  • You know, watching this game makes me wonder...   ...WHY DID I PICK OTTAWA TO WIN!?!?!?!!

  • They are comparing Chamblin to Greg Marshall now.  It's awesome.  Full scale meltdown.

bombers should beat eskimos without reilly?

 

nichols played very well didn't he? the int to the lineman, someone said was partly a missed block. I thought their offence looked better with Nichols. He makes quicker decisions, thus doesn't get hammered like reilly. same o line, less pressure. 

 

 

edmonton thrashed the bombers last season. they don't miss their starting running back. their backup quarterback is very good. their defence is

 

very good.

I wouldn't say Nichols is very good. He's productive, but he's also prone to a ton of mistakes. Very clumsy with the football. Look at the pick 6, look at the fumble where he basically Jameis Winston'd the ball to the defender.

 

Nichols puts up good numbers, but there's a reason that is his first ever CFL win.

Esks look to be back in business. I can see them going far this season.

 

I had them as my pre-season pick to win the West this year - someone had to not pick the Stamps.  Doubt they can do that without Reilly, but their defence is probably good enough to keep them in playoff contention.  If Nichols can minimize his mistakes and be a game manager QB, they might still get a sniff at a home playoff game.

What a yawner.  Ottawa came out, moved the ball crisply, hit the upright on the FG try.  Got the ball back and Hank threw a stupid ball while going down for a pick 6 and the game was essentially all Edmonton after that.  It sure looks like pressure on the QB is the way to win under the new rules.  I'm not going to pick Ottawa to win next week.

Al Bradbury makes me sick. Amazing what his crew looks for as far as OC calls go, but they can't call a head shot on a QB?

You do know that they don't have crews any more? Different group calling this game than the Bomber game.

Not disagreeing that he missed the head shot, the league has admitted as much, but can't blame it on the "crew" as they change each game.

I watched the game and saw Burris and his receivers both look horrendous.

Ottawa looked completely undisciplined with dumb ill timed penalties.

Nichols as Mike said was very clumsy with the ball. Lawrence and the receivers did quite well once they had the ball in there hands.

Edmonton definitely is beatable and Ottawa looked god awful.
