It doesn't bother me. No one I know or hang around with even cares about it. If it can help sell tickets and promote the game, go for it. We need a win and I hope we are coming into your stadium to take one from you. You can call us whatever you want as long as you are behind us in the standings

What are you going to call the other 364 days in the year then?

I will give Nichol's credit for one thing, he stood up there and owned it after the game. His body language showed someone that can see the ice is getting thin around them. It wasn't everyone else's fault this week. I see the Riders focusing on the run this week, Brooks being back will make a big difference. I think its now or never time for Nichols, I don't see any teams lining up to pay him 400 plus the way he is playing. I actually see the Bombers shifting things this week to more of a passing attack. I think Nichols will bounce back and play better this week

A good HC surrounds himself with good assistants. A good HC has his replacement on staff, or maybe even more than one of them. He is comfortable in his own abilities and doesn't feel intimidated that he may be replaced. Drive it like you stole it.

I don't think there should be any panic either. Its one game. As good as it was for us to win it, its still one game. Lots of football yet to be played

Sorry about that, I should have quickly checked before I posted. The point stands. You have to win the game when you have the chance.

Game turned out about how I expected to. Rush three and control Nichols. Harris did well in the first half like he usually does, he is a first half superstar. He isn't getting any younger and I have said this before, he has no legs left in second half. We were missing Brooks at DT, he will be back next week. Bombers out scored in second half again. Nichols is who I have always said he was, won't get into that right now. I didn't notice as many Bombers fans this year as there usually is, not sure why. Was a good game and I am super happy we won although I expected us to. This week I expect we may lose in the Peg, should be another good game.

Really... Edmonton and Calgary had pretty good teams that lost those games. Do you think the Bombers could have won those cups had they been in the east? I don't like the playoff format myself, but it is what it is.

Golf's is the best steak in town, good prime rib too. Diplomat is 1B, very good also. Only about a block apart on Victoria ave. Copper Kettle has good pizza, Trifons is my favorite

True.

I'm sure there are some. I don't make a habit of going to any of them so I can't help you with that. I'm sure somebody will pipe in soon and say they all suck because they are in Regina, or something halfwit along those lines

OK. So what is your excuse for giving up 15 then? That's the entire Bomber offense all the time

Not the second lowest. The lowest

You can laugh all you want. As long as you lose

We have been working on a trick play with Gainer in on short yardage. They tuck the ball into one of Gainers fat rolls and no one knows where it is. It the hide and go seek play

We talk about practice all the time. No mentioning trick plays or anything like that. If a guy may have got hurt in practice or a little dinged up you don't want to mention that. If you are playing the Riders its ok to mention those other things, lol

Vet day maybe

Jeffcoat and Harris also not at practice

I'll stick up for Matt a bit here, I know I know. June 2013 exhibition game against the Riders. Eskimos qb Matt Nichols throws interception and gets blocked trying to tackle Carlos Thomas on his way in with the pick 6. Nichols got smoked and blew his ACL and was out for the season. He may have wised up a bit on that front. Not the qb's job to make tackles, far too much to risk when they do. https://www.thestar.com/sports/football/2013/06/18/edmonton_eskimos_qb_matt_nichols_out_for_season_with_knee_injury.html

I don't have any feelings. But if I did, they would be definitely hurt if we blew this game at home. This is a big one for both teams. We need this one to get into third place. You need this one to stop the bleeding. I like to joke around and talk football. Make no mistake, I am nervous about the game. Winnipeg has a good team, so do we. Its going to be a good game

6 sacks against in last 2 games since Hardrick went down says otherwise. I guess another way to look at it is Nichols struggling could have lead to some sacks, or was a result of the pressure

Collaros is playing better every week. Not turning the ball over, had INT last week when Christian Jones was in at receiver running the wrong route. Don't know wtf he was out there to begin with. I don't see him as a super star and have been disappointed with the lack of scoring by our offense. But your d is bad and that's just what the doctor ordered to get things moving. Also the Bombers can't win unless they score at least 30 points and that is not going to happen. You will score 20, question is, can Collaros score more than 20 against a defense giving up a average of 381.3 yards per game? I don't know. I give us the edge at home to do just that.

I haven't been hyping up Collaros at all. I just see how bad your defense is. Nothing scary about that group at all. Our defense matches up good against your offense pretty well also. Stationary qbs like Nichols are a tackling dummy for our blitz. Nichols will get hurt this week

As a outsider looking in. Blows me away that you guys don't have him on the roster every week. Its clearly not a priority or they would find a way

I can see NIchols getting a hangnail if the game isn't going good for him. Being injured will be a good way for him to not have to answer for another bad outing to the fans back home
