Here’s the reality with Nichols ... he had a better than average (for him) night and tossed up three balls that were good looking - one to Lawler for a nice little gain, one to Woli that was just not executed and one to Matthews that the CGY DB made a good play on.
Rest of the game? Safe garbage. So predictable. Not scaring anyone. Not stomp on your throat, smash mouth, prove you can stop us, not nothing. Equal parts LaPolice and Nichols go into the conversation of why our O is so inept, but no matter what blame you wanna place where, the reality is our offense sucks.
Matthews didn’t forget how to play wideout, Lucky Whitehead hasn’t suddenly just forgotten how to be a weapon ... etc, etc, etc. We don’t use our weapons. If Grant doesn’t put two in the end zone tonight, we lose handily. Our O has been **** for a minimum of three games and the combo of play calling / QB play is showing absolutely zero signs of improvement. We may finish 13-5 but this year is not going to be a Grey Cup year.
as an aside, I always find it funny that people will crap on Willie Jefferson and justify it by singling out the odd notable play here and there when he isn’t elite but they’ll turn a blind eye to how atrociously mediocre Nichols is.

As long as O'Shea and Walters can keep the team in the vicinity of first place every year in the West as the Stamps have for the past decade not sure how much more can be demanded of them.  Playoffs are a crap shoot, but odds are if they can accomplish the first objective they should be able to win a G.C. at least once every 4 years, it seems reasonable to expect that they claim their first within the next two years.

I don't think O'Shea is in much danger of being fired anytime soon. There are things I wish he did differently but I'm in no rush to go back to the way things were before he (along with Miller/Walters) got here.

Just curious as to why you think that is? I don't think being a CFL fan should preclude you from liking the NFL or vice versa. I've been a die-hard Bomber/CFL fan since I was a kid and feel the same way about the NFL despite the differences between the leagues. I understand having a preference between leagues but I don't see it as some form of treason to the CFL because I like the NFL.

All good - I was just genuinely curious to what your viewpoint was on it. We will agree to disagree on the definition of diehard/hardcore CFL fan but I see where you are coming from. For me, whatever I can do to fill my time with more football is time well spent.
And I won't call you crazy, I'll leave that determination up to you (and any voices in your head)😀

That's "business casual" in Regina. 

Unfortunately over the last few year's that #1 overall pick is about as valuable as stock in Blockbuster video.

I don't think Nichols needs to prove anything to a bunch of keyboard warriors. A win is a win. 

I hope we keep giving Lawler a chance to prove himself and settle in to a role in this offense. After the first Argo game he became somewhat of a polarizing figure around these parts but I like what he brings to the offense as an over the middle compliment to DA/Demski/Matthews.

I might be letting my Lawler fan card speak for me but I think he's a starting receiver for the rest of the year. Whitehead to be more of a utility guy/returner when the dust settles. Still very much utilized tho

At the very least, even if Matthews balls out the next few weeks with Adams out it will be nice to know where we stand with depth in the receiver corps. As the season goes on, we will likely need to rely on guys like Lawler/Bailey at some point.

With Adams on the shelf, Lawler has 6-games to prove himself. Bailey should get a real shot too!

Again, it's just my own personal thing, but I feel like those who are STRICTLY CFL/CIS are more hardcore than those who are just football fans, and will watch all football, regardless. I am perfectly fine with being seen as crazy on this (I'm used to it) but it's 100% how I feel...

Funny, me too... I jumped on the band wagon as a youngster watching the Warner-Faulk greatest show on turf.... the last few years I've been torn... they're finally good again, which is great... but I hate cheering for a team in a major market (and yes, I realize they were originally from LA)... 

Exactly. It doesn't make you less of a CFL fan to like the NFL as well. Hell I watched an AAF game earlier this year because I wasn't ready for football season to end.
The NFL saves me from the drudgery of a January-February NHL schedule. I've been a Rams fan since 1999 so it's been a long time since the NFL has been fun for me to watch from a fan standpoint but the explosion of fantasy football is why so many people latch on to the NFL.
