The first Preseason game is May 31 .... the regular season starts June 14 ... everything will start to move very quickly now .... I am not used to the CFL in May  but you know what? I am very glad for it

Thank you Mr Ambroise but please be advised I still want a November Grey Cup ... mid November is Ok but no sooner

Stanley Cup and Grey Cup in the same year ... it would probably kill me !

According to John Hodge and his source, the injury is "bad".  So chances are Nichols starts against Edmonton.  😁

(I don't think much of Hodge and his insights)

Honestly, I really wish 3DownNation would pursue other options for Bomber coverage. Hodge is terrible and has only gotten worse.

His coverage of the Bombers is absolute garbage. He's not an insider and he has no sources. He's all about the sensational tweets and clickbait articles.

...to go along with all the lawyers...

And scouts!

Hodge is terrible, he thinks he's some kind of "insider"

a few of on this site are more of an insider than him to be honest

On the plus side.. Faith Ekakatie's cap hit is no longer a concern.

He's also incredibly trigger-happy on stuff which drives me nuts. Also likes to "as I first reported" or "as I said moons ago" way too much for a guy who is usually wrong.

Matt was regarded by many to be a "glass quarterback" but I don't ever remember him getting injured without contact. A couple years ago Durant popped his achillies while getting set to throw right at the start of the season.

My memory of the Achilles was on a play where he was trying to be a fullback.. Could be wrong though.

Well.. if Hodge is right and the injury to Nichols is bad the team will save a lot of cap space.

Well, if anything today's events have me ever more excited for football.

Let's go Valour!

oh, I thought that you meant that we had cut Faith for some reason.

If its serious enough hope he can still comeback at the second half of the season.

On the bright side a big chunk of cap space (will be) opened up.

Maybe big enough to buy Burritos. 🤪

If it's serious, there are options.

Trade for Masoli. (Ham)

Trade for Lulay (BC)

Trade for GLenn (Edm)

Bait Smilin Hank out of retirement (not a far fetched idea to be honest if he's still in shape. But TSN is probably paying him too much)

All are solid options. Question is what we have to give up.

Nope.  Out til July. And he's not going anywhere.  Future coach.

Hopefully we don’t add any QB we already know is bad. As is the case for literally every FA QB around right now. If it’s bad, may as well give Streveler the first shot. He is in an excellent position to still succeed.

Ted Wynn of the wpg sun wrote an article suggesting faith was on thin ice and Hodge retweeted and seemingly agrees with him.

I'd bet my left nut none of these happen. And You think a team would want a guy who hasn't played in almost 2 years??? 

I honestly don't see them trading for anyone even if Nichols is done for the year. Go with who they got and let the defense win some games...which I think was going to be happening anyway even with Matt.

Can we wait before freaking out?

tier 30 soccer, weeeeew

 

Good old Rider fans lol

 

People are so dumb about CFL trades.  It’s embarassing.  Can’t get their brains out of hockey, not that their concept of value for hockey trades is much better.
