Bombertown

This was my second game in person ever and it was awesome. Better than a vikes game. Had people ringing bells in every direction. Tinnitus is worth it.

There was zero need for Holm to run it back, the smart play would have been to go down but either way the scoreboard still says Bombers win

Ive said this before but I’d take Parker over rose or Houston. Though would be my priority to get Houston out.

yup...But would rather he is in for Houston, with Rose staying put...Houston is a big liability and a risk for big plays against, and is probably our worst tackling defender on the team...Not liking the blinded by stats thing here
Rose has been just fine...also been there done that.....

QBs don’t throw in nichols direction out of fear, so he doesn’t have the stats. The voting is primarily based on stats. I think he should have been MODP. 

It still should have been Nichols and Holm for western HB. Lee over either of them is crazy.

I’ll add that Houston’s inclusion makes this abundantly clear.

I wasn't sure who posted it but there was some discussion involving Bob Irving, Duane Forde and others who noted that there's a concerted effort to brand Kelly the face of the CFL and in doing so, it might influence voting. 
It rubbed me the wrong way.
Don't get me wrong, anything that can be done (within reason) to create hype  in markets that are struggling I'm all for it.  It's why when some around here were griping about how TSN was focusing on BC's new owner so much that I took the exact opposite tact.  We need invested owners like that.  It helps create an invested fanbase.  That said, don't snub a guy simply to fit an agenda - that's just wrong.  Brady has EARNED both the MOP and MOC this season.

Nichols actually finished the year with one more knockdown than Holm (12 to 11, both just behind Willie Jefferson’s league-leading 13). Where Holm statistically outshone Nichols was tackles (68 - second only to Biggie on the team, to 37), sacks (2 to 0) and INTs (2 to 0). 
I suspect some of the difference in stats is due to how often each was targeted in the pass game (I can’t find those stats) and it is likely teams were more hesitant to test Nichols. As for physicality and tackling, Holm may not be everyone’s cup of tea because he can’t break a receiver’s spine like a BA used to, but I found his closing speed on receivers pretty good in coverage, and he looked to me like a pretty sure  and sound fundamental tackler, even if not laying the lumber. And yes he missed a few, as anyone does. But I think of his sack against Tre Ford as a solid example of his discipline, fundamentally good knowledge of his angles, and sound tackling ability. Seeing how much escapability Ford has displayed, given that Holm quickly wrapped him up on an open field tackle was quite impressive. 

Lee over nichols is crazyyyyy

Awesome. 2 of my UND guys. Love to see it. 

Nichols not being an all-star is a joke.
No slight, but there’s no universe in which TJ Lee is the better player

All star Houston not likely to even play in playoffs.

Do you think that many other qbs in this league would have much more gaudy numbers playing behind the #1 o-line,  with the #1 rb,  with the #1 set of receivers?     I'm pretty sure guys like Matthew Shiltz and Tre Ford would be putting up really solid numbers if they were with us.
