We need to use Strev more, but actually rotating QB's throughout the game has never really worked in the history of football. What we need to do is treat our QB situation with Nichols as the 1A and Strev has the 1B and pull Nichols when hes struggling. Let's not forget that Ricky Ray was often pulled for Jason Maas and Casey Printers/Dave Dickenson were also pulled for each other. If it's clear that one guy doesn't have it, give the the other guy a shot to finish the game.

They played on the same team, Nichols got traded and Franklin came in and played better. I don’t know what you’re saying but there’s no arguing that point, it’s 100% a fact.

QB1: 84/133 for 973 yards (7.31 YPA) with 6 tds 1 int 63.2% and 97.1 QB rating QB2: 129/209 for 1448 yards (6.92 YPA) 8 tds 10 ints 61.2% and 75.6 QB rating. Qb 2 was also traded for a bag of footballs and replaced by QB1.

You do know that the Eskimos won the Grey cup that year right? James Franklin came in and played far better than Matt Nichols until Reilly was healthy. Teams can win in spite of their QB and Nichols has been among the worst QBs in the league the last three games.

Let’s not forget that Edmonton was 5-2 with Matt Nichols and still benched him for James Franklin.

Everyone’s too busy roasting Nichols to remember that Jeff Hecht was who we thought he was tonight.

Two touchdowns more than makes up for it.

Can’t wait to buy a ticket dirt cheap the day before the game.

I’ll take a Grey Cup any single way we can get it.

Nichols and the two other star players it’ll take make up for the salary difference? No thanks.

Kenny Lawler may have played his way off the roster with his performance today.

Yeah Woli could be a Jason Clermont type of guy at slot, but that’s also a lot of wasted money on Matthews or Adams If one of them is at the wide side receiver.

Well that’s only due to the Darvin Adams injury. Keeping Matthews at WR and putting Adams at SB may be better when Adams is healthy.

Nichols sucked and our returners sucked but it was one game. We’re on pace to be 15-3, the sky isn’t falling.

People here are acting like La Rocha is a mafia restaurant. I’ve never been there till 2 am, but I used to go there after work quite abit last summer and always enjoyed the atmosphere and never got a feeling that it was filled with “gangsters”.

I hope the Riders loss to Ottawa ultimately ends up costing them a playoff spot.

Even if we're assuming this is true, i'm not sure I instantly cut a guy for getting into a fight without knowing the full story. IF he full out assaulted someone sure, but if he was just defending himself absolutely not.

I can’t imagine we’d be sitting Matthews if he’s ready to play. Slow start to the season or not, we’ll need a productive Matthews for our O to play to its full potential.

I mean i did remember it correctly actually .. and it was the most heartbreaking Bomber season for sure. Hard to say it was the greatest season when a team that good doesn’t win the Cup.

What was our record to start 2001? Didn’t we start something like 2-2 then pulled off 12 straight wins or am I imagining that?

Arbuckle played way way better than Masoli. The Stamps were let down by Eric Rogers (and others) drops and the two fumbles.

I’m surprised we didn’t give Gray a go at tackle. I don’t think he really could’ve been worse than Speller.

Well honestly, considering the lacklustre import receivers we’ve scouted, that’s something we should be doing when guys get hurt. I would rather have Peterman in the lineup than most of our backup Americans. I mean four might be excessive, but it makes sense to give a guy like Simonise a shot. Simonise just quite literally dropped the ball.

I thought the reports here were saying that he tore his ACL? I guess it just ended up being a minor injury?

Another idea that's never come to fruition/gone by the wayside that would help the teenage demographic is a CFL video game. I absolutely love what they're doing in Edmonton though, I think that's a fantastic idea.
