I don't care what they do this week. What they did last week seemed to upset a lot of posters during the week and yet they kicked butt on Sunday.
As long as it translates into a win this Sunday, then they can piss everyone off all they want this week.
Hold closed practices in Spain and cut everybody on the team but the cashier at the new store in the mall - as long as you win on Sunday - and I will completely happy with it.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t you imply that Nichols benefited from playing such weak teams? Maybe any of our QBs could have won those games by that logic then?
yeah, you got the point I was making... and yes, I agree with your last statment as well... Streveler, or Collaros would have won just as many of those games... we're on the same page now...
l don't think that it's a giant leap to believe that if I were a QB in the CFL this year that playing 7 of 9 games against the likes of Ottawa, BC, Tornoto, and Edmonton would be s simplier path to 7 wins than playing Calgary, SSK, Montreal, and Hamilton, wouldn't you?

I hated that taunt.... just get the ball across the line before you celebrate.
it was a lot better than watching grown men trying to dance to some stupid, whatever it is they are doing or trying to do, most of the time, lol...

All things considered who's to say that if Matt didnt get hurt we dont go say 6 and 3 or better in the final half of season.??
would have, should have been 6-3 anyway... had the LDC wrapped up and then the give away at Montreal... not to mention that we scored enough pts in the second Calgary game that we probably should have won that one as well...

So, you’re saying he didn’t have a part in winning the games against the opponents before him?
did I say he had no part in it? I think it was quite clear from the narrative that he was involved in all of those games... that was never in question... quite the opposite, actually...

Thanks to Nichols, who, in no small part, helped win, what, 7 games out of our 11?
yeah, we'll leave out the part about how 7 of the 9 games (6 of his 7 wins) he played this year were against 4 teams that finished as the bottom 2 teams in each division, or that none of those 4 teams finished over .500 (the best was Edmonton who was 8-10, then BC 5-13, TOR 4-14, OTT 3-15), and those 4 teams finished 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th in points scored this year, or that 3 of the 4 (with a combined record of 12-42) were eliminated from post season play half way thru the season...
the rest of the season included 8 of 9 games against the 4 teams that finished 1 and 2 in each division and had a combined record of 50-22 as opposed to 20-52 like the teams Nichols played... we'll keep that as our secret...
but yeah, he really smoked them this year... lol...

Demski is so full of potential....he can really be a weapon. There's also times when he's looked disinterested or just not used enough or something....and is prone to drops. But when the guy is "on", watch out. It's the best thing I can say for Lapo in that game....that he had the mind to say "they're expecting a ton of Harris, so let's give 'em a ton of Demski instead..." and it worked really really well.
you're right, I didn't think of it like that... Harris' play call is so predictable even us fans can tell you at almost any given time, or down and distance, if it will be Harris that gets the call and what the play will be... there is a reason why, out side of that one 13 yd run, that he averaged less than 3 yds a carry the other day...

The problem with Tebow was that you had to make him your starter. You couldn't have him as just a gadget player. He was paid too much and too high profile. He was a victim of his "fame".
I think you're right... I really liked Tebow and thought that maybe he was given up on a little early but that is probably because I thought he was a good person and was rooting for him too, though...

Why not?
he's not NFL material, he doesn't bring enough to the table for someone to sign him for gadget type plays... much like Tebow, his best bet to make an NFL team would be to switch positions, and I still don't see it happening... don't get me wrong, I love me some Streveler but the NFL has already taken a peek and it was a hard pass by all...

I would not be surprised if some NFL team takes a look at him to run packages like Taysom Hill does for the Saints
ummmm... no.... just no...

the oline is really coming together...look at the wall of protection to the right of Collaros when he hit Darvin on the 71 yarder...and it was like that most of the game...
they really started to look good again... but there was a stretch when it was just a bit more than spooky... but you'd have to say that Collaros has had plenty of time to work the offense since he's came on board...
-
it's amazing how fast one can be when they just run in a straight line... but geez, they opened a hole for him and he instantly saw it and was gone... I thought that he may have gotten a penalty for taunting like he was while crossing the goal line... do they do that in the CFL, the taunting penalty? lol...
but I said here, during the game, that despite that incredible run, all the while Harris being shut down in the running game, Demski wouldn't get his number called again all game long... and I was right... I hate Lapo...

