I really think Wolitarsky is being criminally underused .. this guy just screams Jason Clermont to me .. that's a body that could be used in the slot.

I was at Salisbury House today. They ran out of onions for the hash browns. The waitress said it’s “Nichols and Hall’ fault.”

Gord Barnsley‏ @WinnipegGordo 2m2 minutes ago At #Bombers practice and Dressler isn't practicing. He seems to be running around pretty good however. Washington is currently on first teams.

Can't be. I understand, from my readings, that they never make changes. Ever. Never ever.

He did make an effort. He started running, realized he wasn't going to catch the guy and that was it. He had absolutely zero chance of catching him. Of all the stupid things he did that game, people are complaining about a play in which he had no chance of making a play (besides the throw).

Mike Sawatzky @sawa14 Darren Gill, the agent for Canadian OL Geoff Gray, says his client will wait to clear waivers later today and ponder his NFL options this weekend before making any decisions about CFL. Gray, released by the #Browns, was the #Bombers' eighth-overall pick in the 2017 draft.

Yes, six times, at least.

We’ve all asked...now let’s hope Washington can receive..

Lol. Hey, you can do math, are you sure you're from Saskatchewan?

I can't believe more people aren't recognizing this. For anyone with the game still on PVR (or if anyone knows where to find the game online, link me and I'll point it out) go to about 6min left in the 1st quarter. BLM passes over the middle to a wide open rec. So wide open that there was literally no one else on the screen but the rec for a huge gain into the red zone. On the next play Calg runs the ball, picks up a few yards. On second down BLM throws one into the ground to another wide open rec. Rod Black says something inane like the D steps up for Wpg but in reality they did nothing and it had nothing to do with being gassed. Had BLM been sharp in the first half the game would have been out of reach long before the 4th. But...I guess some people only see what they want to see.

Guarantee Milt got a talking to from Wade Miller about those comments.

And the way you see things: 'the fact the he wasn't sharp could not possibly have had anything to do with the Bombers' pressure.' unquote I don't see how people can say we the D wasn't generating pressure. Calgary's second half adjustment was adding more blockers at the line of scrimmage.

This is also true of our QB when he misses open receivers and guys drop balls. It’s a football game when anything can happen because of pressure or bumps, or a case of dropsies..or penalties. (Like the Ottawa game) C’mon. It’s a game. The would haves and could haves are not part of it. There would be way too many. Very few games are played cleanly. The results are an indication of many things. Execution being a major one. And it works, or not, for both teams.

Is he seriously good enough to replace Hardrick right out of the blocks? I kind of doubt it, I think it would take him a good year of playing experience to begin to match the skill level of a vet. import O.T. even if he has all of the physical tools to excel.

Question is, does Gray want to establish a storied football career he can be proud of or does he want to toil in obscurity chasing a rabbit he might never catch and retire anonymously like Bilikudi and Mulamba did?

Please don't "fix" anything I've written. You're welcome to your OWN opinion. I don't consider much of what players say, in-year, of much value. If he says he's 100%, I don't believe it. And, he's still one of the best QBs in the league (my opinion). One of a very few who can do what he does at the level he does (a fact).

Streveler was finding that out. His last start in Hamilton wasn't very good.

I dunno if hes ready for that role yet. hes still learning the CFL game and his role here. I think he will continue to develop and will become a very good receiver for us.. but just not quite yet.

The mob is just realigning their sights on their next punching bag.

For anyone to suggest Nichols just keeled over and gave up is absurd. Davis wasn't getting caught.

Barf. The guy has been this years Carmichael.

?? He's already starting.

Darrin Bauming‏ @DarrinBauming 14m14 minutes ago Darrin Bauming Retweeted Darrin Bauming Appears Darvin Adams is moving to the inside, and rookie Corey Washington is getting a shot at the X (outside wide receiver). That's a comfortable spot for CFL rookies, set on the line with limited waggle.

Irving reported as much on Twitter.

That pick....and the Bomber non-tackle circus on the Stamp clinching TD......were both tremendously bad plays in crunch time.

Hey! That averages out to more than 1 per game!!!

Riders have 11 offensive touchdowns in 9 games. That's stunningly bad. Of course, their D has 6.

