Then why are you even here?

You mean stupid? Too many nerds talking about sportsball on that site.

Even without a Grey Cup I wouldn't be firing these guys. They have built a team that top players want to play for, they have built a system where our top players are in demand from other teams.... Why are we in a hurry to blow that up just because they haven't hit the jackpot with a cup yet? Stability matters when the group in charge is doing more good than bad. You fire people when it's actively hurting the long term prospects of the team, but these guys are building a hell of a strong foundation here, one that we haven't seen since the 90s.

So maybe this is Trump being brilliant after all, by being the most corrupt president in history he is exposing just how rotten the system is in the States and it will in fact lead to a draining of the swamp....

Don't look at me. I desperately want to make that argument but it can't be done, and as you know, I can't argue a losing point.

Get your head out of your ass with stupid suggestions like that, he was obviously playing DE.

They are nothing if not self serving. Trump is just a figurehead. He becomes too toxic they dump him overboard.

That's just it, vets don't need as much practise time early on.

I am not sure the Senate would give Trump a pass... they would turn on him to save themselves no doubt. Claim he was a Democrat before he was a Republican so he bamboozled them all.

Not all heroes wear capes.

You forgetting how often dressler was deep?

Aside from Goossen, Taylor Loffler was the biggest loss Winnipeg underwent in the off-season. LOL. can't take it seriously when Loffler is a bigger loss than Chung.

So you want to just chuck it up and let the big dudes win balls eh? Not the worst plan.

someone tell him to knock that off in practise, don't need him getting into Nichols head already.

that being said, we said going into the game don't turn the ball over the riders can't beat you, and that was the focus. At no point did I ever really feel like the Riders were going to actually win that game with their offense.

The counter point would be Streveler being 1-3 as the starter and Davis 0-1. Yeah small sample sizes and backups and all that, but part of the winning is Nichols doing no question.

That was Tim Burkes doing. Guy had some of the worst Bomber games ever under his watch. Team did not play for him.

and if Streveler hadn't had the familiarity with the "backup" receivers Lapo might still have ignored the guy totally.

And probably throughout the year too.

So you think me using the coaches instead of our coaches changes the meaning of your post.? Cause it doesn't. I think perhaps your fingers and your brain might have a disconnect. It happens but you wrote what you wrote.

you said multiple things, one of which is that the coaches give veterans the benefit of the doubt... How is this too complicated for you? You don't want people to comment on what you say then choose your words more carefully. Nichols gets the benefit of the doubt and more rope precisely because of his past performance. That's not a bad thing either. He has demonstrated a higher level of play, he gets the chance to elevate his game to that level. Not like Streveler didn't see any action at times last year in relief. You can't run a roster by yanking guys at the first sign of trouble. How is that supposed to allow anyone to work their way out of their funk and not destroy their confidence? But I guess that's your mentality right? Perfection or GTFO?

He he has the crap kicked out of him physically. It takes a toll on everyone. Seen it a million times it feels like over the years here.

What you said was coaches give vets the benefit of the doubt. I am pointing out that the reason Nichols gets lots of rope is because he earned it.

If the game is won in the trenches then I love the way they have built this roster.
