Not as interested in this game as I am the next, but here we go Think the storyline here is ... Madu vs Stanback Those 2 have been each team's biggest weapons Could be fun

So ... Guessing Forde and Black are calling this game? Also, Zontar must be at it cuz he's been quiet all day

Which is why you give him his reps to break him in. BUT .... Big difference between that and starting him over Nichols

But still well short of when Dunnigan is out there doing it

Well made I need to search the word 300 yards in the thread and see how much it comes up from people not me. Or how many times people keep on complaining about my position about passing yards being meaningless. Cuz they are, they're meaningless.

Hey Ernie, no we never made a big deal about Nichols constantly only throwing about 200 yards or less a game. No no no, we never said that at all. Oh and how bout those deep balls? We never ripped on him saying he couldn't throw those. Nope, never ever did that. LOL

LOL IDGAF about passing yards .... Oh wait yes I do when I can cherry pick up this little 17 for 85 stat out of them. LOL

I trust to bet on Stampeder lunch money getting stolen in less than 12 hours now 34-19 Hamilton

We also were without Bighill on defense and lost Hecht there too. Other side of the ball yes but also allowed the Argos a little more ease at keeping the ball and maybe a little less TOP for us. But yes, the play calling does change when we're up big and Lapolice will usually stop calling those deep balls at that point. So yes, the passing yards spigot will be shut off and rushing yards one turned on. Bottom line though is this team is built to win off of playmakers like Whitehead and Nelson, and the defense is also key. A team that's complete in all 3 phases.

Bert: Hey Ernie ... this Matt Nichols guy is starting to throw deep balls on us and cause TDs to happen Ernie: Oh no Bert, we can't have that, he's starting to debunk our theory on him as a game manager Bert: Ernie, we need to move the goal posts again and throw his deep ball passes out the window and only count his short passes averaging out to 17 attempts for 85 yards Ernie: Great idea Bert, we'll nail him to the wall now

Says it all right there

I think they're both pretty smart QBs really. Let's see if I can put it this way ... I just think with his pretty consistent completion ℅, TD to INT ratio, and ability to make most if not all the throws you want to see from a QB, Nichols does that more often than not. Streveler can make some pretty good ones too I think but his sample size is still limited and hard to say how consistent he is with those. I'll give that Streveler can scramble and that can be an element that fans enjoy seeing and getting their excitement from. But being a pocket passer like Nichols is doesn't mean it makes him less potent as a QB. I think the problem is we're kinda talking about the potential of one QB vs another. I actually do have an open enough mind to believe Streveler could be a better QB than Nichols in terms of potential, but when looking at purely actual play and results on the field, he's not proven it yet. There have been many QBs with potential who never turned it into greatness. So like I said, I was quite serious about wanting to see Streveler on the field more tonight. If he's better than Nichols, then good, I've been wanting to see another Danny McManus arise from here. I just want to see the actual results prove this, not prognostication.

No, you just only believe passing yards matter if Nichols is under center and throw them out the window for everyone else. You're on a witch hunt and that's how it's done. You just bring up the fake stats outside of Nichols deep balls because they have to mean something to you. Well too damn bad cuz they don't. This is phony propaganda and you'll never prove otherwise.

Of course you don't cuz your a goal post moving phony narrative witch hunter. It only matters if it's Nichols under center and nobody else. You sir are way out on a mad man fishing expedition

Yup as well as other teams in whose QBs like Mike Reilly also have sub 300 yards. This is fake stat phony propaganda at its finest. End of debate.

I wouldn't pay any attention to goalie, he's building a phony narrative based on stats he can't account for or the circumstances surrounding them. I wonder where he was last night when Reilly had similar numbers.

He had over 100 yards on the ground again tonight so this is a phony narrative. Ridiculous and baseless argument

Yeah cuz I guess our team can only move the ball in the air and has no running game or kick returners ... Oh wait

WRONG!!! Guess you forgot Andrew Harris picks up a bunch of those on the the ground

Lord almighty it just doesn't stop with these nuts on their fishing expedition. Man ... Lol "hot garbage" in the second half. Yeah, I'm certain Lapolice's usual conservative ways when having a big lead or getting a bit shaken from a hit had nothing to do with that. Nothing at all lol I actually am disappointed I didn't see more of Streveler has in this game because I would have enjoyed .... 1. Discussing his play as a scrambling game manager 2. Turning the attempts by the witch hunters to use him as an anti Nichols propaganda vehicle against them. The Nichols detractors can never put their money where their mouth is, how bout they do it for once? Lol

Really? And all this time I thought I kept hearing he was a lousy deep ball thrower

Well, here we go, let's see Streveler actually proves to be more than a game manager

Well, I don't think we're going to face a defense quite like that Stampeder defense we saw the last couple years, so call me not as worried this time. But I say let's just keep it focused here and now and worry about the playoffs when they get here.

Unfortunately, Derek Jones just isn't Hecht .... Yet. Oh well, the no TD streak was going to end sooner or later. Also, looks like the James Franklin experiment is now over.

Man yeah he should be looking for Demski going on deep routes burning defenders and hitting him in stride. Nichols must stop holding this offense back and start throwing deep balls to Adams and Demski right now. We cannot win with a game manager .... Ohh wait
