“It’s kind of an inside thing between me and Strev (Chris Streveler),” said Nichols afterward. “We always talk about how nice it is when you watch other guys get freebie touchdowns and how we haven’t had many of those here in the past. I kinda just looked right at him and ‘Yeah, there was one.’ It’s something that you don’t expect that to end up as a touchdown. He’s a difference maker to be able to turn something like that into a touchdown.” *EdTait He’s referring to this:

We only had one game that Edmonton used to base a game plan on..and they followed it. 15 targets at Fenner. New expression. We’re Fenerable. Work on it D.

Now that’s in your face..

That last TD, scored by Masoli, was a helmet to helmet hit....by Masoli.

All part of the master plan. Give them oodles of time possession and let them get super tired running all those routes. Tired hands. Its a thing. Called the overly handsome defence.

Is it like a Forde, but only in Black?

We don't. We celebrate wins. It’s a sports thing and we’re continuing to do it again this year.

Why isn’t the way our offence is designed taken into consideration? We just might have the most complete balanced attack in the league. That’s right. When that stops happening, then we can say huh.. But aren’t they exciting? And Harris is an elite QB. Don’t forget that.

64.8% COMPLETION % 61.9% 82.72 EFFICIENCY 121.13 So, which QB is which?

When we score less points than 7FGs and lose, then, I guess we have a problem..

Yeah, Edmonton and a 2-1 record does looks pretty good.

Med locks one in..

I do not want Edmonton to see a chance for victory and go to 3-0. Edmonton would look much better with a 2-1 record.

This damn bye week wait makes it feel like we’re just starting the season again. Let’s get it on already!

TSN reports viewership is down overall... Fans report that game announcers have a lot to do with it..

IT’S GAME DAY! Bye,bye bye..👋 Matt Nichols is excited I would think..- Matt Nichols is 4-2 as a starter for Winnipeg against Edmonton - 3 of his best 10 CFL games have come against Edmonton including his career high of 390 yards (Aug 17/17: 40-32-390-0-1). He has games of 390, 330, 320 & 300 yds vs Edmonton. Pressure’s on for....Fenner and Rose. Hope the Bombers have a great game plan on defence. Remarkable. Goes to show you......7 of the last 9 EDM-WPG games have not been decided until the final 3:00. Scoring First Matters. Edmonton is 11-5 when scoring first since 2017 and Winnipeg is 17-5. Chris Streveler started at QB for Winnipeg in 2018 - Matt Nichols started only the 30-3 win on Sep 29th. I hope they keep this stat going...Winnipeg has gone 5-0 when coming off a bye over the last two years as they will be this week. Andrew Harris' 148 rushing yards in Week #1 was the 3rd-highest game of his career and most ever in a season opener.… The last Edmonton QB before Mike Reilly to start vs Winnipeg? By coincidence - Matt Nichols in 2015, the projected Bombers starter in this game. (Reilly has started 13 of the last 14 matchups vs Winnipeg) The Bombers did not commit a Turnover at BC and forced 3 by the Lions (2 INTs and one on downs). Their 2-point defensive convert tied the game but for the record is not counted as a T/O since no new series of downs occurs. But it scored points! The 2-point defensive convert by Chandler Fenner was the first in the CFL since 2017 (2 that year, Courtney Stephen and Duron also on blocked 1-point converts similar to Fenner's). Trevor Harris is 2-2 career vs Winnipeg, 1-0 for Toronto vs the Bombers and 1-2 for Ottawa. Conversely, NONE of Harris' Top 14 career performance have come against the Blue Bombers. Cut the Gable! - C.J. Gable has the entire CFL in rushing in each of Week #1 and Week #2. He now has a career-best 3 straight 100-yard games. - The Esks lead the CFL in BOTH Net Offence and Net Defence averaging 508 yards for and just 221 yards against thus far. - This game features the Club with the MOST TDs on Offence (EDM with 8) vs the team allowing the LEAST (WPG with just 1 against). The last QB to throw 6 TD passes in the first games of the season before Harris? Chris Streveler last season. Last week vs BC, Edmonton scored on 4 straight possessions driving 71, 59, 75 and 75 yards for scores generating 17 first downs. - Trevor Harris has led the Esks to a 2nd down conversion rate of 64%, #1 in the CFL through Week #2. Eskimos surrendered 165 yards on 14 penalties last game. Key for Winnipeg - discipline. Let the ‘Schmoes lose yardage en Maas (sic) with undisciplined play. GO BLUE!

Coming soon...to Regina. A brand new error B & B. Bennett to Bennett.

Your proposal will be Denyed! I’m 33% confident in that!

The 33% figure floating around this thread is only Nye’s percentage of CONFIDENCE in his choice of Edmonton beating Winnipeg. I'd bet on it..

So, ‘Starsky was your hunch?

It’s all just B.S. (ball security) I’d like to see the actual and the factual, ie the number of touches vs the number of lost balls. I know he has that reputation and it is warranted to a degree, but who’s really fumbling the ball on this assertion? Nic, we have our 👀 on you!

It’s been a long wait. Tomorrow, we unveil what could be our best receiver lineup, for a varied and diverse group, in a very long time. Adams, ‘Starsky, Mat*thews, Demski, Whitehead, with a touch of Harris and Nelson.

Yeah, 3 changes to the O-Line. That should work out jussst fine.

The knowledge and insight that Walby brings to the table would be priceless. Combine Walby with Dunigan and you would have an outstanding production. TSN would benefit immensely in viewership. Everybody wins. Dare to dream.

He’ll play. Can’t wait!
