IMHO the Miller-Walters-OShea braintrust doesn't have a great track record managing the QB position. They seem not to recognize when change is overdue. Goes back to Drew Willy, same thing.

It would be great if Bombers gave Streveler more playing time going forward. I think he'll get better with more real time reps. And let him run the entire O package - not just QB keepers and run options.

It's not coaching, Bombers have a problem at the QB position. I've been saying this since mid-2017. Lapo is coaching to Nichols strengths, scant as they may be. Imagine if Nichols had been starting for Toronto tonight and if Bethel Thompson had been starting for Winnipeg - do you think Argos would have won?

What does that tell us? Other than MOS is stubborn and loyal to a fault. We already know that.

We're going to lose Streveler next year if we don't start to groom him to start, now. How can they not see that?

Lucky

The Bombers didn't play great but I blame Nichols for the loss mostly. His turnovers resulted in 10 points for Hamilton. We lost by 8.

Just out of curiosity, when was the last time Nichols engineered a come from behind win?

Well he'll be starting somewhere else next year if we don't give him a chance to do that here. And that would be a real shame.

I was disappointed we did not extend him this past off-season.

I don't have much confidence that we can win any important games with Nichols at QB.

Fajardo - Sask

Deeply disappointed we gave up a single.

Crockett and Dedmon looked pretty good for the RBs in the pre-season - if Jennings is hot could be a close game. But I think Bombers are just going to get better and better! Go Blue!

Streveler

O'Shea had words with the officials after Harris had is pot lifted the first time by Argos. That's 3 times in the past two games Harris has had his helmet yanked. Dangerous play.

Yes, I saw that Briggs had his left arm in a sling. I noticed John Rush got nicked too, didn't mention him in the earlier post. Harris seemed no worse for the wear but he certainly had to walk off a few stings during the game. I really wonder why Augustine didn't play at all until the final 2 mins. He's another guy who could benefit from reps and take the load off Harris. It seems like the game plan was to spread the ball carry load around a bit by giving the ball to Demski. But that didn't really work as well as the sweeps to Whitehead. But we had 189 yds rushing and 239 passing - nicely balanced attack.

I just knew Bombers would dominate the moment former Bombers DB #22 Don Burrell raised the 13th Man flag before kickoff! Great Game! 4-0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's hoping that Hecht Briggs Hardrick Bighill and Matthews are back next week vs Redblacks.

Wearing my #14 jersey to the game ... so expecting Marcus Sayles to have a big night and a major role in Bombers victory. (Last time wore #22 jersey and Fenner gassed it) lol

Bailey was practicing today by the look of it. Harris/Demski should have a good game running vs Argos. They've given up over 140 yds per game on the ground. Meantime, Bombers D has been spectacular stuffing the run. Average against: 42.7 yds per game.

Demski

Wish the Argos had won that game vs BC - they totally should've. So they might start out a bit snarly like nothing's wrong, but they've got to be mentally shaky. After all, they've only scored 38 points total in 3 games. Won't take too much for Bombers to force them into capitulation.

I said in preseason Bombers made a mistake letting Davis go. I hope he proves me wrong.

Chris Streveler

I don't know what the coaches are thinking but a lot of fans think Nichols is boring to watch - especially with the offensive weapons he's got. What's the point in having Chris Matthews if he hardly sees the ball? Nichols decides very quickly to throw the ball out of bounds. He does that alot. He slides or goes down as soon as a defender gets a pinky on him, instead of fighting for yards. We are blessed to have a shut-down Defence. But if Bombers management is thinking that at least Nichols can manage things so we might not lose - then I think people are going to stay home instead of buying tickets to see the team play. They might sell more tickets by giving Streveler the reigns. He's exciting to watch, even if there are some growing pains. Fans want to see him play.
