White Out

I'm so sick of people holding up Ottawa as an example of a great franchise. They play in a **** division.

Jesus Christ is there anything more insufferable than the ongoing "our backup QB is a hero" **** that exists in Winnipeg fans? I want to dive off a cliff.

I'm inclined to agree, with the caveat that there must be some sort of progress. There has been progress with the Canadian Mafia, and it would be beyond stupid to ransack our regime at this point.

I don't like MOS as a coach, especially early on. But we've become pot committed to him. He's developed and learned from SOME of his mistakes, but also keeps making some loyalty based decisions that harm the team. Lapolice sucks, and needs to go. His play calling is abysmal and predictable. Hall seemingly has turned around the defense and I would find it difficult to justify terminating him. I wouldn't lose sleep over it either. So where does that leave us? Honestly no clue I feel like the entire staff is likely to come back. 2019 has to be put up or shut up time for this group, doesn't it?

I don't hold his age against him so much as his inability to throw the ball very well. This isn't college ball, your qb has to have an arm

Calgary may lose BLM and singleton to nfl. Your homer writer Pederson swears it. The Riders we're the biggest smoke and mirror show in CFL history and will struggle to make playoffs next year.

I think Matt Nichols can win us a championship , but, your premise is flawed. Next season who do we realistically have as an option for QB?

Better than the actual CFL Justin Goltz, Alex Brink, and good gravy the list goes on.

Jennings has been progressively getting worse year after year. No thanks.

Can we debate the same thing? During that 3 decades we had Khari Jones and Milt Stegall, and one of the most prolific passing attacks in our league history. Kevin Glenn was a legit starter. I was specific about not wanting to wander the QB wasteland. As a 38 year old man, believe me, I am painfully aware of our teams shortcomings championship wise. I would amputate a foot for a Grey Cup if I could.

I can't take people seriously who will demand a change at QB, unless that change is Mike Reilly. The CFL is at all time low for QB quality, and I'd rather not wander the desert for a decade like we did pre Nichols thanks. We need better people at receiver (Matthews would have been nice) and we need an upgrade on the defensive line.

Well, now you're adding to it. If he said "it was the teams not fault me" I would agree. But now you're reading into what he's saying and literally adding words. Cmon.

I really don't think you're going to convince a lot of people that words uttered to media are going to some how impact performance from the player.

Yeah that's a bit of a stretch man. Remember when Helley had a terrible season last year and he thought he played good? (the year before last I mean)

yeah I was doing voice to text in my car. I dont care what people say in the media. Why get bent out of shape over that? What matters is on the field. We seem to be progressing as an organisation. Granted, not as fast as Huff turned around Calgary, but we are.reasonably on track. We got beat by the #1 team in the league who had a bye week and played their very best on D they possibly could. We lost by one score. It happens.

Matt Nichols did enough to win us the game in the last two playoff games we lost in 2017 and 2016. We lost those games because the defense imploded and O'Shea made some very questionable calls. Nichols absolutely from the back next year except for Reilly, and I have a tough time getting into somebody's mindset that disagrees with that. Who starts if not Nichols at Reilly?

Unless we sign Mike Riley, Matt Nichols is going nowhere and will be the starter next year and people really need to get used to that. He didn't have a good game yesterday, but neither did anybody on offense really outside of Andrew Harris. Even the Run blocking, which was good most the time, also screwed us over on a couple second and shorts. Calgary had perhaps the best defensive game I've seen in the CFL in decades and unfortunately had to be against us. I'm as deeply disappointed as anybody as a fan, but there's a lot of positives to look forward to next year, and we beat the Riders in their own building in the playoffs. It's nothing to sneeze at.

Wow this one still stings. I really thought this would be the year. I feel gutted.

NIchols was bad. Very bad. Streveller missed a wide open Harris for a go ahead TD in late 3rd quarter in a defensive struggle. It is what it is. He's a big, white, heavy Nealon Greene.

Our goal next year has to be to finish 1st, and get the home game for the West final.

He's not ready. Unless you intend to get rid of Nichols and spend the savings on receivers.

Yeah. Can't pay him 400k. I'd sooner part ways with him, upgrade on the receivers and promote Streveler. Or throw money at Reilly.

I kept waiting for the game plan to change, but lapo wasn't willing.

Wasn't JUST Nichols. That was a really bad game from our qb. Receivers were bad, play calling atrocious, but no need to pretend he had even an average game.

I'm saying this loss falls on a number of factors, including and not limited to Nichols. You must have very loving parents to deal with your comprehension problems.
