And what's the point in blaming Streveler for that, especially in a game where he's clearly played the second half hurt?
Well before he was hurt he wasn’t playing good in my opinion. Also It’s not “blaming” him to say I don’t think he is our qb to win playoff games. I think the guy has more heart than anything.

I don't care, I'm sick of the bullshit play at the quarterback position, be offended all you want.
Well first I’m not offended, I just don’t think it right to call out a guy when he’s hurt. Second of all I agree with you that strev is not the guy going forward. But take my comment as you see it

U are a POS. Hes clearly hurt
The guy is clearly hurt yes, and the original post was a bit unclassy, but it’s hard to see this team winning in the playoffs with strev

So is there a controversy on who starts next week?

Atta boy, Lapo. Need 10 throw for 3. Well done.
Lapo didn’t throw it. And the 3 yard check out pass is not the first read. I’m love criticizing Lapo, but it has to be legit criticism

1 we aren't playing Hamilton
2 we are struggling and have been benefactors of Calgary unforced mistakes
14 points from the D from an int and fumble and score. Plus 12 points from medlock. Have to agree that we aren’t playing to well.

And this is why having a running qb is a scary idea 😬

I still don't understand why Lapo never goes for a pass longer than what we need to get.
We need 10, he dumps it off at the LoS.
We need 7 he dumps it off at the 3 yrd...
We need 15yrds... dump it off at the 5...
How is that a recipe for success?
Calgary... they need 10- there's 55 yards.
They need 6 yards- theres 20...
the ****...
So while I kinda agree with this, Lapo isn’t the one “dumping” them off 5-8 yards short, that’s the qb. Usually those are the second or third reads. But there could be an argument to be made that the receivers need to get deeper or at least 1 or 2 yards short of the first down.

Okay, but if we can’t have theoretical discussions it severely limits the discussion on a message board. Teams rarely lose when they create five turnovers. I don’t think this is any great revelation.
For sure. I was just using the 4 picks in the game as an example. It’s more to the point of saying one qb> over the other based on events that don’t happen. Theoretical discussion is fine, but in any sports game, no matter how good one team is or not, almost impossible to predict.

Streveler wasn’t any better today than he was against Hamilton but a win does a lot to adjust perspectives. That’s the whole thing with Nichols. Does this team win today without four picks? Doubt it. Same thing as a ton of the Nichols wins.
Once again, that’s talking about events that haven’t happened so it’s tough to say what actually would happen. Easy to say it’s one way or the other. It’s just as easy for me to say I think they would win even if they didnt have 4 picks.

And there's your stupid play of the game, who ever called that play needs a slap
I’m all for calling out Lapo, but that’s a bad throw. Good thing we got it back.

Fair. 🙂 I'm probably being harsh and he'll make a great play to prove me wrong. I would have liked to see him make a better, more physical effort, on that ball.
100% agree he needs to be better on that type of play. I actually think he has had an iffy game. But just have to disagree when you say he’s not good enough when he has been an excellent wr the past 2-3 years.

This poor secondary has to cover forever because the pass rush is so bad. Bighill is close to the worst blizter in the league.
Seems slower this year no?

He's good, just not good enough.
I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this.

Sure. I like Adams. He’s a valuable part of this team. It’s not his fault he’s miscast as a number one guy. While he’s the least of this team’s problems in the receiving group, he has never been great on the 50-50 balls. He’s the best we have there, but still on great.
While I wouldn’t call him great, I would think he is better than just good, whatever that may be. And ya never a 50/50 guy but good on getting open space. But once again to call him not good enough is almost laughable.

Just now, AKAChip said:
He’s a number two on pretty much any other team. Good, not great player.
Agreed, I find it a bad take if someone calls him not good enough based on lower stats this year.

Darvin Adams is one of those guys that isn't good enough.
You mean cfl west all star in 2017 and 2018 Adams isn’t good enough?

It will take a miracle to finally convince some people that Nichols isn't close to a top tier QB in any facet. Streveler has two bad games and suddenly forget the dozens of Nichols' bad to mediocre performances. Not that Streveler is a saviour but Nichols is no better than the 7th best QB in the league at best. Mitchell, Reilly, Masoli, Arbuckle, Evans and even Adams are better. Hell, I think Fajardo is pretty terrible but even he is probably better.
But that’s lapo’s fault right? Oh sorry that’s only when strev plays bad.

Not a bad trade, not saying this will win us a gc but provides insurance behind cs if he continues to struggle going into playoffs.

No fix for this year coming. All that's left is to fight for whatever they can get with whoever they have left and who knows on that. A Janarion Grant return could be the difference in any upcoming game.
For the future, the answer is to back up the truck. Problems on the field are only symptoms of the real issues with the team. Bombers need to have a GM that can objectively evaluate those working under him and there needs to be a CEO capable of objectively evaluating the GM and that's not happening. It's all about hoodwinking the fans with these guys. Life has truly never been better.
Pick any season ticket holder and give them Wade Millers job and things will start to improve. Just saying.
Well this is an opinion... I don’t think there is no fix at all. It only seems like our biggest hold back is either qb or oc. Yes our defence has struggled the past few games, but overall they have been fairly strong. As for “backing up the truck” you can only do that so much with the salary cap not increasing very much. And yea I’m sure any season ticket holder could be thrown into that office and do better 🙄
-
So this question goes out to anybody. This team is still a good team, so what is an actual fix? And what is the fix going into next year? We can sit here and argue but what do you guys think would make this team a winning team again?

I'm not sure people thought he'd be way better...more like he'd bring more variety to the game plan. Unfortunately I think many casual observers are starting to realize that regardless who our QB is we're going to have difficulty succeeding with LaPo calling the games.
That being said Chris is hanging on to the ball way too long...but...ironically that was one of the knocks on Matt too. I don't know why that is. Just about every other team's QBs manage to get off a lot of really quick passes. Slants...hitches (with blocking in place). Matt's upside was eating it or throwing it out if he didn't feel comfortable. Chris tries to force it.
I feel for Chris. I have no doubt he's feeling an incredible amount of pressure to take what was billed as a Grey Cup contender all the way which I think influences some of his poor decisions. He's trying to make up for some pretty suspect play calling with some pretty suspect decisions. Not a great combo.
Fair enough, just had to make my point stand out a bit more haha. What I don’t understand is that Nichols went from a strong passer in 2016,2017 and parts of 2018 to this year. I agree both qbs have been holding the ball way too long and it comes back to hurt us. It seems that the only thing that is constant is Lapo poor play calling at times, with receivers having trouble getting open. I think both qbs could find success with a different system.

I can. We aren't good on O with Nichols either. We kick 4 or 5 FGs.. Lose by less.
Really?? Any chance you can look into the future and tell me the winning lotto numbers haha

I agree, at that point in the game, yards needed to be collected through the air. And with Streveler, never mind a hurt Streveler, that’s a hard thing to do. Osheas problem of being too loyal
