I'd have pulled Nichols after his 3rd int. Streveler may not have won it for us, but he'd get some great experience and his running ability might have made some difference.

I honestly don't worry at all about O'Shea leaving. He's got it pretty good in Winnipeg. We stuck by him when most other organizations wouldn't have and he's a loyal guy. I could see PLAP leaving for an HC job this off season tho.

IIRC we're staying in Ontario for the week. With Matthews not making the flight does that mean he isn't practising this week and not playing again next week or is he flying out after the game?

Is is better if I say we've won 4 out of our 5 games against 3 of the bottom 4 teams in the league to take into account that folks think Regina is worse than Ottawa? As for never admitting when I'm wrong... Not true. I grossly over estimated how good BC would be this year and I changed my mind once I saw them play. For a Bomber reference.. I didn't think Nichols would get back to 2017 form and he has.

25 out of 25 people in this weeks poll are picking Ottawa to lose to Calgary and I haven't voted yet. It looks like everyone thinks that Ottawa is bad.

You keep saying that like it's what I've been saying, which of course isn't true. (See Dilbert Cartoon)

Agree to disagree on Ottawa. One of their 2 wins is smoke and mirrors. They shouldn't have beaten Calgary, especially considering Davis threw 4 Ints. 3rd preseason game IMO. Riders aren't very good, but they're better than Ottawa. Bombers beat 1 quality team so far, Edmonton. I'm looking forward to this weeks game to see how we do against another good team.

The standard I set was for the bottom teams, not for the Bombers who I've consistently had at #1. The combined record for Ottawa, BC and Toronto is 3-12. One of those games was between TO and BC so one team had to get a win. They are the 3 worst teams in the league right now and no... it's not just cuz we played them. Hamilton, Calgary, Regina and Montreal are all better than Ottawa, BC and Toronto. It may not make them good teams, but they are better than the teams we've played except for Edmonton.

Funny that you recognize that beating bad teams doesn't mean that much when it comes to Calgary, but not when it comes to Winnipeg. I'll restate. There are 2 good teams Bombers and Ticats, 3 2nd tier teams and the rest a bad.

You're obviously not self aware.

Bombers, Ticats, Eskimos, Stamps (Even without BLM), maybe and surprisingly Montreal.

Also the only game we've played against a good team.

Fixing the fans in the stands issue won't happen using old technologies. Blackouts? Even if they could, anyone under the age of 60 could find a work around. No one reads local papers or watches local TV to get their sports fix. It's the internet age. You can't move the stadium. Public transport only goes so far and most stadiums already have it anyway. Increasing ticket, parking, booze, food prices to make up the losses actually hurts attendance. The CFL ignored an entire generation while watching it's fan base get older and older. They're paying for that now.

I can't believe people are still arguing about where the stadium is. Wait for 30 years then argue about where the new one should go.

It's just a MOSism. He doesn't like the term 'Healthy Scratch' so he won't use it and doesn't want others to use it, even if it's true.

Has Bighill practised this week?

My Internet's $40 a month for 75M. I've got an antenna to get local channels. I stream and use IPTV for another $15-$20 a month which gives me my sports. Gave up my home phone 15 or 20 years ago. Last year I bought TSN streaming, but it wasn't great and I thought it was too expensive for what it gives me. (They also charged me twice for 1 month and refused to refund or add a month at the end.) Basically I went from $140ish to $60ish a month.

That's more on the OC than Reilly. Every time they show the all 24, there's one receiver in the short zone, none in the medium zone and the rest are deep. Hard to go to the 'hot' route when you do that.

And losing to the Riders would be a disaster for BC. Sometimes the best games are when 2 desperate teams who are evenly matched go up against each other.
