Nichols being interviewed by Sarah Orlesky just doesn't look happy.  Not smiling or excited. I think he'd be happy to be playing elsewhere.

So I wasn't the only one that got the sense he wanted to tell the whole city to go to H E double hockey sticks?

To simply say a QB missed his throws and we were lucky for it...or it could have been worse if...is plain dumb...

So in one breath I'm dumb for suggesting BLM was off and that it wasn't the D causing the issues....on this play specifically.

BLM hasn't looked elite now for the better part of the last half of last season and this one..other than in minor spurts here and there

In the next breath you admit BLM has not been very good. 

Suggesting the schemes on D are leaving receivers open all over the field is objectively true. We can deny it if it makes us feel better but it doesn't make it any less true.

Honestly, stop pumping the defenses tires. They didn't keep us in the game by playing great. BLM missed wide open receivers and the Stamps had some drops in the first half. They fixed that in the second half.

I can't believe more people aren't recognizing this. For anyone with the game still on PVR (or if anyone knows where to find the game online, link me and I'll point it out) go to about 6min left in the 1st quarter. BLM passes over the middle to a wide open rec. So wide open that there was literally no one else on the screen but the rec for a huge gain into the red zone. On the next play Calg runs the ball, picks up a few yards. On second down BLM throws one into the ground to another wide open rec. Rod Black says something inane like the D steps up for Wpg but in reality they did nothing and it had nothing to do with being gassed.

Had BLM been sharp in the first half the game would have been out of reach long before the 4th. But...I guess some people only see what they want to see.
