There’s a bad cop now and then. But most are great people, hard working, in a very stressful job. They make good neighbours. I’d rather support the fuzz than degrade them.

My family is full of protective services. 2 RCMP, 1 City, 1 paramedic, 1 city Firefighrer and 1 retired federal firefighter. All are above and beyond fantastic and hard working and have risen to very high levels. Not all are like that, but the vast majority are. I hate people who **** on cops amd first responders. It's among the most brutal jobs a person can do.

Too bad your cop friend doesn't know his "friend" is running off to tell strangers on the internet his words imparted in confidence, so his "friend" can collect all the internet points. I get the point of a forum and sharing info and all, but what those guys see and have to do is some hard stuff that messes people up. It'd be nice if the outlet they chose to share, had some class and decorum and didn't do what you did.

You can expect usually one dud a year..I guess this was ours. Bad game plan from the get go..regardless of behind early..it was 6 minutes into the game so that's not an excuse and to suggest we tossed our game plan. Lapo usually has a head scratcher or 2 a season like that.. I blame the ineptitude on him..and the fact Nichols was off last night..hence more reason to run the ball. Also..a healthy dose of Matthew's would have been key this game and made a huge difference.. especially when it seemed we couldn't get any receivers freed up..his stature alone out there and his presence/experience would have been huge...for all Lucky's good things for now he should be a 70 per cent of reps guy..rotated in for all the imports so teams cant just key on him when he is in always in same set or scheme. He's being swarmed now and without Matthew's presence out there as a mid range and vertical threat it's making things congested and tough If next game Matthew's isnt in for Walker then our coaches need a smack upside the head.

I work with the police and cops love talking about that stuff. Especially when they’ve been drinking. They shouldn’t but they do.

not one good game this week.

Reilly, Burnham - and a dumpster fire. And I've considered Reilly overrated for years. Chungh is not a bad player - just overpaid and playing beside an atrocious tackle - how the cuss did some of those OL even make it out of TC?

And some QB's consistently play bad against great defences and don't rise to the challenge, and don't perform in the clutch. Fact. Deal with it.

Your cop friend should not say anything

I've been a law enforcement officer for close to 15 years and I've seen all kinds of officers come and go. Yeah there is some idiots who have never had an ounce of power in their lives who come in and think they are above the law and untouchable. Those idiots usually get put in their place fairly quickly by the good guys or sometimes the "job" puts them in their place and they correct their ways pretty quickly. The point of working with the same criminals over and over again can't be stressed enough. I have known some of the same criminals for my entire career and I can't see anything changing with that. Saying that, once the boys have had a few drinks I have seen it enough when the stories come out and I can believe that this guys friend told him about this incident.

Arbuckle is a free agent? Does that mean the Riders are going to sign Arbuckle and Streveler and use them in tandem?

You just never stop. Even a 3 day hospital stay & convalescing at home with the pain of a knee replacement is far, far better than having to read your continuos one take posts on Nichols. You don't seem to know how to talk about anything else. Glad I had a one week break.

As he counts his money seeing his bank account rise after every game.

Not what he meant - stop being obtuse.

Precisely

yes

Just pulled in from Fargo: There are turnovers, where the D makes a good play, and simply dumb turnovers, when you just cough it up. Bombers way too many, of the latter. For the first time, Bombers were real slow out of the gate, on both sides of the ball, this almost seemed to throw them off kilter, rest of nite..... ...throwing the ball, almost 50 times, against a team that struggles against the run. Add bad overthrows, by Nichols, receivers struggling to get open, then dropping like flies Against a good team, coming off bye at home....needed the A game.....didn't come close. Well deserved loss....

It was a joke....I've been trolling this from the get go.

Saw Foucault in that fight. Amazed he actually was fighting because he was being pushed all over the field all game long. He has to be the worst starting right tackle in the CFL. He gets his ass whipped every game. Gotta wonder WTH Hervey has built mismanaging the cap for the Lions. Over a million on Reilly & Chungh & no room to add players. Durant, another big off season signing has disappeared the way he did with the Stamps. Spent majorly on O free agency with no room to rebuild the D. Clueless Claybrooks in way over his head with his qb telling him when he'll play. And when he won't. This mess is on Hervey & he should be fired.

Whatever happened I really hope it had nothing to do with how shitty the Bombers played last night. Also hope Andrew Harris wasnt involved given his former gang life...

Riders have become the greatest team of all time, will win out the rest of the season, Bombers will falter and become the cross-over team, Riders-Bombers Grey Cup, Riders win by 100 points and are automatically awarded two Grey Cups??

Your cop friend is either the most unprofessional cop around, is a liar, playing you for a fool, or doesn't exist at all.

