That one was all Nichols. That's a dumb dumb play.

That pick 6 should have been a hand off up the gut not the bullshit lapo is calling.

Bitching about Nichols, how about all the drops he's had and the dumb assed 2nd and 3 play calls?

Obvious answer is Flanders won't be a di and then he can sub for Harris no problems

God Burris is just awful to listen to.

Because we still have to have a backup qb on the roster so it's 70K on top of a full roster of salaries. This is a team that is spending quite a bit on salary and unlike the Riders our GM attempts to stay under the cap so as not to incur fines.

Lapo hasn't changed at all as an offensive coordinator. Still the same stuff he was doing here in 2002 except he doesn't have Stegall, Bruce and Jones to make the deep shots work.

Yeah but mike Kelly was OC back then too right? Hell we had that huge rushing game with Kelly in 09 vs. Bc but the guy was still clueless on team building and did damage to the team that is only now being repaired.

Murphy who has been associated with so many gong shows? No thanks. Hufnagel kept him in line hut with Kelly and Jones he was as disastrous as them. There is a reason that guy hasn't been given the keys to a franchise.

It's clear the reason why the Riders are on this little run, Duron Carter is a ******* cancer and removing him improved the teams fortunes.

Oh god if we do lose our minds and fire MOS it better not be Lapo again. I have no desire to see a team playing just well enough to lose again.

Walters specifically said that the logic behind Gray was avoiding paying a big first round salary at this time and using it as a futures pick so not sure we can judge it against anyone currently playing. Overall I am happy with Walters drafting. In any draft you can go back and nit pick this guy over that guy but when I look at how the Canadian depth has improved on this team I give Walters a good grade. Now about the American scouting....

He got the beetus

But Noeller isn't really interested in posting, he kinda pulled a Durant.

That's the beauty of the CFL, it can all change in a months time. 3 weeks ago the riders were in the west division toilet.

But O'Shea does sit guys who aren't playing well. Case in point Poop Johnson got taken out. People bitched about lankford over Washington but we saw that Washington in the last game wasn't ready. They sent Bowman packing for Thompkins already too. So I really don't see this refuses to sit out his favourites if there is a better option at back up guy some people like to say is there. I think it's just easy for fans to say "well play the backup! That will fix everything!"

We played the esks close in the opener, we can beat them, we should have beaten the riders, we can beat them, we can beat Montreal, hell we can beta calgary with some production in offense. I got no time for defeatists.

It's a tough schedule but it's not undoable. Can beat any of the team on that schedule if they take care of business and get the offense going again.

maybe maybe not, he would had to work for it and perhaps taken away momentum and let someone tackle him sooner.

this isn't an either or situation guys... was a bad throw made worse by the receiver. I know everyone has their hate on for Nichols, but Washington showed why he didn't get on the field sooner. Raw rookie who isn't ready.

No I said that Lapo gonna Lapo. I am a huge Streveler fan, but Lapo gotta go.

yeah that same receiver dropped a pass on a key 2nd down that Nichols put right into his numbers. Like I have said a bunch, Darvin Adams is inconsistent.

Catch it or knock it down, you don't go batting it up into the air. That's on the receiver. Never mind that all across the CFL other teams have receivers that make tough catches for their qbs, you think Reilly and BLM hit everyone perfectly? Hell no, those guys help their qbs and as much as Nichols is having a tough go right now when was the last time we saw his receivers really help the guy out?

I think the real ass chapper about the FG after the fumble is that is probably could have been a Bomber field goal if they hadn't turned it over so it's again a 6 point swing.

Well the evidence in the first 3 games seems to show otherwise. Blew a lead late against Edmonton because the offense got bogged down, never got going at all against Hamilton and yes the Montreal game was good, but it was Montreal so how much does that really mean?
