TBURGESS

The next 5 games will show what kind of team we are this year.

It's easy LeBird... When we win, Nichols is great, PLAP's called a good game and MOS has made all the right calls. When we lose, Nichols sucks, PLAP called a bad game and MOS shoulda thrown his challenge flag.

I doubt that MOS would have won a 3rd down ball placement challenge. I can't remember any coach winning one. Better to keep the challenge for something that's winnable. Bighill led the team in tackles with 10. He was much better this week than he was last week. I expect him to be back to his old self soon.

The other teams good plays aren't always because we made a crap play. A couple of great throws under pressure and a couple of great catches while covered could easily mean that the Argos make a game out of it without us playing like crap.

You're suggesting that the only way the Argos can make a game out of it is if the Bombers play like crap. I don't think that's true. Frosty... You know Jon won that battle right?

It's either lose Streveler or Nichols. We can't afford both.

No they aren't.

I'd rather see the Argos make a game out of it instead of a blowout that's over in the first quarter.

I'm hoping for a close game decided in the last couple of minutes. Hamilton's a significantly better team with a ton of injuries. Riders are riding high on beating up on the worst teams in the league. Fajardo won't fare as well against Hamilton's D as he did against the Lions. The big question is can Evans play well enough to get a TD or two?

Hanging on by a thread... Streveler.

I've already seen enough ass whoppin's this year. I'd rather see a closer game where we win.

Toronto will take any old QB eh. We got a lot more for our broken Willy back in the day and they shouldn't have made that trade either.

I agree that Streveler should have got more playing time and the full playbook against Tor and Ott. I disagree that you don't pull a player who is having the worst game he's had in about a year. It wouldn't have mattered if we lost with Streveler getting more reps or with Nichols getting the reps, but Streveler needs those reps to get better and gave us a better chance to win IMO.

Threw 3 picks. Wasn't seeing the field properly. Was taking big chances like throwing into double coverage. Played his worst game since last years Banjo bowl. I don't hate Nichols but even you have to admit that was his worst game of the season. If you don't it's your bias showing, not mine. Yah. I'd have pulled him after the 3rd pick because he wasn't playing well. The perfect record and MOP don't trump the fact that he wasn't playing well in the game.

That Nichols 'didn't have it' in the game so he wasn't going to get the big comeback. That's the perfect time to give Streveler a chance, especially against a defence that doesn't defend the run consistently.

The old there's no guarantee 'argument'. Of course there's no guarantee. There never is. If Nichols was lost for the season... Yes, I think Streveler is good enough to take the team as far as it can go. All we need is a QB who can throw for 200 yards and rarely turn the ball over. Last game we had the perfect opportunity to give Streveler experience. We chose to keep Nichols in even tho he was having a terrible game. The backup isn't going to get experience unless Nichols is injured.

I think Nichols is a streaky QB. When things are going good, he can be lights out. When 1 thing goes bad it tends to snowball. In the Hamilton game, Nichols badly wanted to continue his completion streak and they called the easiest ball to complete, the sweep dressed up as a pass. That one was dropped. Next play Nichols overthrows his receiver big time for a pick, almost a pick 6. Once he threw his 3rd pick, it was time to give Streveler a chance while we still had time to win the game.

I doubt a pro athlete ever pulls himself for not having it. That's the coaches job.

At least if we cannibalize our young, I'm OK. 😂

No one is going to complain if we win by 20. Folks will if we win by less than a TD.

If we lose to the Argos then something's terribly wrong with the team.

Bullshit.

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.

My whole point is Masoli v Evans. I didn't suggest that the D wouldn't make adjustments, that's on you. I said the hugely superior Masoli would have played better than the greatly inferior Evans. You trying to extrapolate from a single data point (A pick) and you're not even doing that properly. 1 pick in 10 min = 6 picks in 60 min. I'm using the 2 QB's entire CFL careers to reach my conclusion. It's also common knowledge that backup QB's with little experience don't play as well as top ranked starters. You may get tired of what you consider my gloom and doom, but I get equally tired of people making stuff up that I never typed then getting upset about it.
