The offense needs to take some risks, Nichols needs to take some risks.  I know their success since the Sask games has been the opposite and protecting the ball at all costs, but this is a game where you need 30 points minimum to win, no less than 3 offensive TD's.   To do that the ball needs to move into tight windows.

Nichols looks absolutely shook since that sack by Micah Johnson, he's scrambling before one steamboat on most pass plays.

Bo Levi is quite the athlete ,making it look easy. Bob And Tait gushing at half time.....

Relax guys, it’s still a one possession game at half

We’ve seen this movie before. It doesn’t end well. 

Hopefully Dickenson has had his depends changed at the half. What a whiney *****.

True. I mean our QB'ing couldn't be any worse than it was in that first half so there's only one direction to go from here!

Nichols favourite play, roll out throw it in the 3rd row, seriously run the ball and throw 10 yard passes really not capable than anymore than that.

Why not bring in Streveler?

35 passing yards lol

Calgary DBs are blanketing the receivers. But Lapo needs to get more aggressive.

Craig Roh was such an underrated pickup by Walters

D stepping up.  O needs to match.

The way Nichols is so tentative throwing you'd think our receivers were being covered by 5 circa 1991 Deion Sanders's

This is Nichols last game as a starter. Calling it now. Just doesn't have what it takes.

Fingers crossed.

He tucks the ball at the first sign of pressure and just waits to get hit.

And we can't even get a call. Classic. What a ******* joke.

What a F*&^%$#ng horseshit call.

Wish we could see some replays of the whole field.  Seems like we’re constantly running hook routes with Adams occasionally going deep.

What say you DD? All calls to MOS?

What a horrible penalty on Loffler.
