I meant like, time will tell this year, like by october/November we will know.

I get this. And I feel the same. I'm just not sure how losing game 7 of 18 changes the overall goal? In fact I would bet that it doesnt at all. I know losing to the last place team sucks, but when good teams play badly....theyll generally lose. Is the goal to win every regular season game? Or to get to the playoffs and fight for the GC? If people thought 18-0 was even slightly a possibility, they were delusional. I'd rather this team lose to the Argos and ticats than the stamps and esks. The only time we will really see if Nichols and this team has what it takes to win a GC is October-November. Everything else is just preparing for that. As of right now they're still in a good position.

Saw that too, but during the last game they talked about how he hasnt thrown a ball past 10yrds yet. So I wouldn't bet money on his return this week.

It's just such a foreign concept. Hopefully Lapo will adjust, I'm sure now that the secret is out that a qb doesnt do well under pressure every DC in the league will plan to pressure him.

I dont know. I prefer, we're 0-2 the last two weeks with no possible hope of making the playoffs.

Who could have guessed that a qb wouldn't like pressure....truly ground breaking stuff on the forum these days.

If you cant understand how Oline play affects the qb, you should really go to a football 101 course wherever you can find one.

This forum is a becoming a ******* mess. Win 5 in july... grey cup bound, lose 2 in July, fire everyone and look forward to 2020. And of course... "Dont see the pro Nichols crowd out" while conveniently forgetting they were gone during the winning. Lol. Its Aug 5th, bombers are 5 and 2 tied for 1st with room for improvement. Hope you all enjoyed the long weekend!.

In the big picture you're right, he got us to 5-2 after 7 games. Beginning of the year I'd take that. Yesterday was ****, and I'm sick if Nichols panicked and outlet passes, but...still lots of games to go for the team. Hopefully Streveler starts seeing some significant time.

Jefferson Harris The refs who cant seem to figure out what holding is. Kongbo looked real solid.

Nichols will need to win a gc to restore my confidence. I called a Streveler take over around this time of the year during the off season. But after their start didnt think it would happen. It needs to

How did they get that spot soooooooo wrong?

Its not the calls, it's the overall strategy. Protect the ball no matter what. Never take the chances. Are you telling me you've never seen a game like this from a Lapo led offense? It's his calling card. Nichols didnt help. But Lapo is who he is. Nichols just makes it even worse.

This game was not one or the other. It was both.

I agree. But he had at least 2 drops. Good/leading receivers get open. And nichols needs to force it to him as well. Let the big man go get it.

Decades of evidence suggest otherwise. This is not new with Lapo. Though I'm not getting Nichols off the hook either.

That's legitimately all he did. Was a decent play but nothing special. Matthew's wants to be a game changer, he better step up....he can go watch Walkers film for a lesson.

I agree. But that's Lapo with a lead. Just ******* gives up.

FTFY...the 1st half had every O player that could touch the ball, touch the ball. 2nd half they folded.

Speed, high point/body control/attacking the ball/pure size. We have the rec cor to go down field. ******* force it!!! Nichols was ****. Lapo was ****, though at least he actually stayed with the one part of the O that is working. Speaking of Harris, ball security is now an issue. Matthews was ****. Lucky was **** Bighill needs to ******* show up I saw this coming today, but giving up a 20 point lead is hard to watch. These guys better stop believing the hype. 5-5 can come real quick.

You don't find out if you're the best by playing the worst.

It's mostly because regardless of facts or others consistently proving you wrong, you hold on to those opinions. Maybe a better term would be stubborn.

I believe the MR and BLM contracts won't be the norm going forward for QBs. CGY has been able to make a go of it so far, we will see what happens come the 2nd half. And BC is struggling mostly due to MR contract (my opinion anyway).

Agreed, Argos have some talent on both sides of the ball. Just haven't been able to put it together at all...that and their coaches have been total dipshits the entire year.

Should also be noted, that Nichols did that exact thing last year vs CGY....so they are basically just wrong. He hasn't done it this year, but he only needed to once (Even though the run game was working it was just ignored for some odd reason) but had a few of his big time receivers out due to injury. So while I think you're just a troll Northernskunk, you're also horribly wrong in this case along with Burris and Stegall. This basically just comes down to people wanting Nichols to do something, just for shits and giggles. If there's no need, there's no need.
