  1. WF - Bombers @ Riders

    in Blue Bomber Discussion

    Posted

    I expect the greeners to send alot of heat throughout the game. One,  to run stop, two, make ZC hit the hot route. 

    Hopefully ZC and Lapo work on the hots and I also see us using alot more misdirection than we already do. (Which is a **** ton) 

    Our hogs plug thier blitz, we win. 

     

    I said weeks ago on the other site that ZC will bring the cup home. I stand by that. 

    He will give us a maigcal 5 week run and move on in the offseason.

    The whole point is that Nichols’ 7-2 wasn’t a sustainable 7-2. And he’s damn lucky he got hurt or you’d be seeing the same results with him and there’s be no chance he gets brought back next season over the mystique of “mayyyybe we were just one Nichols injury away from dominating our way to the cup!!”

    More Doc Brown fantasy is all...

     

    Strev has not won us games. What else matters?

    I think you're just PO'd with this team and venting your anger on Streveler. You're blowing off the fact that Nichols won against inferior competition and lost against superior competition (Hamilton) just as Streveler is now. 

    Sorry but just pointing out what soo many people where crying and whining for, Strev to replace Nichols.  

     

    It hasn't worked out. Not saying its all om Strev but the masses got what they were cryinf for...now its not just simple as the QB

    The bottom line is we’re never going to agree on this. We will never know how Streveler would have fared against the crap teams Nichols played or how Nichols would have fared over the past six weeks. To me, it’s clear the red flags were there for Nichols as well and he was regressive heavily before he got hurt. You’re free to disagree but you haven’t raised a single point outside of “Nicholz had seven winz!!!!”

    What matters beyond "winz"

    He was subpar today and in a few other starts. He was good in a couple as well. Not saying Fajardo is good but he looked indisputably terrible every time he got a chance in his first two seasons and now bare minimum he moves the ball and gives his team a chance to win most nights. We can’t forget that Streveler is 24 and only started two seasons in college. He’s extremely raw. Once again, he very easily could end up being terrible but even if he is, we didn’t know that at the time. Nichols had an extremely large sample size of mediocre at best play. Not that you can’t win with him, but I don’t love relying on luck and DST scores to win games. 

    You kinda ran around alot of bushes on that post.. 

    Still didnt really defend your stance on Strev giving us a better chance at winning NOW did ya?

    Nope, Nichols didn't play the Riders this season.

    Nichols' played the soft part of the schedule and his wins came against the worst teams in the league -- BC, Ottawa, Edmonton, and Toronto. Streveler likely cashes in those wins too. Nichols also beat Bo-less Calgary throwing for 0 TDs and running for 2 yards so he doesn't get much credit there. As soon as Nichols played a good team like Hamilton he was throwing picks and looked awful.

    Dang, lucky we won any games this year?

    Replacing a known commodity who is subpar (Nichols) with an unknown commodity who may or may not be subpar (Streveler at the time) is something I will always unapologetically advocate for. 

    So when does Strev venture into subpar territory? 

    Like I said earlier, too many fans like the shinny new object, and are blinded by it. 

     

    We were  7-2 before the Strev took over...facts is facts.

    Look, I recognize you’re not the type of person who can engage in a nice friendly debate but how many of Nichols’ wins were against the three worst teams in the league? And how many touchdowns did the defence or special teams score in those wins? That’s a good place to start. 

    Im pointing out how you were one of the most vocal people calling for Strev to replace Nichols.

    Im assuming you thought it would result in better results for the Bombers. 

     

    Just simply pointing out it was wrong.

    My response is that’s an extremely simplistic narrative when there are countless other factors at play. If you can’t see it, there’s really no chance of having a measured conversation. 

    But when Nichols was under center it was less "countless" for you right?.... smh...

    I literally always said that my stance on wanting to see Streveler was more an anti-Nichols stance than a pro-Streveler one. And for a number of his starts this season, Streveler gave this offence a spark they hadn’t seen in a long time. Obviously, things have gone off the rails lately and he was terrible tonight but even early in the season I repeatedly stated my desire to bring Arbuckle in next season. 

    Uh huh... 

     

    There is always another fish in the  sea...

    I don't understand why you're so negative about Streveler. Obviously if he is turning the ball over it's not good but a lot can go into a turnover such as poor route running by the receiver, bad hands on the receiver, poor Oline play, poor play calling, and plain old bad luck.

    He'll never be Matt Nichols, they're very different types of players. Nichols is a pocket passer, very slow of foot, and somewhat fragile, very cautious with the ball and risk averse. He is somewhat reluctant to fire the ball into tight windows or to stretch the field vertically but he's very good at making the safe play.

    Streveler is a much more mobile QB and is very intelligent, a stud of an athlete with a strong arm, good speed, and tremendous heart. He's not afraid to take chances and will challenge a D by firing the ball into tight windows. He is not a seasoned vet like Nichols and is somewhat more prone to making mistakes but he's learning. We're damned lucky to have him. The last time he played the Riders he pummeled them and had them off balance all game. Give the guy a break.

    Well...This first half performance is kinda what I'm saying. 

     

    Hes a bit player at this point.

    This absolutely looks to be a pivotal game for both teams, but Streveler turning the ball over is the least of the Bomber problems.

     

    This team is built for the O to not makes mistakes, (like turnovers) control the clock with the run and complete shorts passes.  

    Our D is really struggling right now, same as our specials. 

    To say Strev throwing picks is the last of the worries....

    Id say it makes or breaks us.
