it wasn't challenged, or league reviewed (which is a shame, that should have come back). How the Argos video crew didn't tell Dinwiddie to throw the flag is an embarrassment. Even in live speed, I thought the receiver grabbed his collar. Ended up being his hair, but the result should have been the same and the play overturned and penalty applied.

200+ rushing for Stanback and 4 INT's & no TD's for MBT... that pretty much tells the tale right there. Stanback was a beast tonight!

holy am I turning about to be wrong about this game. I had written the Als off in this game thinking the same about Shiltz.... Montreal is actually looking quite good, the back to back coming up against them might not be free spots on the bingo card like I'm sure most had thought!

I think the Argos are going to run the table the rest of the way.... their game against the TiCats week 15 might not even mean anything if they take care of their next 3 opponents. To start the year I thought the Argos would be fighting off a crossover for 3rd spot and it would be the Als & TiCats fighting it out for first. Been a far different outcome so far!

can't help but wonder what Whitehead would look like here this year with a QB who can get the ball downfield. I kinda felt like Lucky gave up on routes in 2019 because he knew he wasn't getting the ball, and it came across as making him look lazy & uninspired. Good to see him having some early success as a Lion!

maybe they think their net losses overall can be deducted from the salary cap total? will be interesting to see how many fans show up for their first game this season!

I'm a little late to the party here, but for those saying that Nichols was the best QB in the league in 2019... how quickly we forget that the first 8 weeks of the season were against extremely weak competition. Only 1 team had a winning record (Hamilton) and they lost against them. Playing Ottawa, BC, Toronto the bulk of the early schedule, of course he had a winning record. That game they lost to Toronto 28-27, to me, was the epitome of what we had with Nichols at QB. Just a guy who couldn't get it done when the stakes were at their highest. 169 yards passing this game, and even with Harris going for over 150 on the ground, couldn't keep the lead. The defence even bailed them out with a turnover with 1:44 left. What does the Nichols led offence go out and do, when all they need is a first down to all but ice the game. 2 & out. This, during what some are saying when he was 'at his best' ? Please. https://www.cfl.ca/games/2588/winnipeg-blue-bombers-vs-toronto-argonauts/?_ga=2.152605561.1119343581.1628611599-110836146.1617285075#videos Matty Ice? More like Ice Cold. There's a reason they needed Medlock with him at QB, because he couldn't finish drives. Nichols, after 2017 when there was enough film out there on him and our offence, declined big time. Even his 2017 numbers were propped up big time, dumping it off to Harris 105 times that season. Easy to have a great completion percentage when you throw the ball 3 yards. That said, he's gone and no longer our QB. I finally got my wish! I had honestly thought he had played his last CFL game when he got hurt mid-season here in 2019. He had a decent couple seasons, that was it. Not a guy that's going to the hall of fame by any stretch!

Come on down to Willypeg?

you should have heard the excuse I got from the Bomber store early in the season why my brand new jersey wasn't "Wear what the Players Wear". Was then told that I could buy one of the players game worn jerseys at the end of the season if I wanted the one with the Blue shoulders.

haha, was he at a game recently??

get Willie that WWE title belt for the press conference! And some front row seats for RAW in a couple weeks!!

isn't Bobby Gorgeous on Khari's coaching staff in Montreal?

especially given he's getting up there in age! his game is still there, but if he's going to play most of the XFL season, and then a full CFL season, I would have to expect a tail off in production in the last 1/3 of the season! If he's going back to Toronto though, they'll be out of the running by then anyways!

My guess is they went in there thinking the Argos were going to throw gobs of money at them, and instead got a base offer + performance bonus targets. Balked, and they said "fine, MBT has more upside anyways". He definitely has a better arm, and is more mobile. Not surprised they'd roll the dice on him over Nichols!

I was just editing my post realizing who said that and that it was sarcasm.... you're too quick! haha Would be surprised if Willie fled for a few extra bucks to go to the Argos. Don't see them making the playoffs next year, and you'd think he'd want to be a part of the quest for a repeat!
