I’m happy that we’re Nelson a shot over Lankford.

Petermann starting.

Let's f**king go!!!

Her we go Blue. It's our year let's ******* do this.

Just tuned in... thought the REDBLACKS game went long...

Coulda made that from 61 yards!

I know we would have kept the ball, but Harris has got to be smarter than to attempt that lateral as he's going down.  Mistakes will kill you in this kind of a game.

Nichols ******* sucks man. Guy can't make ANYTHING happen on his own.

Nichols has zero mobility and is missing routine throws. If he doesn’t start playing better the Stamps are going to pull away from us.

Our receivers need to give him something to throw to

You mean like a wide open Darvin Adams in the end zone or a wide open Harris in the flats?

Defense in full collapse mode.

They were the only thing keeping us in this game in the first 25 minutes of the game. Of course they're going to crack when there's no offensive drives.

Nichols has 26 passing yards for God's sake.

Man Bo Levi is making that Bombers defense look bad. Bo Levi is elite.

Nichols lack of passing doesn't make our defensive play better. 

Maybe mix up the coverage a bit?  Getting absolutely picked apart.

Nichols, obviously, needs to get it going too.

Lapolice had better start getting creative or the GC drought will continue

Calgary had ZERO points midway through the second quarter. Jesus.

And now they have 14 in a span of 6 mins? 

Wow. Punting with 1 yard to go. Ffs O'Shea

Do you honestly believe that this score is not reflective of Nichols horrible play? Is that SERIOUSLY what you're saying?

The Bombers honestly look terrible right now.

Are you shoving glue in your eyes? Our d is completely imploding. Nichols and the offense aren't cutting the mustard either. They aren't mutually exclusive
