Can you send me some of whatever it is that you take, that allows you to see into different dimensions? Next you're going to say, without a football, we wouldn't be playing football. Or something magical like, Without IGF the Bombers would be playing somewhere else. Your insight is refreshing and delightful.

Hes also never been shut out...by anyone...ever.

He can only beat who is put in front of him. You're right though, I'm sure if Collaros were playing things would have been much different, just look at the last time Nichols played against Collaros. The riders at least scored some points in the Wsf.

Enjoy Reilly and his stats

I'm sorry that I like QBs who win football games. Like I said, it's ok if you dont. We just have different standards/preferences.

I wish I could heart this.

I was more inspired by the WSF game personally.

Yeah thatbwasnt what I meant. I meant, if a healthy Bo stayed in, would the results have been the same.

Remember that time 5+ years into Peyton's career when he missed the playoffs....? Do you? Do you remember that year? No...you dont. Because he is a great qb who didnt miss the playoffs. For me the difference between good and great, is lifting your team to win when they shouldn't have. When you didnt really have the best team, even when you had to make up for other parts of your team due to lack of talent. Reilly did that years ago. He no longer is....he was great,he is now good. That will change to mediocre if the losing continues. This is just my opinion. It's fine if you're ok with QBs who dont win. That's perfectly acceptable. I just like when the qb I cheer for wins more then he loses.

Your bias is showing. I never mentioned he couldn't move the ball. Not winning the game, shows he didnt do what a great qb would have. I can guarantee he feels the same.

No I'm not. I'm saying Reilly is a good qb, because he can obviously move the ball well enough. He is not a great qb, and hasnt been for at least the better part of a year, due to the fact that he doesnt do whatever is needed to win football games. Good qb yes, great no.

From what they showed on tsn, it was a non contact injury for Bo. Shoulder injury again, wasnt that what was hurting him last year? That cant be good.

I think hes been great. And had great seasons. I dont consider missing the playoffs or not winning a game 3 weeks into the year great. Thats fine if you do. Maybe I just have higher standards.... What has he done this year to be considered great? Right now, hes making more money than anyone else and is win less. Is that good value? Sure it's a team game, and he should get let off for the play of his Defense. But at what point do we say Reilly isnt the player he used to be? Hes played with bad Olines and worse receivers and won. Hes not the guy who won MOPs. Defenses have figured him out, take away the deep ball and your chances of winning go way up. He has been great, until he actually wins a game, I dont consider him great today.

When were those great seasons? Last year when he and his team missed the playoffs? Or the start of this win less year? When's the last time Reilly played well and won a game? Can anyone remember?

Anyone think CGY wins if Bo Levi stays in the game? I didnt watch so it's an honest question.

This isnt my thought....but if the coaches of the team thought Streveler was better at that time, he would have been starting...so A) the coaches of bombers dont know what's going on as well as we do, or b ) the coaches have close inside knowledge of who gives them the best chance and make the decision based on multiple aspects that most fans have 0 or to close to 0 knowledge of.....I know what I'm betting on.

Down the stretch I can see the reasoning. Protecting the ball was extremely important. So I an understand it then. But why not get him some time in the 3rd q or even the 2nd when things started to unravel

Thank you!!!

Sorry, what's more important than scoring points? I'm not sure you answered my question.

Banks is legitimately one of the biggest ******* in the league. Guy has at least one tantrum every game. Solid player, but I've always considered him a baby.

Yeah might be time to see what Rios can do

I also think people are discrediting Edmonton. Me being one them. They've played at a high level for 3 straight games now. That's not a fluke. It's a trend. They are one of the top teams in the league and if they continue will finish 2nd behind Nichols and team

I was pretty surprised we didnt see more of hi. Either honestly. Hoping that's not a trend that continues, he needs in game, relevant reps.

Yes if reality wasnt reality things would be different. Great observation

So here's the thing, people a nitpicking stats. Nichols has a history of being a game manager who doesnt take chances....sure, I agree. He also has a history of LEADING an offence that scores more points then any other team....by a large margin. So while completing 5 passes a half isnt the greatest strategy, there is literally nothing in the past that suggests it will continue. His past performances suggest, for the majority of time anyways, that he will put points on the board more effectively than other teams. Can someone show me a stat that's more important?
