I would agree.  Probably going to sound like this.
Bob: Welcome to the coaches show, as usual, we have Bombers Head Coach Mike O'Shea with us.  Mike, that was quite a game on Friday.  But before we get into it, let's take a quick break for commercials
- 20 minutes later - 
Bob: So Mike, any thoughts on the way your team played on Friday?
Mike: Well, I was fairly happy.  Matt looked sharp and we...
Bob: Sorry to cut in Mike but we need to take a break.  We'll be right back...
- 10 minutes later - 
Bob:  We have a caller, Terry from Calgary, what's your question?
Terry:  Bombers suck, life sucks, all is darkness and sorrow .  <click>
Bob: Ummm, that wasn't a question.  So Mike, any update on the injury situation with Adam Bighill or Lucky Whitehead?
Mike: As usual, we're not going to talk abou...
Bob:  Sorry again Mike but it's time for another quick break.
- 15 minutes later -
Bob: we're back with Bomber head coach Mike O'Shea and we have another caller.  Chip what's your question for Coach O'Shea?
Chip: When are you gonna cut Nichols.  He's bad.  I know he's bad.
Mike: Umm, we're 5-0 right now so...
Chip: Doesn't matter.  He's bad.  Not one 300 yard passing game.  Cut him
Mike: Probably not going to do that
Chip:  You got a bunch of bad players there Mike.  Give me a call some time and I'll go over it with you. My number is 204 <click>
Bob: We seem to have lost Chip
Mike:  What a shame.
Bob: We have 1 more caller, I didn't get his name.  Caller are you there?
Caller: I love Big Chris!  Big Chris, he's so dreamy.
Bob: So do you have a question?
Caller:  BIG CHRIS <click>
Bob: Well, we've only got about 12 minutes left and 15 minutes worth of commercials, so we're going to have to wrap things up.  Thanks Mike.
Mike: Your wel...
- more bloody commercials -
 

I was thinking the same thing in live time. Even as the play was developing I was bracing for impact from my seat in the stands  and then Jones moved out of the way to go for a pick as if he was expecting the ball to be overthrown. 
I had some doubts about Hecht but a few games in and I really like the way he plays the safety position. The way he plays opposing receivers need to be thinking about where he is at all times before catching a ball over the middle.

Better offensive coordinators are what the league needs in my opinion. Watching the entire BC receiving corp running deep routes over and over with not a single option for Reilly to throw to within 20 yards of the LOS (even when it was obvious the BC O-line was getting killed) was painful to watch.

Hecht would of broken Edwards in two on his TD catch.

I know it was an ugly win but I'm surprised people are this angry. We won on an off night by making big plays when we needed to and getting touchdowns instead of field goals all while keeping a powerful Edmonton offence out of the endzone.
I agree that if we play like this every night we probably don't win very often but I'm not ready to hit the panic button yet. I'm thrilled to be 2-0 and first in the West even though it is early.

Instead of trying to call plays in audibly we should also come up with some nifty sideline signals to fight the crowd noise. I got the idea from the same source that supplied your stellar winning tactic:

Are you 12 years old or something?  There is respect from men that play contact sports. With 8 seconds left, the game was over. It was a garbage POS thing to do. It may have been slightly accidental, but don't crack jokes about it, he was hurt and it could have been a lot worse.  He was out cold before he even hit the ground, he never braced himself for the fall and his head bounced off the ground. Its a bit frustrating watching two of our qb's two games in a row take vicious head shots like that and not even see a flag get thrown. I'm sure you won't mind if Singleton does that next week to Nichols or Harris. Ambrosie can save his bullshit lip service about player safety for some other group of fans

I agree. It always feels to me that they are just hedging their bets and giving the command center a potential reprieve for blowing an obvious call, which happens way too often.

Depth chart
   

To me it looked as much mental as physical. Nichols was hesitant and confused since the beginning of the season and it all culminated in those two horrible games against the Riders. It did not turn around until the bye week where he went home and reprogrammed his head.

From my observations as well I think this game showed that Nichols was truly playing hurt earlier in the year and played a large part in his innefectiveness and uncharacteristic play. 
He was able to escape pressure in tight in the pocket to either make a play..or extend a play...especially on the shovel to Harris where he  got that first down on that crazy run. Earlier in the year he would have just turtled down or just get swallowed up.
Also notice his throws now are more crisp..decisive and deliberate as he can drop.. set..plant and fire..before he just couldn't.. and it showed..

I've watched nearly every game this year and the Saskatchewan O-line gets away with more holding than any other team by a long shot.

cheering for the Riders is never an option. 

If we lose to Calgary however then we are in what is essentially a one game playoff with Edmonton in the final game of the season where the winner makes the playoffs and the loser sees their season end, right?