I don't think it will ever beat.... MAT MANIA!!!!!

Sometimes though a QB is missing guys for a reason...due to the defense..pressure forcing him to throw early...coverage disguise where he thinks the defender is going to do..or be somewhere and he tries to through receiver open and both aren't on same page...many things To simply say a QB missed his throws and we were lucky for it...or it could have been worse if...is plain dumb...it goes both ways...you can say the same with a db missing a jump ball 50/50 chance...or a lineman getting held up just a bit to miss a sack....saying oh man..Joe Dude would have had 3 sacks in the first half and snuffed out 3 scoring drives if he didn't miss those easy sacks...or Willy Defender could have had a pick six there if he didn't lolly gag and play sub par for the first half BLM hasn't looked elite now for the better part of the last half of last season and this one..other than in minor spurts here and there

The defence has to make plays stop drives and get the ball back.....the offence has to make plays, sustain drives and score points....when neither of those things happen you don’t win.....this has become the Hackensack and the egg.....both O and D are responsible.

Yes. This is the kind of guy you break the bank for. Drop a imp DE, drop wild, lots of places to save money. Flip loffler to another team, slide mo to S, play fenner at sam start gray. Does he start right away? I mean with hardrick out and the OL struggling last week its a good time to slip him in. Idk if we do though. I could see our management easing him in over a few weeks.

That's not true, we beat Edmonton in preseason week 2 hah

The fact that he is basically hinting that Google should be censored is terrifying stuff. Free internet is very, very important.

Some of these guys don't want to give up on the dream of playing in the NFL, when in reality they really don't belong there, no shame playing in the CFL making a really good living and having a great career, not that my opinion matters to Gray or any other player in his situation but I know what I would do.

I understand the Klingons on Discovery will be changed again. Into the Klingons we are familiar with.

This just gets better and better. What authority does Wade Miller have over Milt Stegall?

because Lankford knows the playbook...puts in time during the practices and is a good teamate and has been in league for 3 years...I guess Flanders has none of those traits...oh wait a minute....he does...and in his time on the field has been a difference maker and a real threat opening things up for others....guess it must be something else

Good grief... it's all up like RF in here. Holy smokes Guys, take a step back from the edge. There are issues with this team and I totally understand people's frustrations, but let's not go full riderfans....

He played okay in his 4 wins, could be a lot factors, the injury is getting worse, he's missing Dressler, no run support, we shouldn't ass u me anything at this point. Bottom line, he hasn't been good enough in the losses.

That’s a great question. Better chance of accolades in the CFL (all star, awards) than if you’re a fringe NFL’er. But, maybe it’s a money question too. An agent may crunch the numbers and if you can make the 53 man roster in the NFL for say 4 years, at the minimum salary, you probably net more $ than an 8 year CFL starter. That said, I really think he should come back soon. Don’t think he’s NFL material, but would be great here

That’s what I was implying. I think Streveler would give us a better chance of winning than the current (possibly hurt?, certainly rattled) incarnation of Nichols.

Now I'm really depressed.

Don't forget that after the D finished last in just about every statistical category last season, that MOS said he would be taking a larger role in running the D this year. So don't be layin' it on Richie alone. Mike "we need more pressure Richie" O'Shea is involved in helping keep the D a finely-tuned machine.

Some of this reminds me of when we kept giving Grigsby carries and had two upgrades over him in Cotton and Volny. Mike O'Shea's long history of playing favorites.

why trade him?..Local guy..probable 8-10 year mainstay on your line...foolish

Best news I've heard all day!!!!! Welcome home, son.

Coming up and playing in the CFL would be a good career more, having the dream of getting onto a NFL roster would be better for his pocket book but it hasn't worked out that way so far and may never.

Geoff Gray has been cut today by Cleveland

And the funny thing about that is that 65 yards of that was Strevelers...makes you wonder how much game tape/review/grading he is...or they are actually doing to determine if changes need to be made...all around on the team...Because most times..and most teams...a guy is getting owned/abused/mismatched...he gets replaced....here...we trot em out with excuses and applause for the infrequent good things they did...bizzare...we need a staff and management that has a ruthless part to their good guy personality

I suspect he does another year on a PR.
