Tough to say because as great as Leggett, Randle, and Dressler have been.. they still weren’t winning when Willy was in the line up.

It would be nice to see Nichols get the respect he deserves. What’s his record since taking over for Willy in 2016? If you don’t think there’s a correlation between us turning around as a franchise then you’re out to lunch. Let’s enjot what we have going now. Was Nichols great during our losing streak? No. Is he a contributor to our 8-5 record with him in the line up? Absolutely.

Do we really need to pull out his playoff stats for you yet again? Nichols wasn’t the reason we haven’t won in the playoffs. Our defense was painfully bad.

Won’t be easy but if we can’t beat a team in a funk filled with injuries at home, or a sub 500 Edmonton team then we really don’t deserve to be in the playoffs. Gotta beat the best to be the best.

Too bad about Mo. He was a special player here during his time. Really a huge part of being one of those big time, classy players who helped change the culture of our football club from being one or the worst ran organizations to one of the best. Whether this is the end or not I want to congratulate Mo for an outstanding career in the Blue and Gold. He always had an absolute nose for the football. Can’t be said enough his impact for the Bombers over his tenure here in Winnipeg.

I would love to see Demski play running back once Harris leaves. Still the best high school running back I ever saw play.

No need to rush Streveler. He’s the future. Keep running packages for him. His time will come eventually, the worst thing we could ever do is rush him and ruin his development. I’ve seen how fast Bomber fans can turn on a starting QB. You can go from hero to zero in a blink of an eye.

Randle and Leggett were outstanding. But I would be surprised to see them both back as well. Leggett was never the same from his injury, and Randle went from lock down corner to simply just ok. Weston still produces admirably. You know him and Nichols have chemistry but you also know he won’t ever play 18 games anymore.

MOP: Harris MOC: Harris MOR: Sayles MODP: Bighill MOL: Bryant MOST: Medlock

All three of their fans must be devastated.

New York City population: 8.5 million Winnipeg population: 700 thousand You got your answer right there.

Bighill is an absolute monster. No way we’d be this dominate on defence without him.

60 pounds but apparently he was selling out of his home! Only got 13 months in prison somehow.

Toronto has to be one of the most disappointing teams in the league no? From Grey cup champs to chumps.

Great post. Nichols has come to play come playoff time. Not his fault our defense has not.

They’re honestly not so bad. I was at the banjo bowl and they were mostly respectful and engaged in the good natured ribbing. Ps. Riders suck 😜

Something interesting to note... We have the second highest point differential in the league (+101) behind Calgary (+160) we have the highest scoring team in the league by far (466) which equals out to 31 points per game. One last thing to note. We’ve allowed 8 less points then the vaunted Saskatchewan Rough Rider defense. We’ve allowed 365 points while they’ve allowed 373. For the people who are so doom and gloom amongst a three game winning streak, take a second and look around the league. We had our mid season problems but I think we’re doing just fine, if anything we faced our adversity and we’re winnining when it counts.

56-10 seems like a distant memory

Bombers ten point favourites. Seems steep.

He’s a me guy not a team guy. Doesn’t understand why he hasn’t played since his concussion.. well Johnny.. they’ve won two in a row without you. Just another entitled guy who isn’t willing to put in the work or pay his dues.

The voice of reason! We’re 28-18 in the past two seasons plus this season and we’re acting like the sky is falling. Good teams go through adversity. Remember Ottawa and Toronto getting hot when it counted and winning the Grey Cup? I do. It’s ok to have high expectations and wanting to be better but I wouldn’t panic just yet.

Coaching was absolutely horrendous today.

I don’t know what’s worse. The INT or the decision to throw in the flats down by 14 with just over a minute left..

And yet he still had nearly 400 yards passing. Let’s not blame penalties for the fact that we were softer than baby **** on second down all night.

The real reason we lost was we had Ottawa second and long ALL night and Harris found the sweet spot in our zone every single time. I’ve never seen a team complete so many second and longs. This is 100 percent entirely scheme and even with the best MLB in the league and loads of talent on the defensive side we will struggle defensively all season unless there’s a change at the DC position.
