Its early but this game is massive for end of the season positioning. Richie Hall said he counted 43 mental error on defense vs Toronto,let's see if they've corrected those. GO BLUE!!!!!!!

I counted only 41 defensive miscues tonight, so at least there is improvement on that front

I'm not sure the Nichols QB draw was called that way. It just doesn't make sense. I think Nichols just went for it. He was able to run once upon a time, up until the second gruesome leg injury years ago.

W. Rose was a great pick up

We here are still scratching our heads as to why he was not re signed.

It means that they'll be able to add players down the stretch as they shake loose from the NFL. 

I'm sure they think one or 2 guys will be coming back.

Needed the loot for Reilly and Chung.

Well, Arbuckle seems legit.

Your GM is an idiot.  Probably one of the worst jobs of managing the cap & where the money was spent.

Everyone’s too busy roasting Nichols to remember that Jeff Hecht was who we thought he was tonight.

Ah. Ok. Thanks. 

You must have won tonight. 

He’s not wrong. But I’d have used more tact.

Hervey has always been that way. If you start listing off the things that he has done as a GM in Edmonton & BC the term idiot fits better & better. Nothing new there.

Hey, he sucks very badly. I agree. 

From undermining mic'd games to refusing to shake Esks players hands to overpaying for Reilly & Chungh. The list goes on & on.

I only managed to watch half of the game (thanks MTS)   what I saw was Jefferson in complete beast mode.   The guy is only on a 1 year contract... a must re-sign ASAP.

I think people are a bit to harsh on Bighill,   I'm not sure which player it was but on Calgarys first touchdown someone else completely whiffed on a tackle that gave them the extra 30 yards on that big play.   I'm not really worried about anyone on our D at this point.

Nichols started out fine,  made quick reads and hit Matthews ,  Lawler and Wolly for 10 + yard gains and they were tight spirals.   After that though.... ummm looked absolutely blah.   I agree with whoever said he was playing to keep his stats intact. 

A huge move for coaching to put Strev in at the end....  could this be the beginning of the end for Nichols? I guarantee Nichols will be having a pouting temper tantrum cuz of that.  Maybe it will light a fire under his ass?

Harris won't last the season with his current work load... they need to start spreading it out and getting first downs from other players.   Why the hell is Whitehead not more involved? He ran those Mike Kelly special jet sweeps so damn effective early on and they haven't gone back to him?

Happens alot that new GM's pass up previous regime guys. 

How are the lion's den faithful feeling about Rielly?

We're down to Mike Jones again as the lone healthy DB on PR

Any of these 3 will be a nice depth pickup...especially the first 2

DB Dexter McCoil
DB Shaq Richardson 
DB Kacy Rogers II

Twice, Nichols looked directly at Whitehead - who was wide open 10-12 yards deep - but threw the check down to Harris instead. It was like Nichols didn't actually see Whitehead, or by the time it registered it was too late.

Thank heaven and god almighty for Andrew Harris. But man, if he ever gets hurt is this offence gonna be in trouble.

We are 6-2! Could be 8-0. Second time this year a Bombers win leaves me feeling more than a tad uneasy.
