Well that about ends it. Refs really caving to Dickinson. Suddenly a disciplined team just gets a ton of flags. 

Blatant hold on Bighill.

What was Fogg doing on that coverage?

Cant wait for the usual post game verbal trash from MOS "Proud of my guys, everyone played hard, no one wanted it more than Nichols, he's our guy, we believe in him". Couple that with the whole coaching staff back next season and the wash and repeat early playoff exits will continue. Status quo.

MOS needed to call a challenge on the Sayles pi

Brutal PI call and brutal non-call on a blatant hold.

Too bad our O doesn't throw the ball downfield and give the refs a chance to help us out too.

Nichols needs to go. Loss falls solely on his shoulders.

Our D has been lights out.

Nichols better be done here. Wasted a great defensive game.

Nichols can't even get a TD on the board when the game is in doubt.  You can't go into a heavyweight fight with a guy who can't land a punch.

Remember that wide open TD Streveler missed? Stfu

Lol QFT. You usually need to throw the ball further than 10 yards to get a PI call.

Haha you want to criticize ONE missed play? Nichols hasn't made more than 2 or 3 all night. 

Nichols has under 100 yards passing you obtuse moron. Admit that you're wrong for once.

HELP US CHARLES NELSON YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE.

Please, please, please let this be the end of the Matt Nichols era.

In the CFL that is ****ing unfathomable. I cant even wrap my head around that stat.

What am I wrong about? The offense was trash. Passing game was brutal. Play calling was brutal. Go on and correct me.

Embarrassing performance on O today. 

Our Oline, Quarterbacks, and Recievers all struggled the entire time.

Streveler had one play, Nichols had the game. And a mistake by Streveler doesn’t make all of Nichols’ mistakes excusable. 

Are we going to find our downfield passing game in the final 3 minutes of the game?

And Plap calls a run up the middle.  Unreal.

That Nichols is exempt from criticism. That's what you're wrong about. This loss falls SOLELY on his shoulders alone.

Sure. I don't disagree. But the entire offence was brutal. Pretending otherwise is silly. I just can't abide by the people saying this is 100% on Nichols.

Not likely.

LaPolice coaching like we are up 10. 

I’ve always defended Lapo. Really hard to do that today. What an awful game. No answers whatsoever.