I agree...if we go outside the org thats where i set my sights...and I'd lean to Massoli...Resign Strev who basically gets to start season you would think as he prob won't be a legit 100 percent to start season.. and you can park his SMS hit on the 6 game...Gives Strev a chance to take reigns and show he has progressed more, and if he hasn't really yet you have Massoli to take over at some point and have a nice QB combo again...
Almost certain as well that if the league sticks with the 2 rostered QB rule that there will be some type of concession for a 3rd stringer on roster somehow as you cant expect teams to only have 2 guys
and I think you could sell Streve on the notion that he needs to really elevate his passing game in order to become a true starting QB1 and keep him signed in Winnipeg... get him on a new 2 or 3 year deal and with the expectation that if he progresses the team should be his by then...

Are we still pretending Masoli is a bonafide qb?

Pinball might just want him back...BUT considering guys like Arbuckle and Masoli probably will be available...hmmmm he'll probably keep the deal the way it is...Hard to say
this is where our interests should be if we're going to pursue a QB...

GD beautiful car. Congrats!
thx! it was a labor of love... it was a complete frame off restoration... well I call it a restoration but it's all modern technology... tilt, cruise, power windows, locks, push to start, 4 wheel disc brakes, rack and pinion steering, coil over shocks on all four corners, etc... here's a link to some more photos, and my other hobby, I design and build hand made wooden gear clocks, if you're interested...

hey! it's 66 here... I've already spilled my back story of who, why, and where in a thread in the discussion forum when I first joined a couple of months ago... but I always read people's user names and wonder what they mean or why they choose what they did... doesn't consume me or cost me a lot of consternation, just curious...
well my user name comes from my baby and prized possession that I actually built myself, my 66 Chevelle... spent a little over 2 years and a butt load of money building her but I love her... she has a 700 hp, 540 cubic inch big block Chevrolet engine in her and can be a hand full at times, much like myself... however, she does have a Canadian sister, the Beaumount which was built and sold in Canada at your local pontiac dealerships, but I digress... so, without further hesitation and for your viewing pleasure, I give you 'the' 66 Chevelle...

So LaPo was "Mickey" to the offence's "Rocky" in beating the Stamp's "Apollo" by fighting righty and then switching to south-paw?
I've seen Rocky II a bajillion times, but even just now, while watching that clip, I'm like 'come on Rocky, get up, get up!' when I know all to well that he does indeed get up and Apollo doesn't... lol... too funny....

Follow the bouncing ball. I’m talking one game.
And who says they have to.
I’m not exactly a LaPo LoVer, but when he swings and hits a home run, it should be acknowledged.it is acknowledged... in the form of a pay check... after all, that's what he was employed to do...
I'd bet cash money that on the job description he was handed when applying for the position that it said that there was an 'expectation to perform at a high level, a level that would be capable of winning playoff games" or something to that effect...
no, I'm not going to thank or apologize because he had a good game, especially when there were many times through out the year that he failed to meet an 'acceptable' level...

IF we had to settle for Nichols again next season, it would make a huge difference if we have a new OC... Nichols, with the right game plan, can be a very effective QB, one capable of winning playoff games... under Lapo there seems to be an underlying hint of Lapo not trusting Nichols as evident by the play calling and the apparent need to constantly have Harris on the wing to dump the ball off to...
honestly feel that the offense would be better served by Harris staying around the pocket and blocking instead of bailing and waiting on the dump pass... sure, he's open, and there is a reason why... the whole defense is in front of him, he's 3 yds behind the LOS and in most cases the defense is less than 5 yds from the LOS... they'll give up 2 or 3 yds by allowing that completion... much better for them to pressure Nichols and get him to bail on the vertical, down field game and pass the ball to Harris for meaningless yds... because when it's 2nd and 8, a pass completion for 2 yards, while great for your stat line, still equals punt...
there is a reason why a QB can have the fewest throwing yards in the league but have the high QB efficiency rating... fewest INTs... best TD to INT ratio... but you're probably going to lose more games than your peers...
