OT: 2018 Winnipeg Blue Bombers (10-7) NEXT @ EDM (8-9) November 3 (CLINCHED PLAYOFFS)

Btw; If you see a dude in a bright orange von Miller Denver Broncos jersey say hi!

Holy cow is the Nichols defense force out in full on both radio stations.

He played poorly last game. It's ok to say that.

Seems to be a narrative that TSN is pushing, Rod Black and Duane Ford started off the broadcast talking about the criticism of Nichols. Brought up his record and the Bombers record and basically tried to explain it away by saying that the run game being as strong as it is takes away from Nichols' success as a QB.
They said when it was brought up to Nichols he was dismissive about it, they made it sound like he was confused about the criticism.

For most of last week's game he was below 50% completion, and he didn't connect on any of his passes beyond 20 yards despite having wide open receivers the passes just weren't accurate. The defense of Nichols over last week's play is confusing, he needs to be better than that.

Geez dat was a nice throw and catch

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Under throw by Nichols, amazing focus and adjustment by Adams. He legitimately might be the best receiver in the league.

Yeah I really like Adams as a receiver. It's good to see him get another big catch.

 

[Board Bard]

He has been quite mediocre all season thus far. Those who tout his record and stats need to take a look at the weakness of the competition he's faced.

I've listened to those bozos quite a lot lately because I'm incapable of learning, and I can't say they've been touting Nichols' stats much. A couple will even pinch their nose when discussing them. Then they dismiss them and trot out the team-record idea. The team is winning so the qb must be excellent. And then, "Um, let's talk about eating now."

 

[Holden Caulfield]

CFL clearly wants Ottawa to stay in it. What a complete bs review.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

I'm really frustrated with the CFL/CFLPA/Johnny Manziel for what happened to him last week.

There is no way he should have gone back into that game, and that was obvious from just looking at the hit.

There was some talk that his bipolar disorder meds can mimic or mask the concussion effects, but I’m calling BS on that.

He went full fetal position after that hit, it looked obvious to me that he should have gone through protocol.

 

[ThinIce61]

Calling it now. Bombers gonna lose this one.

Apparently he went through and passed.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Anyways, reports of the bombers being good on d were a tad premature.

 

[ThinIce61]

As many god damned penalties as points.

 

[ThinIce61]

A certain DC needs to lose his job tonight.

 

[None]

Anderson and Randle are getting abused so far in the first half.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Anderson and Randle are getting abused so far in the first half.

The entire secondary has been awful

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Lol Nichols has missed two wide open deep balls so far in this game.

 

[Whileee]

Bombers with the second best QB in the game. Not a good look...

 

[bustamente]

Db's have been looking at the Ottawa receivers name bars all first half

 

[ThinIce61]

Well I'm done watching. Defense is a joke.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Sitting in the stands has taught me bomber fans have no idea what the rules are

 

[Hank Chinaski]

This is the Nichols that Edmonton basically gave away. Tentative, slow and inaccurate on anything beyond 10 yards.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

The interesting thing is the bomber d-line has gotten decent pressure

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Harris is good.

I mean all three of them

 

[Hank Chinaski]

The interesting thing is the bomber d-line has gotten decent pressure

DLine and Adams are the only reason this is still (barely) a contest.

Horrible tackling and zero execution from the offense. I doubt the RedBlacks offense will keep this up, but the Bombers offense is gaining zero traction. Run game is an afterthought at this point, it’s Nichols spray (the ball all over the field) and pray time.

 

[JetBrett]

Wonder if the media will be defending Nichols all week again this week. He's pretty good when he's on but I'm not sure he's been "on" since he returned.

Defense looking like the old Richie Hall "D" has returned. If this is an indication of what the better teams can do against it it won't be pretty next week in Calgary.
