My wife, infant son & myself would have been trapped in our apartment second floor balcony because of a 6  foot snowdrift. Our good neighbour saw it, shoveled his way up the outside stairs to our deck from the ground level & shoveled us out. I had no idea how bad it was until I went out once the storm died down to shovel myself & heard someone outside scraping outside our door. Really appreciate what he did that day. If something bad like a fire had happened we'd have been trapped. That's what Winnipeg was like those few days, people unselfishly helping each other out. Strangers caring about other strangers.

Milanovich anoints Willy his starter like MOS did here. That's 2 head coaches that put their trust in a guy who has never proven that he is a starting qb. Lots of guys have wished they could have coaches like that & never did. He's been extremely fortunate that way while others haven't.
As far as the line being better for Nichols than for Willy, it's true but too bad. Professional sports is a tough business. No one said that it would be fair & that everyone around them would be good players. Willy still has been well paid for what little body of work he has done as a starter. It's up to him to show he can actually play & make a difference even on the worst team & he hasn't shown anything.

We'd never have got there with Willy starting. The Willy backers here can argue otherwise but no way. Nichols doesn't put up stunning numbers like Reilly or BLM but he's steady, efficient, understands LaPo's offense, makes quicker reads & has a quick release thereby avoiding being sacked. Willy holds onto the ball too long trying to make decisions where to throw & panics when the pocket collapses. We saw that all game long today.

Trump just went off the deep end today lashing out with tweets against those who unendorsed or criticized him over the video released 4 days ago. He will take every republican down ballot from him with him. Giuliani & Christie are finished politically after this election. If you see his base they are crazed individuals. CNN showed a video today where a woman said to Mike Pence that if Clinton wins then Americans should take up their guns & start a revolution. You can hear him say, "No... No!"  That dirtbag Trump is going to get people killed with his rhetoric.

"Ah, the Earth is flat!!! He'll just fall off the edge of the Earth. What a waste of money exploration is. Nothing exists past the horizon. I always thought Chris was a nutbar claiming the Earth is round." So said Enrique Valdez, the neighbourhood know it all who lived 2 doors down from Christopher Columbus. Good thing no one listened to him.

As much as I rooted for Willy, I have to agree with this analysis. Earlier this year, after about 5 wins for Nichols, Doug Brown wrote a column contending that Willy and Nichols' passing yards - after 5 games each - were about even, and so suggesting that Drew could be inserted again and also enjoy success. But this totally ignored the fact that Willy had thrown most of his yardage well AFTER the game was out of reach...garbage time, whereas as Nichols' yards came in the thick of tight games. In addition, Nichols' TD-INT ratio was 8-1 to Drew's 5-4, the latter including a pick six that finished us in our second game against Calgary. Finally, Nichols' long-ball accuracy has been damn fine all season whereas Drew hardly hit (or even attempted) a long ball. No, while I still like Drew (met him once in the T.O. airport and he seemed like a very decent guy indeed) and he MAY yet enjoy success in this league, there's no question that Nichols has been way stronger and the difference. My beef is how long it took Coach O'Shea (another very likable dude) to put Matt in there. I actually hold Coach significantly responsible for Willy's deterioration. Drew started VERY strong in '14, but after getting the *&^% kicked out of him for 1.5 seasons (with Coach stubbornly refusing to give him the relief he so desperately needed - afterall, what is the purpose of acquiring a qualified back-up?), his confidence was finally shot. I'm old enough to remember a guy named Cal Murphy who wasn't afraid to pull his hall-of-famer, Tommy Clements, to change up the rhythm, and put in old Hufer' when it was required. Hell, we won a Grey Cup that way!

Straight up guys. Congrats on getting a spot locked up. Best of luck to the Bombers in the show. The team is heading in the right direction these days, and that's exciting for the fans who have held the fort all these years.

Matt Nichols has been an equal upgrade over Drew Willy as Travis Bond has been to Patrick Neufeld.

Being mic'd up is dumb. Maybe now the CFL will listen to teams & never do it again. Having said that, they should have done it still.

The last drive Willy never even tried a deep pass. Not one. Even the last pass was more of a check down. The entire game he never went vertical downfield. Ugh... Most qbs would have thrown that last pass deep... Game was over sure but at least look like you're trying to score instead of playing safe. Glad he's gone.

But all the so called "intelligent" posters here swore up and down that our oline was the problem and that Willy was far superior to Nichols. Quite frankly, Willy has looked horrid from the very first snap this pre season, and I'm someone who thought he was Ricky Ray lite in 2015.

Playoffs Baby!!!!!!

So, in the twitter universe everyone is saying the Lions got screwed & that the ball was out. My response to that is **** the twitter universe. I think the whistle blew before the ball did come out. But the Bombers have been screwed over so many times by the officials that cost us games in the past even if it was a fumble, I don't care as it was about bloody time a call went our way.

He gives Argo fans no hope. Just like when he was here. There was no hope.
