How long does Wally last after what he did last off season? David Braley owns the team. My condolences to Lions fans. #grindingtheteamintotheturf

During the broadcast they said Glenn wants to play another 3 or 4 seasons. I don't know about that...

Benevides in the broadcast booth & after how Wally gutted the Lions he's laughing & saying thank you.

Can't force Nichols to sign a contract. I never said that & can't figure out how you came to that conclusion. What I mean is Walters would (hopefully) find a way financially to sign him. Look at the game in BC today. John Beck is no starting CFL qb & he's 34 years old. Just a mirror image of what we had with Brian Brohm.Why would CFL teams sign washed up, old, has been qbs who never did anything as pro qbs? Fans in BC like Winnipeg aren't stupid. Beck shouldn't even be on the Lions roster & why wouldn't Buono have signed a younger more promising qb? They have less than 20,000 in attendance because BC fans are fed up. The Lions are dying.

If Nicholls plays well would Walters really let him get away knowing he'd get all the flak if Willy got hurt again & we're back to square one with our backup qbs again losing games? I think just to keep his job next season Walters knows he has to sign him or sign or trade for another proven veteran backup qb. Nobody wants to go back to the black hole we found ourselves in with Brohm & Marve just one game ago. And what we'd probably find ourselves in again with inexperienced backup qbs.

Not a Stala fan. I saw him yapping on the Ti cat bench. He's always been that way.

We've seen Nicholls body of work in Edmonton so I think we should know what we are getting. He's a veteran qb who may not be a long term starter but certainly good enough to help the Bombers if Willy is not able to play like now. In the mid 80's we had Tom Clements & John Hufnagel as the 2 qbs. Hufnagel wasn't good enough to beat out Clements but he could do good things when he had to go in. Willy & Nicholls are the best qb tandem we've had since then. And they're younger.

Stay in Edmonton with your boy, McDavid.

It does to a team that had the worst quarterback depth forever. What's the point of signing your superstar qb (Willy) & selling the idea to Bombers fans that Happy Days Are Here Again only for the season to be lost when he gets hurt because the quarterbacks behind him are useless. Lesson learned by Walters I would hope. Enough that if Nicholls plays well he doesn't let him get away in free agency. In the words of Chris Jericho, I never.... EVER.... want to see Brian Brohm play another game for the Blue Bombers again.

Lordy, lordy, lordy... lead us to the promised land, people!

Why would you say that? Your bet Ottawa?? Is that because it's Winnipeg & Walters will just say, ah he's not worth it so let him go? The season isn't even over & you're just being fatalistic. I tell you what, if Nicholls plays well & since WE TRADED FOR HIM which means he knows we wanted him, whereas in Edmonton he was more of an afterthought, I'll make a bold prediction... he'll sign here. Not Ottawa.

The Hawks are another team that looked far, far better in royal blue. Yeah, the old colours really worked as a combo. Now, it's hideous but the team wins so it's actually great.

Careful, you'll piss off Noeller by talking about the past. Harumph! Harumph!!

What kind of money will Matt Nicholls be looking for anyway as he hasn't shown in the past that he's a long term starter in the CFL? I think his options would be limited unless he really plays extremely well in the final 7 games of the year where other teams would pursue him in free agency thereby driving up his worth as a qb. Nicholls is still a valuable addition who overcame adversity last night & the team rallied around him. Nicholls is light years better than what we had & suddenly with Drew Willy we actually have legitimate qb depth like the Stampeders & now can perhaps start developing young qbs in the #3 position. This is a game changer for the team, folks. I can't recall the last time we had two qbs with CFL experience who can play. To answer your question, the Bombers need to sign Nicholls to a new contract before he hits free agency next February.

That was the kind of play we used to do on defense in the 80's.Harrumph Harrumph!! I have no idea what that means? We had a championship defense back in the day who made timely plays to win games with linebackers like Jones, Battle & West. That defensive touchdown was as good a play as I've ever seen. That's all I meant.

That was the kind of play we used to do on defense in the 80's.

More than just that... We threw the ball downfield as good as we ever did this season under Willy. Nicholls can actually do his pre snap reads & get rid of the football unlike the stiff we had playing qb last week. Defense played extremely well. I think the tandem of Willy & Nicholls will be an interesting one.

nichols was 5-2 as a startr this year - now 6-2, thats why brohm n marve on a short leash not so much our new guy. Gotta be excited to see how much better he gets with more familiarity with the players. Alot of drives stalled early by miscommunications Just goes to show how bad Brohm is & how he should be sent packing for good.

Glad to see you've found your happy place... finally Thanks for your concern.

Loved those Royal Blues today.

Looks like Stala was doing what Stala always does mouthing off. That was just a nudge to tell him to get off his sidelines. Hardly a big deal. Yeah, after what I've seen the past 2 seasons, I'd take Austin's passion over the smirking O'Shea who does nothing on the sidelines but stare off into space anyday.

The only good thing to come out of WCW was the NWO. It was riveting tv. I remember one episode they took Ric Flair into a field & (kayfabe) beat the crap out of him. I was going WTF?

Standing pat for the sake of standing pat & hoping things will get better next year isn't the answer either. What if the Bombers go 4-14 this season? Will you feel the same way you do now? I think if that happens, a lot of posters here who now support Miller, Walters & O'Shea are going to be calling for heads to roll including Lawless. I'm not advocating for a total housecleaning if the team doesn't do well but O'Shea should be shown the door then at the end of the season.

It is what it is. That's what these guys do. Exhaust all options down there first. If I was a pro football player and a team offered me a workout, I'd take it too. I'd take it until they weren't available any more. Yeah, agreed. I would too. Just sayin' what it looks like after being cut by 1 team & not being signed by the Giants. .
