the CFL and the NFL are not the same.
you can win with stout defense for sure, lots of teams have done it, but you're playing with fire when you always need your D to generate 3 or 4 turn overs a game.
i'm just trying to make a point that if your defense can create enough turnovers or force enough 2 and outs, our special teams can create field position and our offence doesn't need to be elite.

The Denver Broncos are still a playoff team if they score one touchdown a game on offence.

Not true. Played the Esks tight twice and the Stamps both times. Only the Cats and Larks blew us out.
we beat the Esks and lost close to the Stamps with Willy and a horrible o-line at the time. Gonna be a good game next time we meet them

If this hypothetical offense goes an entire game without a first down there is no other way to look at it, our offense needed to play better. There are a lot of inches in the mile it takes to win a game. I don't understand why anyone is content to simply say 'as long as we're winning that's all that matters' and not see the value in analyzing how we got there, and how we could be doing even better.
if we win the grey cup with 0 yards on offense it was good enough.
We have won 6 games in a row. Until we lose i will not complain.
our offense is always working to improve i can personally guarantee that,

You CANT compare Bishop to Nichols. Yes Toronto had a great defense in 2007 but we all know Bishop had all the tools but couldn't read a defense. He barely completed 50 percent of his throws in his entire career, and had more INTS then Touchdowns, where Nichols has a quick release, he has a high completion percentage and he doesn't turn over the ball. Basically Toronto won on good defense, and letting Bishop occasionally connect by airing it out.
Personally I feel like our team is now set up in a good position to win today, but set up even better in the future with a 1st and 3rd round draft pick, and a talented DB under contract.im pretty sure they were inferring he is the opposite of Nichols

So basically you don't understand the game enough to synthesize and analyze it qualitatively or quantitatively.
If our D and special teams score 2 TD's and our offense doesn't get a first down we win 14-13, the offense didn't play well enough. There's analyzing the whole team, and analyzing the phases.
If the other team scores more points than us and our offense turned the ball over 7 times, why would you look at the defense?
Depends how you look at it, could have come up against a hot D with good gameplan. While there's always room for improvement, the bottom line is W's.

This is it. Unfortunately you're only as popular as your last F*** up
There will always be a small handful of fans that understand this! And there is going to be a much larger fan base that just pick on the negatives and don't see his work as a whole.
if there are fans who expect perfection from a CFL GM i urge you to please stop watching. Thanks.

MOS is a lock to be re-signed unless there are some drastic steps back in the second half of the season.

I agree. Nichols didn't do much scoring against the worst team in the league 2 weeks in a row, or the prior weeks leading up to it. I'm very leery about Bombers going with Glenn as a backup also. Still believe you guys were better off with Willy. Hope it works out.
Sask played a couple of very good games, this was their Grey Cup and our guys just keep plugging along. We've put up big numbers in the past against Hamilton and Toronto. with everything going back to normal i think we will see a little more offensive production this week.

It's pretty obvious Willy isn't as bad of a quarterback as some think.
We wouldn't have gotten the return we did for him if he lacked talent the way some of the members here have suggested.
Not as bad as some think, not as good as others think. Somewhere in the middle and im sure if you had a poll most fans are happy with Nichols. I really dont understand the constant second guessing.

Deliberate? The receivers meant to drop the balls? Drag them out into the street and shoot them!
At this point i see the Bombers as something close to a Kansas City Chiefs type team, great defense and Nichols is Alex 'Jesus' Smith. Pretty low offensive numbers but makes good decisions and doesn't typically throw interceptions.

Heath won't be playing this week, as Walters said in today's press conference he's not even here yet.
don't think schemes change that much and the guy is a veteran. If he gets a couple good days of practice i could see him playing this week.
-
Not sure where Gurley lines up but got to like that matchup with 6 foot Heath out there.
Almost instantly gives up a great shutdown guy who can potentially cover every teams best receiver.

Calling those drops is a bit of a stretch, but I agree his receivers haven't always helped him out. That being said, Dressler has also done a lot of work in the opposite direction by fighting to make plays out of poor throws by Nichols. On the deep ball towards the north end zone (I forget what quarter) on Saturday, Dressler turned a horrible throw into a 40 yard gain.
It's give and take of course, but the eye test simply doesn't tell me that Nichols is a GREAT quarterback. He's doing just enough to help us win, but our defense would be the reason we go deep this year if there ends up being one.
Perhaps once Nichols gets Adams back, something can change with regards to our offensive production. Adams is a big weapon to have in the lineup and should make a difference for us.
Oh i totally agree, I don't think anybody has ever said Nichols is a great quarterback but we have seen time and time again a quarterback that makes the right decisions is so much more valuable than a guy who has a cannon.

His bad throws have been few and far between. Unfortunately, so have his good throws recently. His decision making isn't something I can knock, but his execution lately has been poor.
6 touchdown tosses in 6 games with the opportunities he has been afforded isn't going to be a winning result for us if it continues moving forward.
6 in 6 games isn't anything to write home about but just as you said there have been drops by defenders for sure picks, there were 2 deliberate drops in the end zone by bomber receivers in regina.

Even though i believe the tweet is about MTL Glenn will have to quickly learn again that WPG sports fans see EVERYTHING.

In terms of results, you're definitely correct.
But you can bet that our coaching staff doesn't just grade performance on results. A bad throw is a bad throw whether the result of it was bad or not.
agreed but his "bad throws" have been few and far between, sure he has been getting favorable results on most of them but you have to think his decision making is WAY above average. The decision to tuck it and run last game was one that Willy probably would not have made.

Some of those lack of INT numbers for Nichols are luck whether flat out dropped by dbs or taken away on cheap PI calls. He's done well for sure but people trot out 6-0 and the TD:INT ratio entirely too quickly without providing context.
close only counts in horseshoes

Being in the other division, even in a worst case scenario, he can't haunt us that bad. Ricky Ray and Drew Willy on the same team makes me a much bigger Argos fan, that's for sure. Hope Willy has a killer season next year...5000 yards and 40 TDs...
You're not a Bomber fan in my eyes.

Ambiguos comment from Glenn, but it's easy to interpret as meaning he doesn't like the trade.
Great way to start things off here.
Huh? its pretty easy to interpret that somebody in the Als org lied to him and likely cost him to lose out on quite a bit of money and now he's peeved. Always trying to make something out of nothing eh?

Maybe because our offense is under performing and glenn has thrown for 5 tds in one game this year against one of the better teams. Where as nichols has never thrown more then 3, as a pro. Take your blinders off.
6-0
nichols 7 TDs 1 int 3 rushing TDs
Glenn 13 TDs 11 int

sort of unrelated to the topic but rider fans just need to understand most of us really just don't even want them here at all. i have no friends or family who are melon heads so all i hear is noise and ugly jerseys.
