Ugly pick from Burris to get things going,

 

Would really like to see Ottawa stay hot for this game.

Henry is just awful tonight., hopefully we get to see #2 before the end of the 3rd.

If you ask me...we're already seeing #2.

wish we had a guy like edmonton 90

Al Bradbury makes me sick. Amazing what his crew looks for as far as OC calls go, but they can't call a head shot on a QB?

This is Nichols big opportunity, if he can show well in the next 10 games he sets himself up nicely for free agency next year.

You know, watching this game makes me wonder...

 

...WHY DID I PICK OTTAWA TO WIN!?!?!?!!

Cory Watson TD!

Had to start him and Coehoorn (while sitting Marquay McDaniel) in Fantaseh this week in order to have enough NI starting, so thank **** he did something...

*blank stare of disbelief*

Me too.. Blame it on the alcohol.

It is the dawning of the age of Adarius...the age of Adarius....Ad...ar..ius...

 

Please shut the F up.

Esks look to be back in business. I can see them going far this season.

I dunno about that, Henry really stunk out the joint tonight, so it was no contest.  Game was over by the end of the first Q.

 

I'll be pissed if the Bombers lose to them without Reilly in week 5.

bombers should beat eskimos without reilly?

 

nichols played very well didn't he? the int to the lineman, someone said was partly a missed block. I thought their offence looked better with Nichols. He makes quicker decisions, thus doesn't get hammered like reilly. same o line, less pressure. 

 

 

edmonton thrashed the bombers last season. they don't miss their starting running back. their backup quarterback is very good. their defence is

 

very good.

I wouldn't say Nichols is very good. He's productive, but he's also prone to a ton of mistakes. Very clumsy with the football. Look at the pick 6, look at the fumble where he basically Jameis Winston'd the ball to the defender.

 

Nichols puts up good numbers, but there's a reason that is his first ever CFL win.

The players that looked the most dangerous was AD and the running backs . Nichols is meh...the others looked like they could do whatever they wanted whenever they wanted.

Eskimo d-line looks like it might be the best in the league this year and they will get far on that alone.  Nichols will probably lose some games for them... but they can win with him if the rest of the team plays well.  Their o-line is seriously questionable right now too.

I won't get excited one way or the other at the score of the Edmonton game. When one team, (Burris) plays as poorly as they did on Thurs., you cannot get a good read on either team. Kind of like the Bomber performance last Thursday.

Eskimos have an unbelievable defensive line. You're bang on.

I had them as my pre-season pick to win the West this year - someone had to not pick the Stamps.  Doubt they can do that without Reilly, but their defence is probably good enough to keep them in playoff contention.  If Nichols can minimize his mistakes and be a game manager QB, they might still get a sniff at a home playoff game.

The Eskimo defence looked very, very good last night but Burris looked like he was way past his "best before" date. Wouldn't be surprised to see him on the bench to start the next game. However, his receivers sure as spit didn't help him out much- several dropped balls which could have changed the game around.

I feel a little better now that Ottawa has the biggest blow out loss of the season... but the score doesn't look as bad starting with a 46 instead of a 52...

What a yawner.  Ottawa came out, moved the ball crisply, hit the upright on the FG try.  Got the ball back and Hank threw a stupid ball while going down for a pick 6 and the game was essentially all Edmonton after that.  It sure looks like pressure on the QB is the way to win under the new rules.  I'm not going to pick Ottawa to win next week.

Ottawa looked like a team that was pretty satisfied with themselves for winning their first 2 games and got spanked cause they didn't have the intensity or focus that Edmonton had. Looks good on them.

You do know that they don't have crews any more? Different group calling this game than the Bomber game.

Not disagreeing that he missed the head shot, the league has admitted as much, but can't blame it on the "crew" as they change each game.

I watched the game and saw Burris and his receivers both look horrendous.

Ottawa looked completely undisciplined with dumb ill timed penalties.

Nichols as Mike said was very clumsy with the ball. Lawrence and the receivers did quite well once they had the ball in there hands.

Edmonton definitely is beatable and Ottawa looked god awful.

Yup. They've made their quota of yearly wins, so every win from here on in is a new record.
