How? The offense handed the other team 7 points (for the 3rd consecutive week). You going to put that on the D?

Sorry but good game plan doesn't result in 6 points and a 100 yards of offense in a half. Yes the 14 gave up on critical errors was the difference but that speaks to how pathetic the Riders O was in the first half. I care less about the Riders and more about how the Bombers are playing. It ain't pretty. Like my mom said when I got a shitty mark on a test and I said "but the whole class did bad," I don't care about how they did, I care about what our team does.

Lapolice has always been an idiot. He's never run a consistent offense, even in a good year. People always get jacked about 3-4 good games he puts together, too bad a season is 20-21 games including playoffs. Why do you underestimate Pierce? Where did Lapo play pro ball?

The board would be too. They'd be paying out probably close to a million dollars. GM doesn't make that decision.

Only one on the OL too. 2 of them Nichols statued against 3 man rush, didn't throw it away, didn't scramble, just hunkered down until the Riders worked to him. On the 3rd one Hughes and Jefferson turnstiled both tackles.

The only time Nichols has looked half-decent this season is when thinking has been taken off his plate, quick throws based on pre-snap reads. If they show this many rushers, go here, if they show less, go here.

Sask did. Therefore, net offensive point output is 16.

He's paid for the rest of the year. His kids won't starve.

6 points in a half. Sask D dominated the 2nd half after Bombers eeked out a small lead in the first half with 2 critical errors. That's not a pretty good game.

Adams used to be one of the best boundary WR's in the league with an emphasis on those long plays down the sideline. He's quickly become a dud but he also doesn't see a lot of those passes lately.

Contracts aren't guaranteed. Cut someone the day after the season ends, owe them nothing.

His Sask D's had some decent secondaries with pretty good safeties. He likes to rotate guys between SAM, WIL and safety. Hurl doesn't play a ton of snaps on Sask's D. Between him, Judge and Edem they play one every down.

He played better in his games than Nichols has, and presumably he's gained some experience. Even if he could get the same passing yards as Nichols and protect the ball as well as he did in his starts he'd be better than what Nichols has been. He's going to get 70+ yards rushing a game too and not allow the D to focus on our backs. They only keep Nichols in hoping he returns to form. If we had no memories beyond 2018 there's no way anyone would start Nichols. Playing better offense is the shakeup the D needs. Maybe benching Loffler too and playing a safety that can cover some ground, finish a tackle, or at the very least cover a receiver.

No kidding. And when you stall out for a whole half how do you not run him out there for a series or even a few plays, keep him in for a play or two in no huddle after he runs a sneak?

Then you must believe Nichols is truly awful.

Lapo will never be a head coach in the CFL again, other than interim if he's assistant somewhere when the HC gets fired.

I wonder what Hall thinks of Loffler. I feel like he's a huge hole in our D and our coverages are designed to cover for his lack of ability in coverage. It doesn't work. There's never any support over the top. At best we go into quarters where in a deep route you are still giving up 1 on 1 matchups. They have to cheat to the deep routes in their quarter of the field because there's nothing behind them. Run a slant against that and it's 7-8 yards every time, especially when we blitz Bighill and JSK so much. That's tough for DB's. Every play is at best 50-50 if they make a perfect read and get decent position. Then toss in PI and all that crap. I wonder if Hall would even start Loffler if it were up to him. I'd like to see what we could do with a legitimate safety.

They didn't change much. Started almost all blitz on passing downs early, went to more 3 man pressure and then more of a mix in the 2nd half. Lapo adjusted to the 3 man pressure and went to more calls with straight drop backs and out of the quick game and misdirection, also forgot about Harris for a long stretch. Then they had lots of trouble with the blitz on passing downs.

It's basically a video game at that level with the tablets. Players just need to be robots.

It's why the quick passing games works so well with QB's who are less mobile and comfortable scrambling. Went to it in the first half and was on pace for nearly 300 yards. Abandoned in 2nd half, finished at 166. Basically no passing game in 2nd half.

I wonder if they'd let Nichols call the plays like Kevin Glenn in the second half of 2008. Usually when that happens it's a pretty good sign that the coaching staff has totally lost control.

Ya it's actually crazy to think we lost a game where we had 200 yards rushing against a team with basically no offense.

The Hamilton game Streveler started is what scares me. Didn't throw a pass over 10 yards and didn't call any QB runs or option until deep into the 3rd quarter. It's like he almost went we see what you've done, now let's see if you can play QB the way I like my QB to play rather than using Streveler's ability to run that option type offense.

Wolitarsky 6'3 220 Simonise 6'5 200. Have only made big catches when opportunity given.

Streveler is a weapon. 300 yards of offense just from his arm and legs is no problem for him. Then you have Harris and Demski, Lafrance/Flanders running. I'm not sure Lapo is the right OC for that style of offense though with a running QB, some option, tons of playaction. He defaults to drop back passing. Did it in Streveler's 3rd start, doing it to Nichols every week in the 2nd half.
