This reeks of TSN's influence.  The longer they have to wait it out the higher the production costs for tv and they don't want their crew waiting longer than they need to.  Plus they would be splitting their CFL audience in two with 2 games occurring simultaneously for an hour or so.
There is a desperate need for competition for tv rights when the contract is up in 2 years.

Indeed he does.  Herp derp.

Nichols failed to generate one td against a team with a tonne of injuries and off-season losses.  Inexcusable for O'shea to not use Streveler more often.

I din't think Nichols was terrible tonight, but he does check down too much. I think he gives up on plays too easily.
It's also been three weeks in a row where we've needed him to make a play late in a game, and he's failed all three times.

Bombers win no thanks to Nichols.  Defense good, Special teams good, Harris good.  Nichols mediocre.  
Bottom line is he failed to march the team down the field on his own.  He passed for a paltry 177 yards and only 16 first downs.  He failed to generate one TD on offense.  He seemed to expect Harris generate first downs out of nothing per usual and this conservative play nearly cost the Bombers the game.
The past 3 weeks, there is no QB in the league who has generated as little offense as Matt Nichols.

Props to you, White Out. 

I don't see it making the Riders better. Willy likely does not resign there as they still had a healthy Durant coming off leading them to a Grey Cup. Glenn remains a Redblack. Willy may have gone to BC or Montreal.
I think Burris would have made us better. Better QB even in 2014 than Willy ever was.

Remember when people thought this would sell out? Lol.

Congrats dude. Best wishes. 

Well the points didn't come from his arm, they came from Harris and the OL whipping the Argos LB's.
Nichols threw one completion in the ENTIRE GAME that travelled more than 12 yards vertically down the field.  Pick any one of Brian Brohm, Robert Marve, Max Hall, Justin Goltz, Joey Elliott...that's the kind of thing we'd be talking about after they started a game.

Calgary has a tonne of injuries.  They are playing a backup quarterback.  They are on the road.  They will be coming off only 4 days rest.
Bombers have relatively few injuries.  They are playing their starting QB.  They are at home and have a full week of rest.
There are no excuses to expect anything other than a Bomber victory.

Nichols reminds me of Jerry from Rick and Morty!

I doubt Lapo is calling those check-downs. That's Nichols unable to get through his reads and then ditching on the play.

Nichols had 27 yards passing in the second half against the worst team in the CFL.  Easily the worst performance by an opposing QB against Toronto this season.  Bethel-Thompson had over twice as many yards passing.  Think about that for a minute.
I firmly believe that if Nichols had average talent around him he would be putting up Drew Willy like numbers.  Heck, with above average talent he put up Drew Willy like numbers today!

Week 1 seems so long ago.  remember when Nichols rolled out of the pocket against BC and made that nice throw for a TD.  It looked like he had his mobility back.  It appears that was short-lived.

I don't understand why we are not seeing Streveler in for a series or two during every game... or at least a few snaps say after a short plunge on 2nd or 3rd and short.  I thought they intended to use him more this season?

Would it ****ing kill MOS to put Streveler in for a series or two when Nichols is shitting all over the field?? Like really?? If Nichols' ego cant take it or he's too mentally fragile to sit and watch for a few drives then its time to go sell insurance.

I don't know how anyone can defend Nichols at this point. He will always be our limiting player. 
 

Maybe they thought that an NFL exhibition game sells itself.
