I finally got my wish of JFG starting over Kohlert. Here's to hoping he pulls through for me so I don't look like a fool!

I finally got my wish of JFG starting over Kohlert. Here's to hoping he pulls through for me so I don't look like a fool!

A player like Loffler comes along maybe once every 10-15 years and good receivers pop up in the CFL pretty much every year.

To recap:
Normand rushes against backups in the final few drives when the game is out of reach for Ottawa and their players are avoiding injuries, drops easy, wide open TD pass = monster game
Nichols plays in same game, has 300 passing, two TDs (both gorgeous throws), an OL full of backups that had him peeling himself off the turf, some beauty deep balls, and his one pick on what should be a first down that volleyball Kohlert hands to the other team = bad game
Reason: Nichols was playing against their fourth string QB with three better QBs ahead of him, and as we all know, backup quarterbacks play defence!
Makes sense to me! ?‍♂️

Pleased to see Nichols has re-found his touch on the long balls, some of those passes he threw yesterday were absolute beauties.

So the trade deadline rules that didn't allow Carter and Stanford to be signed don't apply to a player coming out of retirement?

At the beginning of the year we were hoping to be at least at 500 and perhaps sneak into the playoffs. Yesterday was not pretty to say the least but hey, S*** happens. Next week is the last of the regular season then it's a brand new season where we are all at the same level. Home game advantage is the only difference but for us it's been an disadvantage. Every QB except that robot in Calgary have seen at least one bad game. Better now then later.

So the new scenarios are now as follows if I'm not mistaken:
Edm for 2nd only happens if they win out and both Wpg and BC lose out. 
BC for second only happens if they win one more game than WPG in final two (we lose out and they split with SSK or we split with OTT and they sweep SSK)
WPG for 2nd is the highest percentage possibility, because BC needs to finish ahead of us, not just tied, and EDM needs two wins to tie and two WPG losses. 
I predict: 
Edm loss to Ham, securing their crossover. 
BC split with SSK
WPG split with OTT
If WPG wins this week and BC loses, we clinch 2nd. 

I'd take Carter here in a heartbeat. A lot of people here seem to believe the picture the Als organization is painting and take it as gospel. I think Popp and Cato are the bigger problems over there and Carter is an easy scapegoat because of what folks have seen in the media. Listen to his interview on TSN from this morning. He's calm and well spoken, he only gets fired up on the field. We all heard Nichols yell at Kohlert (and I imagine Smith) after they both dropped passes on Fri, Kohlert's leading to an INT. If the Bombers were in the shape that Montreal is in, the media and everyone here would all be going on about how Nichols is a cancer blah blah blah and highlighting that clip a hundred times over. 
Is Carter as bad as he's made out to be? Maybe, but I'm not going to assume that based on what I saw with the Als. I'd rather see for myself. Considering the guy is one of, if not the, best receivers in the CFL. 
As wbbfan pointed out, Bolden and Sellers were both considered trouble at one point, and here I am with both of their jerseys proudly  hanging in my closet. Or how about this one for you? Ever hear of a guy named Andrew Harris? How short our memories are about his public words last year and prior  
Worst case we cut him, best case we add a 1,000 yard receiver to our roster. Our locker room is tight, he isn't going to change that.

Argos-"We suck!" Als-"Ha..we suck more!"

Sounds like the plan!

I wonder if they move dressler to SB and Gurley to WR and have smith as back up

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.

Love this and love that the Bombers are creating so much editorial content these days. Very happy to have Gurley on our team, can't wait to see what he does next week!!

I agree. We should be scoring 58 points every game. Nichols blows.

Wasn't even direct snap to Kohlert! It was a direct snap to Harris, who flipped to Kohlert, who tossed to Nichols.....INSANITY!!!!

Lots of folks listing Kohlert as the Canadian receiver in the starting lineup. I'd just like to throw my hat in the ring for JFG. I feel like he's been substantially better than Kohlert this year in limited reps.
