WBBFanWest Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 3 hours ago, Throw Long Bannatyne said: Nichols said after the bye week that he was 100% healthy, if he lied about his health to rush back in than that is an issue as well. From his previous experience with Jones in Edm. I'm sure he's been left with all sorts of mental scarring after being replaced and discarded. Going on a limb here, but I'd suggest that he didn't come off the 6 game until he had medical clearance to do so. If that's the case, the medical staff had to sign off on him coming back, so a lie about his health would only take him so far. I'm also confident that the medical staff would expect that he'd say he's ready before he actually was. Healthy might not be exactly the same thing as game ready.

trueBlue83 Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 I'll gladly have a chat with anyone who is a fan of CFL football. most rational Bomber fans I would think are much the same. I don't have much time for the poser football "elitists" who trash on the CFL and think they're above watching it because 'I'm an NFL fan' . Good for you... I don't mind the NFL either, but it doesn't mean I try and pretend I'm above watching the Canadian game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened in one of the early games this season. O was struggling, Streveler went in, (forget why) team got fired up, then Nichols went back in and did well.

I think Strevelers mobility and willing to throw while running hard is partly what makes everyone look more fired up when he is successful.

Streveler wasnt likely to fall through the cracks, he had NFL camp invites but came here because we offered him a contract. The guys raw tools are off the charts. Led an offense with zero turn overs for a year and change. A guy like him would have bounced around TCs and PRs for a couple years before falling back down to the cfl then possibly through the cracks. If we had durant, and nichols, streveler wouldnt have fallen out. Our franchise wastes no time in spitting out QBs who dont have what we look for. So a guy WITH the tools we want is gonna stick.

Bubba Zanetti Posted August 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Heard Nichols' interview from today after practice and he was asked about the boos and his post-game comments. His response was along the lines of "i didnt really mean it, ive been booed before, i dont know why it got so blown out of proportion". A little bit of backtracking. He sure sounded like he meant it at the time. Edited August 22, 2018 by Bubba Zanetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree this was blown out of proportion cause most fans were booing cause they wanted to see more of Streveler and were disappointed in MOS decision when the game was out of hand. We all know Nichols is our No.1 .The backup Qb is always the favourite when the game is a blowout. Nothing new here.

I really am hard pressed to remember when the Bombers actually played a complete 4 quarter game. Seems there always was 1 or 2 quarters where they really did not do much.

Plenty of games during Cal's tenure as well. Since then it has been very inconsistent. Chances of it happening this weekend are between 0% and 1.0E-06%. I'll stop short of calling this weeks game a guaranteed loss, but it is going to be pretty close to that. It will be a miracle if they don't get the boots put to them good by Calgary and manage a respectable loss.
