I had a feeling Nichols was going to have another off game.  The offence completely disappeared in the 2nd half.  It has all season.   It was glossed over by lopsided victories , but should be a major concern now.
 

Jefferson
*Harris
Can't think of a 3rd.
Secondary was atrocious. 
*Harris fumble was costly.

Jesus... that  image is now seared into my mind... thanks... 

Two games in a row Nichols doesn't look settled.  He rushed too many throws tonight.  And once the Argos clued in and shutdown Harris they had this game.  And the defence was atrocious.  Too many 2nd and long palys given up.  Again torched for over 300 yds in the air.
 

one thing I learned after that game - never be the "next guy" after either Forde or Benevides has been using the wash-room....

The only reason I wished the Raptors lost to force a game 7 was so we wouldnt have to listen to rod black for 3 hours last night.   Oh well great performance by the Blue!  With Matthews coming back our O looks scary good!

I think the players name that was mentioned the most was that super hamburger Duane Forde and Benevides were going to eat.    
 

Considering what kind of mess the Bombers were in when Harris started his CFL career, I'm not sure it would have been doing him any favour to have drafted him then.

What seems to be lost on the Rider fans, and even some Bomber fans, is that Paul Lapo wanted, received, and agreed to an extra year on his contract. No one put a gun to his head. 2 year contracts are now the norm for coordinators. Why? Because they wanted multiple years of GUARANTEED salary in exchange for their signature. Lapo could have gone year to year on his contract if he wanted the freedom to leave whenever a job came up...but he didn't. He took a two year extension because that would guarantee his salary beyond one year. I hardly think it's fair for coaches/GMs to sign multi-year deals for GUARANTEED money and then cry foul when they are actually asked to honor them. We would honor the contractual payment if we had decided to move on from Lapo. If the coaches around the league truly want their freedom to move, it's quite simple, give up the GUARANTEED contract as a sign of good faith.

Haha.   The "almost" is the icing on the cake.   Bighill signing, this comment have made my day!

It's wishful thinking , but there may be a small chance we could resign him for cheaper.  or is that against the CFL CBA?

That really sucks about Randle.  I really hope we don't regret releasing him.

Why TSN keeps Rod Black is beyond me.

The scheme we ran against Edmonton is something that would be successful game in and game out, and get better as the defense settles into it too...why it wasn't done much if at all prior to this is somewhat baffling considering the results, as the main premise of it is not something new and exotic, nor unfamiliar in style to this league...very weird...and If they revert back to the "old" style they were using next game...something is really wrong.
Also too...the emergence of Sayles as actually being really good (was not sold on him originally) as well as Alexander really settling in and becoming a presence might possibly be allowing us to play this style more now...if things are gelling and coming together ...finally now and the defense is peaking....it's the perfect time for it to happen with playoffs coming right up and possible jockying for position in final standings

Edmonton looks very beatable right now... but they are playing at home.   I'm worried about Harris, Demski and Bighill missing that game.   I guess for ratio reasons, if Harris can't go, LaFrance is the next man up.    I would personally rather see Flanders .  That being said,  we need the W, no matter who is playing.

What a dumb call by Jones. Shoulda kicked the fg.  

lol....someone asked a good question....how did he pay for the cab, did he have his wallet in his helmet....

"Keep the meter running... our QB is on his way out the back door!"

We gotta take this one game at a time, with the personnel that we have.    The reality is that the Bombers do control their own destiny.  We start stringing some W's and we can go into the playoffs with a bit of confidence.   I hope the boys used the bye week to their advantage.
Annnnnddddd.... I still think Nichols can rebound (my medication hasn't worn off completely yet) 

I am saying be patient. These guys got us from **** to a lot of wins the past few years, why throw em all out on their asses at the very first sign of adversity? Let em rebound from this, they've earned that chance. 
 
But no, some of you are just so angry it's hard to believe you are functioning adults. Lashing out demanding people answer for these losses right now! I'm pissed off and I want blood! rabble rabble rabble. 

Perhaps I'm in the minority here but what's not to like about Walters?  He's brought in the talent to rebuild this sad sack team inherited from Joe Mack.   Say what you want but the guy has done a remarkable job . Lest we forget that we had a 3-15 team not too long ago.   The blame should squarely fall on the coaching. I'm running out of excuses to defend O'Shea.   Hall needs to go.  LaPo just looks lost right now.. no imagination again. Just like it was all those years ago.  This season is slipping away and changes need to be made.
