Goldeyes & Bombers should be getting tax subsidies but not True North &/or the Jets.

Yes, a rookie HC with "lots of promise" is just what this team needs. Some of the underperforming veterans will really have a run of the dressing room with an inexperienced head coach in place. He'll come cheap though so I wouldn't be surprised if this happens.

Some scout, eh? He should have stuck with Bill Polian in Indy. If you can't figure that out as a CFL GM then you're some kinda stupid.

At one time the owners had all the pull & now it's gone the other way to the players side which isn't good either. I know some people feel we should sign all or most of our players to 1 year deals to get talent to come to the CFL but fans are having a hard time identifying with players being up here a season, maybe 2 & then they leave. The freedom to move around has come at a cost & we see that in the stands with decreased attendance & stagnant or slightly better numbers in viewership on TSN. I'd like to see longer term deals signed by veteran players. Especially those going into their second & third contracts.

You didn't mention the other guys. There was a reason we won 3 games in 2013.

That absolutely sucks. Penton covered the CFL for all teams in the Sun chain. Have they been laid off or going elsewhere?

Doors are wide open once a coach gets into the NCAA system. Widen contacts.

They have to do something. This can't go on. A trade would do it.

Then round 'em up & move 'em out.

I think that Kavis Reed will probably only last a couple of seasons as GM if things don't improve anyway. When he goes he'll take Joe Mack with him.

Not when you Steinhauer can get a pension, health & education benefits. He'll probably get paid more money & in US dollars. Then it makes all kind of sense. The CFL would retain more coaches if it brought in assistant coach benefits but it doesn't. Benefits for assistant coaches have been discussed for many years as a way to keep bright young coaches in the CFL & nothing ever changes.

Worked for me. It proved that Nichols while he makes some mistakes can also make great throws too. Just like all the other starters can as well. I think given another year as the starter in LaPolice's offense he will improve upon last year.

Trying to be respectful.

Please stop before you sound even more foolish. I don't like saying this but truly you have no clue.

Next one? Do you mean since the Tom Clements or Khari Jones eras? We don't have the greatest reputation in finding & developing our own quarterbacks, do we? We never found or developed those 2. The last one actually was Dieter Brock, I believe.

Glenn can play but I'd rather have him around as insurance as a solid backup.

You know, there's always been a kind of "rule" that in a bar there were 2 things you never talked about. Religion & politics. As it seems most of you are drunk when you post here you may want to think about that when you say something. LOL!

Sorry, but I disagree. Remember that Nichols saved Walters & O'Shea's careers. They're loyal & he'll get paid.

Quarterback salaries are going up whether fans like it or not. They may think that $400,000 a year is too much but the real elites in the CFL will be making a half million a year. My advice to Bomber fans? Stop hoping Kyle Walters will sign Nichols for less than $400,000 a year as he won't. No capable free agent starter like Durant will come here for less, they'll want more. Nichols has said that he wanted $450,000 a year. That means he won't sign for under 4. They can negotiate anywhere between 4 & 450 but it won't be under 4.

LOL! If Durant signs in Saskatchewan or leaves as a free agent & signs somewhere else & then Nichols leaves here as well it won't just be quarterbacking that stinks with the Bombers. It'll be all over before it starts. Hello, 2015. How've ya been?

The game was always in reach & it's disappointing how bad our defensive coverages are & had been the entire season. It really showed how exposed our defense was. I'd be really happy if Ritchie Hall was replaced. If we had just an average defense in the playoffs I believe that we would have defeated the Lions. I thought Nichols was solid that game. I pin the loss on Ritchie Hall & his defense.

A bad shoulder doesn't cause a breakdown of throwing mechanics, weakness, a loss of strength & pain? You have no idea what you're talking about.

Our defense choked. Our Head Coach choked on that call but he's too stubborn to admit a mistake. O'Shea deserves a new contract but I'm concerned his huge ego & arrogance will mean he'll never learn from his mistakes.

We lost the WDSF not because of Nichols but because our defense played soft coverage all season & MOS didn't go for it on 3rd & 4. Trying instead for a 61 yard FG (which aside from Dave Dickenson's brutal call on the 2 yard line in the Grey Cup) was the dumbest call made by a head coach in the CFL this season. At least Dickenson owned it but O'Shea didn't as he said that he'd make the same decision again & again. Somehow that's Nichols fault.