Not sure why bc doesnt dress some import receivers who are quick. No need to dress more than 7 canadians as it isnt helping them..give Reilly some playmakers or guys who can get open..all they have is Burnham

I kind of picture Nichols with a crocodile Dundee knife - in case someone says ‘game manager’

It was probably Lawler so he could play another game.

That’s why Nichols was off this week... he stabbed Matthews!!! Makes so much sense now

Hey thanks a bunch. Had some health issues, but things seem to be back on track now. Looking forward seeing a grey cup parade here this fall.

That’s actually his point ha

That is a very funny movie. another good one.... "Paul" with same two, it might be funnier than hot fuzz. also "run fat boy run"

My doctor told me that once he told an older lady that she had "acute angina" after her physical and she blushed and then thanked him for the compliment.

Daughter in-law caught a 29" pickerel up north yesterday..... we are going up there tomorrow to eat the other fish she also caught..

I teach Law at The Highschool level, so I have had many RCMP members come in as guest speakers over the years, both working and retired. What you say is true, but their primary frustration is dealing with the same criminals over and over again.

I can't see the Lions cutting Reilly. I'm sure he got a big portion of his salary as bonus money up front so there's little SMS gain for BC. I can't see any other team trading for Reilly. They'd get good value this year, but they'd have to renegotiate in the off season or pay the huge salary.

He's a triangle?

No CFL contract is guaranteed so if the Lions want salary cap relief & to start from scratch next season that might be what I'd do. A total rebuild. They're stuck this season but I can see a lot of overpriced veterans getting their walking papers in the off season.

It isn't typical of nichols to over throw deep balls. He has tended to miss Short and forced wrs to come back to the ball. Throwing the ball high / behind on medium passes is a typical sign of when he is struggling. When struggling he often winds up before his throw slowing down his release. Nichols saw lots of pressure and other then check downs the pass game struggled. We should have had better game planning before the game for that pressure. And adjustments. Nichols and this offense have the tools to beat pressure but didn't. Out side of Harris and run blocking our entire offense has to be better. And I'm sure it will be.

https://www.bluebombers.com/2019/07/27/upon-review-wpg-15-ham-23/ NICHOLS DIDN’T MINCE WORDS… when he met with the media following the game, immediately accepting the blame for his poorest game since last year’s Banjo Bowl. He entered the game with an active streak of 19 straight completions, but had that snapped on the first pass attempt when a shovel to Lucky Whitehead was dropped. His next attempt was intercepted and returned to the one-yard line, helping give Hamilton a 14-0 just seven minutes into the game. “For whatever reason, on two of the plays (interceptions) the ball kinda came out of the side of my hand,” Nichols explained. “I had open guys and was on the right read, but the ball came off the side of my hand twice and went 10 yards over where I was trying to throw it. It doesn’t ever happen in like one in a thousand throws, but it happened twice tonight. It’s brutal, but that’s the way this position goes. And that first one was the difference in the game score-wise, momentum-wise, everything. I had a guy open on a curl route and the ball just floated out of the side of my hand. It’s unfortunate.” “I’ve been on a lot of really good football teams and a lot of the best teams I’ve been on, sometimes a loss like this isn’t the worst thing to bring the realization that you’re not just going to go out and beat everyone by 30 points,” Nichols added. “This will be a great learning experience for everyone, including myself, that we need to play better football to win football games.”

Everybody rags on BC's OL....but man, their front 7 on D, is also a joke.

Nowhere to go but up.

I wonder if J5V is wondering why claybrooks hadn’t pulled Reilly yet? 👍

Lankford!!!

Hey guys, I think maybe BC sucks.

Ed Hervey should be fired. This is his mess.

You've sure got a strange outlook on life...

Masoli is a top QB. Evans isn't even close to being a starter, let alone a top CFL QB. It's ridiculous to ignore the change of QB as a reason our defence suddenly looked better. I'll go even further.... If Masoli stayed healthy, we'd have lost the game big time considering the number of times we gave the ball away.

This season, there are so many terrible teams that every team has a relatively soft schedule. We're a third of the way through the season. Even if they blow out the argos and lose the following week to Calgary, it still isn't really a big deal. This team will make the playoffs easily and while the bye is important, almost nothing that happens in week seven and eight is going to impact anything in the playoffs.

I didn't see a physically dominated team. The defence was poor on the first possession but almost every other point the Ticats got was essentially handed to them on a silver platter. All five of the meaningful turnovers in that game were inexcusable, but that's mental error and not physical. The argument could be made that if Charles Nelson plays last night, we win even with Nichols having the exact same performance.

To be fair (and I’m not a big Nichols guy) he hasn’t really been the reason we’ve lost in playoff games. He’s performed fairly well in those losses.
