Nichols gets away with murder. We were cursed with terrible QBs for years so now that we have an average one, we treat him like the lord and saviour. Harris is also painfully average but he has 241 yards passing. When will Nichols be held accountable for these performances. He has zero games of over 300 yards this year. That’s embarrassing.

Bombers have a lot of talent at a lot of positions. On the whole, far better players than Ottawa. Penalties are killing them as is abysmal QBing. 

At the most important position, Trevor Harris is a young star, while Nichols truly is a game manager because he does not have the arm or accuracy.

Andrew Harris is better than Powell, but it is quite close.

At receiver, the Ottawa receivers are better at every position by a long shot.

On Defense, Bighill is better at LB, but after that, across the board Otttawa has better players at every position.

Noel Thorpe only picks great players and knows how to use them.

Trevor Harris is 32 years old lol. And he’s hardly a star. It is extremely clear you don’t know what you’re talking about across the board.

so at what point do we fire Richie Hall? We might as well not have a secondary...

Richie Hall is here for the balance of the year. If the Bombers make the playoffs they will be one and done. However after losing tonight and losing next in Calgary and then maybe splitting with the Riders the Bombers may be hard pressed to make the playoffs. Bomber D Backs are being eaten alive tonight and the Bomber offense is not helping.

Well you might not want to consider Harris a star but he is light years ahead of Nichols IMHO - across the board too!

Once again though forgetting the man responsible for this.  Richie Hall still sucks and is proving his critics right again.  He gets outschemed by good OC's like Elizando and can't stop teams when they got weapons like Sinopli and Spencer.  He's responsible for us being down.

Bomber O...2 and out....Hall’s fault...? Bomber O..2 and out Bad D......4 out of 6 .....2 and out on O.   Bomber lack of O is going to gas the D out again.

I mean sure but that’s a low bar. Harris at least has the arm to let his receivers make plays but he doesn’t create offence like Mitchell or Reilly.

I think Strevelers youthful energy ...and what he has shown us all ready with his play.......wouldn't look any worse right now.... might even ignite something......

Oh and in case I forget, Lankford still sucks. 

Team game, team responsibility. This game so far has shown that. No one here is to blame, defense, offense or special teams. Win the second half.

This is preposterous. Just because it’s a team game, doesn’t mean there aren’t individual responsibilities. There is lots of blame to go around. 

It’s also criminal that with a struggling secondary, Fenner is largely relegated to special teams duty.

How much longer can this be acceptable? As soon as they don’t get pressure, the D is toast. 

This is the exact identity of Hall's defense. Its predicated on putting pressure on the QB and not giving up the big play deep. When they dont get pressure on the QB.....Well, you're witnessing it. Teams that have good o-lines and decent QB's are going to march. Ottawa's game plan is identical to the one Hamilton used to gut us. Quick passes for 7-10 yards will eat this sort of defense alive.

He's like the Trent Dilfer of the CFL.

Well, thats a fumble. They get in the endzone here and its turn the lights out time.

And the joke continues Ottawa’s Ball

Matt almost looks like he is hoping Harris will do it all the way he looks for him so much so fast..
