It just seems to me that Streveler struggling has made people revert to the idea that Nichols will bring this team success rather than the more likely scenario that this team has no good QBs on the current roster. 7-2 under Nichols was very clearly a mirage based on an easy strength of schedule and timely scores on D and special teams. In Streveler starts, the Bombers have one defensive and one special teams touchdown. That plays a massive role. And again, not excusing the play of Streveler at all. I agree there is tons be upset about with both qbs and things to like about each. It’s also easy to say Nichols wouldn’t/ would have made a difference when he didn’t play these game at all. We’re talking about events that didn’t happen and pretty sure no one here can see into different timelines haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickem Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Let's remember the announcement was made that we are not bringing in another qb....'no plan to bring one in'...says the gm and coach.....That was the signal that this season is over........One playoff win in the last 5 yrs.....30 yrs. plus without a Cup...I wonder how that's going to go down with the faithful...Not well and the knives are starting to be unsheathed as we post I would say Edited October 6, 2019 by Stickem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't say on one hand Streveler is better & we'll play better with him starting & then when things crash down it's because he has little experience. Can't have it both ways. There are times when he gets a game plan suited to his strengths and he looks like a juggernaut. He’s a guy who can take over a game and make something happen. That’s been born out already. Can you say the same thing about Nichols? I’m not disagreeing that we likely would have a better record with Nichols .. but I’m also not confident he’ll take us further than we’ve been already.

Mark H. Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 When the D plays like they did tonight, Nichols wins, period. The team has lost 3 games in a row, which is bad enough, but in two of those games they beat themselves. Montreal a failure by the D, Sask a failure by the O. And whoever is complaining about the D tonight needs to just go to bed. BigBlueFanatic, Dodge and Burn, rebusrankin and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All things being equal, it comes down to LaPo's offense & playcalling. Put Nichols in a Tommy Condell offense with those Ti Cat receivers & he easily has a thousand more yards passing. Same with Streveler. He'd actually get some qb coaching & probably would be a lot better. Our qbs are stuck in a slow, ponderous & unimaginative offense with an OC who sucks the life out of every player.

I thought the play calling was poor, Harris was under-utilized and every team will want to make Streveler throw the ball. On the big Demski interception on one of the replays from behind the QB it looked like Adams was open on the right side before Streveler threw the ball. In real-time, yes i thought he was offside, but after watching the replay and rewinding to watch again, he was onside... Timed his run really well.

Lapo is what he is... curls, hooks and 'safe' check downs Janarion Grant beat Calgary not Lapo... Streveler beat Sask only because Lapo was forced to out of his safe zone for one game - now he's back to forcing Streveler to play pocket passer or fullback AB BomberFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deiter Fan Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 24 minutes ago, Tiny759 said: I think the op is just pointing out the double standard, that Nichols got a lot of unwarranted hate, while lots loved strev and thought he would be way better than Nichols. I'm not sure people thought he'd be way better...more like he'd bring more variety to the game plan. Unfortunately I think many casual observers are starting to realize that regardless who our QB is we're going to have difficulty succeeding with LaPo calling the games. That being said Chris is hanging on to the ball way too long...but...ironically that was one of the knocks on Matt too. I don't know why that is. Just about every other team's QBs manage to get off a lot of really quick passes. Slants...hitches (with blocking in place). Matt's upside was eating it or throwing it out if he didn't feel comfortable. Chris tries to force it. I feel for Chris. I have no doubt he's feeling an incredible amount of pressure to take what was billed as a Grey Cup contender all the way which I think influences some of his poor decisions. He's trying to make up for some pretty suspect play calling with some pretty suspect decisions. Not a great combo.
