Is kind of add as we had him around prior to Biggie going out, and Termple fared well...and if they weren't high on him then why have Warren sitting on PR?....WEIRD... Possibly Biggie has been knicked since TC hence him being not his dominant self, so they held on to an extra Import linebacker as insurance, but then again why didn't they play Warren instead of Temple? Or maybe Kongbo is ready to come on the roster in Lieu of a linebacker as a DI....And if that is the case I hope we use that spot with Bailey to give him some reps...or Walker

times are changing now where teams are going to be...or some have been offering different/lower price points for tickets and concessions...you have to Before, going to the game was the basic only way to cheer for your team as it happened, and slowly with cable..then premium channels...lifting of black-outs and now online streaming..pirated feeds...super advanced tv's....you have to adjust. Teams now have to promote and focus on reclaiming the young generation and family's and should start doing joint promotions and events that will help draw the casual/curious fan in..and hook em

Hecht was a ear hole by enemy fire on the tackle...and just the fact he was bouncing around on the sidelines..doing high knee jumps and **** to stay loose tells me he is fine...if he was concussed he wouldnt be doing that...

cant wait for them to incorporate some quick hitting slants over the middle with him just inside the second level...if there is only one guy trailing him and we flush out the zone with motion out of the back field and receivers running deep routes he gets that ball in space....good bye

Two of the TD's were miscommunication/missed assignments by the Bombers..is this fixable...certainly and better to flesh out the growing pains and oopsies now...and up to this point it hasn't cost us in the win column so that is a bonus as well. That TD to Amanti Edwards...truly believe if Hecht was in there he would have blown up the play or at the least made the Tackle (can't believe I am defending Hecht but he has impressed and played lights out) as Jones I think effed up from not playing with live bullets often enough and didnt react like he should...he took a weird route to the play, almost like he was trying to stay out of Alexander's way....but regardless i know in post game film study and coaching they will have him coached up to that being a one time thing and learning experience

If B.C gets themselves another legit receiver and either benches Carter to start a fire under his arse or replaces him too then I think a pissed off Reilly can actually drag that team to a couple of wins..just due to him alone weak o-line be damned When they have actually used John White they have looked not too bad, and if they had even one compliment to Burnham and Durant could actually start piling up yards...and some wins...as it sits now nobody is getting open often and early and they play from behind negating their run game, so defenses are just pinning their ears back and teeing off..sooner or later, and I think it happens this weekend Reilly is gonna start to say eff it and not hang in their waiting and use his running...that alone will open things up for him and I truly think this week against Sask they are gonna have a break out game Riders will be flat out of the bye, as I have little faith that coaching staff will have them prepared..could still be without Marshall on the corner and really that defense hasn't really done much to induce optimism I bet Bc comes out with a vengeance and Reilly will play like an inspired Reilly can as I am sure he is sick of how things have went...and the wild card is Carter...is he going to come out with something to prove and stick it to Rider Nation..will this be a motivator for him to do something finally?..I'm thinking so and if the Lions ambush em and jump out early with a couple score lead...could see the wheels really falling off the Riders

It's a team game and a team win..or loss..in the 2 playoffs before last yr Nichols played great. Well over 300 yards passing....30+ points scored...2 straight losses..last year in WSF a similar statline to this year (minus the 3+ TD's) as we played ultra conservative and took a shot when it was there and leaned on the dominant run which you do in cold weather playoff games and we won...WF was just a flat crappy performance all around and air blame Lapo on that But anyway Nichols has performed in the playoffs for us well..more than well enough to win 3 games not just the 1 and who knows what the results would have been if they won those 2 other games. Also of note if Oshea didnt elect to try that impossible field goal and let his offence get a few more yards..which they showed they could of that game we win that too. This team was let down 3 times in playoffs before by the leaky defense...this year is looking to be not like that and if these guys get better and avoid injury as year goes on..this offence with the weapons..the quick strike ability and the beat u up run game just has to do what it's doing.. manage the game..dont cough up the ball and take the shots when they are there..i wouldn't change a thing other than not be so passive when up by a few scores

If that's a game manager along with a 4-0 record un the process gimme a game manager evry day then..when u look ar vcd the big numbers some G of these guys have put up..andnthen see their teams record..makes you kinda glad we have a game manager...no?

