  1. I don't know if you can totally blame Wideman. Ya it was a dumb thing but if he was concussed and had no idea for real.... can you? It's hard to prove either way tho
  2. It's obvious that Willy has some sort of mental issues this year. Something in his head. If he can actually shake that and just go out there and play. ...he will still be a good QB. The big question is. ... can he overcome the obvious mental issues. I don't know if he can. Nichols is what he is. Willy was a better QB than Nichols and might still be if he can overcome the mental side of things. Beats me if he can tho. Let's not pretend that Nichols is some saviour tho. Cuz he's not. It's not defending Willy.... it's just not over rating Nichols in to being something he's proven he's not. It's almost like people didn't watch games last year when Nichols played. He's a decent QB but he's not gonna win you games on his own. He's gonna have 1 or 2 good games and then 2 or 3 bad ones and you know what for as well as Nichols played last week...the Esks dB actually intercepts the duck to adams in to double maybe triple coverage and people wouldn't be talking about how great Nichols is. I don't get the defending Willy thing. It's not. It's being realistic about what matt Nichols is. I hope I'm wrong but... people don't think Willy is the man but bet on it... if Willy isn't.... Nichols isn't either cuz in reality they are pretty Damn similar
  3. I'll just leave it here. Drew Willy may not be the future of this team but I'm 100 percent positive that Matt Nichols isn't either.
  4. Couldn't you make the argument that the D is responsible for every win tho? I mean without the D... the other team would score more points. The idea is the team that scores most wins... who cares if it's 10 fgs or 4 pick 6 or 4 rushing TDS. Points are points . I'm just saying that if you are going to use something to bash Willy and Praise Nichols... be fair. Nichols was 5 and 2 as Esks starter b4 being traded to Winnipeg. You know how many games the D was responsible for winning? All of them. What was his record here? More losses than wins. What are people gonna say when cuz it is when Nichols struggles and we lose? It's almost like people think Nichols is some fresh faced saviour when in reality he's a proven commodity. He will win some... he will lose some and probably more.
  5. Odd argument considering medlock would be considered special teams and actually put up 18 of our 30 points vs Edmonton
  6. Why would Montreal trade him tho. He was drafted in 2015.
  7. I think he was let go early due to injury but stuck around town and was brought back.
  8. That last throw shouldn't have been made. 3 stamps in the area
  9. Is he the same Kris adams we had a couple years ago? Or is that a different one
  10. From the toilet bowl to the game of the year. Great comeback by Calgary. Holy. Jennings was very good but a couple critical mistakes at bad times cost them the W
  11. Jesus. The son did it. That's some messed up crazy ass stuff. RIP
  12. Think it being Wednesday plays a role. That's a tough Night for sure. How they get screwed with a Wednesday game?
  13. TEP is the official site isn't it? on the bluebombers website? Yeah, that's a very active forum and most forum members are the same, a few don't post there and don't post here but generally it's the same for sure.
  14. Sheppard? Or Mayo? Pretty much agree with the other 4... just not sure about Sheppard or Mayo... Mayo seems to be a burner, we need that.
  15. I think having a run game allowed nichols to make those throws tho, It's not just 1 thing or 1 guy, it's a combination of them.. Harris had over 100 yards rushing in the first half... That's insane and Dressler had over 100 yards receiving in the first half... I think that goes hand in hand really.... The biggest difference in the game last night in my opinion was not the QB, it was the run game.. I'm not taking anything away from Nichols either, he showed up and played pretty good, wasn't great but was good enough... similar yardage to what Willy put up really but.... at the same time, Have we not seen this before with Nichols? Last year even? He's Mr Inconsistent for sure... Willy hasn't been good but all things being equal, I think Willy is a better QB than Nichols, but... he just hasn't done crap this year.
  16. So anyone with a guess as to what our receivers will look like next week? Short week, wednesday game.
  17. Bowman was basically a non factor last night... whoever was covering Bowman did a hell of a job. Not old enough to remember the happy honker but i've always been under the impression that it went to a guy who kind of flew under the radar... a guy like Loffler, who was expecting that? a guy like Frederick? again who was expecting that? Kohlert even, solid and reliable receiver who stepped up nicely when give a chance. Always was under the impression the HH went to an underdog of sorts, a guy that perhaps nobody saw it coming from.. Loffler, Frederick and Kohlert in my opinion and if i had to pick 1... I think it's Loffler.
  18. Sounds like Denmark is on route to Winnipeg, fun fact... Denmark has a son who was born in Winnipeg. So basically, it's a natural fit, honestly, not sure why the got rid of him in the first place, guess was making to much cash but surely they could have kept him around.
  19. The Team as a whole seemed a lot more animated last night, lots of OLINE running up the field doing the first down gesture, lots of smack talk it seemed, lots of fight really... a ton more emotion shown on the field actually, DB's celebrating big time after making a huge play, The O guys basically talking crap to the Edmonton D the whole game.. was nice to see.
  20. Meh. It's a fan forum, it's expected that people will have a difference of opinion. I mean,isn't that what all this really is when you get right down to it? Opinions, I don't think anyone is really an expert and is always right and i don't think anyone is a total idiot who is always wrong, I think there are some people here who might maybe understand the Let's call them X's and O's a bit more than others do and understand that while perhaps the easy thing to do is blame 1 guy or 2 guys, know that Football or any sport for that matter really doesn't work like that... It's a team sport, 3 phases, I've seen games where 2 of the 3 phases play like crap but the 1 plays great and you win, I've seen games where 2 of the 3 play great but you lose, I've seen games where all 3 have been good and you lose. It's never just one thing. I guess, the best thing to remember is this is a fan forum and with that, comes differing opinions, I really don't see this "click" thing, or i don't see certain posters coming in thinking they know it all, maybe 1 or 2, but..I don't think it's the ones that perhaps get called out on it. I don't think it's the Mikes or Mr Perfects or those guys really, i think they just came on, give their opinion and then debate with the person who doesn't disagree, i do find tho that the person who seems to disagree with them the most is the same guy but that's just... whatever. It doesn't matter.
  21. Problem with Adams and i like him, but the problem with him is his consistency and compete level just isn't always there, it was last night but... he does tend to take a few to many plays off. Not taking anything away from him, him and dressler are big losses, dressler more so but.... Adams has potential to be very good and some games, he just doesn't show up...
  22. Believe that was Hardrick but... Pat Neufeld on twitter was asked about that one and said something quite interesting, said that it was slide protection and the receiver who was supposed to "slide" to that spot went to the wrong spot.
  23. What's so hard to understand about it? Randle and one of Adams or Frederick on the Corners Fogg and one of Adams or Frederick as the Half Backs. Loffler as the safety
