My point is, he only hit his shoulder because Demski essentially laid down on his back. The ball was very much under thrown.

No, if it was even a remotely well thrown ball, Demski would not have had to basically stop and lay backwards in order to even have a shot at it. He had a step on the coverage and the ball should have hit him in stride. I'm not saying he shouldn't have caught it, cause he had a shot. But I don't consider that ball to be well thrown at all.

I'm not sure I'd call that pass "perfect". Catchable, maybe...but certainly not perfect.

I hope the riders just keep looking better and better. Will make it all the sweeter when the bombers ******* crush their delusion of a playoff berth/win.

An argument could be made that he did.

Kind of off topic, but I noticed this past week during the TO and Edm game when they were listing longest Losing streaks by a Head Coach that Bud Grant was near the top of the list. Something like 13 in a row I think. Goes to show you that even the greats struggle.

This is a fair point. But the lack of running was still annoying.

Lapo does this often. Like at least once a year. Where he seems to think "(Insert team that's bad against the run) is expecting us to run it down their throats, soooo we'll come out throwing!!" There was a home game against BC a few years ago were something similar happened. BC was awful (surprise surprise!) against the run, it was late in the year and a cold day. Bombers being the hard nosed team they were didn't run the ball until 2nd ******* quarter (or at least well into the game). The people around me were cheering and high fiving me after the 1st run cause I was screaming at Lapo to run the ball. BC was a soft indoor team that couldnt stop the run, playing in the cold!!! ******* run it!!! God, still pisses me off lol.

Nichols was playing against a solid Defence and the wind. He was the only qb on the field. Our Defence played very well against a back up qb. The two are related, however not in the sense that it was QB vs QB. I've never understood that comparison.

Lol if the bombers only win by 1 point, will they receive any less points in the standings? If they lose, will they be eliminated from playoffs?

I give the Defense credit, but would be lying to myself if I ignored the flat out horrible throws to open receivers.

Please let Watford come in and torch them lol

Completely agree. Masoli is in and the team likely gives up far more points.

If you heard Hardrick after the game, once he was told that Oshea agreed they got physically dominated he said he was ready to go back out and start hitting people.

This is my biggest complaint. Especially when your qb is struggling. And your RB is getting solid yardage. Classic Lapo.

We will just have to agree to disagree about the big game stuff. He absolutely played terrible last night, I'm not questioning that. My point about the TD drive was just that he came out and responded, which is a great sign. The game didnt turn around but at the very least he was still firing the ball. The last drive, a few things caused the crap results. Injuries being one. Throwing into the wind. And lack of protection. I was saying he needed to start forcing the ball there, but that's not the kind of player he is, so it didnt surprise me. He did what he needed to, to keep the drive alive, but it was too little too late. Throwing the ball deep into coverage could have resulted in another int ending the game, so its damned if you do damned lf you dont. Too bad the game ended on a sack, cause we can only speculate what that call would have been.

On the last Drive, Lucky was running some lazy routes. You could see immediately that he was not going deep. A few things play in to that, but at the same time, you still gotta run hard in that kind of situation. Was very disappointing.

I think this is the earliest I've ever been out...

"Can he win the big game?" Is a bullshit question this time of year. 1...its still way to far away for there to be a big game. 2. Hes won big games before, everyone looks at the losses, but ignores the wins. He won in Ssk 3 ******* times, hes won banjo bowls, he has won in the playoffs. Important regular season games with playoffs on the line. Lol Its ******* ridiculous to question his ability. "The great ones find a way" look at his record...what does it show? That he has won far more than he's lost. All these questions just sound like "when will he prove to me personally that he will win a grey cup in week 4 of a regular season?" What do you people want? He cant win a grey cup, until it's time to play in the grey cup. Right now, it's about building to GET THERE. As of right now, they're doing a hell of job. Even last night, he threw some bad passes then came back and responded with a TD pass. Didnt turn out well, but that's sports. Go play some and you'll see.

It's also only 1 ******* loss. They weren't going to win them all. Even WITH Streveler as qb. People need to pull their heads out of there asses.

We should just cut everyone and fold up for the year. It's clearly over.

Incomplete....or is it.....he caught the ball, or did he? Lol

So Lucky AND Jefferson were Mic'd up. and all we got was the ******* punter? From the team that got **** kicked?? WTF Wired!!!??!!

Jamie Nye not picking the Bombers?!?!?! Bet no one saw that coming.

How many times will we hear.... "Speedy B!" "Bombers need no Luck!" Or something of the like...
