Game Day Thread- Week Twenty Three, WESTERN FINAL: Winnipeg Blue Bombers @ Calgary Stampeders November 18th, 2018

[Scorch]

I wouldn’t put so much blame on Nichols as much as Bombers recievers and Harris. They should’ve caught the straight up catches

You’re absolutely right that the offence was brutal but how much of that is having a QB that can’t get playmakers the ball and caves under the slightlest pressure? Most would argue a lot of it. 

GFT! How many times did we have pressure on Mitchell today???? More than Nichols had pressure on him. Yet Mitchell continues to look downfield and make plays. Nichols gets happy feet and shits his pants.

[BomberBall]

That was PI on Adams.  Terrible.

The controversy is that people will continue to defend Nichols regardless of how many embarrassing performances he puts up. This Bomber team was really good at almost every position but Nichols was routinely below average and frequently abysmal. It’s the attitude of blaming the rest of the team and not holding Nichols accountable that keeps us in perennial mediocrity. You cannot win it all with a QB like Nichols unless literally everything else goes right. This isn’t how you win with regularity in the CFL. 

We were really good at the receiver position? 

Our pass blocking was good? 

What game are you watching?

I may be out of my flipping mind but I see MOS is blue next year ......................Double Blue

And eventually you'll play a team with a QB.

BLM didn't even break a sweat today and threw 3 TD's.  He played like ****.  Still puts up points.

Will you just try save face for yourself and admit that Nichols sucked tonight? Yes, of course there were other factors. But please do it for you own sake, man. It'll at least give you some credibility for future discussion.

This is the most talented Bomber team I've seen fall flat on it's face in a playoff game. Wow. How embarrassing.

Our pass blocking was as good as Calgary's.  QB needs to make plays.  Ours can't.

What straight up drops have we had today? The only one I can think of would’ve resulted in a loss of yards. Are you serious?

He can take Nichols and Harris with him....way too much film on those two now anyway...

I said good at almost every position. They were not great at receiver but, yes their pass blocking was good. A decent QB doesn’t turtle with the slightest pressure. Pressure is not abnormal in the CFL regardless how good your line is.

You must have a learning disability. I've said he's had a very poor game a. Number of Times

Food for thought the Stamps have 4 wide outs that are not playing tonight that are better that the Bombers core receivers, add a very good qb against what we have and the result is in front of us.

[MOBomberFan]

Brace yourselves. Rider trolls are coming.

Demski...good god what are you doing on that onside kick?

I'm saying this loss falls on a number of factors, including and not limited to Nichols. 

You must have very loving parents to deal with your comprehension problems.

Stamps are basically us last week...beat a team with no offense.

Honestly, learn to handle having these conversations without the insults. Period.

[AKAChip]

It would be a travesty if beating Brandon Bridge and getting a playoff win bought Nichols another year.

If that's the last time I see a Lapo offense with Nichols behind center, I'm more than ok with that.
