I was but then my cheap calculator overheated and fried.

Some messed up pick ‘ems this week - except for those who went against the grain 

I have a question. Up until two weeks ago, after the games except perhaps the Edmonton game the word around town was LaPo had called a good game.  After the last two the word is Nichols just lost them. Yesterday, we had a great first quarter. In the second we had a turnover but at 20-0 that was quite manageable. Then things changed.  Nichols was throwing lots of passes away and Harris was no longer used. Why was that? Had LaPo changed his game plan or was Nichols telling him to go fly a kite and not interfere?
I would suggest Nichols is a team player and does what LaPo tells him to do. Now, maybe Nichols has blinders and can't see other receivers and throws it away. Anyway, I just can't see Nichols going rogue on his boss. He's the guy that can ask to sit him down.
So the question is: might it be that LaPo gets cold feet after getting a substantial lead and goes into a shell totally oblivious to what is happening around him? 13th man syndrome.

Based on the results of wins against a team that has gone 1-13?  Oh well, not our circus, not our monkeys.

Those guys are taller than the crossbar!  They're freaking enormous!!!!

Nope...that's what curling is for, damn it!!

Week 6 and it's still music to my ears:

Tough crowd! Had we lost  they would have needed to tell all the farm stores to lock the shovels and forks. We needed to win the game and that  was settled by half time.  The team's coaches decided to ease up in a gesture of sportsmanship. Why some blame Nichols for the play in the second quarter is beyond me. He was lights out in the first half and there was nothing that would not have made him play the same in the second half had he needed to. He was playing  MOS/LaPo's game. 
The only thing I think might have been good is if they had pulled Nichols to give the backups more play. Consequently, as a Bomber fan it was not as interesting  in the second half but the happiness of winning made it fun to watch.

Hey Ripper, you seem to be much more generous in your assessment of your QB as opposed to when assessing our's.  Those so called rookie mistakes looked a lot more like "deer in the headlights bailouts".

You deserve to be a Rider fan.
