Start introducing her as "your first wife" and she will get the message eventually.

It's my fault. I was single when we last won the cup, got married the July following and we haven't won since.
I've told my wife we need a divorce for the sake of the team. She tells me I can't afford it.

Exactly. When Nichols was walking the last few meters into the tunnel, he was not supporting or cradling his arm and he allowed it to swing a bit as he walked. With this evidence, it looks more like a strain or sprain which did not look to be severe. He may not start next week, but with the help of better living through chemistry, he could probably play but would have lost some strength and range of motion. If this was Reilly, we wouldn't be having this discussion at all.

????..... a minor injury could totally explain some of Mattys bad throws this year.  Sure he started great last night,  but then the freezing and/or Meds wore off,  and then whatever may have been bothering him reared its ugly head again.  Then having a big dude wipe him out from behind and land on him with all his weight made whatever was wrong even worse.   Some guys are tougher at handling that stuff....it's just my theory.  
I hope he is okay,  he was making the throws early we all wanted to see..... if he is out for any amount of time I hope it is not enough to affect his play when he returns... especially the playoffs.

Fyi it's stupid shitblike this that makes people think you're a troll. Toughness has very little to do with injuries, especially qbs and throwing arms. Dont be a ****.

I disagree. IMO we finally did something unpredictable...we put in our running qb. Football is a team game, and they have to work together to make it happen. Putting in Streveler created confusion, and diverted a portion of their attention away from Harris. I've been bashing LaPo repeatedly, and now I get to praise him.

Grant.....speed and great vision
Harris....if he's not there we're toast
Sayles....tremendous game
HH.....that sweet kick from 55 by Medlock was amazing

I've read every comment on this thread, and really folks, nothing is going to change. Nichols is our starter, end of story. Our offence is far too predictable, and when we didn't do the predictable thing at the end and put in Streveler we moved the ball. Why?? Because Calgary now had to divide their attention between Harris and Streveler. 
I blame a lot of our troubles on coaching. And like someone said, if two of those deep balls get caught, everything changes.

I think I might know.....

you know what, Nichols was OK tonight. He hardly saw the field in the first half because the returners took it too the house or fumbled and the D was complete **** letting the stamps move the length of the field. 
Yeah the throw to Wolitarsky on 2nd down last in the game was a bad throw, but one throw doesn't decide his game. He hit Wolitarsky deep in the endzone that was called no catch and hit matthews deep on a nice throw that was dropped and his stats look a hell of a lot better. 
The problem in this game was entirely the super soft defense we saw at times and the completely horrendous display of tackling. 
but they won and **** the stampeders. 

Thank heaven and god almighty for Andrew Harris. But man, if he ever gets hurt is this offence gonna be in trouble.

HH to Nichols for properly executing QB Kneel formation after Streveler closed things out.

They need better depth at the OT position - we’re stacked with guys who can play inside. 

If it comes down to having to trade one of the two, I'm going to trade Nichols and keep the young guy. I like our current qb tandem, but would like to see Streveler utilized more. Especially when the offence is struggling.

The deal is to get Bull Streveler more reps, with expanded O package, down the stretch and know more about what we have here.....

Go.wash.your.mouth.out.with.soap.

Next year will be yr 3 for Strev...and if we keep him will be in same system with relatively the same supporting cast.
I think if we win the Cup..we either trade Nichols if there is a taker..a team like Toronto could be a suitor considering they just traded for Collaros.
We roll with Strevler..tweek and reconfigure the offense a bit to maximize his strengths but still build and develop his passing.
He can pass more than adequately and as the main man..getting first team reps and not having to run gimmick and special schemes he will do just fine.
As of now he is put in to run plays with limited options for him..so if the main read isnt there he basically has not much else to go to and relies on his legs
It's not a matter of him just always taking off after one read as many think..its basically be design/circumstance.. next time you are at a game live watch what's going on around him on the field with options and receivers...you dont get the full picture on the tsn feed

If you are hypersensitive to criticism, you should stay out of professional sports, stand-up comedy and politics. 

exactly.....the line seems to have run-blocking down pretty good, but pass-block and blitz protection are suspect. Must remember we have 3 interior guys with extremely limited experience

Irrelevant. Besides that Nichols isn't nearly as mentally weak as Glenn. He's probably a less talented player with a stronger mental game which puts them on roughly equal footing. 

Well for starters, I don't believe Nichols is a bad player so your argument really doesn't get off the ground there. Neither do I think Nichols is a great quarterback either. I think he's a guy a lot like Kevin Glenn where he can do enough to win games if the rest of the team is on board with that. 
So here is what I think, I think that Lapo is a horrible play caller, and that's been something that comes up every stop along the way. It's not that he's a bad coordinator, he is just a horrible in game coach, which makes it hard on his offense to run at a high efficiency regardless of who is behind centre. 
Look no further than BC for an example of a known good qb struggling without the support from a good game plan (because let's face it, Reilly could get a lot more help from his OC despite the talent problems on that team). 
Guys like you have written Nichols off as terrible and there's just no two ways about that. He's a guy who isn't terrible though, he just needs a lot of help to get the most out of him and right now he's not getting it from his OC who likes to play passive in close games or with a lead. It's the whole ******* reason he was fired as head coach here!
