Its not like they haven't found ppl. . Its weird how this seems focused on the O... Our QB has been complete crap.. Bond, Fogg, Sayles, just no all stars yet, but they are working on it.

Hes been quite below average tho. Thats the bottom line in the CFL.. Your team basically is as good as your QB. Ours has been bad. The consensus appears to be that Nichols was brought back too soon. If true, who's fault is that, if anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17to85 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I actually don't think it's an injury with Nichols, I think it's Harris and Dressler more than anything else. It's no secret that those two guys are tailor made for the offense that Lapolice likes to run, and they have put some hard hard miles on Harris' body this year. I suspect that he is hurting but soldiering through it because that's the kind of player he is, and with Dressler out that's one less crutch in the offense. Lapolice of course has never been good at adjusting and adapting so without those guys being at 100% the offense is faltering, especially when teams know that taking away Harris is priorities 1-6 in their defensive game plan.

I don't see how Nichols missing wide open guys is because of Dressler... also Harris running for 150 is a guy slowing down and worn out? I see wide open players in w hich Nichols does not see and/or is not hitting them on target. No idea how this is Lapo's fault?

They run a lot of short patterns, resulting in multiple receivers in the same zone 2. Receivers are often stationary when the ball arrives - it’s really odd how often that happens Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right Nichols missing open targets is not Lapo's fault but with Dressler out and Harris spent that limits Lapos chosen scheme and it may be that he is not adjusting his scheme well enough for Dresslers replacement and tailback options other than Harris.

Can't comment aside from the Ottawa game I went to. He had wide open guys and did not look to them and ended up tossing into double coverage. The 5 int's from last game clearly shows that he is missing by quite a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR. CFL Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I would like to see QB stats revised. A clearing catchable ball that is dropped should not be an incompletion on the QB, how about an E “error” to the WR. Also a ball tipped by the WR again, that was catchable, that is then intercepted.....why should that go against the QB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, who's fault is that, if anyone? Consensus? Really... You think legit Drs brought him back 2 soon and thats why he sucks now? I dont think so. Somebody a bit ago said it best.. Nichols is trying to be Reilly this year but is turning quickly in to Willy instead. He threw 5 picks last game in 1 half.. A couple negated due to penalty but 5 picks to me suggests his problems are mental... Hes got that deer in headlights happy feet thing going on.

Nichols sucked when Dressler wasnt hurt and Harris was going beast mode. Fact is.. He throws for roughly 200 or less yards a game and has since hes been back. Zero 300 yard passing games.. 11 Tds 12 Ints on the year... He has thrown for roughly 1900 yards this season... Thats legit like 200 on avg per game.

That statistic pretty much reflect how both Nichols' and the Bombers' year has gone and is likely to continue. At this point,even a .500 season seems unlikely.

DR. CFL Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Well all the Coaches on here seem to want the green rookie to play. Everyone’s favourite the back up QB and the back up goalie...until you get a steady diet of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSkunk Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 It's all we got to go to is the backup QB......let's see what he has...... heck at this point I wanna see the third stringer as well..... how else we gonna find who we need at the position....
