White Out

At this point I'm on board with giving Streveler a shot and seeing what he can do, and seeing if this is a QB or a OC/head coach problem. I know where I'd put my money but I won't die on a hill for any qb

these are the kinds of threads that should be bumped, not Nichols hate. Or at least not Nichols hate alone. He's been bad and I'm willing to see what Streveler would do at this point. I see no reason why MOS should be back here next season if we predictably go 1 and done in the post season. If we even make it there. Labour day and BB are a must split. Lose both and all bets are off: I'd want MOS gone.

Yeah, Nichols with another bad effort. 2018 hasn't been kind to him. But let's not pretend he's our #1 problem.

Rider fans are the absolute scum of the sports world. Go dump manure on someone's lawn jagoff.

I may disagree with the harping on Nichols but there's little doubt this fan base needs a championship. Pretty badly.

We don't have the defence for that

This all goes back to Drew Willy and the inexplicable love many here had for him. Nichols is the guy who made him expendable and it appears the bad blood is going nowhere. People hate Nichols because in a lot of cases he's a mirror for people to look into and see how bad their football opinions can get.

It's ******* incredible watching our fan base turn on Nichols after the kind of rope given to Willy. It's disgusting and also sad to see how bad our fans are. The loss is just one game... but to see my own city and fans turn into rider fans like this is genuinely jarring.

The hall experiment mercifully ends this year one way or another. It's just too bad we couldn't see the obvious coming and try another coordinator with new ideas, better ideas. But like most fools Michael O'Shea believes he's the smartest guy in the room

Have a losing record for one? I mean, he's so far down the list of problems with this football team that I find this thread hyperbolic and stupid. And that's being polite. Im fine with criticizing Matt and don't think he's Joe Montana but get real.

This is the thread that get started when our defense is hot garbage as usual? Never change Bomber fans, never change

Another win for a Matt Nichols ho-hum.

Honestly who didn't see this coming? The stadium was built in a terrible location for professional sports. If there's been any lesson to be learned over the last 20 years of stadium and Arena building is location is actually really important. I really like the new stadium and every time I've gone has been a pretty fun experience. But I'm a die-hard and I don't mind taking a bus and making the extra effort especially because I only go to a few games being an out-of-towner now. But I really don't get why some people have to pile on people making the obvious point that location is bad. Yes to us Die Hard location isn't a big deal. But the game and the league cant survive on die-hards only

I wish I would have screen captured the TSN image they had last night after the win. The jist of it was the Bombers win % was something like .255 or so with all QB's not named Matt Nichols in the last x number of years, and, .655 or something with him starting. It's pretty incredible how this teams regular season success has turned on a dime the moment he became starter.

jfc put in Manziel already.

Cool. Bad opinion but it's yours to offer. A quality starting qb in this league will never be less valuable than a star rb. Ever.

In a terrible scenario where you have to choose either Harris or Nichols being spared a season ending injury, and only one, only a total fool would spare Harris.

wbbfan and the usual crew taking their shots at Nichols, nothing new here. this utter lack of respect for our teams franchise player remains baffling. I can only guess its based on Nichols proving the Pro Willy crowd to have been delusional so they can't wait to tear this guy down.

The Bombers were in real peril of being the worst team in the West. As it turns out BC blew the game and we dominated Toronto. The comment was about the standings and nothing more. I think Nichols is the 2nd or 3rd best qb in the league and I get highly annoyed when I see people trying to chase him out of town. We've wandered the desert long enough without a real qb.

Hopefully second half goes well and the usual suspects can stfu about Nichols for at least a couple of weeks

Don't look now but we're about to be the worst team in the west and pretty convincingly so

I think that's probably scribbled into their play books by now

Wait, ONLY 20 points? Projected over a full game 20 points works out to... *runs some complicated algorithms* 40 points. I don't think anyone is cracking open a beer celebrating 20 points surrendered per half. Team loss. Period.

He was rushed. He'd be a good coordinator for the D. But big picture stuff and strategy and adjustments seem to still allude him. We can only hope he learns from his mistakes (that he keeps making btw) because he's definitely here for the whole season. Even if we miss the playoffs I doubt he gets canned.
