Biggest games of the year... couldn't be bigger for both teams right now... or bigger for this regime  

Bombers need both of these games imo - tall order

- I want to see Nichols and Streveler rotating as a 1A/1B...  that was working in the first half and then Lapo abandoned it

- Bring back the two back sets!!!  If Jones gets on a roll, Nichols confidence will absolutely be crushed...  need a big first Q from the O

- Let Bighill play MLB already... Hall's blitz D is just too predictable - luckily Sask's O sucks

- Is Ernest Jackson a trade option for the bombers? Als likely need to free up cap space ... not sure who else would be an option - receiving core is not scaring anyone

- Any other ideas?

I can see NIchols getting a hangnail if the game isn't going good for him.  Being injured will be a good way for him to not have to answer for another bad outing to the fans back home

what do you see in sad sack Collaros who has done noting for 3 years now really?

I haven't been hyping up Collaros at all.  I just see how bad your defense is. Nothing scary about that group at all.  Our defense matches up good against your offense pretty well also.  Stationary qbs like Nichols are a tackling dummy for our blitz.  Nichols will get hurt this week

no..just wondering what u see

Collaros is playing better every week.  Not turning the ball over, had INT last week when Christian Jones was in at receiver running the wrong route.  Don't know wtf he was out there to begin with.  I don't see him as a super star and have been disappointed with the lack of scoring by our offense. But your d is bad and that's just what the doctor ordered to get things moving.  Also the Bombers can't win unless they score at least 30 points and that is not going to happen. You will score 20, question is, can Collaros score more than 20 against a defense giving up a average of 381.3 yards per game?  I don't know. I give us the edge at home to do just that.

are you talking about his feelings?

I don't have any feelings.  But if I did, they would be definitely hurt if we blew this game at home.  This is a big one for both teams.  We need this one to get into third place. You need this one to stop the bleeding. I like to joke around and talk football. Make no mistake, I am nervous about the game. Winnipeg has a good team, so do we. Its going to be a good game

I'm pretty sure Nichol's receivers aren't happy with his comments he made about them. Wonder how the rest of the team feels about him throwing them under the bus.

You’re bringing up a dead issue. As they say - “drop it.”

Why is it dead? It's an issue leading up to this game?

If Matt comes out and his first throw is into the turf or overthrown it won't be a dead issue.

If the Bombers win we’re even. 

Anyone thinking the Riders have historically taken this game more seriously than the Bombers really has no idea. Historically, members of both teams have taken this game lightly. All you need to do is go to Regina and go out the night before the game.

Still remember Corey Holmes ripping off that huge kick return to open the game 12 hours after I watched him barely able to walk out of the bar on his own.

Still remember doing shots with Doug Brown at the official Bomber LDC Weekend party.

It's not an exclusive thing to either team.

He was talking about the Calgary defense. Things don’t become an issues just because the TSN panel says so.

Even Milt Steagal says Nichols called them out.

All I'm saying is I wonder if that will affect any chemistry between Nichols and his receivers...

How do you know? Adams came out and Saturday and stated he needs to be better. What else has been said since then? Nichols shouldn't have said what he did but don't jump to conclusions.

You can speculate all you want but don't claim to be pretty sure of anything, especially when you're not privy to it.

Exactly - this has become what the panel said about it.

Ok, fair enough. I'll reword it so not to jump to any conclusions. If I were one of the receivers and my Qb said that, I would probably take offense. It's one thing to talk about these issues in the locker room, but to say it on tsn in a interview is a little harsh.

Should be a deafening series... loudest 2 games in the CFL every year. I can't imagine MOS not starting Nichols for both these games, and it's weird that Flanders is still on your practice roster...  Not going to make any predictions cause this could easily be a sweep by either team and a split is also just as likely. Should be an entertaining couple of weeks. Safe travels this weekend ya hillbillies!☺️

Ah! Is this a trick of scouting the enemies position while pretending to represent the red cross just finger exercises?

Saying that none of his receivers could get open.

We've all read exactly what he said. It's not about that. It's about how people interpret what he said. It's about saying anything at all that could be misconstrued and it's about making that same mistake two weeks in a row. Better just to say mea culpa then go out and play football.
