I don’t look at yards as the main measuring stick for QB success. I look at how how well the offence moves the ball using both the run and the pass. In BC Nichols was very effective at sustaining drives and completing passes when he needed to. Against Edmonton he started out reasonably well but regressed as the game wore on. While he wasn’t terrible on Thursday I don’t consider his play very effective at all, as a couple of big plays by Whitehead padded his stats. Playing like he did against Edmonton will hurt the Bombers going forward, and he has to be better. Can’t rely on the defence to bail the team out every game.

Bombers should have won going away. Offence just went cold especially Nichols. Thank goodness the D came to play.

You know I think I can find better things to do than watch the end of this disaster. Like clip my toenails.

I missed the game but I saw him get beat for 1 TD. Was he just as bad the rest of the game?

I didn’t get to see the game but Rider fans were crowing about their defence prior to the season and after the Hamilton game. Sure looks like a terrible performance from them against questionable QB talent. I’d be a little worried if I were a Rider fan.

OMG, you are contradicting Rod “swami” Pedersen. I agree with your post, Bombers do have a d3cent shot this year. I knew ther were some reasonable Rider fans out there.

I recall a Bomber win a couple of years ago in Regina when a rider was called on a high hit on Nichols (I think), and a particular poster on Riderfans was mad at the call and posted "Suq it up, Nancy. It's Football". Shoes on the other foot and suddenly we have a league problem. To be fair, Lawrence deserved and ejection and a suspension for that hit.

Real nice to see the big play by Schrott. About the only highlight for me really.

I don’t think he’s even shown up in Winnipeg. Assuming he is under contract that would be grounds for suspension. Aaaaaand I get “trumped” again.

I wasn’t aware Corney retired due to injury concerns. I must have missed that discussion on here because I was surprised the Bombers didn’t try to re-sign him. Now I know.

Last Bombers pick is a dB from Montreal. Certainly a candidate for longest last name in the CFL.

Riders haven’t touched oline. Not good for them so I like it.

Won’t like the weather here.

I just gave up on it and went to cfl.ca draft tracker

Joe Mack & Miles Gorrell in ALs draft room.

I stand corrected. Man if I did a mock I would have just crapped the bed big time.

Can’t see Calgary passing on Wilkinson.

We’ll get him in the 3rd.

Oliveira is a good pick.

Kongbo it is. Yes yes yes.

Desjarlais it is. Good stuff.

TSN top brass + goats + camera = permanent employment for Rod Black

With Rod Pedersen leaving the Riders maybe they will get someone a little more level headed/fair minded. His schtick of predicting the Bombers to miss the playoffs year after year under MOS and Walters was growing tiresome. The only joy I got was watching that prediction fail miserably, year after year.

Holy Schniekes! Moving to Winnipeg too. Huge, absolutely huge. Kudos to Walters and the Bomber management team.

Always liked Jake. Quality National depth.
