100% where my head is....

oh it goes a lot farther back than that...

This was my thought...I'll believe it when I see 'em on the field.

Figured we might as well get this rolling. Practicing in Guelph this week in preparation of Thursday night's contest. Years and years of Bombers dreadful seasons have me feeling like we're going to give the Argos their first win of the season, and that things are going to spiral out of control the rest of the season, and the Riders are going to build momentum and keep winning...........I need a smack to right the ship. Bombers and Hammy by 50+ this week, pls....

Bombers losing and Riders winning is just the most God awful thing, and I desperately need a reversal this coming weekend...

Tabbies beat writer on our local pre-game show Friday mentioned that DE is the webmaster for his paper's (Spectator?) website....so he's definitely doing that, at the very least.

Yesterday was the 2 year anniversary of the Als game at IGF where Nichols rallied 'em with 2 minutes left in the game. We definitely know he can do it. When he's "your guy", you give him the benefit of the doubt and let him try and work it out.

Unless they were 40"+, I don't wanna hear about em... #Snakes #Handles #GatorsOnly

I'm sorry to hear that...

My family is full of protective services. 2 RCMP, 1 City, 1 paramedic, 1 city Firefighrer and 1 retired federal firefighter. All are above and beyond fantastic and hard working and have risen to very high levels. Not all are like that, but the vast majority are. I hate people who **** on cops amd first responders. It's among the most brutal jobs a person can do.

how long till Wally gets called out of retirement yet again.....?

https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/07/27/upon-review-wpg-15-ham-23/ NICHOLS DIDN’T MINCE WORDS… when he met with the media following the game, immediately accepting the blame for his poorest game since last year’s Banjo Bowl. He entered the game with an active streak of 19 straight completions, but had that snapped on the first pass attempt when a shovel to Lucky Whitehead was dropped. His next attempt was intercepted and returned to the one-yard line, helping give Hamilton a 14-0 just seven minutes into the game. “For whatever reason, on two of the plays (interceptions) the ball kinda came out of the side of my hand,” Nichols explained. “I had open guys and was on the right read, but the ball came off the side of my hand twice and went 10 yards over where I was trying to throw it. It doesn’t ever happen in like one in a thousand throws, but it happened twice tonight. It’s brutal, but that’s the way this position goes. And that first one was the difference in the game score-wise, momentum-wise, everything. I had a guy open on a curl route and the ball just floated out of the side of my hand. It’s unfortunate.” “I’ve been on a lot of really good football teams and a lot of the best teams I’ve been on, sometimes a loss like this isn’t the worst thing to bring the realization that you’re not just going to go out and beat everyone by 30 points,” Nichols added. “This will be a great learning experience for everyone, including myself, that we need to play better football to win football games.”

You've sure got a strange outlook on life...

I'm not sure how that came through the tone of my post. Argos SHOULD be a gimme win and, as TBurg correctly posted, are exactly what a team needs to get their confidence back.

That's brutal. As much as it makes might help the Bombers quest for a GC I sure don't want to see that to any team. What a shame. The whole situation was exactly what happened to Nichols in camp last year but didn't hold him out quite as long.

So much 20 20 Hindsight....

Seconded....DnB is my new fave poster right now (...but Bigg Jay I still love you...) It was a collective pants shitting. Osh will clean it up and Toronto will get their asses handed to them next week.

It's not about whether or not Streveler is ready....it's about having confidence in your starter, who's been arguably the best QB in the league so far this year. You give him the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to work his way out of it.

And there's no way you could know we were gonna have injuries to the receiving corps. Plus he doesn't play STs so there was no way he was gonna dress. I just despise the stupid revisionist history or 20/20 hindsight oelr whatever you want to call it.

It's absurd to look with hindsight and say we should have started Matthews. Completely ridiculous to say that.

Yep.. Harris has been good, but he's looked really slow.

Oh Nichols is getting plenty of blame, and it's warranted.

Looked old and slow after the catch a few times this year, I thought.
