Completely agreed....Nichols is doing just enough to not lose the game, but what could we do with an actual, quality starter?

Harris along the sideline isn't exactly a quick out........

That would be an inaccurate statement....

thanks Rich...that makes more sense. Also, I hate Fancy Stats. Be it hockey or football.......ugh.

The home might be beautiful, but I'll tell you there's nothing beautiful about being on Lake Manitoba......

can someone put into english what that "Expected" stuff is? What exactly is he trying to say? Nichols is getting more help than Willy did?

based on Lapo's offense, Smith and Dressler here, and a quality OL, I think Durant would do really well right now and could walk in and take over immediately, plug n play. And I say that as a guy who has NEVER liked Durant at all....ever........but he'd be a step above Nichols for sure.

what if the defense isn't giving you the deep ball? What if the defense takes that away and only allows you the dink-n-dunk underneath? What if not going deep means a lot less turnovers, potentially, and that's the reason Nichols has been able to play (mostly) mistake-free football and allow us to win the turnover battle pretty handily? Again, just "What If"'s..........

And the politicians get involved. Former CPC MP and current wannabe AB PC leader, Jason Kenney, blasts the Riders on social media for bringing aboard, "an unrepentant anti semite".... This isn't going away anytime soon.....

When I look at the sched, that's kinda what I see.....10-8.

this is just the best news ever.....

When are they back on the practice field? Golf tournament was Monday, I think yesterday was a day off.....is today the first day back at 'er?

yeah that's an old bit of info from last week that's been discussed, and Lawless has since refuted...saying no such conversation has taken place or likely to in the near future......

Curious if it means anything that we're adding an OL (is someone hurt?) or is that just "hey, free NI OL!" to keep around just in case....

The water and (guessing here) the land north of, say, Dauphin (for arguments sake) isn't as conducive to growing as it is in Alberta, where there is great farmland all over the province. North of Winnipeg is good cattle country, for sure, but it's not a LOT of great crop land. Manitoba's crop land is mostly south of the #1......mostly..........

It's not even really a big deal....I don't know why this discussion is even happening........

More farming in AB by far.....it might even be 2:1.....

LG is the only spot Travis Bond has played all season, save for one time he filled in during an injury situation........

that one's the saw-off for me, at this point...probably the best comparable, based on their current situations/injury history/etc....

Already a discussion on this... Check the Cgy/Ham game thread.

Just as a quick reference, when ratings come out, generally what's listed is 12+. So that's Males and Females older than 12 years old. For a lot of media, that's a useless generalization. CFL and TSN are only really concerned with M18-49, and I couldn't tell you how that's doing...

Have heard OF him, but too young to remember. Heard stories from the old man back in the day...

Little is another one I could see having a letter. And Toby is another good suggestion. The one thing about this Jets team, there's a great leadership core. Lot of great character guys.

Wheeler C, Scheiffle A and maybe Myers A.........I could see Buff with a letter, but he's the kinda guy who doesn't need it. Just let him play the game...he's a leader without needing a letter.

dude they picked up as NI depth for the PR when we had a pile of injuries happen....NI LB.....
