He had a **** game but still threw some touchdowns and scored enough to win an ugly game.at some point it isn't coincidence that Nichols always seems to do just enough to win....

The angle from the endzone that tsn only showed once looked like the ball may not have been secured, but the side camera looked like a catch.

Same amount as Harris in one less game, currently leading the league in that stat! Also leading in efficiency rating! Useless ***.

Nichols has 6 td passes on the season already...

Before he got hurt in the BC game Wilson was all over the place, including showing great speed tracking down Burnham on a long pass. That guy is going to be a good one for sure.

I wonder if only having one game then a bye week put the Bombers at a disadvantage. Could be a good amount of rust still having not played 2 previous regular season games like Edmonton.

gotta think it gives Harris more room on the short passes too because now there's an even more dangerous guy on the short check down passes to spy.

And, when the Esks needed plays to win the game Collins wanted no part of getting hit again and short armed a ton of passes. Totally pussied out because that's how the Bombers play D. Gotta earn your yards the hard way.

It's been Ritchie Halls MO for a long long long time. It's not going to change so we better just get used to it. Bombers D plays a pretty physical game and makes teams generally have to put together long drives to score. That wears an offense down over the course of the game, and on offense the idea is the same. Grind it out, play safe and win by beating the other team down. Bombers really are the ground and pound style of team rather than the flashy team.

Part of the issue is when leading this team plays "safe". That's from the coaches and they have a long history of it.

Better to have Lucky than be good?

Esks with Reilly used to win on horseshit big play nights, why can't we? Classic go into a shell when leading Bombers, but a win is a win.

You think after all the progress that has been made we're going to dump O'Shea? And for Lapo of all people? Get your head out of your ass.

Everyone is hanging off Edmonton's nuts after last week, I hope the Bombers just stomp them from start to finish tonight. Make a statement.

People are evaluating these things with a whole heaping pile of hindsight. Wagoner and Poblah were going to come to the CFL when people thought they were Americans never mind their draft status.

With Lapo we don't ever need to worry about the team not testing the perimeters of a defense. If Edmonton wants to try just going balls out after the qb again like they were able to against BC it won't end well for them. I don't think their linebackers are good enough to handle the Lapo short passing offense.

So have we ever had a week 2 with only 3 games before? Not to mention 2 of those games were absolute laughers. Also week one had at least one game competing with the NBA finals which likely takes a bite out of viewer numbers too.

The discipline was lacking a bit in game 1, I can only assume based on his post game comments that oshea will have them back to playing a clean game this time.

Especially considering the state of the teams NIs at the time. and I don't get the angst over Waggoner either. Guy was a contributer on special teams at least and retired at a point when he might have gotten more responsibility. Some people just always have a bone to pick. It's the draft, it's hit or miss.

And I saw independent scouting reports saying poblah hands down would have been a 1st overall pick. Just because he didn't work out (as many picks don't) doesn't mean the bombers were out of line spending a first round pick. Fact isn't they didn't spend a first someone else would have.

Reilly was never coming here and pretty sure Toronto did bid a first on poblah too. You say fake news, I say reasons.

So I seem to recall more teams than Winnipeg bidding a first for poblah.

Alls I know is I get nervous when the all comes to him in a way that doesn't happen with the other receivers. Guy has a lot of skill, but had some adventures with catching and holding onto the ball.

You can't turn people away because what if it is a more serious underlying condition? What people need to do though is not use an er for things a doctors appointment can handle.

Fragile.
