That would back up the eye test, Nichols has been erratic on the longer tosses, if he was hitting those at the league average pace this team would be down right scary.

if you only look at one, maybe 2 seasons, but then again over that time RNH has been playing harder minutes in more defensive situations... I think you are all immediately discounting RNH too much because of the good year Scheifele is coming off of. Let's revisit things if RNH gets to play on the top line with McDavid next season instead of having to be the teams defacto defensive centre.

implying that Schiefele is better than Draisaitl? Going to have to show your work on this one cause in Draisaitls draft +2 season he had 51 points in 72 games, Scheifele at that same point only spent 4 games in the NHL, then in their draft +3 seasons Draisaitl had 77 points in 82 games, draft +3 Scheifele finally became an NHL regular and had 34 points in 63 games. That right there is the reason Draisaitl got paid what he did where as Scheifele is now on a cheap contract. When you wait until well after you are drafted to break out you don't have to get paid as much as players who break out in their 2nd year and then build upon that further in their 3rd season. Not to mention Draisaitl was arguably the best Oiler in the playoffs he's shown that thus far he's a big money player. 8.5 per year isn't a discount, but it's what guys like that get paid. Jets were lucky that they signed Scheifele to a long deal before he really broke out simple as that. See if he maintains that.

I'll go with Andrew Harris again I guess

I would hope that the Bombers can control the line of scrimmage on both sides and win that way. If they can ever get a few licks on Reilly and not let him pull his escape artist bullshit they should be able to control things nicely.

any player that says stats don't matter is lying. They all know and they all care.

"Here drink this"?

Yeah when a team is LOL bad like Hamilton is the only way they're likely to beat you is if you make mistakes and let them get freebie points so you can play conservatively and still whoop em.

Oh I ain't saying MOS is always truthful with the media, but I will tell you this, I'll believe he's telling the truth here and that Lawless is doing what he often does and is passing speculation off as fact. If Lawless says things like "hearing this" or "there is a belief around the CFL" or anything along those lines I'll believe that he has a source on that. He's not totally full of ****, but he does like to pretend that he knows more than he does and apparently people like you just eat it up.

The story or Wally and Harris to me always came down to Wally being a cheap bastard not wanting to pay what it would have taken to keep Harris.

What!?!?!? Gary Lawless pulled an opinion out of his ass and treated it like fact? No way! People need to stop treating everything that man says like it's some inside info. He does have some good info, but he's also like most media types and has an overinflated sense of his own intelligence.

Blocking and a returner to hand in hand. Very rare you get a good return man who succeeds without blocking in front of him.

It is absolutely hilarious how much it clearly bothers the guy. I always took a wait and see approach with him as a prospect but yeah he was a waste of a pick and now apparently he is quite upset that people are calling a spade a spade.

Hey it might not be him. It could be his mom.

remember before when we were looking at the esks depth chart and wondering how they kept winning and I said guess it's the qb and a real solid defensive line? Well if that Dline is banged up to that extent against our very good offensive line I like our odds. A lot easier for linebackers and dbs when the DL gets pressure.

This is a beautiful comment. It's one thing to kick field goals after the offense starts in the other teams half of field, but if you march the ball and then have to kick that's great cause you eat up the clock, put the other team on their heels and still get points out of the deal. That's what good teams do to win ball games.

That is the most frustrating thing about Charles Roberts.... if that guy cared at all he could have been even more legendary than he already is. The amount of god given talent that guy had and he didn't put in a fraction of the work most pros do...

Gary Lawless has always had this habit of treating his own opinions like they were facts. Maybe MOS is getting more involved in the D, or maybe it's just a case of the new faces on the DL getting used to each other and Mo Leggett coming back and Carmichael and Walker both switching positions and getting more comfortable with the CFL game. But yeah it's probably MOS just sticking his fingers into things..... Not gonna put a lot of stock into what Lawless says without a better source than Gary thought it so it must be true.

I think if Adams hadn't come down with the ball then the ref probably would have thrown the flag. Plenty of times they keep the flags in their pocket until the play is done for what ever reason.

So just to be clear here, the Bombers beating Hamilton and Ottawa and Montreal is meaningless but the Esks beating Hamilton twice, Ottawa twice, Montreal once and BC twice makes them a top teir team? Not like they've rolled over all these teams either. The fact is that it's early in the CFL season and a win streak now really doesn't mean a lot when one division has been so putrid that everyone is picking up wins against them. Edmonton has beaten BC twice so good for them, but if they start losing to Winnipeg or Calgary their record starts to look a bit shakier doesn't it? And hell Calgary has played the same teams as Winnipeg and the only difference is that one head to head, which admittedly was not a good game for the Bombers but it is hardly the definitive game of the season. Why don't we all just agree that the best teams in the league are the top 4 teams in the west, which it just so happens includes Winnipeg.

Apple is ******* terrible and all you're doing is paying a premium for a device that is no better than any number of things on the market. Apple customers are suckers plain and simple.

I'm sorry to hear that

I can laugh really hard at the Lions crapping their pants like that, but man not at the expense of a Rider win, now we are going to have to listen to those **** heads crowing about how they're on the way to being great blah blah blah.

Just keep doing what they're doing and finding ways to win and it will all take care of itself by seasons end.

I see you're not familiar with the Paul Lapolice offense....
