I feel like we'll see a 50 50 split of McGuire and Collaros on Friday night...
That would be the best plan. Get everyone some reps before playoffs.

Re: Lucky. I read that when Adams was sitting out this week, Lucky moved to his spot and Bailey played Lucky's. With Adams suiting up, that could mean Lucky sits this week.

Love Alexander at safety. Will be nice to have someone that can cover play safety.

And some of the worst open field tackling technique you’ll ever see. Like someone in an inflatable sumo suit just running at another person, no wrapping ever.
Great analogy. It's just awful to watch.

after that run by Big Chris to the Edmonton 3 yard line Matthews came running over and offered Big Chris a high five and a hand up, and Big Chris just shrugged him off and kind of ghosted him. I thought "That was odd" at the time and re-watched it several times. Big Chris is usually the first to give a team-mate a high five/congrats, so it was out of character for him to shun Matthews like that, especially after a big run. Something wasn't right.
I noticed that too. Thought it was odd for sure.

Wasn't a drop. That ball to be over the other shoulder between the wr and the sideline. Not between the wr and the db. He put Mathews in a bad and dangerous position.
Two hands on the ball, receiver needs to catch that. Lots of guys catch balls and get hit every damn game.

18/22 for 177, would have been 20/22 with 220 and TD pretty easily if Woli and Matthews catch those balls. Agree totally that Nichols needs to throw to his receivers more vs just dump offs to Harris. Lapo doing him no favours calling for run on just about every first down, leaving second in obvious passing situations every time.

Grant - obviously
Harris - tough 100 yard game
Sayles - INT, sack, couple of BS penalty calls
HH - Hallet with the fumble recovery, maybe could have scooped and scored but focused on just getting the ball.

Awful offensive play calling. Draw on the QB draw on the goal line with Nichols in? Sure, it's not expected but not likely to succeed either.
Wildcat with Harris? He's obviously getting the ball and running. Two games in a row that he's tried that with a fumble and a procedure as a result.
Where were the screens?
Nice to see a couple deep shots, if only Matthews and Woli caught them.
Agree totally with Suitor (ugh), Nichols is playing not to throw picks. Needs to get back to earlier in the season when he was attempting more than 2 passes down field a game.

Excited to see Grant on the returns. With 8 return TDs in college, his highlight video is something else.

Freaking out is a bit of a stretch. With or without Matthews the club looks to be well on their way to playing in the cup. I believe your missing point. It’s more like disappointment or shock that one of our biggest free agent signings is going to be a healthy scratch for the second game in a row and has done squat since returning to the Bombers including exhibition. Nobody expected him to pull a Bowman. At least Bowman made it into some games. I’m a huge Matthews fan especially since his press conference after signing, so yeah it’s a bit surprising.
He really hasn't pulled a Bowman though. Bowman was healthy and did nothing. Matthews just hasn't been able to get healthy yet. Having a big receiver like him will come in handy when the weather gets colder.

Bauming on 1290 right now saying speculation is that Matthews is a healthy scratch.
6 minutes ago, Noeller said:That doesn't make any sense, unless there's some weird off-field stuff that hasn't come to light...
Ya, gonna call BS on him being a healthy scratch. It's not like Lawler was great in his place. Matthews said he was good to go, but players always say that. I'm sure Bighill would have said that too the last couple weeks.

I think he’s better then Davis so I’m not too sure it is good news
Not sure if he's better, but he certainly can be explosive.

Not quite, they remove McGloster on the AR, so Bighill can still end up as the healthy scratch.
O'Shea being O'Shea, letting the opponent guess.Likely Bighill or Temple as the scratch depending on Bighill's health.

I'm a Nichols fan but he is not having a great season so far... especially with the level of protection that he's getting
He's right there with the other starters. Can definitely be better but his accuracy in OTT wasn't an issue.
Weird that Strevler is being pumped up on that link. Did he even attempt a pass further than 10 yards downfield? -

It's been Ritchie Halls MO for a long long long time. It's not going to change so we better just get used to it. Bombers D plays a pretty physical game and makes teams generally have to put together long drives to score. That wears an offense down over the course of the game, and on offense the idea is the same. Grind it out, play safe and win by beating the other team down.
Bombers really are the ground and pound style of team rather than the flashy team.
Exactly. They gave up over 300 yards passing, but on 54(!) attempts.

Not a great but a W is a W.
Bodes well for the rest of the season when they can have that many mistakes ans still win.
If you had told me that Harris would have 30 yards rushing and 2 fumbles, Woli, Adams, and Matthews would have a combined 16 yards receiving and we would lose the turnover battle (before the last two on downs for the Esks), I'd have said no way we win.
The fact that they win a game like that, against a decent team, without scoring on D or teams shows that they are legit.

Grant, Ploen, Stegall for all the reasons posted above. Went with Cameron for the 4th pick based on how long he played with the blue.

Week of Stamps @ Bombers

Fenner is on the 1-game, Rios back to the PR. So, looks like Rios benched, Fenner hurt.
