Nichols is undefeated and is tied for the lead in the league in TD passes in one less game than the guy he is tied with. I would say his season is doing fine so far. 

I agree with you and I think that's why Matthews sits this week. O'Shea wants to see if Lawler can redeem himself and he wants to see how Walker performs to see if they will be ok cutting Lawler if he has the yips again this game. He knows what he has in Matthews, they are 4-0 playing an Eastern opponent so this is the time to do a sniff test.

It's weird because his whole interview was about how excited he was to return this week and how he feels it will be his debut all over again. It's a bit shocking to me because of that entire interview.

I didn't say he was. I was saying I hope he would if the chance came up. I hope he realizes the mistake he's made and how much better of a player Hardrick and Byrant made him. The fans are ready to write him off in BC but he was a great player for the Bombers with the right support on the line beside him and it would be nice to get him back if the right circumstances somehow presented themselves. 
I don't ever expect they will but in my opinion it would be positive if they did. 

I was just thinking this on my ride in this morning. I am so sick of hearing about the RFAs not signing until Sept. When one signs tell us if not, **** off. Tell us some news about the CFL and actual sports that are being played right now. 

I'd rather see BC win. I hate the Riders.

Eh I think it's more a case of we lost a guy due to a massive over payment so we hope he enjoys being part of a terrible group when he could have got paid well here and been part of a good group.

Guess it is because he no longer plays for the Big Blue - See it over on RiderFans.com all the time. If the player is part of the Rider Organization he is the best thing since sliced bread. Once he leaves, he is garbage. I had thought we had a better class of people on this site. Guess I was mistaken.

Drew Willy was pretty good for awhile until he got hurt. After that he was gun shy and it ruined him. But the trade Walters pulled off to unload Willy was exceptional.
Unfortunate I believe it was Faith that he picked with the number 1 overall from that trade that turned out to be a dud but not one person in the league saw that coming. No one.

based on where we were when The Trinity took over to where we are today, it is insane to me that anyone can question how much better off we are with this regime in place than pretty much any other available in the league.

Sackstenchewan will sign him. 

They’d have no interest. He isn’t related.

I also heard that Nick Temple did something inappropriate and the police were involved which lead to his immediate release from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Football Club. The Bombers are thin in the starting LB position unless they are planning on promoting a ST. I guess we will know soon enough. 

Let's hope the only "product" being "revealed" is on-field... from this point on...

I ran into Sayles and Humes before the game at Pita Pit on University Cres. The home game before it was "Stove" Steven Richardson and Tomas Miles.

I thought it was cool that the Grand Forks Newspaper is trying to get the people from Grand Forks to drive up to Winnipeg to watch Blue Bomber football and adopt them as their team!

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?

Yardage total aside (and who cares?), he's getting the job done. And without Matthews. It'd be nice to see this offense stretch the field more but I like TDs and wins more, to be honest.

For 4 and 0???
