  4. GDT: Edmonton @ Winnipeg June 27, 2019

    You guys can ***** about Nichols all you want be we scored 28 points before going Vanilla. 

    Edmonton was providing alot of pressure and our interior oline wasn't playing that well. 

    Nichols was rushed alot and got happy feet or Panicked a bit. 

    But he looked WAAAAAAY better then Rielly did against the same defence last week that slaughtered BC.

    But Whatever.

    we are 2-0 and won by 7 points.  It shouldnt have been this close if the O-line was last years oline and not playing inexperienced people. 

    But. We won

    We won

    We wont against Edmonton that beat up the other 2 teams so far.

    So far we have beat both western teams we played.

    Ugly or pretty, I don't care.. Win.. WIn Win. 

    If we win the grey cup 3-1 or 30-22, i don't care. 

    We have alot of players on offence that are making plays and once Nichols/Streevler/whomever gets in the rhythm and the timing down with the rest of the receivers its gonna be lights out..

    their Dline shut down our run game, and we still run

    But **** you all for making me positive when i would normally be picking the team apart.

    Pretty sure the Jet Package needed to be used more.

    Harris had some big moments in Ottawa too.  To me he is the same guy. Montreal and BC aren't the strongest competition to start the season. Bombers handled BC easily while playing a sloppy game, Edmonton will be good but they aren't juggernauts yet.

    True about BC and Montreal but they still looked dominant against those teams.  We did not dominate BC that way they di.  But we also didn't have Matthews etc.

    its not on Franklin i don't think.  Their receivers were not getting open, there run game wasnt moving and their o-line was getting pushed around.. .Very similar to the EDM - BC game last night but BC had Rielly that was able to get the ball to his recievers sometimes.  And the TO Defense was out to lunch on alot of those Touchdowns,

    You know that was definitely the knock on Bishop throughout his career in the CFL... but given how often he was brought into shitty situations with little to no time to actually learn a playbook it's hard to judge how much of his inadequacies were the result of the situation he was put into.   The fact is that for the seasons he spent in Toronto he did a pretty adequate job as QB.

    Look at 2009... yeh his numbers sucked, but how many QB's would really be able to come in halfway through a season and have great numbers running the Mike Kelly offense?
     

    I almost think the period from 2010 - 2014 wouldn't have been so bleak if we had just kept Bishop around for the whole time (although Buck was nice to have when he was healthy)

     

    Bishop was knocked for not being smart which i don't think was the case.

    Atleast while with the bombers, he was at home down south when he got the call and started the first week he was here.    If i recall correctly he stopped listening to the calls MIke Kelly was calling and started running his own plays and Kelly was livid.  I also recall that he was shaking his head at kelly on the side line, ran the play, it was blocked/picked and he turned at Kelly with his arm up and yelled i told you so.

    Kelly was an egomaniac.  He may have done alot better had he been humble and didnt try to make it all about him and his way.. The pistol package and jet package etc.  What a ******* tool.. I'm been a fan since i was a kid in then late 80s, and Kelly is the only Coach i have ever hated and wanted them to DIE.  I couldn't wait for Kelly.

    Reinbold was horrible, but was really likable and the players loved him

    I thought Lefors was healthy for the first 4 games but the offense was absolutely terrible. I don't blame him as I do remember the play calling and confusion was a huge reason for the ball not being moved.      He ended up getting hurt and they hauled in Bishop.

    What I did not know was that he had worked out Casey Printers in the off season... I never knew that we had interest in Printers.

    I Remeber us looking at Printers.  Printers looked good in BC and then failed horribly when he didn't have a good supporting cast to move the ball.   he was a motivational speaker though.

    He is just along for the ride.  Hand off to Harris and don't do anything dumb Matt. Don't try to throw too many passes , we don't want any turnovers. 

    I'm sorry.. and i'm not being a hommer here, but Nichols is underrated by most fans in the CFL as he is not as flashy as Rielly or bo Levi.  He plays with what is called by Lapo and in past seasons we had only one deep threat that was always covered (Adams) and they were forced to dump it off of make shorter throws.   These were all pretty effective and we moved the ball and scored alot of points.   Now that we have multiple Deep threats (adams, mathews, whitehead,Wolitarsky et all) we have already seen Him and Lapo stretch the field multiple times in preseason and last week.  I believe that this will continue to happen throughout the season assuming those receivers are open and can make the catches. 

     

    I'm perfectly happy with the well rounded offence we have currently and wouldn't want to swap out Nichols for Rielly or Bo Levi with their associated salary. I think we have the potential to be a high scoring offence while balancing between deep, mid, short throws and a ground game.  Its going to be very hard for teams to defend and shutdown when we have the potential to go anywhere on the field.  I think Nichols is essential to us being successul and and Collaros, David, Harriss Et al would not be able to deliver.

    Why does throwing for 300+ mean anything? Why does a QB have to throw for 300. Yes it looks great on the stats sheet and looks impressive overall but dont wins mean more than stats? Reiley threw for over 300 and lost. Mitchel threw for 275 and lost. I see plenty of QBs throw for 300 and still lose the game. 

    Pardon my ignorance, but is the yardage calculated only while the ball is in the air or does it include YAC?  If its the later, i would suggest that our receivers suck for not getting more yards after the throw (j/k) and perhaps our defence was weak if BC was racking up so Many YAC yards.

    Again pardon my ignorance (really),  I only focus on Jet Packages.

    It's funny, that's not what I said at all. Tells me all I need to know about your reading competence. FTR: "Both QB's played well. Nichols performance didn't win us the game and Reilly's performance didn't lose them the game".

    To add... The level of defence each QB played against are quite different. Switch the QB's to the other team wouldn't have made any difference to the outcome. Bombers still win.

    I completely disagree.

    Nichols made the reads and scrambled on atleast the one TD after the pocket collasped and extended the play.  

    Nichols put the ball where the defence wasn't.    Rielly did as well but missed recievers/open players.
