BANNED!

FTFY Ah the old, pick and choose which stats I'll take into consideration argument. Stats show that the bombers lose more then they win when Nichols is out of the game. It's been that way since he got here. We can't go back in time to see what would have happened. I'm not sitting here guessing. I'm using stats and facts to back up my point. Facts show more wins when Nichols is in the line up, proving he is in fact a difference maker.

If he signed to the PR he is available to everyone. They would have to roster him though. Which is how BC almost got our draft pick from last year. He declined though. I'd imagine Shepley would too, i'd be shocked if there wasn't some kind of an agreement between the two parties.

I think Simonese is going to light **** up next year. Him and Wolly are going to be a force!

signed to the PR.

Riders have signed Shepley to their PR. That's huge for them considering the state of that OL and the injuries from last week. Likely same role as Gray, won't step in immediately but gives them flexibility next year.

Anyone ever seen Dieter fan and Northern Skunk in the same room together?

I'd like to see Wolly there. Much more reliable hands and doesn't fumble as often

don't forget about Lefrance.

I'm going to disagree with this line. What's the bombers winning percentage without Nichols again? That suggests he is a difference maker in the only category that matters.

Yeah but Nichols didnt have 300 yards so the W doesnt really count..... 😂😂

The riders remind me a lot of the 2011 bombers and swaggerville. Solid D with no O. The bombers exposed the riders D on Saturday. Sure they didnt get the big stats. But they moved the ball when they had too, and that tape will speak volumes. Once the wheels start coming off the D and they need the O to put up 20+ points on the regular, the L's will start coming...

I think there was a learning curve after Bond left. But the line is operating just fine without him now.

oh yeah! It's staying on my PVR for a long time!!

There were multiple times where the rec. and Collaros looked scared.

I could agree with that first line, but they are 2 games above 500 with an opportunity to play a home playoff game for 2 years in a row. All the while Nichols has been doing Nichols. He doesn't have to be a game changer. Just can't give the game away. And I totally agree with the bolded part. In fact, I don't think this is even Nichols team to begin with. The bombers won't win the GC with Nichols arm, they're going to win the GC with Andrews legs and Bighills hits.

as I'm sure he was

I personally find it 100% ridiculous that people are complaining about a QB's stat line in a win. Never mind a blow out win. Never mind a blow out win at the end of the year in crunch time when both teams have a lot to play for. I couldn't give a **** about how many yards he throws for. Hell he could go 7 - 28 for 10 yards and 2 TDs. If they win by 31 with those stats. GREAT! Because at the end of the day, the W is all that matters. No one gets the grey cup because they threw for 7000 yards. They get it, because they win football games. They won the football game on saturday. End of story.

Mtl's issue is not having anyone to replace a QB. WPG already has players in line to replace anyone on the OL with the exception of Bryant. Who replaces Bighill and plays to the same or even near the same level? Keep in mind, they've had 5 years to find someone who could.....In that same time, they found 2 players (maybe 4) who could step in for Chungh and not even hurt the ratio. Nevermind the american players they've found. Again, this regime doesn't have time to let stars walk, just to sign foundation players that they already have replacements for. Like I said, I'd be on your side had we not just signed Gray. He gives them that flexibility to on the OL. If Gray can Play LT he can play G. That's not an issue. Also I really hope they sign both!

This club (Specifically Oshea and Walters) doesn't have the luxury of thinking too far down the road. They NEED to win NOW, if not this season within the next 2 or 3 for sure. Bighill has been there and done that. And he is a huge difference maker NOW. Chungh is too, but we likely have another 2 or 3 guys ready to step in if he goes down or is not re-signed. They don't have that luxury with Bighill.

Cause no one is complaining that Gaitor celebrated his TD. No one is complaining that Streveler celebrated his TD. ETC ETC ETC. It's fine to not like a player, and Nichols certainly deserved his criticism this year. But complaining about his TD celebration or his lack of huge numbers in a blow out win is stupid.

What is a bigger hit. Gray stepping in for Chungh (or couture/spooner etc) Or Wilson stepping in for Bighill. It's not an ideal situation on either side. But, I've seen how the defence plays without Bighill, and I've seen how the O plays with 1 new OL.

I could see this yesterday. But with Gray in the mix now, I'd make Bighill the bigger priority. Chungh is a close #2 though.

You're right, the camera never ever shows the qb after they throw a TD....never...its never once happened.

Anyone complaining about Nichols stats from last game. I hope you take this personally....I think you're an idiot. I'd also like you to start approaching the last few games of this season as if you know absolutely nothing about football, because you legitimately don't.
