    Before he got hurt the Bombers were cruising to first in the west and Nichols was looking like the only thing that would prevent him from being an MOP candidate was Andrew Harris...

    I just do not understand how people can downplay Matt Nichols at this point. All he does for this team is win football games. Yeah it's not pretty and can be boring at times, but that's a Lapo gameplan when you're playing with a lead, which Nichols had more times than not this season. 

    It's because of this thing called Freedom of Expression.  Unfortunately, with this gift came an obligation to used it wisely and that is where things start falling apart.  While many of the league's QB's did the 300,400 or even 500 yard tricks our little ugly duckling would often not even pass for 200 yards but somehow kept winning games while leading the league in efficiency ratings.  

  2. From 7-0 to 9-5 in a wink of an eye.  From a mid-season slump to a late-season slump heading to a post-season slump.  Not funny I know but neither is the fact the guys we pay to guide the team to a cup have the team running around like chickens with their head cut off.  These people are not holding up their part of the agreement.  Fortunately, they are blessed with the best fans in the country but at some point these fans won't want to watch this kind of football. 

  3. I don't know how we can reasonably compare two quarterbacks on one series of plays. Had Nichols been the QB on the fist series we don't know what his first play would have been. How can we compare his situation to Streveler. Nichols might not have gotten sacked on the first play and could have been 1 and 10, 2 and 5  or with his propensity for throwing the ball away 2 and 10.

    Also, Nichols might have completed the two passes to Wolitarsky.  Sometimes I get the feeling our good fortune is not good enough for some. Why go to so much trouble to equate  a raw rookie with an experienced pro?

    He appealed it per Jeff Hamilton.

    I'm a huge fan of the Bombers and its organization because they always present themselves as an upright group that always takes the high road.. We have had no problems blaming others so as bad as it is we must remain on the side of what the league is wanting to do. I am sure Harris tried to explain his case and it did not stick. Why appeal it to get the same results while making himself sound more guilty. Forgetting the embarrassment it'd just like two one week IR's

    Hey, I always wanted to know how good Augustine is.  Looked pretty good a few weeks back.

  5. Sure a lot of speculations on the possibilities Nichols is done for a while. Once there is a confirmation and if it's not good for Nichols then all the coaches will work to prepare Streveler as the No. 1 man.  I like our chances with him taking some pressure off Harris and taking what Edmonton gives him. Hey! he beat out Bennett that we seems to be wanting now.  We have a great team that will give a bit more if things go South. Hopefully some will be able to come back off the injured list.
