Riders have become the greatest team of all time, will win out the rest of the season, Bombers will falter and become the cross-over team, Riders-Bombers Grey Cup, Riders win by 100 points and are automatically awarded two Grey Cups??

The biggest concern I have moving forward is can Nichols win the big game? Its fine and dandy to light up garbage teams in week 5 but when has he performed the same way in big games? Banjo bowl meltdown, zero playoff wins other than a performance to forget in barely eeking out the win in sask last year against a backup QB, and now last nights first place showdown shitshow. Im really starting to wonder if he has the mental toughness to block out all the distractions and just perform. This to me is a huge concern.

I don't think its a bullshit question at all. He has a history of playing poorly in "big" hyped up games. I didn't question his ability which he clearly has, im questioning his mental toughness when all eyes are on him. Its almost like he gets too amped up in big games and is sailing balls all over the field while trying to force things which leads to poor decisions. Until he can win the big games while playing at his highest level there will and should be questions.
And please, last night he was junk, even he admitted it and he had one good drive. Don't **** in my hand and tell me its ice cream. After his one TD drive he went back to happy feet check down Matt. Even when we needed to drive the field with under a minute left he was double clutching on longer throws opting to complete 6 yard passes...Like really? Your not going to 6 yard pass your way down the field from our 15 with 45 seconds left. At some point you need to take a shot. You're scared to throw a pick?? The game is over if you don't try dude, you've gotta take a shot at some point.

That's what gets me.... Hamilton bad vs th run and Winnipeg a great running team... so of course lapo comes out throwing. He is the God damned dumbest smart coach out there.

I can think of the BC game a few years ago, yes he was good, but the great ones find a way to win right?

That is what worries me.... if Nichols starts the grey cup game with some two an outs .....  I'm not sure he can handle that pressure

It is games like this that make it so frustrating to watch Nichols..not because he had a poor game,he did but it happens. It is more for me that they have a  BACKUP qb that can mix it up when Nichols is struggling and MOS refuses to do so. But MOS aint ever gonna change so we lose when our QB is sub par. We lost we move on..better Nichols has the odd poor game now rather than later....

Are you for real? 

Just a great man. Rain or shine he always had time for anybody that wanted to chat him up. And always with a kind word and smile on his face. Just a great man.

And I like to think MBB can always strive to be like him. And pay heed to the idea to be kind, like it’s nothing special...

He is MBB

I've seen the Bombers play some awful football over the years, so if they wanna blow out everyone the rest of the year, they can go right ahead. Somehow, I'll find a way to manage............

this is completely where I'm at....there's a lot of people worked up that he's not playing, and some going so far as to "blame" MOS for some egregious mistake of not playing him, and I'm like "Why??" Where do we need him right now?

I honestly don't really care about Chris Matthews right now.
He has missed basically the whole season and we are doing just fine.
He is not someone who has shown to be a proven commodity for us. He has barely been able to get on the field
