Goalie

Bombers D have given up 1 TD in 2 games... Its not lucky... They are very good. Id say the O scoring 28 was more to do with "Lucky"

Both these teams aren't very good ATM.

Arenas and sports are obviously good for the overall community and just the mentality you are a big league city. If im mayor, i cut a deal where the city pays a portion but.. We get money back yearly from taxes and what not. The owners pay the majority tho.

I dont see how really good in the CFL is 184 yds passing. Andrew Harris was really good. Our D was good. I don't care about stats tho.. I care about moving the ball... In the air.. On the ground.. 184 through the air just isnt... Its not CFL like numbers. If Harris crapped the bed last week... I just dont see Nichols being able to extend a drive or take the hit for the extra yard to wrap the game up. Might say he doesn't have 2... But damn it... I think for his own sake he does.. I hate saying this.. I like Matt.. But.. Isnt it more likely he gets injured eventually?

He had 1 real good season here 2 seasons ago now. Last year he was bad... Shell shocked.. Scared.. He looks similar this season so far

I think what some of us are saying about Nichols is theres lots of room for improvement in his play.. I dont care about stats but 384 yds passing in the CFL in 2 games is pretty friggin brutal. We won yup.. Because our D held Edmonton to 7 Fgs.. And have given up 1 TD in 2 games. Eventually the QB is gonna have to step up and win a game... 200 yards passing and 5 competitions at half isnt good enough. I believe @Mike made a statement where it appears our current O is designed more so for Strevelers strengths and Not Nichols... So i wonder how much lapo plays a role but... Nichols lack of accuracy and ability to complete a mid range pass could be the issue also.

Our D is good

184 yards passing is now good. A Harris was good. Nichols wasn't

T Harris had less time than Nichols in the pocket. This isnt like just a this game thing with Nichols.. This goes back to last year now.

It is tho when the game is on the line.. By all means if its quarter 1.. Slide but if its 4th quarter 2 minutes left.. Take the damn hit.

Harris was bad today 2 tho but ya.. Im sure lots of guys aren't impressed with that

384 yards passing in 2 games in the CFL... What the forky. I don't even care about that.. Its the other parts that bother me.. The inability to run.. The sliding with games on the line.. Take the hit.. Your teammates will see that and get pumped and go all out for you. I dunno how id feel seeing my QB slide with a game on the line.

Lol. Ya. Nichols had so much to do with the 1 TD pass for sure. You could have thrown him the ball.

Stats are irrelevant. To me its about intangibles. Nichols just lacks that killer instinct and hes a QB so he should be able to complete some intermediate passes but.. Nope. I dunno.. When he hurt himself to start last season, that was the beginning of the end. Sure we won.. Thats awesome. Im happy. I just feel our QB play from our starter has been lacking for a while now.

Bombers D and 2 huge plays by Whitehead.

I dont get how ppl can justify Nichols play the last season and a bit now. Oh well. As for Streveler https://www.cfl.ca/players/chris-streveler/163715/

He did. He also had 5 completions on 1 drive. Nichols had that half. Whatever. We won with crappy play. Going back to last season, nichols hasn't been good tho.

Its football. Sometimes you take the hit to make the play. If you can't do that when you need a 1st down to run out the clock... Its time to move on.

Nichols missed lots of throws tho.

Honestly.. About 200 yards passing. Cuz thats what he does. Im just saying its not good enough.. And i dont like the quitting he does on plays. First down is needed... Slides. That's just not a winners mentality.

Has Nichols shown he can do that recently? The passing thing?

You know what.. Screw the stats.. Those are irrelevant.. Yup.. The thing that pisses me off about Nichols.. Hes a quitter. He quits on plays. He gets happy feet when he takes 1 hit or feels any sort of pressure.. But.. The quitting part.. The slide when Whitehead is wide open.. That is the problem.

How is this irrational? Like using these words dont make it so. Nichols is a proven mediocre maybe avg but likely below average cfl starting QB.. Yeah he's won a few games but.. Many because of the D.

You cant win games if you aren't starting.. Guy was a rookie btw last year so not sure about what u are getting at here. Streveler brings the fire.. The psssion.. The ability to fight off tackles and run and lay the SmackDown. Your mates see that.. They are pumped. U see a guy giving up... U do too.

Ill take the unknown exciting young guy over Nichols. Lets keep in mind Football is entertainment here... Nichols just isn't good enough tho.. 200 consistently in the CFL.. Over 400k.. How can u justify that in a cap world
