We scored three TDs. Two through the air and one by Flanders to close out the game.
It's hardly the days of getting one TD every other game. Remember Buck Pierce's best season of his Bomber career in 2011? He scored 14 TDs. Matt's already at 13. 

I think LaPo holds him back with the dinking & dunking throws underneath that just do not extend drives. 

I dont think he is close to the likes of moon, ac, flutie or ray. As far as greats go he could slot in with mcmanus, damon allen, etc imo.

He is one of the all-time greats, IMO

Sweep?  Didn't  we already beat them once this year, making a sweep  impossible?  What am I missing? 

Some Rider fans may beg to differ, Lol
This is a quote over there on whether the Riders can beat the Bombers; "If Winnipeg is the team that played tonight, then, absolutely we'll beat them. They don't look nearly as good as their record and the Riders aren't as bad as theirs."

It doesn't matter if $15,000 would be a great paycheque for a person in poverty.  When someone offers you a drastically higher payday than what you're getting, do you sit there and say "Oh well I'm already doing better than a poor person, why do I need even more?"  Nobody thinks like that and it would be absurd to expect someone to.

I used the disagree emoji.
Because I disagree.

That's what I'm sayin'

True.
Mike Reilly got his shot late in life (He was 28 first season in Edmonton) and is really coming into his own. No reason why Matt, who is in his first season as a starter, can't continue to grow his game the way Reilly has.

Don't care, don't see any need to come up with the perfect category for everything that happens everywhere.
Internet and 24 hour sports channels have turned have made hyperbole commonplace and routine to the point where no one even thinks to call it out anymore.
Game 1 of the CFL season, Rod Black already anointed something as the catch of the year.  Game freaking 1.
Every QB in this league has some strengths and weaknesses.  Different coaches, different systems, different receivers, different Olines.  Swap them out to different teams and you will get different results.
Nichols is playing well and we don't need to actively be seeking a replacement.  Can't say that every year.  So among Bomber QBs this decade, he's definitely elite.

Elite?  Hell no.   But can certainly settle for a .......consistent winner.

I can't believe they can't find ownership or the will to build a stadium &  put a team in Halifax.  IThe Laval owner (yes they have an owner) would never allow a CFL team to use their stadium... They'd have to build a new one for any team in QC. I don't think there's the political will in the Province of Quebec to do that. They already built a hockey arena in QC to get the NHL back with no luck so far & there's a huge push to finance a new baseball stadium in Montreal to get MLB back. The CFL is low in priority. 

A bit long-winded, but I agree.

He paid more than they could sustain, had a kick *** receiving core, won a grey cup. We all knew the contracts would catch up with them.
On the other side of the field, people can say Edmonton is winning through smoke and mirrors all they like, but the Eskies keep winning.

Whoa whoa Whoa. I also like the Buck comparison for the "grit" factor, but Nichols ain't in the same league as Buck as far as his rushing abilities. Buck was an actual runner. Matt just picks his spots.

Big bad Bo has ZERO rushing yards.  That part of his game is completely absent.  When Nichols needs yards at a critical time he puts his shoulder down and gets them.  Yeah it's ugly but his teammates love him for it.

I guess that it is up to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to hand Edmonton their first loss of the season.

Masoli was 3 and 3 as a starter in 6 games last year with that same team Collaros was 0 for 5 with.
