The problem is we don’t know this (despite some people claiming otherwise)... it’s easy to lay “blame” when you know the play call... if check down is actually the second read then LaPo is to blame but if Nichols is making one look then checking down, it’s Matt’s fault...

Yea, that wasn’t really directed at you... more to the general populous... I heard many a grumbling around me after that play also...

There's a lot of things to criticize Matt Nichols about... but this isn't one of them... he had 5 yards to go with three Calgary defenders converging... if he goes for that he gets throttled and the same idiot rumblers would've said "why doesn't he slide more often"...

I know my comment was pretty good... but I don't think quoting it 15 times was really necessary!

I think some people still forget that Nichols is - by far - the best QB we've had since Kevin Glenn 1.0... I like Nichols and I'm 100% confident that the best version of him is good enough to win a Grey Cup... where I'm starting to get very concerned.... is how often are we getting the best version of Nichols??... at this point, it's 4 out of 7 games.... which is not often enough...

They should offer free upgrade for the people who bought out the cheap seats... then resell the cheap seats....

Funny, me too... I jumped on the band wagon as a youngster watching the Warner-Faulk greatest show on turf.... the last few years I've been torn... they're finally good again, which is great... but I hate cheering for a team in a major market (and yes, I realize they were originally from LA)...

I like this for a thread... good way to keep an eye on who's doing well and who might shake loose... here's a little blurb about Sam Eguavoen... https://www.palmbeachpost.com/sports/20190730/miami-dolphins-cfl-linebacker-with-stops-at-footaction-and-police-academy-is-surprise-of-training-camp

That would be amazing if Collaros tore it up in Toronto... 😂

I think that's just for "depth chart" purposes... I suspect Lucky and Bailey will also be involved in the return game...

You don't pull your starter in a one score game... the blow outs against Tor and Ott were the times that Streveler should've played more... and been given the full play book...

I know what you mean... I also drink a lot more when I'm just with my kids...

Right now, I’m glad the coaching cap exists... otherwise I could see MLSE making a call to Mike and Kyle this off season with the ol “whatever they’re paying you, we’ll double it”...

I used to take the Southdale park and ride in the mid-2000s... those were some rowdy bus rides... we got in trouble more than a few times for alcohol consumption... surprisingly no tickets or arrests though ... good times!...

These two points from @Geebrr and @Rich are 100% correct... those who don't like the stadium location come up with all this revisionist history about how easy it was at polo park... I can often remember sitting in traffic in my car or on a bus for 20-30 minutes without even getting on to Portage... and they act like they parked right outside their gate and just drove off the lot...

I have no idea what this means...

I suppose that's true but they serve different purposes... Orlesky provides updates while Sanchez provides analysis... there's probably a different standard...

Darrin Bauming continues to insist on using the term "healthy scratch" for Matthews... while it is possible he is almost healthy and he certainly is scratched... "healthy scratch" is a nice way of saying benched for performance or other issues... I believe it's more of a "rest up so you're healthy in the long run" type of scratch...

I wonder if TSN is ready to close the book on James Wilder being an elite player...

I don't mind what he says... he's just not a good broadcaster... he's been doing it for a couple years now and he's still fumbling over his words and not able to articulate himself properly.... compare that to a guy like Chris Bosh... he was basically making his broadcast debut on TSN working the Raps final and he speaks on camera like a seasoned veteran...

I figured Calgary and Edm had minor pro ball similar to the goldeyes...

I highly doubt Edmonton, Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal and Calgary have less sporting options than Winnipeg...

A few things wrong here... - first "the trinity" @Noeller is referring to is Miller/Walters/O'Shea... - The biggest difference between Mack and Walters is that Walters is willing to own his mistakes and cut ties before it's too late... Mack just doubled down on those mistakes b/c he's the smartest guy in the room.... and saying that Mack never scouted a single one of his draft picks isn't exactly an endorsement for him... - finally, we have no idea who made those comments about Mack... I think it's likely someone not even associated with the Bombers anymore maybe not even in the CFL anymore... Maybe Burke haha

you're kind of proving his point... I agree that the game plan was bad and Calgary out-coached the Bombers in every facet... but to suggest Nichols played good in that game is ridiculous....

I'm not sure which GDT you were reading... but I recall Chip being almost exclusively positive during the Argos game....
