    hey not to derail, but speaking of watching old games........YouTube and the CFL have really cracked down on games that used to be posted on there. I could find pretty much any game from the last few games on YT, but pretty much everything now gone. Anyone know of a way to watch games (specifically, was hoping to watch the crazy lightning late game vs Ham from last year) ???

    Dang, when did this happen? I just watched the banjo bowl on youtube a couple weeks back. I PVR'd the lighning game last year and watch occasionally (5-10 times over the winter). Opened up a can of whoop-ass on Hamilton in the first half.

    Hopefully the games re-emerge somewhere online.

    Those guys showed the big flashes early. Nichols could improve though, and would need to take a step forward next year like he did off last year.

    Interesting stats from a few pretty good QBs when they played 15 or 16 games earlier in their careers

    EDM    15    288    446    3327    16    11    7.5 Mike Reilly

    2010
    EDM    16    288    448    3565    11    16    8.0 Ricky Ray

    I dont think Nichols is a great qb but with what we've had to live with since Glenn he is.

    I'm not sure how he can get better. Don't stop look for another.

    Can't help but wonder how many of the losing seasons would be different if we had kept Glenn and developed a QB behind him as a future stater.

    If we bring in someone, it will be for backup position and that won't be Franklin.  With the long leash that Willy had with his struggles.  I expect Nichols to return next year.

    Im not convinced we've seen Nichols true potential. With the major injuries he's had in the past with Edmonton, I think he's a bit behind the progress that some of the other QBs such as Trevor Harris, BLM, Mike Reilly have had. 

    Let's see what he does in the playoffs before releasing and salivating over another potential f/a QB.

    This is the first winning record we've had in years with stability at the QB position (minus the first 5 games)

    Regardless what happens the rest of the season, Nichols deservers a full season as a starter with this team.

    Anyone else starting to think the Nichols might actually be a real starting QB? He is starting to remind me of what we hoped Willy was going to be.

    I think he's one of the best QB/Receivers in the league.:D

    He's exactly what this team has been missing compared to the turnover machines we've had at the QB position the last number of years. 

  18. Jersey Advice (Or: Streaks, Rallies, and Superstitions...)

    Preface: I have played competitive sports my whole life and am extremely superstitious. Don't mention the SO when there's a bagel up after 2 periods......don't go anywhere near the pitcher in the dugout when the no-no's going after the 7th..........backwards or inside out hats (or gloves) on the head at all times during a rally.....

    ......and, when the Bombers win, you HAVE TO wear the same jersey (and whatever else...) the following week, to maintain the good mojo.

    So, throughout the big win streak, I wore the same 2004-ish (first year of Reebok) royal blue blank jersey. I never washed it...nothing. I just hung it up after each game. Then, after Calgary loss, I thought "Ehhh that was a bit of a fluke...I'll keep wearing it...." and they get pounded by Reilly and the Esks. Soooooo........do I go to another jersey? Do I just wash the "lucky" one to try and bring the good mojo back??

    These are serious and important questions people........what to do for Saturday............?  I have about a dozen to choose from....Brown, Armstrong, Dunigan, Joe Pop...many many......

    Ha...I thought I was the only one doing this. I bought a new Jersey this year because obviously the others weren't working and I liked the new unis. They gave me a free Westerman 55 T-shirt with the order that I thought turned out to be a lucky charm. I wore it first watching the first Hamilton game that we won, then didn't wear it again until the second edmonton game. (was away at cottage and didn't want to take jersey).  Wow...big win.

    After that I thought I better keep wearing sometimes underneath jersey....through the next 7 games. After Calgary I stopped wearing it.

    Same problem...what to do?

    I get the feeling Milanovich isn't the easiest guy to get along with.  See Trevor Harris.  Add the fact that these guys were getting minimum salary while diving for catches in the dirt from their new high paid QB. I would give one of these guys a chance and if it doesn't work out, so be it. A change of scenery may help adjust attitudes. Could fill a void at least until Darvin Adams comes back. Walters always preaching about upgrading all positions. Gurley is an upgrade.
