White Out

Oh good. A qb controversy for some reason.

The debate will be finally solved. Willy will be given a chance to start in Toronto and I predict mediocre results.

So long mr willy. It was a slice.

And this is th flaw in your argument. He is doing things better, and differently. He's engineering scoring drives when we need them. He's not turning the ball over. And he's making faster reads which means teams can't just blitz over and over again without consequences. You're just wrong.

We don't have a Mike Reilly or Bo Levi Mitchell. We have a game managing qb who makes very few mistakes and can engineer drives when needed. It will have to do because that's what we have. Behind him we have a qb who's lost all confidence in his game and can't make quick decisions. And is error prone. I'd love to have our d give up the least yards and most take away. Heck while I'm at it let's add ray lewis circa 2000. This is the team we have and MOS and our coordinators have found a winning strategy. Let's enjoy it.

I dont think you'll find me anywhere claim Nichols is carrying this team. Our d and special teams are driving the bus. So we agree there too. But Nichols has been far superior to Willy.

The feeling is mutual. Solid post though. 10/10 for adding new discussion points and advancing the thread with personal attacks.

2014 drew willy threw 16 interceptions to his 14 touchdowns. Try again.

This win streak must be just a nightmare for you. Thoughts and prayers.

He had 5 good games 2 years ago. Honestly. So what? Let's go find Casey Printers I guess?

1 interception in 6 games, 71% completion ratio, and undefeated. If that's not consistent then you simply have an agenda and don't care to hide it. Why can't you be happy with 6 wins in a row? Sweeping the Riders? (who by the way took Calgary to the ropes both games they played them just before us). Honest to god. It's one thing to have your team losing and hope they get spanked to effect change you think will help your team. But this may be the first time I've ever seen fans of a winning team want the wheels to fall off to effect change they want and perceive will make us "elite".

Disagree completley. Nichols engineered scoring drives and also had at least 5 drops yesterday from his receivers. No idea where your getting 3 dropped interceptions from. He's thrown 1 interception this season. Is that luck too? I've never seen a fan base with so many people calling for the head of a 6-0 QB with a 71% completion, 7 to 1 TD to int ratio.. It's baffling. Absolutely incredible.

Who's doing that? " Willy did himself no favours and is absolutely as much to blame for him getting knocked around as our line. " Go ahead. Read what I wrote for yourself. I realize that you have your dander up but take it down a notch. If you put Willy in the Bombers scheme right now there's no reason to think he'd suddenly start reading D's better. Does improved O line play mean he won't lock on to his 1st read for way too long? Get caught like a deer in headlights under pressure? As far as your assertion that if it was Willy in yesterday I'd be calling for him to get out of town, I don't know how I can win that argument. You're attacking a position that not only I haven't taken, but, also suggesting that I'd want to run a QB out of town who's winning. I think you have to try and divorce what you think I feel about Willy and what I actually feel about him. Look at MOS. I hated the guy and was sick of his stupid smirking and his relentless Willy starting. At this point I'd be in complete support of extending him. Why? My opinions are malleable; results matter. I always thought Willy and MOS both were good guys who were obviously well liked (albeit I still think Willy might be a little below average IQ compared to other CFL qbs). If Willy came back in and was winning for us, I would be thrilled. I'm ok with being wrong, and it would seem that once MOS has come to the same conclusion I did, that Nichols is a better option, he's running a very solid football team. I support him fully. It's ok to be wrong and I was about MOS. I would suggest that you (and others who think Willy should get another try) reflect on your opinions and ask yourself this "do I really think Willy is a good qb or do I just not want to be wrong?" Dont take it personally, just food for thought.

The fact that you do want to go back to a qb who's 1-4 on a 7-4 team doesnt make you wrong but it does call into question your decision making.

Ya, no. If he made faster decisions and helped relieve the pressure himself that wouldn't have been the case. The biggest misunderstanding I find occurs here is people think our offensive line did this magical 180 when Nichols went in. Not so. Our new starter simply makes fast reads and dumps the ball away when there's pressure. He also takes a lot of hits but stands in the pocket and gets the ball out. Happened several times yesterday. Willy did himself no favours and is absolutely as much to blame for him getting knocked around as our line. That's the truth. He wasn't a golden boy 400k bonafide star qb so many of us do desperately wanted to believe he was. He was a mistake. To the credit of MOS he was able to identify it and move on in time to save his job and our season. I'm now firmly in support of O'Shea and will eat crow on him being a good coach at this point.

No.

Now is a great time to deal Willy to Toronto if we can get that Cody Fajardo back and some other pieces. I really like Fajardo. A lot.

eh. to blame him is quite unfair. its not his fault that there was 2 dropped TD's thrown in the last game. or harris not being able to stay in bounds. the fact were winning without producing in the end zone, to me, just means once those mistakes by the receivers are cleaned up this team will be much better for it. this isnt like when willy was the qb and he just couldnt find players.

this would be a nice game to see Nichols throw for 3 TD's and hopefully silence the critics.

had the 2 dropped balls in the endzone been caught, and, harris stayed in bounds in the 4th quarter... this was a much bigger win for us. but naturally, people will attempt to find negatives in a win. we've won 5 in a row ... and closed out taylorfields labour day history with a Bomber win. How about turning that frown upside down??

glad to hear he's ok.

agreed. we really did nearly everything we could to hand the win to the riders but still pulled it out. just in the 1st half, the dropped pick and 2 dropped touchdowns in the endzone could have made the 2nd half moot. but we won. so who cares.

what a win. fantastic. we almost gave it away with a terrible terrible special teams play but in the end the right team won

this game is literally equal importance to me as winning the Grey Cup. Just this one. I'm sick and tired of losing LDC and I want the last one at that crap hole they call a stadium.

I don't think they will implode, but, BC and Edmonton will continue to feast on the east and are very good teams. I just have a tough time picking us ahead of those teams. But ya, 7 wins after the Banjo Bowl is almost a guarantee of playoffs. Such an important week.
