In reality lankford is the equivalent to our 8th D man in hockey.. Hes the depths backup.. That depth tho.. Thompkins happens to be starting now and looking legit. Lankford isn't good but hes not a guy who is gonna really make a difference one way or the other. I noticed petermann and simonise on the field a bit tonight.. Tells me Lankford likely wasn't.

MOS worst decision tonight was to pull a rookie QB with 2 minutes to go. Hes not out there missing throws and forcing throws and getting happy feet the second he feels any sort of pressure tho. I feel the coaches do 90 percent of their actual coaching during the practice week.. Its up to the players on game days to execute. Tonight? They didnt. Bottom line in sports... Coaches coach.. Players play. The only real issue besides taking the rookie out when we've already lost and im not 100 percent convinced that was his decision alone... Is perhaps he has put 2 much faith in our Coordinators

Here's a topic. Our O appears to be loaded with talent.. One of if not the best RB and OL in the league.. Adams. Demski. Dressler when healthy.. Thompkins looks legit. Lots of talent there... We are 5 and 4.. And in all 9 of those games.. Our QBs have thrown for under 300 yards.. If you combine Streveler and Bennett in the blowout Montreal win.. Once in 9 games. Yes Harris has been beast mode but to not pass for 300 in lets just say 8 of 9 games is assinine and a problem. Is it Nichols? Is it Lapo? Its gotta be 1 or the other.. Or is it both? So many 2 and outs the last several games... Is it square pegs in round holes or is Nichols the actual problem? 1 dimensional.. Doesn't run.. Likely a fear of being injured. Lapo? Pretty predictable at times.. Pretty dumb at others not using Beast Mode 33 more.

With Average QB play MOS and Walters look good. With below average QB play... They dont. Nichols has been below average for a few weeks now. The team has won a few games with Nichols sucking. Good coaching? Nichols is not having a good season. The O is loaded with talent and he hasn't passed for 300 yet. Yeah 33... But.. Throwing for mostly under 250 yards a start is bad QB play

Who has Calgary beat?

Im not saying to start the guy... But when Streveler comes in its 1 2 ball out... With nichols its 1 2 3 4 5 sometimes.

Ill say this... He looks scared to get hit. Its almost like everytime he feels pressure he starts to get scared.. I personally think he's injury prone and he knows it. Our oline is pretty good and he doesn't get hit much but when he does he looks pissed and struggles to get up. Perhaps all his injuries have caught up to him and mentally hes scared because physically hes broken

Edmonton is not. They are a duck n chuck O feasting on the same teams we have beat. Ottawa is the 2nd best team in the league

When you give up 44... I have a tough time putting the L on Nichols. He wasn't great but... It would help if our dbs could actually make plays.

Randles been exposed the last several games.

So is Randle

Rage rage rage... Bet it was Lapos decision tho. Hes the OC. MOS biggest problem is he puts 2 much faith in the coordinators.

23 35 291 2 Tds 1 int. Nichols best numbers of the year. Ottawa is pretty good. Bombers biggest problem is DBs... Randle hasnt been good this year.

Thats a lapo decision... Guaranteed

He likely is. Nichols just isnt the QB.

That's what happens when you go 2 and out 6 or 7 times a game.

Let the over reacting begin.

Or is it Lapo?

Not convinced that was Foggs guy. He might have made the tackle but looked like the Ottawa receiver beat Sayles?

Wouldn't this be more of a lapo decision tho? I mean he is the OC.

If Wilson doesn't go out of bounds on his own he recovers it tho so yeah.

Lankford is the new whipping boy. Doubt he does any returns.. Fogg has done well there. Im not even sure how many reps he gets as starter.. Might split with Petermann or Simonise. I guess he showed in practice that hes ready to go and is our next best option.. Gotta keep in mind the plan was Dressler Adams Bowman as International receivers... 2 of those aren't playing tomorrow.. Lankford is depth... Hes actually behind Thompkins on the depth chart when everyone is healthy and if Bowman was still here. In hockey terms hes our 8th D man... I'd like to see someone else in his place but... Our O coaches seem to like him for tomorrow. Since they are the pros and we are truly all Joes... Lankford is up. Bottom line certain players tend to get this label from time to time as bombers.. Basically 1 guy says 1 thing about him and the rest of the sheep agree. Guess Lankford gets his shot again tomorrow... How much of a shot remains to be seen. I'd imagine if he craps the bed... Hes out next game but i mean if we are looking to Lankford to come in and put up numbers and TDs to win... We are ******. This O revolves mainly around Harris Demski and Adams. These are our true playmakers out there. Nichols Fav targets. Really all Lankford has to do is dont **** up.

Thats some top notch rider trolling there. I haven't dealt with this Migs guy as long as others have but even i can see that this is yet another Migs trolling attempt.

Lol. And Trouba apparently wanted 7 a year? Ellis is better than Trouba

People like to talk about Bret being the bitter Hart.. But its truly Bruce.
