Jpan85 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Posted October 10, 2016 For the first time in 5 years. Exciting time to see how the seeding will play out. Noeller, wbbfan, Rod Black and 2 others 5
Floyd Posted October 10, 2016 Report Posted October 10, 2016 Willy finally got us to the playoffs. FrostyWinnipeg, TBURGESS, Dee Urban Hermit and 23 others 26
rebusrankin Posted October 10, 2016 Report Posted October 10, 2016 Its a little sad to be celebrating a playoff birth but after five long years, party time.
kelownabomberfan Posted October 10, 2016 Report Posted October 10, 2016 The Bombers should all head for their dressing room with ski goggles and spray each other with champagne (it's the CFL so Baby Duck sparkling wine will have to do). Apparently that's the new norm for making the playoffs. It worked for the Blue Jays! Dr. Blue 1
iso_55 Posted October 10, 2016 Report Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) We'd never have got there with Willy starting. The Willy backers here can argue otherwise but no way. Nichols doesn't put up stunning numbers like Reilly or BLM but he's steady, efficient, understands LaPo's offense, makes quicker reads & has a quick release thereby avoiding being sacked. Willy holds onto the ball too long trying to make decisions where to throw & panics when the pocket collapses. We saw that all game long today.

But all the so called "intelligent" posters here swore up and down that our oline was the problem and that Willy was far superior to Nichols. Quite frankly, Willy has looked horrid from the very first snap this pre season, and I'm someone who thought he was Ricky Ray lite in 2015.

That play would have made Jason Boltus proud. It was a pass but similar to a lateral. The ball was live. Willy panicked. Good thing a surprised Whitaker fell on it. Edited October 11, 2016 by iso_55
FrostyWinnipeg Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 Just like Bipole 3 I think the best route is down the east side. basslicker 1

Good thing they fixed the OL by putting in 3 americans finally right? Cause you're fooling yourself if you think that hasn't changed the complexion of the team immensely.

I know how much people love this argument, but he was signed to a big contract and started five games this year - decisions made by professional "intelligent" football people Fatty Liver, Rod Black and Logan007 3

Fred C Dobbs Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 This is the attitude that I love to see from our QB:
do or die Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 Making playoffs: season is already a qualified success. The gravy would be a home playoff game and a trip to the West final for a 1 game shot... IC Khari 1
IC Khari Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 As the Blue Jays have already proved, it's not how you get there mostly, but that you get there (meaning playoffs). Ask the Red Sox and Rangers how they feel about their tremendous regular seasons right now ;). I'm excited about this team's chances and I think they will tighten up their defensive issues moving forward. Floyd and bearpants 2
Stickem Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 Finally....geez it's been so long I forgot the feeling...Now to make something of it...Start by hanging another one on the leos this week.

Nah, that tweet was already in my ICYMI review. When I saw your post, I remembered seeing that exact thought...from Randy Turner. So, I thought, what a coincidence eh? SPuDS and IC Khari 2
Mark F Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 Interesting that in the game the other day, Davis was still ahead of Glenn. Glenn's been here two weeks or so. Makes me think Davis is going to be good. IC Khari 1
IC Khari Posted October 11, 2016 Report Posted October 11, 2016 Glenn is this season's life insurance (sure he's term and not whole life ), and like all life insurance, the insuree hopes they don't have to use it ...
