    Before what get out of hand? Nichols MOP-esque season?? The guys 17-6 as a Bomber starter since taking over from Willy last July, and you want to start seeing what Davis can do? Do you not realize how bad an opinion this is?

    The game, he WAS having a MOP-esque season before yesterday.  Like I said if he bounces back good on him but we can't go a quarter without a first down or we will be toast.    Give him three series then evaluate.  Hopefully Davis  has his helmet close by.

    Short lease? He's having a MOP type season. Take off the green glasses already. Yesterday was his worst game of the season and he still threw for almost 400 yards and 2 TD passes. 

    With 50 minutes of garbage time you would hope for these numbers, I agree it was his worst.  That's why I hope the leash is short.  Give him a few series and see if the hook is needed.  A mobile QB would be great against the 3 man rush.  Nichols could have had a picnic back there at times.

    That being said, the D is bad.  Seems to be a bunch of nice character guys that are not that great at football.

    This rider team was supposed to be in disarray at the beginning of the year....didn't look that way yesterday...We made them look awfully good and we just plain stunk...I expected a better effort and a few Bombers better look through that smoke and straight into the mirror.

    The unicorns and rainbows turned into a harsh reality in a hurry.  Better show some heart at home on Saturday.

    all these wonderful with minimal post counts showing up immediately after a loss... So much fun, and should absolutely be taken very seriously... 

    Take it any way you want to, hopefully the Bombers take this beat down seriously for everyone's sake.

    HHow hard is it going to be next week if we **** the bed again and wake up Sunday morning to the realisation that the Riders have surpassed us in 2 years of their rebuild compared to 6 years in ours? 

    This is a must win game, Matty Ice was a puddle when the bullets started flying.  The so called leaders have  to perform better, coaching has to improve, player personnel has to improve, game plans have to improve.  Lots to do this week.

    Nichols is still massively to the good in his win/loss ration as a Bomber and one poor outing and suddenly everything is horrible. **** sakes people calm the **** down. We almost never win on Labour Day, should be used to the worst possible outcome happening there. They'll pull their heads out of their asses for next week. 

    Nichols had been OK for us no question but some cracks have been starting to show.

    Why wouldnt they keep playing him? They had a rough 5 minutes in the first Q where the game turned.. Rest of it tho... We fought back and if not for turnovers we had a chance still... 

    Nichols is like what? 17 18 19 and what 6 or 7 as bomber starter? Hes not pulled because hes the best QB we have had since Khari Jones. 

    Because despite being down by a couple touchdowns... The game wasnt over... They scored 2 TDs in like a minute vs Montreal..  Why pull Nichols when down by a couple TDs with 6 7 8 minutes left? Pulling nichols would be like giving up or being blown out legit... We weren't being blown out tho. 

    If it was 38 0.. Sure play Davis but it wasnt and we still had a shot.. Pull him at the end? Sure.. But not with lots of time left. 

    We are 7 and 3... Many of our players are very good. 

    Nichols had the deer in the headlights  look before and after that play.  The Sask D is fast and aggressive,  he caved early and often.  Now maybe our receivers sucked tonight, they seemed blanketed even on the balls they caught.  

    Our kicker is good, running backs and o-line.  Big question marks remain everywhere else and today's game has shown it.  7-3 is nice but 7-4 will be disasterous.

    I get the hope for an un probable come back. But when we turned the ball over on the 5 of the riders that should have been it. He took 2 really good shots and seemed shaken up at the end of the game. 

    Nichols was exposed, lots of time but still had happy feet and

    made poor decisions.  Matty Ice Statue....

    Have to give your head a shake if you think this team is soft .. we've gotten up off the mat in a number of games this year already and were fighting back in this one.

    It was a game of momentum and the Riders had it from the get go .. they were catching all the breaks and making things happen and to be honest .. I think many people around here expected this kind of game today.

    We were never going to win out .. but now we have to respond .. I've sat through countless games where the team HAS rolled over .. it's not in this group's make up.

     

     

    No shake needed, this team is soft and was beat down today.  Will they respond next week?  I sure hope so but don't be surprised if the Riders come in and punch us in the mouth again.   Leaning toward getting lucky rather than getting off the mat.  No team with any real heart embarrasses themselves like that imo.

    No but in a blow out game the reps are valuable to a guy like him.  And you protect nichols who got banged up late in the game after he should have been pulled. 

    Yes, good points.  Also the kid wants to play, must be tough to watch a guy stink the place out and still not get a snap.  Osh needs to grow a set and use the hook.

    Nichols was horrible until garbage time IMO.  That early INT was the turning point, just couldn't happen, especially like that, maybe on a throw trying to push it deep.

    Yet Osh will keep trotting him out.  Davis must really suck if he could not get a snap today.  They Iced Matty.

    you think he would have thrown the 2 yard passes to Harris and Flanders to get immediately tackled any better than Nichols was?

    Maybe some mobility will help, Nichols is ice alright.  2nd and 8 throw for 3.  It's a LaPo special as well.
