Matt Nichols is the worst starting QB in the CFL

Title says it all.  Underwhelming performance after underwhelming performance this year.  He has not had one good performance, let alone a great one, this season.

Playcalling could have been better but Nichols was terrible when it mattered most.

His final passes of the game ....2 completions out of 10 with 1 pick to end the game.

Totals for the game 14/26 53.8% completion rate 1 TD 2 INT

This is not a hot take.  He has been below average all season.  I'm not sure if he can find his 2016/early 2017 self again.

  • I don't think it is an issue with the play calling...hard to determine if it is Nichol's not being able to execute on all the options, or gets jitters and just want to dump it off for fear of getting

    You watch BLM and Reilly and how they can move in the pocket, step up, step around the rush and get out of the pocket when it is the right play.  You can't defend against that.  Then watch Nichols thi

Pretty depressing actually reading through this thread. Couple of things come to mind:

If it's working, why change it?? First half we roll the pocket and run the ball hard. And we move the ball. Why would we change ??

I completely agree we need to see more of Streveler. Keep him in after he does the second or third down sneak, and change the look of the offence. Hmmm, I just said why would we change things. I'm not advocating for a full qb change, just a different look for a series and then back to Nicholls.

Personally we should've killed Regina, they scored 14 points off of 2 plays that simply shouldn't happen. This week in our barn I think we kick their ass.

If there is a single Bombers' coach that is tonedeaf to the ire and vocal disapproval of fans - it is Mike O'Shea.

Agreed, and it will take a really desperate situation for O'Shea to consider replacing Nichols and even then, it will probably be for a couple of plays. Lets face it. O'Shea has bound his fate to both Hall and Nichols and they will all succeed or fall together.

I think any coach who bends to the wishes of the fans, like us, is not a good coach. With that said any coach who cannot see that their offense has stalled, continues to stall in the second half of what the last 3 games, and does absolutely nothing about it other than try to justify it through stats, also is not a good coach. So either way you look at it MOS is not really a good coach and frankly doubt he will ever bring a Grey Cup to Winnipeg.

Sorry but this makes no sense. I would describe O'Shea as an incomplete coach. Good in some respects, lousy in others. A Grey Cup could still come with some good fortune.

O'Shea is a great coach when they're winning, frustrating when they're losing, first thing he needs to do is get his momentum detector fixed.

 it just so happens that the woman who runs their social media is an absolute moron, I'd be pretty annoyed by it.

Rheanne is a clown to put it mildly.
