  4. Regular Season Bomber News

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

    It’s a bit of an interesting scenario. Nichols is a better overall qb right now, but given his age and injury history you have to think he is close to peeking if he hasn’t already. Strevlor s the best of the back ups hands down...actually he’s better than half the starters in the CFL. He has a ways to go to become as complete as Nichols, but he has a lot of the intangibles that can perhaps help him surpass Nichols in a couple years. The debate can also be made with regards to O’shea and Lapolice. Which of the two will benefit the team long term? If the club wins the Grey Cup I would be more inclined to perhaps trade Nichols and maybe let O’Shea go to Toronto. Nichols and O’Shea could possibly save the Argos. Strevlor would continue to grow under Lapolice’s tutelage, and would give Laoplice a multitude of ways to be used. Again I would only give any consideration to this idea if the Bombers were successful winning the Cup this November. Just my opinion as not only a Bomber fan but a fan of the CFL.

    Maybe they don't think he is 100% healthy and want off the injury carousel.

    or

    Maybe he is not as up to speed having missed most of the season? 

    Does that seem plausible? 

    Sure and I hope it works. Like I said have his jersey, my grey cup tickets, flight and AirB&B booked. Nothing would make me happier than to see him grab the winning TD.

    Might want to check your stats on that again.

    Lawler replaced Matthews against Toronto as Matthews was injured in the game against Ottawa (injury #2). Lawler had one catch for 38 yard against Toronto. Matthews was then a heath scratch for the second Ottawa game. Tell me what am I missing.

    Calling him Adarius Bowman after he has played less than 2 games is a panicky 

    Even in the one full game he played he had a great catch wiped out by a penalty 

    You’re right. Comparing him to Bowman at this point unfair. The start to his season thus far(on and of the field) has been a bit surprising. Lucky 7....Unlucky 13?

    He missed games 1 & 4 due to injury though.  Sitting him for game 5 could just have been MOS keeping the bubble wrap on him.

    Fair enough. It has been a small sample size. I guess I’m just saying the combo of his bad luck regarding his injuries, underwhelming game two and 3(which I believe was out the second half) and the incident at LaRocha is a bit surprising to me. There’s a ton of time for him to turn it around and I hope he does. Even if he doesn’t...the team seems to be well stocked to keep winning without beat.

    Lol. If there’s no concern by anyone why would Wyman even mention it in his tweet. I’m just surprised how his season has started out. Did not see it coming. Including the incident the other day. I’m not crapping on the guy. I bought his jersey the first time he was here and again after he signed. I totally want to see him tear it up.

    Freaking out is a bit of a stretch. With or without Matthews the club looks to be well on their way to playing in the cup. I believe your missing point. It’s more like disappointment or shock that one of our biggest free agent signings is going to be a healthy scratch for the second game in a row and has done squat since returning to the Bombers including exhibition. Nobody expected him to pull a Bowman. At least Bowman made it into some games. I’m a huge Matthews fan especially since his press conference after signing, so yeah it’s a bit surprising. It’s not a concern with regards to the team in anyway.

    Spoke to someone that was there and he said Matthews threw the first punch. Not saying it’s 100% true, I wasn’t there, but hearing that from a couple people now. Hope there is a good explanation(ie: self defence or reacting to a threat).

    I’m concerned O’Shea and management are running out of patience with him. Sitting him out last week was a bit of a red flag.  Especially with all the great depth at receiver now.

    I still think if he can get himself together and get a bit of confidence he could very well be a huge part of this team. He’s not needed to be the impact player he was required to be last time in blue and gold.  He’s going to get less throws to him do to all the other options on the field, but he needs to make the plays when the opportunities present themselves. He made a 4 year commitment(?) to the club and the city for a pretty reasonable price, I’d hate to see him turn out to be a bust.

    I'd like to go but I'm having a knee replacement July 19th. Doubt if I'll be able to travel to Winnipeg or try to get around IGF.

    Got mine at 43 in 2015. Best decision. 8/10 pain since late 20’s, several months after rehab. Do NOT take Percs if offered. Makes a bad situation worse as they are extremely easy to become dependent. Hard to discontinue. Just my opinion. Stick to Tramocet and ice machine.
