It's no illusion, you can blame Lapo but he's been around long enough to know what is and isn't going to work. You can't have a great passing attack if you don't have the horses to run it. Totally fair. Nichols had a rough preseason and didn't even show up for the first three games of the year. If he had, then maybe the offence would be clicking better. All Nichols fault.

Doublezero Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Ironically, the BBs whining about the boo-birds could precipitate even louder and more sustained negative vocality from the IGF grandstand if Bombers lay another egg at home.

This year's bunch doesn't compare. Brandon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's like missing all that time has caused the everything to be delayed. And, those three straight wins? Nothing. This team is terrible, just like you said.

The talent has clearly dropped off, I don't know what scale you are using to establish light years better, did you just make it up? The new starters are Demski, Wolitarsky and Thompkins. I don’t have time to go to the stats but Denmark’s receiving numbers last year were abysmal. If you don’t think Thompkins at this point in time is better than last year’s Denmark, I don’t know what to tell you. JFG was fine at best but while I’m not the biggest Demski fan, his production this year has already almost matched JFG’s from last year in a third of the season.

Denmark averaged 33 yds/gm and JFG and Wolitarsky are more or less a saw off. Where is this big drop off coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win, then clearly production in all positions was good enough to win and doesnt need to change. And when we lose, or especially if we get spanked its a 5 alarm fire.

Sorry, I meant international receivers, we were supposed to be starting Adams, Bowman & Dressler were we not? Now we are down to Adams, Thompkins & Lankford. Yes I would take just about any of the guys who left in the LAST TWO YEARS over what we have now for INTERNATIONAL RECEIVERS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKAChip Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Lankford is the only dud there. I don’t really know what the complaint is about the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Thompkins has 11 receptions for 180 yards which is a pace of just under 1100 yards for a full year. I'm fine with him. However if people aren't please share why? TBURGESS, SPuDS and Brandon 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedFlex27 Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 7 hours ago, pigseye said: I feel for Matt Nichols, he didn't deserve the boo's, Winnipeg really does have some of the most classless people I know, probably even worse than Philly. If you want to show disapproval for the club, stay home and boo from your couch, an empty stadium will get you more results. Having said that, Matt Nichols is the best QB we've had here in some time but, he can't do it on his own. The supporting cast around him is still too weak and that goes for coaches as well as players. Fans do stay away to the tune if 6-7,000 a game with all kinds of excuses for doing so.

SpeedFlex27 Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 I have no problem with Matt Nichols as our starting qb as he's the best we've had since Kevin Glenn in 2011. He needs help from everybody on the offense from LaPo to the offensive line. He also needs MOS to stop butting in & playing the qb carousel game at times. His actions started this whole thing plus his words of, "He gives us the best chance to win" when down by a bunch of points with 2 mins left. MOS was the problem. Not Nichols.

You have to start somewhere. We either complain about retreads or too many rookies. Can’t have it both ways. SPuDS and Mr Dee 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You neglected to mention the pathetic effort from the defensive part of the team. As much as Nichols was not as good as he ought to have been, if he was on the field longer, that may have altered the outcome, even if the Bombers still lost. And it is not for nothing that the coaches will be blamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dee Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 I’m anxiously awaiting who will get 1st string activity at receiver in tomorrow’s practice. Corey, can you hear me? Better yet..Mike, can you hear us? Don’t read this if you’re not Ed Tait -(This is a private message for Ed Tait - Ed, get in O’Shea’s ear about Lankford will ya. He should be the last option for a starter’s position.Thats all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
