Pretty sorry excuse, when we played Ottawa they had beaten Calgary and Saskatchewan... That's the supposed top 2 teams in the west on the year. And I don't see how Collaros really did outshine Nichols other than the people who would rather stab their own eyes out than give Nichols any shred of credit. Their numbers are very very similar overall, because that's the numbers this offense put up. It's a running offense, the QB play is basically boiled down to "don't **** up"

You know at this point I just assume that if I get a notification for a like that it's you agreeing with me.

10-25 20 CGY 22 28 221 2 1 7.9 11-10 22 CGY 11 21 193 1 0 9.2 11-17 23 SSK 17 25 267 1 0 10.7 11-24 24 HAM 17 23 170 0 0 7.4 Those are Collaros numbers.... you know what they look like? They look an awful lot like typical Matt Nichols numbers with this team.

So how come the record with Streveler sucks balls compared to Nichols? And I say that as someone who loves Streveler and thinks he's gonna be an absolute star. He lost games that Nichols woulda won for this team. The only comparison here that makes any sense is for arguing that Collaros is better than Nichols, and he might be, he does keep his eyes downfield better than Nichols, but as others mentioned, he was pretty lucky he didn't rack up some turnovers in the games he did play. over the course of a season those sorts of things do even out.

The only applicable stat is the eye test, but you can only use that if your head is lodged firmly in your own ass. I just will not understand how people can ***** so much about a qb who has done nothing but win games for this team since he took over the starting job.

is it racist to call racists racist? Minorities can be racist too. Fact is that Shivers had an agenda. There's a reason that Danny Barrett was the coach he hired. Guy flat out said he was hiring the best black coach out there.

OK but what's his twin brother Tommy planning on doing?

Wilson ran down Brandon Banks... I wouldn't be looking to replace that guy any time soon.

probably pissed off that he had to work for a white man. Guy was one of those real angry racists. And yes I am sure he had to deal with discrimination and racism directed his way in his life, but the answer to that is never being racist right back.

He was an angry dude with a chip on his shoulder coupled with an enormous amount of arrogance. It's no wonder that the bandwagon jumpers who joined that fan base when he was GM took on his personality.

yeah the pregame huddle with jefferson telling the guys to give everything they have. It really shows the focus and understanding of the moment this team had. A week of focus for an entire offseason of partying. Which apparently Streveler is fully intending to do.

Yay for small sample sizes! Yes Collaros and Nichols do things differently, and maybe Collaros is the overall better quarterback... but the numbers offensively still played out the same for every quarterback we used. Not super impressive passing stats, a crap load of rushing yards. The way this team was set up was the same for every qb. Don't make mistakes and capitalize on the chances you get. That's what Nichols was doing this year. It is quite frankly unfair to put the midseason crap on Nichols. There was a fundamental change in the way this team played after those games they gave away with the passive ****. Defensively they tightened up a hell of a lot and offensively they stayed more aggressive too. Let's consider that Bailey and Lawler really came on as the season progressed and I don't think Nichols ever got the chance to have Bailey in the lineup. That makes a difference too. To try and downplay Matt Nichols is just silly give all the factors surrounding this team.

Right? 7-2, top offense in the league, redzone domination and cruising to an easy first place in the west finish. But haters gonna hate.

Get the **** over yourself and stop downplaying Matt Nichols. If Nichols had played the whole season like CoFaj did Nichols would have blown him away in counting numbers.

He's a made man now. Untouchable.

imagine going all in on Cody Fajardo

cause there's no risk with Arbuckle at all right?

Lapo did fine on sunday. One of the "good Lapo" games. Overall though I find he is still too up and down in the play calling regard. I guess I was wrong when I said we'd never win with him calling plays, but hey when you get a team effort like that.....

he saw first hand what the defense was doing this post season. He might be an arrogant douchebag, but he ain't a dummy.

I like the T-shirts they have, I want one.

100%, and getting those turnovers early was a huge kick to the teeth for the ti-cats as well. Evans never had time to set up and throw. he was rushed all night.

the entire stadium ooooohhhhhed at that one and did it again when they showed a replay.

and then breaking down the game with random strangers on the C-train after all that, priceless.

Watching the bombers win it live?

She was desperate.
