couple things, for me..... 1) Not sure BC is a tire fire, despite their record. They've showed some good things, and with Reilly (even on a bum leg) there is ALWAYS a shot and they're always in t

I'm excited for this one. My son and I are doing the "Benchwarmer" sideline experience this week. Should be fun. And what glorious weather!

If that happened, I would avoid MBB at all costs.

I really would get Kevin Glenn back as our 3rd string if Nichols is out...  he can finally win a cup with the Bombers

If Nichols is hurt and u need the Vet insurance and he agrees... Id do it.

Jesus christ.... bring in another qb... this coaching staff believes in streveler AND they believed in McGuire enough to cut Bennett. They aren't going to bring in other teams reject QBs.

You don't carry less then 3 QBs especially only one with any CFL reps. Hense if he hits the IR.

i feel we lost momentum when the coaches decided to pull Nichols and put Strevler in.  Timing was strange. 

I completely agree, even said so at the time here... I am all for Streveler getting reps, but not when our QB1 is actually having himself a nice little run against the Lions... you don't yank him out and let him get 'cold' sitting on the sideline, especially that early in a game and only up by 7...

Lapo really makes me wonder what the heck is going on in his world with the stuff that he does... Matty was actually earning his Matt Dimes nickname in the 1st, lol...

If Nichols is six-gamed, I think they need to bring in a third QB.

Stop blaming LaPo for the play calling....   Nichols was running plays that were mid to deep and just froze in the pocket.     After he tossed his interception (not his fault at all)  it was like a switch and he shut off and could not make quick decisions at all.   

Our offense was fantastic (despite the play of Nichols after his int)  

We had great pass protection,  great holes for Harris to run.  

The receivers I didn't see make any drops or miscues. 

Harris  was beast mode YET again and dragged guys for so many tough yards.

Whitehead with the 2nd and 19 screen that he willed his way into the first down.  

Matthews was great when passed to (1st quarter). 

The only blemishes from the O this game was the terrible penalty from Desjarlais,  and the several unnecessary sacks and general play of Nichols after his pick.

Don't know how you can say don't blame LaPo when his decision to take out Nichols resulted in an interception that changed the momentum of the game. You can say what you want about Nichols in the pocket but that was as dumb a coaching decision as I've ever seen. He deliberately took his foot off the gas. Anyone who says that LaPo didn't negatively influence the game with his coaching decisions is wrong.

Offense was mediocre again.  275 net yards and only 17 first downs versus a terrible defense.  Nichols did not play well after the INT.  I'm not sure why everyone is blaming Lapo.  The team won yet again on the strength of the defense and special teams.

Believe he did couldn't see him on the side lines 

Yes, Nichels went straight to the sidelines and didn't even go to the trainers table. He turned immediately and headed to the locker room.

I missed what happened to Roh. Just saw the tweet at halftime that he was not returning. Did he get hurt on a play? Did they talk about it during the broadcast?

Hiw bad could the offense really be if medlock didn't have to punt until sometime in the 4th quarter? 

That game was a blowout except for a couple dummy mistakes. Wolitarsky volleys up a freebie for the lions and streveler gets the ball tipped up at the line. Couple brain farts that gave BC everything.

Sorry, what exactly is good about those three second half drives? One was for -4 yards, one was for 8 and the TD drive was a short field thanks to the Willie INT. Even then, it was one nice throw by Nichols, not exactly sustained success.

He basically got 4 more points than what was automatic. 13 of a possible 21 on short fields. Not great.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think Nichols is terrible. I just don’t think he is good.

Great evening last night.... son showed up with his family at the new house to visit yesterday so the game is a bit fuzzy this morning.   I'm thinking matt had something wrong with him when they put big Chris in..... something probably minor but they were being cautious.  Matt goes back in his play isn't as good... eventually he can't escape the hit from behind and ultimately can't take the punishment.  Also watching them tape harris' ankle up more later in the game is not a good sign..... the pounding is taking its toll on him...

Nope, Matt was fine. He was standing on the sidelines right next to the play, waiting to go in. I think they were going to go to him after the first play but the second was a short-yardage play where Streveler would be in anyhow. He got the first down, so he got to stay in.

Good I hope he is okay.  The other theory we came up with last night for putting big Chris when they did was to appease the lady fans...hopefully create a buzz An sell more tickets.  There were some sad shots of the stands last night during the game... more empty seats shown than what I liked.

Nope. And, yes, we need more than 25k fans at the stadium. When are you coming?

Nichols dropped back 7 times and ran it once for a one yard touchdown over that stretch of the game. He was 4/4 for 55 yards but got sacked three times, the last one being the fumble and the end of his night.

It was funny night last night. After first quarter Bombers had the ball for three possessions in second quarter, Streveler Pick, drove for a FG attempt then was the kneel down. Second half they did not get ball deep in there own territory at all.
