I heard Deiter Brock on the radio recently (out here in SK) and he said he wasn't doing anything...SO...if he can still throw a football even 40 yards from his knees...heh, that's good enough for me!!

Khari deserves coach of the year at this rate... we all thought he was walking into the end of his career
instead he’s finally found Vernon Adams potential
Yes. Without a legit #1 QB Montreal wasn't going anywhere. Vernon Adams has been the most hyped ( for potential) in the CFL (except for Manziel) the last 3 years. It looks like he is starting to find his groove. Good for Montreal and for Khari. Also shows that QB's in this league need time to develop!!!

why go I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach that Montreal just might be the team to beat?
Calgary IS STILL the team to beat. Until I see Dickenson shaking hands with the winning coach in the playoffs or (unlikely) Calgary misses the playoffs, I still say Calgary is on top of the mountain. They will be a better team when BLM comes back.

I'm thinking we get a couple of big returns out of our return guys...not saying TD's, but a couple of big yardage returns.

we barely beat BC the first time around... it was a close game and real tight still midway thru the 3rd quarter...
Yes it was close at the half.
We've got the better team. We:re playing at home. They're playing on a shorter week....still...I hope we don't flub this one and take them lightly. Reilly is getting more time to throw. And we haven't exactly been lighting it up the last 3 games.
I'd like to see Nichols open up the passing attack and the offense score early and often.

Someday we won't have Harris as a security blanket
Someday we won't have Nichols either.
In fact, I'm betting that in the last 50 years or so the average # of years for a starting QB is probably pretty low. Brock was here the most - about 8 years. Clements about 4, Dunigan maybe 3, Khari and Glenn about the same. So unless we win the Grey Cup this year, my educated guess is that next year we move with someone else.

Seeing how ineffective our blitz has been the last several games.... I'm not sure if we should be heavy on the blitz.
Agreed. Seems like our blitz ranks near the bottom of the league in terms of effectiveness.
-
Okay, back on topic.
B.C. looks to be getting back on track with their offense...but their defense still sucks. I'm a lot more concerned about this game than I would have if it was played a few weeks ago. The dink n dunk system of Nichols may need to be upgraded (we need to score more).

He apparently has information on the Clintons and has been hiding in a safe house since May.
Then next thing we'll hear is that he committed suicide...
-
That was the worst missed call of the year. I'm expecting the league will come out on Monday and say,"Uh, sorry, we missed that call." And of course we will hear nothing about or if the refs were disciplined.
-
Don't look now, but Mike Reilly and the B.C. Lions might be back in the running. It looks like they will not be the free stop on the Bingo card anymore.
The Bombers better bring their A game next Thursday and play 4 quarters.

If I were to put a blame % between the two... it would be 80% Nichols and 20% LaPo.
You could be very close to the truth.

There is no way to predict which Bomber team will show up on Thursday, but we can be assured that the Stamps will play well. Its a bit early to say that this is a must-win game but its pretty darned close to that.
In some sense it might be a "must-win" game for Nichols. If he poops the bed and the boo birds come out...it could take him 5-6 games to rebound...and by that time our chance at 1st place may be gonzo

So we've really looked at his physical gifts but is one of Nichols issues that he's not as mentally strong as other QBs. BLM or MR seem extremely confident and inclined to have a **** you attitude if people boo or are critical, while Matt seems to get really defensive and take it personally?
Nah. I think Nichols biggest problem is his vision. He doesn't "see the field" as some of the great QBs like BLM, Calvillo, and Clements did. It's weird to say it but having Andrew Harris has been both a blessing and a curse for Nichols. A blessing because he's such a great check-down guy, but a curse in the sense that Nichols has never really learned to find his receivers as much as he should - he relies on Harris to be there for him.

I fear a first round knock out as well. Even a Western final knockout I think signals time for some changes. QB for sure. Both coordinators. Head coach ... maybe.
We must finish 1st in the west to have any realistic shot of getting to the Grey Cup. After 5 games i liked our chances. Now...well...this team will have to play better just to make the playoffs...

We're going to lose Streveler next year if we don't start to groom him to start, now. How can they not see that?
I'm not sure Streveler is the answer, but what we have between him and our #3 might be. Honestly, Strev can hand the ball off just as well and can extend the play too. I'll take my chances on his passing.
-
I'm ready to move on without Nichols. If not now, then after the season. Let's see what Streveler and our 3rd stringer can do. We know they can hand the ball off to Harris, so if they can pass for 200 - 300 yards a game, it's good enough.

If LaPo left after the season I'd applaud.
I got news for you...he doesn't play QB

Nichols Injury

If Nichols year is over (I'm betting that even if he comes back he won't be the same), we need to beg either Glenn or Ray to come back. Those 2 are the only legit VET options.
