I agree. Said to the people near me when that happened that throw is just completely inexcusable. If he tries to make a tight throw downfield and throws a pick you live with it at that point, but that play was literally going for 2 yards even if it went well, Demski was getting the ball stationary and had nowhere to go.

Offensively for sure. If our offense could stay on the field our D can take them. Nichols weakness is blitz and Sask is the best at it.

That wasn't an out, that was Nichols dumping the ball to Demski after hesitating through his reads. Davis just stood with Demski and waited for Nichols to hand him the ball.

That was the easiest interception I've ever seen. Nichols stared down Demski who was standing beside him at the line of scrimmage and continued to do so as Davis backed off on the rush into the lane between them and then Nichols flipped the ball right to him like a point guard with glaucoma. The interception at the end of the half was a hell of a play, but still a horrible throw into the line, a problem Nichols has had for the last season and a half. Staring down throws and letting the DL read his eyes to get into the passing lane.

Collaros reads blitz, easy TD. Nichols on that play would have hesitated his ass right into the turf.

Our natural pick might be pretty high too given the number of divisional games left.

All 8 teams. The 2 and outs this team has put up including Streveler's last start to today's game are astounding, even in games they've won. It's been Harris, D and insane special teams.

Hard to recover from the QB handing a free TD per game at minimum to the opposition too. You can maybe do that it you throw for 400 yards and 4 TD's every game, but not if you're closer to 200 and 1 TD.

Streveler will produce the same amount of passing as Nichols (thinking actual game numbers, not the last 2 minutes when teams lay off, or the 20 minutes of prevent he saw vs Ottawa). About 220-250 passing, but Streveler adds the element of running, both by design and out of necessity when plays break down. This has to be defended and opens up passes to backs because the LB's have to wait for Streveler, they can't pay too much attention to Harris leaking out because if they run at him, Streveler runs up the seam for 20. This offense with Nichols is just too easy to defend when he has no midrange game. and no hope of hitting a deep ball consistently. Now Streveler is young so automatically you worry about turnovers, but in reality he's been better at protecting the ball than Nichols thus far in 2018. I don't see a huge downside in terms of production. The downside is Nichols losing his mind and never playing for us again, but seems to be heading that way regardless. The guy is out of sorts.

The import scouting has been ****, and I think partially because they don't do a good job of developing guys or giving new guys a real shot to develop. Instead they get stuck on one dimensional players like Lankford, because he's so damn fast! He can make like two big plays in a whole season just by being so fast!

Even Lafrance is a pretty useful player. Can run, catch and block, just does good things when he gets on the field.

In a game he was leading into the 2nd half.

Real easy to stop the run when you can’t pass.

Meh. TBH Poop is a pretty marginal player in this league. I think you have to try to improve on those guys especially when they start being stupid.

Nichols is a total mess. For his sake and the teams he needs to take a seat.

Welp...just cost a TD.

Hate the empty backfields. Hate it. Don’t make yourself that easy to defend.

Plus you open up space for Harris, Demski because Streveler is a huge threat if he keeps it, you have to defend that. They don’t have to worry about Nichols with the ball at all, just where he might throw it or hand it off to.

That’s not coaching, that’s a QB having an extra large brain fart.

Streveler is honestly the perfect change of pace guy. As long as Nichols doesn’t get his panties in a bunch about it I could see it being very useful giving Streveler a series here and there and maybe more depending how it goes.

Nichols can’t read a blitz presnap or get the ball out quick enough. He’s a 200 yard QB right now and he’s really limiting our offence. That could have been a 30 point half if Nichols could beat a blitz.

Insane to throw a pass behind the line of scrimmage when you're already in field goal range to tie. Insane.

Interesting on both final drives we see how little faith each coach has in their QB. Can't believe the screen call by Trestman. Lost the Argos the game.

Can he be any factor toward a win? That's the important question. There's not much positive that he brings. In that case he basically has zero margin to do anything negative.

Mostly plays tight end. Has only played guard significantly otherwise.
