It's about how people interpret what he said. It's about saying anything at all that could be misconstrued and it's about making that same mistake two weeks in a row. Better just to say mea culpa then go out and play football. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were one of the receivers and my Qb said that, I would probably take offense. It's one thing to talk about these issues in the locker room, but to say it on tsn in a interview is a little harsh. It wasn't a tsn interview, it was a cjob interview, you go look at the entire question and answer (believe Bob Irving even tweeted it for your convenience) and tell me if it sounds remotely like what TSN blew it up into.

The offense just never did their part. Still not completely convinced, but If you say this another thirty or forty times, I will be convinced that the D played great !

Better just to say mea culpa then go out and play football. I say this incalculably begrudgingly: you're absolutely right. Nichols should've said nothing or just gave some canned response. No harm, no foul. That being said, I don't know if his teammates took offense to any of it. Personally, I doubt they could give a wet fart. They're pro athletes and the majority of them have pretty thick skin. I also think they have better things to do than attempt to interpret what their obviously frustrated and underachieving QB said in a post-game presser.

Booch Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Regardless what or how he said it...he should have just said that things weren't working and he was just missing on some plays/throws If I was to hear that as a teamate it would raise my eyebrows..as I am sure as others...and is a good way to start a crack in fracturing team chemistry and dividing a room....also..I can bet that there were some receivers..possibly others who under their breathes..or in private convo's most likely said...well..how bout you make some of them damn throws when we "are" open Stickem, Ripper and Tracker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that. I read it and you're right, that's not exactly what he said, so my apologies. But it was close, and as others on here have mentioned, his teammates could take offense to the comment, or they could just shrug it off. I didn't realize this was discussed to death on your Boo Nichols page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest J5V Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 He still didn't let Nichols off the hook. Milt went on to say ... “Also with saying that though, as a starting quarterback — as a leader of a team — I need Matt Nichols to say, take more of the blame. That’s what I don’t hear out of Matt Nichols.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
