New CFL fan here. Long time fan of the NY Giants and disgusted with the NFL. Thought I would start to follow the CFL and picked the Bombers as my team. Love the nickname. I'm in NJ and cannot root for Toronto because I am a Yankees & Islanders fan. Same with Montreal. Cannot cheer for a Montreal team when you're an Islanders fan. It was between the Bombers & the RoughRiders as my team and the gold & blue won. Have my 3 Bombers shirts already and I do get strange looks when I wear them.
Welcome aboard. We are still reeling from having out team's collective butts kicked in a game which ought to have been winnable, but the sun will still come up tomorrow. If we have a repeat performance this coming weekend against what is still probably the best team in our league, you may want to stay away from this site for a few days.

I don't doubt it was awful and I'm sure it didn't have any benefit to what's happening out on the field, but neither did Nichols going out there when our backup QB was working the ball down the field and Nichols had been playing terrible the whole game. At that point, it was kind of a "if the head coach doesn't care about this game, why should I?" moment for me.
I generally like O'Shea and think a lot more of him than some folks do, and I'm certainly a Matt Nichols fan as well, but I'm not going to blindly worship them if they're making bad decisions on the sidelines or playing like dog ****.
Winnipeg fans are the best in Canada if you ask me, but that doesn't mean we should be expected to put up with that kind of stuff from the team we cheer for. Matt Nichols has been great for us, but he hasn't been anything beyond average this year and he shouldn't be the unquestioned leader of our offence at this point, if you ask me. He's the starter but he needs to pick up his level of play or fans (not his coaches, because it's pretty clear they're going to throw the blinders on and ride or die with him this year) are going to start calling for Streveler. I won't start pushing the narrative that Streveler has statistically been better than Nichols this year, even though there's an argument to be made for it, but the one thing I did notice on Friday was that as soon as Streveler went in, our offence had a level of confidence that they hadn't had for the entire game until that point. If that continues to happen, Nichols is going to start getting a lot more boos than what he heard on Friday and if he doesn't like it? Too bad. Play better.
Nichols is being paid big bucks to do his best and take what comes with as much grace as possible. Blaming the fans for hurting his feelings when he was not playing well is not going to endear him to the fans.

I just read Darren Bauming's tweet (retweeted) about Nichols moving past Jack Jacobs in the all time Bomber passing yardage. You'll never guess who leads the passing efficiency rating stat?
Interesting.
Maybe, stepping back a bit...we need to cut the guy some slack.
The stats are averaged over his Bomber career, but does not address his performance over the past say, 10 games. That would be telling.

Actually we stopped them twice, but took a couple of dumba$$ penalties to give them a 2nd shot at it.
So,,,you're saying they scored every time, right?

Who? Williams-Lambert and Evans have been playing all year.
Haven't seen much of Williams-Lambert

Well, that field goal should pretty much decide the game.
-
I guess we have to take back all those comments about Collaros being washed up. And the Riders had a practice roster receiver step in and contribute big time- must make Corey Washington wonder

Must have been an import.

Still feels weird to cheer for the Stamps, though.

Ottawa barely beat Montreal. We should have smoked them.
The problems that were beginning to become evident in the Bomber wins really blew up in the Ottawa game, and Ottawa was slowly improving. Despite Calgary's performance thus far in this game, the Bombers are going to have their best game of the year to win

Stamps in real big trouble now. If they manage to pull this one out, it would be a small miracle.

I felt that play by Collaros was a fumble and pretty similar to the one Matty did Friday but who knows with CFL refs.
Collaros' arm was definitely moving forwards

If the Riders hang on to win today, we will be in real trouble come Labour Day.

Desperation, probably. Game is not over, though but Stamps look a bit rattled.

Collaros doing a credible impression of a quarterback

mhm after finishing with the second best record in the league iirc and winning his division.
I would say right now we are on track for some shaking up of the coaching staff in the off season. I dont think wade/walters n co will settle. I think plop will move on to a HC job and hall will be canned. I dont think mos is gone short of a gigantic implosion but I do think his seat gets warm next year if things dont move forward.
Do you not think that if O'Shea cannot see or deal with Hall's horrid defence, he is unfit to be a head coach?
That was painful...
