Sorry , boys , I'm going up north tonight to get my pike on and will be out of modernity. So please don't see my silence as ducking ( since Bombers winning is more than a distinct possibility).  Cheers.

Don’t know where to put this, but I went and watched Wolitarsky’s set at Earl’s tonight.
First off, he was actually super good.
Second, him and Streveler were super stoked that my buddy Ray and I had their jerseys.
Thirdly, Matthews was there and looked very unstabbed. Good turnout - Strev, Demski, Willie, Stove (played a couple songs), Lawler, Sayles, Humes, Speller, Lucky, Rose, Nelson (walking boot) and Petermann all showed to support.

This is the first time I can honestly say I have no complaints in all my years as a fan of this team. 
 
Nitpicking here, Streveler needs to be a little more careful with the football.

Its cause she's foxy! Sara could stand there chewing tobacco and reading from the Quran and I still wouldn't look away. If she was out there looking like Mama June circa 2012 she wouldn't get a pass. Fair or not that's how the world works!

If you had to work with Rod Black all the time you'd become disinterested too.

Rogers hates the CFL, one of the many reasons I switched my cell phone account.

Yet first in touchdowns and Interceptions (10-1), 
Davis (3-7) so much for your stats 

Fixed it for you!

2 game suspension to dirty Lawrence upheld!!

What a surprise, corrupt Quebec based company. Never heard that one before.

And you still haven’t watched the Bombers. 
 

After the emotion of the big win (I think - hard to tell from some of the wailing here over the weekend) has subsided, some thoughts on sober reflection of the events past.
- Nichols is good - like, really good right now. I don't really care if he doesn't excite some posters here like the "Strevelation" or pass their subjective eye test. Dude is killing it and I re-affirm my position from the pre-season that people need to get off his back. Some of the (I'll say it right here and now) utter nonsense posted about him not being consistent or not worthy of trust to pull out the big game or spoiling Streveler's chance to get reps and be our star QB remind me why I take 48 off from posting following a game to avoid the hysteria. Others should try it some time.
- Streveler is one tough dude, but if we want to apply the same level of scrutiny to his game and we do to Nichols, that INT he threw was not a smart decision, and he's lucky his reckless run and fumble was recovered by his teammates, and that he didn't get hurt himself. People who moan about the conservative approach miss the very point Nichols made on the post-game show. Do not allow any bad turnovers by forcing plays, and at worst the other team needs to drive a longer field and eat up more time. The strategy employed by Nichols and LaPo won't score you 37 more points in the second half, but we aren't playing a video game. It's clock management, and given that the Bombers finished the game with 33+ minutes of time of possession, I'd say the game plan is working to a tee (especially since the Argos has the ball for 7 of the first 8 minutes of the game).
-back to Streveler, poor decision to throw with heat in his face, and a really poor throw to boot for an easy pick. That pass may have helped the decision to get Nichols back in
- I questioned with Lucky Whitehead's speed why Charles Nelson is back returning punts, but boy he is solid running up to catch tricky punts on the fly and drawing no yards calls
-who would have thought Nic Demski would be our deep threat?
- for all those wanting Nichols and Harris benched early for fear of injury, rosters just aren't big enough to sit people down on a regular basis. Besides, for the blowout wins the Patriots put up, when do you ever see Tom Brady pulled early? Or any QB for that matter?
- BC is worse than Toronto right now. On paper, BC has more talent, and Toronto has been far more overmatched than BC in games, so I know that statement seems odd. But the Argos did not quit on Friday, and BC flat out rolled over at home, the second time they have just stopped playing mid-game in the last 4 weeks.
- Jackson Jeffcoat is our defensive MOP right now
- Willie Jefferson may not have the sexy stats like last year, but he has been well worth the investment for his disruption on the line of scrimmage alone.
 - Chandler Fenner is the most visible of the DBs right now. For all the right AND wrong reasons. Either a great tackle/INT/knockdown, or a big bust. No middle ground it seems.
 - Can we remove Jeff Hecht from the scapegoat list now, especially given what Derek Jones showed in his place?
 

I saw Hardrick running on the sidelines if that's worth anything. Up 30 could have been taken out for precaution.

I think its reasonable to be concerned with the second half playcalling, particularly on the offensive side of the ball.  That said, this was a pretty dominant win from start to finish. Nichols had a second straight good game.  Probably his best of the season, I think. Accuracy was on point, timing clicked, great decisions with reads. The offense is so much better when he can stretch the field successfully.
The defense was excellent yet again. Not much more to say about them at this point.

Yeah the biggest red flag is the bombers going two and out when already up by 30 smh.

If this kind of nonsense is still going on here the night we win the Grey Cup after going 18-0 this season I may have to start hanging out next year on the Lions fan forums. If they in fact exist.

If people are questioning Nichols game. They have deep rooted trust issues. 

almost every tackle Davis "Dirty" Sanchez made in his career was at the knees, I recall Keith Stokes and Charles Roberts taking some pretty low shots by him.

let's not forget Diamond Ferri........**** I spit just thinking of his name.. *spits*

I'll be shocked if Bighill plays. If he's truly this iffy just rest him for another week man. Why risk it against the Argos in week 5??

excited to see what we can get out of Lawler. Looked like an athletic guy and catches everything when we saw him.
