Likely the last home game of the year. 

 

Collaros' first start as a Bomber and probably his last.

Right now I'm okay with collaros ,  Streveler macguire fighting it out next season for the jobs .......we should trade Nichols now and get something's for him 

The only one of those guys with a contract for 2020 is McGuire.

Well he moved up the chart quick lol.

I don't want to take anything away from ZC and this win. Well deserved and it was nice watching him do everything it took for the win. 

But 221 yards and 10 rushing is the same amount of yards Strev and Nichols have been putting up. He did it all in the air though. I still really think Lapo doesnt have what it takes to be a great OC. Hes good at the trick plays and misdirection but cant seem to call a complete game. Am I the only one who thinks this lol.

 

Is Collaros  worth the first round pick to keep him around though?

I know people are ready to move on from Nichols but I'm not.  A new OC might make our offence dangerous with Nichols at the helm.

Just my .02

The trade deadline has passed. As Nichols is a free agent he won't get traded. Interesting off season coming up.

No.  For some reason the media really isn't on it, but anyone who knows anything about football can see a lot of schematic issues with this offense, and really the stink is following Lapo around this whole decade no matter which QB, which players he has.

Collaros has made some really nice throws tonight, but also thrown one INT plus another two that should have been picked. Weird night, running very hot/cold.

I know... it's like he hasn't played a game in over a year.

I like the way Collaros played but there’s no doubt that Streveler brings a valuable element to the offence that’s essential, even if it’s not in a starting role.

Well if nothing else this is a good confidence boost going into the playoffs, but don't kid yourself, they still have issues on both offence and defence, passive coaching isn't going to get it done when it really matters. 

No reason to think they can't get it done when it matters. This game mattered a lot more to Calgary.  But they can only beat Winnipeg when Winnipeg doesn't have a decent passer in.

Good god- when was the last time we saw this in Blue and Gold?

Thank you for bringing common sense to threads 99.9% of the time... 

Its just nice to beat Calgary, especially when they put the ass in class so often (see going up the stairs after a TD, BLM making gestures to our bench or every action Dave Dickenson has taken in his entire life).

Nichols is a free agent this off season and the trade deadline passed already, so even objectively that statement lacks intelligence. And after what we’ve seen on the field, if you think Streveler is still a better option than Nichols, then subjectively this statement is dumb too. 

Collaros without scrambled brains is worth it ....  I'd rather not have to depend on him staying healthy for a season. 

This is probably the best Oline Zach has played behind in his career lol.

Nichols and Strev and Mcg... Will be and should be.... Our QBs next year...

Nobody knows what type of option Nichols is ... he needs to come back from an injury on his throwing shoulder.  An that kinda might make big Chris a better option...  or any other number of QB's who are available might be a better option.

If we can get a better QB in the off-season, get it done.

There won't be one available.... But that's with the proviso that Nichols is as healthy as he was prior to this most recent injury. 

Theres really only been a couple team that have been capable of developing a quarterback instead of just buying one,I wish we were able to do this as well.

Was that the thing with his forearm? After the 1st half td?

 

And btw,  I love that Bo and the Stumps must now cheer for the Eskies

Great to see that game by Collaros, happy for him. For people complaining about his 221 passing yards being so low, the Bombers had the same yards per pass as the Stampeders, 8.1. The Stampeders just threw the ball 14 more times than the Bombers.

O'Shea sure wasted his challenge. He could have challenged that non-catch near the end of the first half or hung onto it for something that might have been real in the last three minutes (when he could still have used it).

The pressure the Bombers don't get on the QB is scary.

Happy you guys got the win tonight.

We used to get good pressure- don't know what happened...

 

Collaros is solid.  The problem has been keeping him healthy.

Super happy for Zach given all the crap he has gone through.  After all the cheap shots he has taken the refs manage to miss another when Zach is clearly sliding.  Time for the league to get serious about player safety for people not named Bo Levi.
