Can you really look at Zach's stats and say they were not EXTREMELY similar to Nichols? The entire state line from Thursday was a Nichols special. 

we probably win that game with 2019 Matty Ice ... but with 2021 wounded Matt I have serious questions.

look at how the Ticats were stacking the box and stuffing Brady O until Collaros started hucking it deep.  without that deep passing threat, it doesn't happen for us.

Maybe but the offense was different. Buck called deep passes a number of times & Zach just gives another dimension to the offense. Once Oliveira started to gain yards Buck called more run plays as he was getting 4, 5 & 6 yards a pop & more everytime. So, Zach's passing stats were affected. Otherwise he'd have had over 300 yards.

Pre-pancaked Nichols not only wins that GC game but likely finishes more drives and we settle for less FGs. He was tearing the league a new ******* in 2019 prior to getting squashed from behind.... 

2017 Nichols wins. But I don't think post 2017 Nichols does.

2019 Nichols was already severely hobbled and his passing was suffering. Especially deep.

First week of the season and I am already super frustrated with the CFL music promotion BS. You gotta wonder how much they make to promote horrible acts and get broadcasters to talk about them.

Qft I'm done with that crap. I mute it every time. I wish they'd stop it. This isn't how you market to younger people. Here's new music you should like it cus we said so. 

The refs should crack down on Wilder this is silly. 

I hate that we've missed out on walker twice 

[Mark F]

thought the bombers tackling was good, didn't see any of the highlight reel diving tackle bs.

What about Wilder? His insistence on the crop top? Cause that makes it look pretty bush league out there. Penalize him every damn time.

The Bombers wrapped and swarmed. No good d ever has bad tackling.

At this point I think it's a question of Brady or mbt for offensive player of the week. 

 

Or Sean Whyte because he’s going to be 12/12 at this rate. 

[wbbfan]

Off that was ugly 

[Eternal optimist]

Instead of the new name being the Edmonton Elks, they should've changed it to the Edmonton Field Goals. It wouldn't even be that hard to change the second "E" to an "F"!

[wbbfan]

Don't like that call 

[Mark F]

nope bad call

[SpeedFlex27]

As far as music goes Thank GAWD they got rid of that awful halftime with bands on TNF that no one knew or cared about. That French rapper in Montreal was brutal.

We don't hate Nichols. We like him but the combination of him & LaPo together just caused consternation.

[johnzo]

I liked Crown Lands, the weird psych/noise rock duo they rolled out in Winnipeg in 2019 ... but you cannot play that kind of music in a crowded stadium, it just doesn't work.

The rest doesn't matter. Right now that guy needs plop to take care of him and sit him down till he's 100 percent. It reminds me of kharis late days.

More the ol he was sunk behind. He got hit 10 to 12 times a game every game

Why do we have to see that damned Steven Lee Olsen ad???

is there ever going to be 100% for him again? i am not a medical person but given his history it doesn't seem promising.

Ross looking good