On the one in the north end zone the miscommunication/misread was on the corner being not in his zone..Jones was over top help and hustled to try and get there. Not sure if halfback or corner was on wrong page but someone was. Jones made first key stop on the 3 goaline attempts and also several other nice reads/tackles... No real glaring errors...is interesting to hear tho Benevudes liking Hechts play and saying he is an upgrade over Loffler whom he said made way too many errors/screw ups at safety

Yeah on the 3rd attempt at the goaline he was pretty key..and also showed good nose for ball

Harrick is fine..he was kept out solely cause game was well in hand and to give Desjarlais needed reps...all is good Same with Hecht..he'll be playing as well Briggs i doubt but we now have Dondre Wright to slide into the lineup so we will be fine..we dont need Briggs anyway for ratio requirements and Temple did fine filling in for him and with more reps would get better as well but I would assume Biggie is back next week anyway so a non issue

Montreal has a lot of talent there..so not a shock they are putting it together now that they have a coaching staff that's capable. As much as a putz Kavis is he has actually assembled a decent squad..

Briggs was in a sling..I sit right over looking bench..Hecht stayed in full uniform and was doing stuff to stay loose all game..

Bell rung...not sure if he failed protocol but didnt look like it from what he was doing on sideline..I think they just being cautious

Is he not signed to a standard 2 yr?

Lapo has Nichols playing smart and utilizing the run game. He takes shots when they are there and the defense tends to cheat a bit and focus on Harris..and when not taking a shot plays safe..controls the game without giving the ball away and wait for the next shot...obviously until teams defend differently we will keep doing it...and last 2+ yrs show we can pretty much avg 30 points a game.. (as a team effort) playing this way. Also I bet we lead or are up at top of league in big explosion plays and Nichols has prob now thrown 3 or 4 deep shots to receivers in stride for scores to put to bed this notion he has no deep ball. Also the tangent some go off on with some big plays being result of receiver grabbing a short pass and doing rest himself is also wrong as those plays are a result of the other guys on offence doing their parts unselfishly for the play to succeed...its been plays executed to perfection...not some fluke

yeah...several figured that...I had no concerns really with oline...thought there might be some bumps with learning curve a bit...but that seems to be very very minor Having the bookends we do helps a lot, and the fact the 3 new guys were all here from 1-3 yrs prior to this year was huge too with 2 of the 3 being first round talents....and we still have 2 other first round talents being groomed as well as Neufeld on the 6 game...we are in a good spot depth and talent wise to sustain O-line dominance for quite a few years right now Even though Bryant just turned 33 this year, and Hardrick 29 we are good there too..Bryant shows no sign of decline at all and I bet has a good 2 years after this year...same with Yoshi

250k actually...that line is something awful

I try not to remember the Tim Burke era...dark dark times

Andrew Harris

Yeah those penalties by him are fine by me as long as its not happening over and over...Hardrick rarely takes penalties of any kind never mind the stupid selfish type...he was just letting Ottawa know that there would be no more of the cheap crap they are prone to attempt

Two best tackles in the league if you ask me and not just saying that cause their Bombers

Yeah the look on Reilly's face said it all too on the second one..was the look of not going to him again and please get him outta my offence

Yeah I think that may become a trend...our dline takes up so much attention and makes plays that it allows our linebackers easy access to cleaning up...teams may try to establish the run...but ifbit appears to be a no go..they will abandon it Another thing which is helping is Wilson is ultra quick in getting to the play and recognizing things.. so even if he isnt making the primary or initial tackle he is influencing where play ends up going much like Jeffersons presence on the dline....Wilson is much faster reacting and getting to the ball carrier than JSK was
