I think player attitude has more to do with that than anything. Lawerence is out there yacking with them media and performing interviews, etc, etc. MOS seems to have our guys holed up and we aren't putting ourselves out there. #nodistractions

I don't see it as that at all. They went 15-3, give them their due. Jefferson took the MODP from Lawerence, and that wasn't a slam dunk. They were never going to give a cover guy (Miller) the award. Now it's up to the Bombers to take the only award that matters.

How did he know where his obliques were without the graphic that TSN showed viewers?!?!

I disagree with you that he is distancing himself.

This is where I'm at. Milt was so great, people want to heap even more on to him. But I think that any leadership Milt provided was by example. He has spoken many times before about not going out with the guys after practice and he clearly wasn't after guys to stay out of the clubs, etc. He was a professional, but worried about making sure he was doing his job, not worrying about other people doing their's.

What???

I wouldn't define that as a verbal contract, simply an expression of interest.

It's like letting the kids see the puppy before asking your wife if it's ok. Nice work, lol.

I was shocked to hear about a rift so don't know if I believe it or not. I will say this, if it were true, this is exactly how you would expect Walters to answer these questions. They always keep things close to the vest (in season, anyway - Walters is very open during off season discussions).

But in 2018, the defence was stellar against Calgary and Nichols looked awful. So the question is, after another injury, can he still be that guy?

Came here to post this, but I don't know how to imbed tweets so I'm glad you did it first

It really is up to him. He's just expressing an opinion. Let's not get our inferiority complexes riled up.

This isn't Penton predicting anything. It's simply him sharing things that are said to him from people around the league.

This would be absolutely wild if true. There has literally been nothing to suggest these three are anything but a close-knit team. Not that we ever hear any leaks out of the organization, so they could just respect each other enough to keep it in house.

IF we bring back Nichols - which I mostly expect to happen because this group loves the status quo - I feel like he needs to be paid similarly to his last contract. His play was similar, our passing yardage was way down, but he was efficient in the red zone. We saw the QB salaries rise last year, and we saw teams suffer because of it, so I think things are going to snap back to normal on that front.

I assume they're still planning on updating it in the off season. This was just about getting it up and running in time for Grey Cup.

Speculation from Marshall Fergeson this morning on 1290 that Ottawa is considering bringing in Dinwiddie and Arbuckle to keep the team together.

Yup. Love it, though.

Progress!

I've been asking myself this same thing....I don't think he does in the regular season finale. I think we'd have seen some version of the two QB system in the play offs, not sure what it would look like.

I had actually lost hope, so this is good news. in an ironic twist, I bet a new interface turns more people off, now that they've already gotten used to this site.

I was turning 2 in December of '88. My Daughter will be turning 2 in February.....

Generally, I agree with you. There was one game this year where we took a holding call that I thought was absolute BS, though. As long as they're ignoring it equally, I'm ok. I pretty much don't even look for it anymore because it's a waste of time.

Meh, you beat this drum every year and they keep ending up above us in the standings. I'll believe it when I see it.

And with Nichols in the line-up, we played Lucky. But after a bunch of ineffective weeks with Strev, he was benched. The poster was asking, now that we have a QB who is throwing deep, do we re-insert Lucky into the line-up. No mention or shot against Matty.
