I don't even believe Nichols is the problem. All year this team has lived and died by the run game, well the run game wasn't working on Friday and none of the receivers stepped up. Adam's I guess but he's just one guy. Lapo got out coached and that was the ball game.

yahuh. Here's the thing, one week doesn't change anything, Stamps took the weak sister of the west lightly and got burned nothing more than that.

I'd have left Streveler in only to save the wear and tear on Nichols, but he's still the guy for this team. I don't even think he was that bad, lots of penalties took plays off the board for them, he dealt with a lot of dropped passes and he dealt with a team that was taking away the Bombers running attack which screwed up the entire game plan. Just one of those games that happens where the other team executes their planned defense and you can't find the answers for it.

They also suggest that the team plays with a lead a lot of the time, which every team in the CFL gets more conservative with.

Rider fans acting like douches, what a surprise. Sun shines on every dogs ass now and then.

why are we even arguing about converts anyway? The offense doesn't go 2 and out all night it wouldn't matter.

when lapo is good he's very good, when he's bad he's really a dumb ass.

kicking the single was probably smarter considering how inept the offense was. Medlock is automatic, our offense was **** on the night.

They've already throttled some teams.... Montreal, Toronto x2, BC....

Jones is too arrogant to take that deal.

I don't. They canpack the stadium for calvillo beating up the weak east but not now? I hate fair weather fans.

No honestly I don't think close game that was pissed away late counts as a game that should have been won. I certainly don't think that it's fair to say the bombers should have won the first game vs. Edmonton. They ****** up at bad times and lost a close game.

Because the Riders blew a late lead? Sorry but football doesn't work that way. Gotta be good enough to close out games to say you should have won.

Which ones? Cause to my eyes they've already won some games they could have lost and the losses were all full credit.

To me the offense is still going to lean on Harris and demski and Adam's and thompkins will have to step up with dressler out. Lankford is just another guy on the offense. Don't **** up and maybe make a few plays and it's fine.

I dunno, Dressler is still our #2 receiver and has been making tons of plays for us. Yeah he is older and more fragile but guy can still play and is still a big contributer. This team just isn't likely to have any receiver put up insane stats simply because of how much they spread things around.

****** Mcadoo

Since Nichols took over the only team that's done more winning than the Bombers are the Stampeders, and they don't have a lot of Cups to show for it either, so forget O'Sheas overall record, that is heavily influenced by taking over a team that wasn't very good. This team is built to be a contender long term because they are using their draft picks wisely and have built some pretty good depth at the NI positions. That is what leads to long term success in the CFL. The Grey Cup will come eventually, no need to panic. Forget 1990, fretting over that is what has led to a lot of stupid hiring and firing decisions since that time.

Yeah and it really pissed me off cause there was no real reason for it, especially when they followed it up with him being same old Bond in Spectre.

so pure pig headedness. I believe this is Halls last season here but not as a firing, more of a riding off into the sunset kinda thing. Gotta admit though that the D is playimg pretty well so what's the problem?

Wasn't that the whole thing in Skyfall? which was a **** movie.

Talent gets you chances but work ethic and a good attitude are what gets you success. Carter will likely never understand that.

This is patronizing bullshit. The real compliment from opposing fans is when they hate our team because they always kick their teams ass.

Well they already went to their depth to get Thompkins on there, Lankford coming on for another injury isn't really a damning indictment of things. Guy isn't fantastic as a receiver but he can play a little bit and to be honest they way they like to use him he is the most natural replacement for Dressler cause they'll likely have him run the same plays Dressler does. I know he's the resident whipping boy but it's a move that really isn't that surprising given how the receivers have been deployed this year.

even if it's shown to be wrong? It's OK to say that Hall has stepped it up and got the D playing better. If you ignore what you see only to stick to your opinion you are just being ignorant.
