I believe the direct snap to Briggs on the punt fake was an O'Shea twist that we wouldn't have seen previously under.....whatever his name was. **** Tracey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 So Nicholls on 10 days can throw balls 20 hard down the field and check down to walker and Marshall. Brohm in 2 years is limited to 5 yard curls... I don't get this team. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 But they weren't on a short leash... We kept Brohm in despite stinking it up pretty much 100% of the time this year.

Taynted_Fayth Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I think noeller said it best, with willy in, hes made mb's offense look good at times this year, so I think its hugely attributed to whose running the O on feild, but mb stinks anyways so hes not without blame Noeller and Fatty Liver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nichols did enough in the first half to lose this game if we're playing anyone but Brett Smith, who can't pass the ball to save his life. Nice to have a QB who has a clue in the passing game again.

Special teams coach would put the fakes into the gameplan based on the other teams tendencies, but that call always comes from the head coach.

Taynted_Fayth Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I think alot has to do also with the fact nichols isnt a raw rookie backup, the guy was edmontons projected starter prior to injury n them winning the reilly sweepstakes from bc. Is he a world beater... no, but he doesnt need a dumbed down playbook and is game ready. Im rewatching 2nd half, so nice to see competence. Im stoked for next game and dear football god, please let those uniforms be a permanent fixture SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brings back the never ending question, is it Brohm or Marcel? Can't it be both? Sure, and we will know for sure once they're both sent on their way. I think a number of posters had it right last week when they said Sask. did not respect Brohm's ability to find a receiver more than 5 yards down field and they took advantage of that. Everybody knows that Brohm has a decent arm but unfortunately he has zero confidence in his abilities. Likewise everybody knows that Nichols is going to throw the occasional interception but he has the confidence to keep throwing the ball downfield and does not get easily discouraged much like Joey Elliot. In doing so he exposed Sask, D for what they really are, the very worst in the league. SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He earns his respect by making passes and plays with his legs.. Marve and brohm get no respect and rightly so. nichols is simply superior to both of them. So glad we stole him from EDM.

Goalie Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Nichols had just about more passing yards this game than brohm and Marve combined the last 2 games. He might have had more too. 400 total yards for the O. After the slow first half... Nichols lit it up really. Not sure I get the posts giving Nichols a tough time or Longo for that matter. Takes time to get adjusted and once they did... Much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan007 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I think we're just so used to how bad MB is, that when his O becomes even slightly effective, we start thinking it's a masterpiece. Nichols took a while to warm up, but once he got familiar with the receivers he was able to light it up a bit in the second half. SO happy he is here.

blueandgoldguy Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Nicholls is a decent backup but not an ideal long-term solution as a starter. Too many miscues and mistakes. Moves the ball but is also prone to an inordinate number of INTs and fumbles. Solid performance tonight despite the mistakes. I will be fine with bringing him back next season as long as the Bomber braintrust brings in some legit competition for the backup role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportmentary2012 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 It's been a long, long wait but I think Nichols is the reliable backup QB the Bombers have been waiting for. His game was far from perfect but he showed enough intelligence and understanding of the system in one short week than any other QB has shown in many years. I called this win after last game. I knew Nicols would give the team the lift they needed. He made plays in the second half that were 'Willy-esque' and his enthusiasim was contagious. However, it was only one game and against a SASK team that finds ways to lose. The good news is he came to play in the second half and will only get more comfortable with the system and is able t oexecute Bell-fails game plan. The bad news is that without a monster effort from the 'd' and the Riders failing to take advanatge of all but one turnover this game is over in the first half.

That's taking it too far, Lirim and Stoudermire are becoming the "usual suspects" in regard to ST errors. Stoudermire looked better on his returns tonight but he fumbled the ball on hits at least twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
