Game Day Thread: Week 7- Bombers @ Ticats, Clash of the Titans.Edition

[Stickem]

The game manager didn't manage....the return guys coughed it up...the O coordinator coughed up a big zero....On to T.O. who have a big zero in the win column...We can't possibly lose to the boatmen..hmmmmmm

I do somewhat think we need a change up scat back type of rb to compliment Harris. I know we use Demski in that role but he’s not the answer.  But roster wise it would be difficult to implement.  

There was almost no play action this game...

The one thing I did notice today is that tsn wasn’t scanning the crowd tonight. What no good looking women in the hammer?

They were too busy zeroing in on Steinhauer all game...I got pretty sick of it.

Dude always wants a holding call. 

I enjoyed hearing OSH talk tho.. 

Certainly was more vocal. 

[Goalie]

Story of the game short version

3 picks. 6 turnovers in total. Not down by more than 14 all game tho.. 49 pass attempts.. 12 runs. Lapo

[Doublezero]

I don't have much confidence that we can win any important games with Nichols at QB.

[Dr. Blue]

The Ti-Cats were way more physical than we were tonight.

The Ti-Cats D knows how to play against Lapo and Nichols. They played a solid game, so hats off to them.

We all know Nichols had a bad game tonight, but I don't think the receivers really helped him out. There were a few times it looked like guys were running the same routes, maybe because of the injuries. We've got work to do.

We got smacked in the mouth, let's see how we respond.

We're on to the Argos.

Fixed it for you. 🙂

What the hell is wrong with you guys? Complaining about the Defense and Andrew Harris. 

This game was a perfect example of why Matt Nichols is not the guy you want to lean on when it counts.   The guy is a very emotional player and when things go bad he unravels and plays scared and falls apart.   I blame the coaches for not sitting Nichols after the first two series and let Streveler play a series to calm the guy down.   

Also Andrew Harris and Lucky Whitehead should of been running a tonne from the get go.  Bad gameplan by LaPo and terrible execution from Nichols.  

Chris Matthews dressing makes no difference when Nichols starts getting excited and either one hops or floats balls into areas where receivers can't make plays.   

[Brandon]

Forget not last season when Nichols struggled and the fans booed,  he threw a hissy fit and blamed everything else aside himself.   The guy is super emotional so when he's down he's really down.    

[Dodge and Burn]

Que the one loss by Matty head hunters...

 

The entire team crapped the bed tonight. Time to get pissed from it and start another run. 

Remember this and get better. 

[Mr. Perfect]

Six turnovers. Three of them by one player. It's not headhunting. It's facts. Period.

QB's have bad games. Fact. 

 

Flush it. 

[MrFreakzilla]

It didn't help that our receivers were constantly holding hands running down the field. Too often they were literally on top of one another. Poor qb play and injuries contributed to that loss.

[Bigblue204]

We should just cut everyone and fold up for the year. It's clearly over.

One of Streveller's carries up the middle, ticat d lineman, maybe left end, knocked Chris down like he was a 120 pounder. Then kind of stood over him for a few seconds.

yeah, they were more physical.

[Mark F]

Can't really put Nichols in one slot, sometimes he's three td 200 yards guy, sometimes he's three long bombs guy, and sometimes he's three int guy.

Maybe a bit inconsistent.

Ricky Ray, for instance, Mr. Consistent. There aren't really any qb like that in the league at this time.

Hamilton definitely better than I thought.

Seconded....DnB is my new fave poster right now (...but Bigg Jay I still love you...) It was a collective pants shitting. Osh will clean it up and Toronto will get their asses handed to them next week.

That final play, his man sacked Nichols, and Hardrick just walked off field. I'm a fan of the man, but what was that?

Yoshi is playing hurt. I agree with some other comments that we give him a game on IR and let our other American OL play

I guess it’s only human nature to place blame here, there, and everywhere, but talk about

reacting.

It was absolutely a disjointed game..but correctable.

We didn’t play a clean game but Hamilton came to play, didn’t they?

Their DLine exposed our inexperienced OLine and the domino effect only got worse, especially when you start 2 TDs down.

This too shall pass...

 

 

(unless it gets intercepted )  🤭

well-said

[17to85]

Do we think this team that has protected the ball so well for the past several years is going to turn the ball over 6 times again this season? Bad game Hamilton took advantage, it happens move on. Not concerned at all. MOS will kick there asses in practise and Toronto will be spanked.

[TBURGESS]

If you want to get your confidence back, the Argos are the team to play.

Please give some credit to the TiCat D for playing a great game, you also need to account for missing 3 top receivers, Adams , Woli, and Matthews, that is a lot of size that was not available when needed on a windy day in Hamilton.
