Wow unfortunately our Back up QB situation is a joke..?

If a couple of years on the practice roster isn't enough to allow an aspiring quarterback to step onto the field and look competitive, how many does it take? Three? Five? No one expected him to look like another Nichols but he ought to look better than he did, otherwise why is he here? Just because we can't find anyone better?

Davis looked ok at times, frazzled at others.  he was running an offense that wasn't tailored to his needs.  He was pensive, probably worried about losing the game... would you have preferred him to play like Lefevor did?  He didn't look all that bad.  he hit 3 receivers that I can recall with really nice passes.. 

 

me thinks your expectations are clearly way out of touch with reality.

I have faith that if they know Davis is starting this week (he should be...) then they'll tailor a game plan to play to his strengths this week, and he'll look more like he did in the pre-season games. This Friday night should basically be a glorified pre-season game anyhow, so let's see it. If the guy pulls out a win, call it a bonus.

If you cannot accept at least the last game as an embarrassing rout, I do not know how to respond to that.

you do know what a rout it right? like an absolute ass kicking from opening kickoff to final whistle.  We were in the game until the middle of the 4th.   if our offense could have done something.. ANYTHING.. this game was for the taking. 

 

So no, if YOU think that was a rout, I don't know how to make you understand the concept of a rout.

I'd take a hard pass on Durant. He has looked like hot garbage all year. I think his best before date was 2015 tbh.  

I'd take Glenn back over Durant,  but I'd prefer neither. I'd like to think our #2 as the future not an aging players on the brink of retirement cuz once they are gone we're back to the drawing board. Depending the QB scenery shake up this offseason but maybe we can get Jennings if BC decides to make a play for Collaros

Would be nice but I don't see BC giving him up.

Let's see ... More than double the yardage, almost double the TOP, etc. Yeah, that's a shitkicking.

and what, pray tell, do you take umbrage with about their record?  the high win totals or the lesser loss ones??

Neither. It's their record the last 4 games. 1 win.

how care a guy who has played barely any reps for us.. look scared and nervous in front of a rowdy crowd thats already pissed off at how our offense is doing..

you expected him to step in and be the second coming of Moon or maybe Printers?  Dom's a back up for a reason.. he needs time to get comfortable before hes going to look poised and polished... If he can look poised and polished... some guys just cant function with the bright lights on.

So we make him our backup QB?

 and yet.. we were in it until that back breaking TD by Rainey.

 

Sorry, don't agree.. If there is a chance to make a comeback still near the end of the game.. it ain't a rout.  a rout is you getting destroyed.. and not ever getting a chance to get back into the game... BC led us by.. what.. 2 to 5 points almost the whole game???

 

ya, wow.. did we ever get routed there..

 

and yes, I do realize we mounted zero opposition to the lions.. doesn't mean it was a rout..  means we couldn't get our collective **** together.

gotta find it out some way or another, no?  didn't realize people were mind readers.  If you were so capable in knowing these facts, why haven't you shared with the rest of the class?

Killed em on special teams though, which is 1/3 of the game.

routs?  jesus.  stop embellishing lol. we've lost by what, a field goal one game and 10 points the  other?   all of the above mentioned doesn't reference the record.. at all.. tho so again, how do you believe their record negatively reflects upon the management, because we didn't go undefeated?

 

Yeah, that's a shitkicking.

Of course you don't. You're an apologist. I get that. That's how you express yourself as a fan when the team plays like crap. Because you love them, like we all do. You're like Mom, always apologizing for the kids. Now Dad, he's different. He tells it like it is!

How the hell would I know? That's the coach's job! You know, the guy that sees him every day and determines who will fill that role. Hopefully the coach is going to pick a guy that doesn't crap his pants under the "bright lights".

In what way? Turnovers were 3-2 in our favour. Both kickers were 100% in FGs. Kicking averages were nearly identical. Special teams tackles were identical at 10.

Our only touchdown was a blocked punt, kick coverage was stellar all night, and Fogg had some nice returns.

If we don't have Nichols playing this weekend then we are dead. Plain & simple. We all know that as there's no way the Stamps want to be on a 3 game losing streak at home going into the WDF.  As far as something to prove, I think the Stamps will play hard. We are in tough. 

This team has done some great things & I think better days are ahead next year. But we need to still fill some holes & replace Hall to have a chance to win the GC next season. I'm conceding a Mea Culpa on this season with the way things are going. That's not being negative but being a realist. But I'm certainly not negative on the Bombers future.

Losing by 9 points isn't a rout. Especially without a starting QB. SPuDS pointing that out doesn't him an apologist.

The Stampeders lost by 9 points... Was that a "rout" by the Eskimos? Nope.

They mopped the floor with us and kicked our asses all over the field. The only thing that was close in that game was the score. Anyone that watched that game with any objectivity knows that's true.

I've seen lots of routs both in our favour and against us. We played bad on offense and gave up a lot of yards on defense...but this game was no rout. Just my 2 cents

Definition of rout

1:a state of wild confusion or disorderly retreat

J5V, why are you going off the way you are about being routed? If Nichols had played we'd have won. I'm damn sure of that.

and 2/3s of our team is Lbers who play teams. I jk i jk. 

Screw it- give JSV his rout (which is the furthest thing that was Sat)- dude just flat out sucks with... words ?

The thing I want to know, is what is a Ti-Shats v Stumps 60-1 contest called in the JSV lexicon?

J5V trying to lecture others on objectivity. Now that is ******* comical.

Some thing never change.

I am very disappointed in Denmark over the past several games. At a time this team needs him the most he seems to be pulling one of the disappearing acts that got him cut a couple years ago.
