    Yeah, me and brother thought maybe Nichols got hurt on the previous drive. Was such a weird choice. But it also speaks to the stubborness of the coaching staff. They obviously planned to have Streveler take a drive or two during the game. And regardless of how good or bad Nichols was playing...that was happening. No ifs ands or buts.

    No he hasn't. He had success in EDM, when they had a grey cup calibre team. Outside of that he's looked mediocre at best. This is also the second system he's been a part of in TO with similar results. I'm not Sayig Bridge is any better. I just don't get the trade idea for a guy who is showing everyone he doesn't have what it takes.

    Bridge has kinda shown the same, but he has played a bit more and a helluva lot cheaper. It may come down to who is more coachable.

    Yea. This is a trap game for Esks. 😂

    The Edmonton Inuit could be forgiven for feeling overconfident. They have the healthiest starting quarterback in the league and overall their starters  have not been decimated like much of the rest of the league. Given Streveler's inexperience, their defence is probably smacking their lips, but his tendency to take off with the ball may be a big advantage. I do not think much of their linebackers but their D-line is solid,

    I think Franklin's still got some upside. He's played one more game than Bridge, has 1400+ more yards passing, 8 more TD's and 5 more picks. Franklin's thrown for 3900+ yards in the CFL and has 21 TD's to 13 Int's, so I wouldn't call him a turn over machine. All but 1 of those picks are in the Toronto offence.

    To me the double clutching comes from not seeing what he expected to see or the receiver not being open.

    Franklin looked good in Edmonton's offence. Maybe's Toronto's offence is the wrong fit for his skill set or he hasn't fully grasped it yet. In either case, he'll likely get at least 1 more shot because he's had CFL success even after other teams got 'film' on him.

    I see several problems with a trade for Franklin, if it comes to that. Firstly, it would leave the Argos without any credible backup to Bethel-Thompson. Secondly, he would not come cheap and it has been very evident that Walters treasures his draft picks and has done well with them. Thirdly, it would be a clear signal that the Bomber brain trust has no confidence in either Streveler or McGuire, and that would be a Bad Thing. Fourthly, since leaving the Esks, Franklin has shown very little. So-  a hard no.

    At the rate Nichols injuries are adding up..... management was probably all ready working on this scenario before his latest injury 

    For all of Nichols' accomplishments, all the team has to show, but if this year results for his time here is...one playoff win. Before you succumb to apoplexy, this is obviously not all his fault, but if at the end of the season, all the team has to show for it is just one more playoff win, a shakeup has to be considered.

    I would bet the farm that Harris could start Friday, but I wouldn't put it past O'Shea to hold him out so as to keep him spry for the Rider games. I do not know if this would  signify that they are conceding the Esk game or if they think that the team can get along without Harris and Nichols.

    I blame this fiasco on Marcel Desjardins who more than ever this season has shown he really is the GM from Hamilton who ran that franchise into the ground. Not the guy who built the RedBlacks. Thinking he could win with Dominique Davis & Jonathan Jennings over Trevor Harris. Now his team is struggling. Great job, Marcel.

    To be fair to Desjardins, he lost a very good QB, and a top receiver with no way to replace Harris with a QB of equal or near-equal ability. Hard to pick up and carry on like you did before under those circumstances.

    Matt was a lot younger when he broke in with Edm.....Broke is the correct term as he broke his leg the first year....then managed to tear up his leg the next year causing him to lose the season....Is he injury prone?? I think the jury is out on that one and if you look at how he's come up nic'd since joining us.....hmmmmm you decide...Is it bad luck or bad bones...Look at the career of another qb....albeit the past ...Damon Allen for one...The guy was immune to injury so much so that he earned the nick name 'Gumby'..Some people are just built different and if you end up in the right category...longevity follows...I know which category Nichols belongs in and ...'brittle' is a descriptive word in that category

    So....we should nickname him "peanut'?
