Really the worst coaching decision made was starting Nichols. There's a 17 point handicap in each of the last two weeks. Chris Jones didn't do anything to earn that.

And in BC where literally 2 first downs in the fourth quarter on any of 3 drives would have ended the game. No offense for a whole half. Happens far too often.

And in any game we've had reasonable offense the D has been more than adequate.

Harris has to be hurt. I don't think he played much more than half the offensive snaps.

Actual stats can't come fast enough to football coverage in this country. They just look at boxcar stats, have no context.

Walby must share my brain. Just said Wolitarsky reminds him of Gerald Wilcox and Fantuz.

Ya when it's September 21 and you're playing a 3 win team in an absolute must win to hopefully get the crossover spot you're in a mess.

Similar in that Lapo is in charge of the offense and it's terrible. Where's Gary Crowton? Couldn't hire an OC when Lapo was coach because they knew they'd get overruled and have to run his bullshit.

Problem is that Lapo is game-planning for the starter and that's it. Could you ever convince him to make a plan for Streveler too? I guess with an ultimatum, do it or get fired. If we're going to run Streveler out to run Nichols' plays we're going to go nowhere. We're handicapping Streveler.

Bob is a real idiot. Great play-by-play guy. Not an analyst. He was shitting on Streveler during the broadcast, on the bomb to Adams, said Adams bailed him out, total BS. Had a hard time saying anything nice about Streveler or crediting him for good plays after taking stand against fans on Nichols. Making lots of apologies for Nichols on all the turnovers.

Did he play a game in 2017?

It's a reflection of how stagnant the offense is. The opposing D knows where the ball is going and are often waiting for it. Lapo doesn't trust Nichols clearly, we've seen him dumb down gameplans for QB's before and go super conservative like this. The RedZone offense is horrendous. No Harris, no Streveler, no run game, no misdirection. Sask scored more points off our RedZone possessions than we did. There was nothing in the gameplan for Streveler. He was running the same stuff, no read options, nothing to use his mobility and running ability, one rollout play which was a big pass play to Petermann. Is he going to put together a competent gameplan for Streveler to give him the best chance to succeed? On Streveler's first INT there were two receivers in the route, on that side of the field, the play side. There were 6 Riders. It was a straight drop back. That's not setting up a rookie QB for success. That's not setting up any QB for success. That's setting up a QB to get sacked, throw it away or turn it over. Lapo needs to go.

A guy who hasn't played a football game in 3 years is going to help us? Probably get hurt in his first game.

Talking Offense. Which is Lapo's domain.

D has never been this pathetic. When they've struggled we've had no offense. This offense is pathetic. Maybe we can petition the league to play the Argos every week so we can feel good about it. It's BAAAAD. The D isn't going to win them games, but it's league average. The O is just terrible against any respectable opponent.

And you can do a lot more than between the tackles turn and hand off with Streveler. Should have been running a ton of read option. How is that not in our base playbook when our #2 QB is a guy like Streveler? How is Lapo this negligent? If I were MOS I'd have him in a chokehold right now.

Doug Brown calling out Lapo big time on OB. Saying team not prepared and can see it in how they start game vs how they play in 2nd half.

A team with a horrible quarterback and an ignoramus designing and calling the offense.

He clearly didn't have anything installed for Streveler this week. That's inexcusable at this point of the season. Nichols could get hurt, or continue his poor play and need to be pulled. Then we're going to throw Streveler out there to run Nichols' game plan. If I'm HC there's no way that guy is calling the plays in the next game. Maybe keep him to help whoever is taking over and keep coaching receivers (or maybe not since all our imports are terrible), but there's no way he can keep calling plays.

Lapo will be. Also better work on fixing the OL, get some depth. Can't survive with Couture and Neufeld at RT.

Can't win if you're going to hand 17 points to the other team every week. Which Nichols did in both games vs Sask.

One rollout in a whole half of Streveler which was the first big play to Petermann. Otherwise straight drop back passing.

I'd like to see Streveler get a chance to run an offense made for him, not run the plays designed for Nichols. I don't think Lapo is the guy to build that gameplan.

Bighill really needs to stuff some runs. JSK too.

They've been lively since 15:00 1st Q.
