Adams wasn't stellar his first while as a Bomber... have some patience. So you're saying Davis has no arm!? Sure isn't what I've seen. Accuracy needs work, but he's got the best arm in our stable as far as power goes! Interesting - I haven't noticed a rocket arm on him either - maybe he's just tentative and it will come but he's no brandon bridge for sure

They suddenly forgot how to run routes and started dropping passes? If it's a dropped pass that means the player should have caught it but didnt. Passes that arent anywhere near the players aren't dropped. Its really not that hard to distinguish the two. "Give me break!!!" And i dont know who you have been watching all year but washington denmark and lankford all have been guilty of running some questionable routes this year. Which is admittedly odd for denmark. But I've paid close attention to him the last few home games and something isnt right.

It's no secret that Dressler & Harris are Nichols favourite targets, and rarely goes elsewhere (post Adams injury)

I also think he's a better kick returner than Givens, but won't admit it publicly. I agree on Lankford > Washington, but I don't think the sample size on Givens is large enough yet to make that comparison (only 9 fielded thus far, compared to Lankford's 50). And their average KOR yardage is within 5 yards. Washington seems like a bit of a project, so I wouldn't write him off just yet. However, for the WSF, I'd put Lankford back in over Washington, simply for the versatility he provides.

Point is you are blaming the receivers virtually all of them and I am telling you that it is on the QB as we haven't had one performing even close to Nichols in the last couple of weeks. Sure a receiver has a dropped ball now and then, but that happens to virtually all receivers in all games. Much easier for them to do that than forget how to run a route.

Tentative is the right word. He did not want to make a mistake, and he didn't make a mistake. He also didn't make a lot of plays. He removed the risk and lost the reward as a result. That is why I wish they would have given him a full week of practise as the #1, and the start in Calgary. He has the best arm of our three QBs. I've seen it in camp.

In the first game he came in for Nichols, he had a deep ball he thru and he gunned it.. I think it may have even been a throw-away but it had velocity and range.. I thought it was going upper deck.

Actually lankford flat out admitted he ran some shitty routes. And when you have multiple rec. In the same area thats also bad route running. When other rec. Drop a ball they can be let off ie Dressler/adams cause they actually produce. The rec.(the 3 i mentioned, which isnt all of them) Im talking about have all dropped passes that hit them in the numbers and gone on to do **** all. And the majority of the time its been Nichols throwing to them. This isnt a new problem. And i dont care what you're telling me. If the receivers arent catching, or getting open the issue isnt ONLY the qb.

If you don't care what I am telling you...that simply means you think you are 100 percent correct, not willing to see other possibilities. No sense continuing because you are a 100 percenter!

While he may be another Jennings, I think leading the league in dropped interceptions makes him another Cato*. *My math from last season ((interceptions + dropped interceptions) / pass attempts) was that 1 in every 14 pass attempts by Cato was or should have been intercepted. No one else considered a starter was anywhere close to being that bad.

Duron Carter bite his tongue?

It's no secret that Dressler & Harris are Nichols favourite targets, and rarely goes elsewhere (post Adams injury) I think Denmark's stretch of red-zone awesomeness was a direct result of Dressler being injured or struggling... below are the games that Denmark caught a TD pass in, as well as Dressler's receiving #'s for that same game: Game (TDs for Denmark) --- Dressler's #'s that game Jul-21 Vs. B.C. Lions (1) --- 2 catches for 9 yards Jul-27 - Vs. Montreal (1) --- 2 catches for 24 yards Aug-12 Vs. Hamilton (1) --- Dressler registered no catches Aug-24 Vs. Montreal (2) ---Dressler registered no catches Sep-9 Vs. 'Riders (2) ---3 catches for 56 yards

November 10, 20177 yr comment_303488 @sweep the leg Edited November 10, 20177 yr by Goalie Indeed. That is it.
November 10, 20177 yr comment_303565 Bob Irving @BobIrvingCJOB NO Matt Nichols on Bomber practice field!!??? Resting, relapse? The intrigue continues. I still expect him to play Sunday. This has gone well past strategic announcements and gamesmanship, Nichols is going to be worth half a Nichol if he plays at all on Sun.
November 10, 20177 yr comment_303569 Still say he doesn't play. Might be a sunny day in Sunday, but prepare for Lefevour rainbows.
November 10, 20177 yr comment_303571 If Le Fevour goes all the way......Rum Hut will be full to bursting.
November 10, 20177 yr comment_303572 Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 24m24 minutes ago Matt Nichols is M.I.A. from #Bombers practice today. He very well may have practiced earlier today, as the team shortened their practice window by 20 minutes earlier this morning.
November 10, 20177 yr comment_303573 Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 2m2 minutes ago Matt Nichols enters the practice field just now in street clothes, and shakes hands and embraces with teammates. Interesting moment, however you slice it. #Bombers Edited November 10, 20177 yr by BomberBall
