If coach would have put him in they'd have won state. No doubt in my mind. Might be awhile before he can get up here though. Gramma's not back from the dunes yet

Yeah.....his history doesn't scream tough though. Some of it is bad luck but he hasn't been all that durable.

If Nichols is tough then Reilly is Iron Man. Mrs Nichols would be picking out a headstone right now if Nichols sustained the same amount of abuse Reilly has this year.

Exactly. Its the chance every backup QB wants. Here is your chance to prove you can be the THE guy. This team is good enough where he doesn't have to throw the ball all over the field and put the team on his back. Just don't do dumb s*** and turn the ball over. The problem is Streveler is a gun slinger and is prone to forcing things and trying to make the big splash play when its not there. That will be Lapo and O'Shea's number 1 task, reeling in Streveler and trying to turn him into a game manager. He's a fiery guy, itll be like trying to break in a stallion. Whoaaaaa there boy, easy now, while he's snorting all over the field. Itll be interesting to see how this plays out.

No kidding. At that juncture of the game it was close, good Nichols was in the stadium, and we were deep in our zone. Why in gods green earth do you FINALLY give Streveler the ball in that scenario after gluing his hands to his hips for the first half of the season. I swear Lapolice has a split personality and the other half wants to get him fired.

I smell a loss here. I was really hoping BC won last week. They are wayyyy overdue.

Those were men. When football was played inside a rodeo arena and your opponent was a Model T.

God help us if this team ever gets down by a couple scores

Absolutely. But as a professional you need to keep that stuff to yourself and rise above it. Use it for fuel.

I don't think Glenn was mentally weak, its just that he didn't give a ****. Nichols seems much more fragile. Crying to the papers about getting booed and all.

There seems to be a chicken/egg scenario. Is it Lapo calling garbage games or is it Nichols not being able to execute? I am no fan of Lapo but I refuse to believe after all his years in the league he has become braindead and is calling a bunch of 5 yard outs on 2nd and 8. I think its Nichols being too risk adverse and wanting to get rid of the ball too early before the plays have developed/guys get open. I remember last year after one of his shitshows he threw the receivers under the bus saying no one was open all game. Like give me a break. Maybe if you would hold onto the ball for more than 2 mississippis someone could get open for **** sakes. He's like the anti-Mike Reilly. Reilly will wait until the last possible second to throw just as a 300 pounder buries him into the turf. Not saying that's a better outcome but somewhere in the middle would be a nice spot for Nichols as opposed to dumping it off cause he felt a slight breeze.

I think its the way theyve lost the games that most people are panicking about. No one would be complaining if they lost a 31-30 hard fought game against Hamilton with Masoli and Nichols trading punches. Its the fact that happy-feet hot garbage Nichols is back and the once stout defense is giving up huge yards to clowns like MBT.

It kills me to say it but it looks like those trash Rider fans have been right all along. Nichols is and always will be a ham 'n egger. No consistency, too conservative, cant/wont stretch the field, cant handle the pass rush, panics too quickly, cant go through his reads, mentally fragile. This team is going nowhere with him at the helm. Im convinced of this now.

ONE ****ing first down after the Jefferson strip/fumble recovery! ONE! And we probably win that game. A team that cant get a first down when it needs it is a pretender and will NEVER win a championship.

But but but then Nichols will be sad and say it wasn't nice for us to boo him...…..😪

Then MOS will eventually dig his own grave if he's that stubborn.

Huh?

No f'ing kidding! He was Johnny Roll-Out all game and it led to 2 TD's. And then...…..nothing since. This team is so ****ing frustrating! Its like they find something that works and then its "Well that's working great, scrap it!" Or its the opposite and they beat it to death until everyone in the stadium knows its coming.

Would it ****ing kill MOS to put Streveler in for a series or two when Nichols is shitting all over the field?? Like really?? If Nichols' ego cant take it or he's too mentally fragile to sit and watch for a few drives then its time to go sell insurance.

On pace for 450 yards against a Hamilton defence that made Nichols look like Alex Brink. Fajardo has 25 more yards at the half than Nichols threw all game.

He's been a complete non-factor the whole season. I seriously don't remember one stellar play Bighill has made this year, but ive noticed a ****-ton of missed tackles.

Ive said this before and ive noticed it with other QB's like Trevor Harris after really watching him in our 2nd game. Nichols goes to his first read, its not there, he starts getting happy feet and looks to check down to AH. Trevor Harris goes through his read. 1 not there, 2 not there, 3 open-throw.
