    do they still do the Coaches Show on CJOB on location somewhere, or is this just done in studio??   Definitely want to listen tonight, but would probably head down to wherever it's being done if they still do that!

    I do not think that you will hear anything of substance on OB tonight or any other coaches' show. It is 90% commercials with a few cliches and generalities sprinkled in.

    I have no problem with Matt Nichols as our starting qb as he's the best we've had since Kevin Glenn in 2011.  He needs help from everybody on the offense from LaPo  to the offensive line. He also needs MOS to stop butting in & playing the qb carousel game at times. His actions started this whole thing plus his words of, "He gives us the best chance to win" when down by a bunch of points with 2 mins left. MOS was the problem. Not Nichols. 

    You neglected to mention the pathetic effort from the defensive part of the team. As much as Nichols was not as good as he ought to have been, if he was on the field longer, that may have altered the outcome, even if the Bombers still lost. And it is not for nothing that the coaches will be blamed.

    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.

    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
