White Out

Our defence has to show up and actually not break, if they want to keep bending. Reilly in Edmonton with our D will likely keep me up on Friday. We can't afford our super sawft D to give up 500 yards.

We're going to finish 2nd and Calgary 1st and it will come down to us doing our job at home and seeing how Calgary plays in the West final. They're really good but this is a year they can be had I think. BLM is garbage for his usual self, which still makes him good but he's not at the elite level he was last season. I guess we could catch them and finish first but it seems unlikely to me, really unlikely.

Fire Hall in the offseason and hire Thorpe.

Haven't you heard? We deploy our MLB like some 300 pound nose tackle. He's there to absorb blocks. You know, like a useless sponge.

Nichols was all sorts of struggling and off in the first half. He was precise and lethal in the 2nd. He and Leggett are my stars of the game

Us. Naturally TSN has made it invisible now.

Your alone on this one man. Sorry.

ya well you can't really talk past the fact we have the 2nd worst D in the league. Behind only the TiCats, a trainwreck the CFL hasn't witnessed in years. Our D stinks, the way we deploy Hurl stinks and Hurl himself stinks. Don`t give yourself an aneurysm defending a very mediocre player.

You're a really bad troll.

Before what gets out of hand? Nichols MOP-esque season?? The guys 17-6 as a Bomber starter since taking over from Willy last July, and you want to start seeing what Davis can do? Do you not realize how bad an opinion this is?

Even there you're subtly suggesting both are a problem, the o and Nichols and the D. Let me blunt about this, this team has one glaring issue: too many points scored. Our d is what stands between us and a championship.

You think Nichols should be going into games with a short leash? That's a remarkably bad opinion. Even for the internet. Congratulations.

And as of this writing no team has allowed more points against than us. Do you want to have a fancy record or do you want to win a championship? You don't win a championship with this D.

Some folks are just desperate, and I mean desperate, to "out" Nichols as a mediocre QB. Nm the fact we now have the highest scoring O in the league and statistically worst D in the league. It's Nichols and the O's fault! I sometimes wonder if Tom Brady played here how many people would want to see the backup. No team has scored more than us, and no team has allowed more points than us. But please, let us keep deliberating what the issue here is. Holy. ****, Cmon Bomber fans, I expect better from a fanbase like ours. We should be more tuned in to the blatantly obvious on the field in front of us

We're one of, if not the highest scoring team in the league. nice try tho.

What does Hall think is the best case scenario week to week? Hope for the O to sore 30+ points every game? Bend don't break only works if you dont surrender 40 points on a near weekly basis, We're giving up 32 points a game on average. That's not how you win a Grey Cup, and that's all that matters to me right now.

This is probably the softest D I've watched in decades a Bomber fan. I'm flummoxed. Owsh Walters and Hall (edit woops thats a bit embarrassing) had the off season to try and plug holes but it looks like it's the same old same old: not enough consistent pressure and incredibly soft coverage. It's just infuriating. So what are some immediate things the coaches can do to try and make this D, arguably as bad or maybe worse than Hamilton's, closer to middle of the pack?

Can't wait for tomorrow. Going to grill some steaks with my Rider friend and hopefully watch the Bombers destroy the filthy Riders. We've turned a corner as franchise; these are games we should expect to win.

Fully expecting a win. Nichols is a different breed of QB than what were used to. He's a big gamer, a winner. He wont throw heart wrenching picks late in the game like Willy did in the Banjo Bowl. We're the better team, **** Regina. Go Bombers.

That's a real **** opinion if you ask me. hah! Jokes.

If there's no other reason to like Nichols, the fact he is 4-0 against the Riders is plenty for me

Why do I hate the Riders? Is it because of their puke green ugly jerseys? No. Is it because they play in a **** hole province? Not really. I don't have to go there. Is it because they've won 4 cups in 100 years? No that's hilarious. Is it because their team name is also the name of a popular brand of condom? Also funny. I hate them because since the mid 2000's when that loser franchise had a small taste of success their obnoxious, beer swilling, toothless, cousin *******, uneducated, sweat pants with good shoes wearing, racist, inbred, penis breath fans became the most insufferable brand of malcontents in the sporting world. They make Raider fans look classy and put together. This team has just come off 2 horrible years with a handful of wins between both seasons, and has now JUST pulled themselves to a .500 record. And yet look at all the beaking their fans are doing. It's incredible. It's actually astonishing how tone deaf they can be, and the lack of self awareness is so pervasive. The Bombers are 17-5 since Nichols took over last summer and most fans including myself are still very cautious and careful not to count chickens before they hatch. Yet these mongrels are breaking their necks to start erecting Chris Jones statues in that outhouse of a city called Regina. I hope the Bombers beat the Riders by 400 points and Chris Jones rides off on his ******* motercycle during the 3 minute warning back to Tennessee and settles in a nice little cottage on ol' Rocky Top. What a prick. Him and his garbage fans deserve each other.

Lol Nichols could win a grey cup and be grey cup MVP and still people would find flaws. Sports!

... I put his name first?..

Another brilliant performance. Reilly, BLM, Nichols. Those are the leagues best.
