Sell Matt Nichols on eBay

I legitimately hate Matt Nichols.

And our rock solid D puts BLM over 400... for the first time in his career.

Nichols isn't the problem - its Hall and always has been...  can't call a 'great' game if you can't EVER handle the last two minutes.

Nichols isn't the problem ? .....lol are you watching the end of this game lol

E- f'n Lite

And your excuse now mos and nichols?

Holy effin eff

That is a season killer.

What. The. Fahk.

They should make a tape of Randle's attempt on the Jorden TD on "how not to tackle". Body checking belongs in hockey, try wrapping up with your arms. That was beyond awful.

hall should have been fired 2 years ago

What can the D do when we got 2 n oout half the game. Our QB has like 145 yards passing

And by home i mean the U.S.

I will call it now, Bombers have no chance of winning this one (guaranteed loss). After adjustments in the 2nd half I figure Calgary will be able to run up at least a 2 TD lead before the end of the game.

Outside of the trick play with Streveler, Bombers have no sustained offence whatsoever. Nichols is not half the QB that BLM is, and likely deserves all the booing he will be getting after Bombers blow the next 3 or 4 games. They are highly overrated on offence this year, and that is bad, because their defense can not sustain this team. The defense is doing what the defense does... They cannot stop a much better Calgary O and got lucky that BLM was not sharp with his throws in the first quarter. I can see the Bomber D letting Calagary march in for some kind of points on every drive from now until the end of the game.

The score flatters the Bombers, but I expect that will be changing soon.

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin bout!

The posting would expire

Matt Nichols is absolutely finished. I’m over it.

what can our O do when they only get 20 mins a game and have to score 35 to win

Reason I say get Langford out is he cannot break a tackle and can’t catch unless he is facing the ball

Good teams play four quarters.  Crap teams play three and a half.

LaFrance way better at KR than Lankford...

Calgary should go for another to make up for the couple of sure things they missed earlier.

It's better for the Bombers to get blown out in this one. It shows who they really are, and where Miller, Walters, and OShea are taking things.

BLM 450 yards, 3 TD's

Nichols 225 yards(50 in garbage time), 2 INT's

That is all.

Plenty of blame to go around. O can't sustain drives, D can't cover.

When's management going to demand more than mediocrity from this team?

Crap game calling by Lapo...

Nichols looks broken

Harris not even in the game plan

Hall can't defend when it counts

Randle missing a step

Osh startin to get the Tim Burke stare...

Can't even fkn score in garbage time

Osh just killed his season and probably his coaching - wtf
