Right? When has that even been an issue in the CFL, once the QB is past the line Streveler knows he's fair game and so do the Bombers, they've told him to protect himself more.

If someone lowered the boom on BLM when he runs Dickey Boy would be howling till end of time

Dickenson is such a bltch. "The referees have to make sure that Streveler counts as a runningback" 
Easily the biggest whiner in the CFL.

Interesting that our passing production was same with a vet QB.  You don't see any systemic issue?  I don't believe Adams or Arbuckle would do anything in this offense and it's hard to judge Streveler too, obviously has had some spectacular moments but no consistency.

Suitor, would you quite making excuses for Diggs on that clear helmet to helmet shot. You are an ass!

Someday we won't have Harris as a security blanket

The bottom line is whether its Nichols or Lapo, something has to change. We need to begin to have more of an intermediate passing game. We need to make better use of the receivers we have.

Late to the discussion but my 2 cents.
It's the team that's carrying Nichols, not Nichols carrying the team. I honestly believe the team could carry Streveler too if they had to.
Anyone who says that they know how Streveler can or can't play is out to lunch. He hasn't run the whole offence with the starters since game 3 last year.
Nichols 10 completions to receivers includes the jet sweeps because he throws the ball 2 feet forward. That brings it down to 8 completions to receivers. Most of Nichols throws are around 2 yards from the LOS either way.
Matthews didn't drop the ball, the DB made a great play.
The team isn't built to allow the special teams to win games for us. Sometimes they end up doing it, like last night.
 

Here’s the reality with Nichols ... he had a better than average (for him) night and tossed up three balls that were good looking - one to Lawler for a nice little gain, one to Woli that was just not executed and one to Matthews that the CGY DB made a good play on.
Rest of the game? Safe garbage. So predictable. Not scaring anyone. Not stomp on your throat, smash mouth, prove you can stop us, not nothing. Equal parts LaPolice and Nichols go into the conversation of why our O is so inept, but no matter what blame you wanna place where, the reality is our offense sucks.
Matthews didn’t forget how to play wideout, Lucky Whitehead hasn’t suddenly just forgotten how to be a weapon ... etc, etc, etc. We don’t use our weapons. If Grant doesn’t put two in the end zone tonight, we lose handily. Our O has been **** for a minimum of three games and the combo of play calling / QB play is showing absolutely zero signs of improvement. We may finish 13-5 but this year is not going to be a Grey Cup year.
as an aside, I always find it funny that people will crap on Willie Jefferson and justify it by singling out the odd notable play here and there when he isn’t elite but they’ll turn a blind eye to how atrociously mediocre Nichols is.

As always can’t go quarters and halves without making a throw.  This has been Nichols issue back to Edmonton.  Once again we’re a couple first downs from a win and he can’t convert the second down to keep the offense on the field.  And we lose.

And O'Shea will continue to wet-nurse Nichols until its too late.

Jesus... that  image is now seared into my mind... thanks... 

Even when Nichols completed a pass today, it forced the receiver to hit the dirt and made it impossible for them to make a play. He was absolutely terrible.

Almost as absurd as the Davis TD INT in Calgary.  
This offense, whether it's Nichols reads, Lapo's calls or combo of both, tries way too hard to challenge the width of the field and not enough to challenge the depth.  Just too easy to defend.  Harris breaking tackles and getting loose for big runs is the only positive, Demski the odd time too.

Sell Matt Nichols on eBay

Jeff Hamilton on the radio said that the Blue still have not spoke with Durant yet and that the club is very upset at the situation.     From the sounds of it they will fight for the bonus money.   
I will assume that Durant will never show his face up North again after torpedoing whatever reputation the guy had left.   

Depending on the contract's terms there's also things that are taken into account like signing in bad faith. The action (edit: or lack thereof) of not informing the Bombers that he was retiring could be a very real argument if the Bombers were to take him to court.
