JuranBoldenRules Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 As always can’t go quarters and halves without making a throw. This has been Nichols issue back to Edmonton. Once again we’re a couple first downs from a win and he can’t convert the second down to keep the offense on the field. And we lose. deepsixemtoboyd, AKAChip, rebusrankin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streveler is green as grass. Maybe he can win games. Maybe he can't. It's true he may or may not win. Virtually every team in the league is on qb2 right now. And future stars are always abound. Some Ricky ray driving a Frito truck or Kurt Warner bagging groceries. Nichols failed to win the game when put in a great position tnite. Didn't even need to score just move the ball and finish the game. And lost it last week. May or may not win is better then won't win and might lose you the game. But you're right. Mos won't make the change him self any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doublezero Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 We're going to lose Streveler next year if we don't start to groom him to start, now. How can they not see that? trueBlue83 and deepsixemtoboyd 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKAChip Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 This is the kind of thing you either live with when Nichols is your QB, or you have to make a change. He’s not suddenly going to become a different guy at this point in his career. He can have good games and is certainly capable but the fear always was that this team is too good at too many spots to leave it up to a QB who frequently isn’t good enough and will rarely, if ever put the team on his back. I don’t expect changes this season, and Lapo shares a ton of blame for this, but games like this will be an issue for as long as Nichols is the QB of the Bombers. And you have to hope he gets them out of the way when the games don’t really matter. wbbfan and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueBlue83 Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Dane Evans, needs 5 yards for the first down, throws it 7! Mind boggled! Maybe the Bomber offence shouldnt be watching their own game film this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandgoldguy Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I don't understand why we are not seeing Streveler in for a series or two during every game... or at least a few snaps say after a short plunge on 2nd or 3rd and short. I thought they intended to use him more this season? deepsixemtoboyd and TBURGESS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can they not see that? I'm not sure Streveler is the answer, but what we have between him and our #3 might be. Honestly, Strev can hand the ball off just as well and can extend the play too. I'll take my chances on his passing. deepsixemtoboyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKAChip Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 The thing that’s the most telling is that we do often have games where Streveler plays a reasonable number of snaps. They also usually are the games where Nichols is in a groove and playing reasonably well. He gets almost nothing in games where Nichols is struggling. deepsixemtoboyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen too much of the same **** now since he got here. It's not coaching, Bombers have a problem at the QB position. I've been saying this since mid-2017. Lapo is coaching to Nichols strengths, scant as they may be. Imagine if Nichols had been starting for Toronto tonight and if Bethel Thompson had been starting for Winnipeg - do you think Argos would have won?

It would be great if Bombers gave Streveler more playing time going forward. I think he'll get better with more real time reps. And let him run the entire O package - not just QB keepers and run options. deepsixemtoboyd and trueBlue83 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't every game matter? 2 points is 2 points and if we need these 2 points at the end of the year this game is just as important as any other.

With a league this week, every game doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. Losing to this Argos team is unacceptable on a number of levels but better to happen in August than November.
