Booch

nope hahahahahha

Strev has really hardly had a chance to run the entire offence, let alone throw much..he's 9 of 13 for 82 yards..1 TD and 2 Picks..

I think we should start him and let him and team have it known he is taking the reigns of the offence..the full offence for the first couple of possessions...let Nichols watch from sidelines and see how things develop, and play out...get a feel for the game and realize taking shots isn't the dangerous taboo it is assumed to him.. Regardless tf Strev goes 2 and out..2 and out..or puts together 2 TD drives...seen coaches do this before, and also seen it done to throw a curve against D -Coordinators and catching them with their pants down to kick start a game Works 2 fold as it allows Streveler to run the full package and put to rest the idea he can't throw..the dude put up over 4100 yards in his senior season with 32 TD's in 13 games...guy can toss the pill

Well he never turned ball over...got us in position to kick 2 field goals...another where we failed on 3rd and short...and put up 33 some odd minutes of time of possesion...effectively keping Cgy off the score board...there is that aspect that can't be understated Maybe it's football gods shining down on him for many many many games in 2016 and 2017 where he put up over 30 points as the QB and we lost because our defense couldn't stop a JUCO offence consistently

YEAH...us poor fans having to suffer through this garbage knowing that whatever happens the rest of the weekend we are still in first place...we got it rough haha

considering that the only free agents next year are Arbuckle..Streveler...most likely Bridge and other random back-ups...whom else do you suggest the Bombers sign??...Nichols is already under contract regardless, so he will be here...possibly re-structured, but Strev will be signed with incentive, and caveat that if he wins out as starter, he will get proper compensation for first time starter contract...can deal with the Nichols issues then after camp

YOU got to lose this Nichols hate....sure the team won....but if your team has a shitty goalie..a shitty pitcher...and a shitty qb...you are usually a shitty team...drop it already Do i wish Nichols showed more at times..sure...do I think if he plays a clean game and we score 20+ or more points (as a team) do i think he gives us the chance to win 9 times outta ten...yup i do

out sacked them 2 to 1 as well hahaha won all aspects...so...win was deserved..case closed..IN FIRST PLACE...move on to BC!!

Well we have one of the tallest (Matthews) and one of the fasted (Whitehead) and 2 guys (Adams and Lawler) who combine a nice combo of both...so....lets use them accordingly lol

so all Nichols does is check downs...yet is above league average in 20+ yard attempts....

so in your opinion everyone sucks...but Nichols sucks the least....yet in your eyes he's not getting it done...odd take on things

could care less what he gets for yards as long as we don't turn the ball over and win...just wondering...who has "thrown" for more TD's than Nichols this year?...and thats after 3 sub par games??

and we are 6-2 and in first..also lead the league in offensive TD's scored...hmmm

2 Of 3 facets are usually needed to win a game...and we accomplished that..and won were pretty much even in total yards on offence..Calgary had 19 more yards but we dominated time of possession...so why don't we deserve the win?? And looking back on years past this was a game we would inevitably lose 9 times out of 10 and it would be noted that good teams find a way to win...so perhaps maybe warts and all...we are now that "good" team...hmmmm

yeah when Strev wasn't brought in i was already thinking a dumb play call happening here..all on Lapo...run that exact same play with Strev...we score

exactly...smart coaching...and this should be used more often in situations in the red zone...not just to close out a game...we do that on the one drive where we settled for a field goal...we score

Nichols puts that ball over the left shoulder of Matthews he has body position and pulls it it....as it was..on wrong side and DB was able to get hands inside and disrupt the catch...why we don't take 3-4 shots like that to Matthews is baffling and is on Lapo....he makes 90% of those catches and it would loosen up defenses to allow guys like Lucky and Demski to grab crossing and slant routes in stride and most likely with a defender in trail position..I like our odds with any defender in trail position on Lucky...Grant too would be nice to see in rotation with Lawler

Tho not happy with the lack of vertical push, we took what arguably the best defense in league right now gave us and it worked...the check downs aren't sexy but kept drives alive and ate up a lot of clock. The Stamps have been shutting teams down lately and have won some games without much offense themselves so we played a smart safe game..we won..we are in first for now...why complain. You can say luck played into it due to the returns, but it's not always luck...a return takes a lot of things to go right to be successful...even moderately successful as well as and if your guys mess up assignments...it's ugly....it goes both ways. Nobody has a crystal ball either so who's to say if we didn't take the rock to the house we wouldn't have scored anyway...you will never know, so why dwell on it. I did see a concerted effort to throw downfield, so thats a start...Matthews ball was not really a drop...Nichols put it in wrong spot and the DB got his hands inside of Matthews and helped in dislodging it...if that ball is over the left shoulder Matthews makes the catch....continuing with Matthews he needs more than 4 targets a game...he should be fed 7-9 times minimum like other teams do their top guy, and not the 7-9 yard routes they run him..I think 2 of his 4 catches were routes inside the first down marker...stupid Defense though having a small blip after first 2 drives made the adjustments needed and shut things down nicely..thats even with an early injury in the secondary...and even without Jeffcoat the dline had lotsa pressure...caused Arbuckle to throw early on may instances resulting in bad throws...and some drops....the pick at the end..sure receiver had his mitts on it but pass was high and behind him and he had to contort back to get it, hence the tip drill...and that was due to pressure Also I think it's time for Hecht to have a seat and we use Jones...or Wright...I'd even like to see Exume there as he closes fast..hits hard and has a motor that doesn't stop. Hecht has wiffed too many tackles lately and is a step too slow for the blitz packages they use him in...he is good rotating in and in certain sets, but I think his majority of reps at safety now is hurting us somewhat. All in all...things still to fix, but what team doesn't have tings to fix, and we are still in first, and as long as we don't pull another T.O game should stay there after next week too...7-2 at the midway point isn't that bad...warts and all

If he pulls out a Masterpiece he can become Matty Dry Ice

so maybe he will throw us all a curve and try to outsmart everyone and come out of the gate with the dogs unleashed and go high octane..hahhahaa...dare to dream

Then that's a really dumb DC considering we are second in offensive points scored to Ham (199-197) and first in offensive TD's by 2 over next best team as well as employ the leagues best ground game with most yards...and most avg yards per rush attempt...just saying I'd be hoping if I was the CGY DC that Lapo continues his trend of trying to outsmart the world and continue his trend of going away from what had been working and more or less making downfield strikes and misdirection and multiple player run plays dissapear from the offence...pretty much what has been a big reason for the last 2 losses

exactly...you have to assess this regime on their contribution...not their predecessors...first 2 years were total wash/rebuild ones...the last 3 we are the second winningest team in the CFL...same as this year being top (for now)...let what has finally been built and established grow and continue...to pull a redo...cause its 29 years and counting is plain suicide...i look at it as year 4 and counting now...and we seem to be on right track

Well they were razor thin on depth and talent to start...so yeah shall see how they adapt..Shaq Evans too could be out...Too bad for Montreal that Standback is out..even with an intact Dline I doubt they would have been ab le to handle him

Pretty much a game plan any team would employ against any other team...just replace players names

Lol..used to sit on east but much rather not have sun beat down on me. My corporate seats are on east side but I usually pawn them off..
