they even played him last week when they totally misused him and his skill set. Personally, I would like to see Thompkins  sit and Petermann and Flanders on the starting roster.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing.

the biggest lie in the history of sports.

I'd rather see 1 or 2 legit top American  receivers and the  the canadians cause the Canucks can play. I trust them more than the Americans.

Is it though? Lulay took the starting job back from Jennings, only reason ray isn't starting in Toronto is injury and an older QB replaced the hotshot you guy there. Hamilton stuck with a more experienced guy in masoli rather and go for Manziel, riders went with experienced collaros over Bridge. 
Honestly who are these teams giving young qbs a chance over experience?

Like I said Roh was a good signing. I knew that Westerman wasn’t coming back but they didn’t do enough to fill the gap and they cut a bunch of other guys leaving them shallow on the d-line. I just don’t understand their reasoning on this at all

How about a positive thread for a change...
Fritz Hanson - the first superstar in Bomber history and one of the all-time greats from the early days of Canadian football - will be inducted to the Ring of Honour.

They called him ‘Twinkletoes’, the ‘Perham Flash’ and the ‘Galloping Ghost’, and every nickname just seemed to perfectly describe his enthralling skillset.
Melvin ‘Fritz’ Hanson was the first superstar in the history of the Winnipeg Football Club, pre-dating all the legends in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ long and storied history, arriving decades before Stegall and Roberts, Ploen, Lewis, Gray, Tinsley, Brown, Brock, James and Walby. Hanson – the 2018 inductee into the club’s Ring of Honour – first appeared on the local football scene in 1935 during the Great Depression – spurring a $1,000 offer from the New York Giants to sign in Winnipeg instead for $800 along with a new overcoat and the chance to be close to his hometown in Perham, Minnesota.
And he instantly put the franchise on Canada’s sporting map.
The ‘Winnipegs’ – as they were known then, before the nickname ‘Blue Bombers’ was hung on them by Free Press sportswriter Vince Leah – had fallen in the Grey Cup semi-final in 1933 and were just 3-4 a year later when the Bombers added Hanson.
The game was changing then, with more American college players migrating north to Canada and passing coming into vogue.
Long overdue but I'm glad it's finally happening.
 
 
 
 

Well, I have to wonder is it that we have crappy receivers or is there something in their instructions of what to do when our QB is in trouble. Whether it is Streveler or Nichols and they roll out or not why is it we don’t have the guys finding the gaps. 
Is Loffler really a crappy safety or how is he being instructed? To me he isn’t the first safely we have had in the last few years that is invisible in the pass defence scheme. 
What the flock has happened to our Oline? They allow Jefferson to step back from the line into the passing lane unchallenged while two linemen watch. 
Has our HC deluded our players into thinking that everything is right and rosey when it is clear to many fans and “experts” they have their issues. A few years ago I couldn’t determine if it was insufficient playing or coaching that was killing us. Last year, despite the finish I thought we had most if not all the pieces to win. Now I just don’t know for sure because there just seems to be no transparency or visible leadership on this team aside from our local boys like Harris and Demski
