Fair enough but iffy calls happen every single game. I cant even recall how many times over the last handful of years that weve been jobbed by a borderline call. Every team deals with it. Maybe Durant's brutal toss that was intercepted on our 2 decided the game, maybe he would have thrown another if he had gotten the ball back, maybe your kicker cost you the game, etc, etc. If ifs and buts were candies and nuts....1 penalty in the grand scheme of things isnt the sole reason for a loss is my point.

Done and done.

I dont know why i sometimes go over to riderfans after a game.....yes i do, to watch them meltdown and cannibalize each-other. But today is a whole different animal. Apparently they outplayed us all game, the refs cost them the game, their kicker cost them the game, etc, etc. One guy said the game wouldnt have even been close if their kicker made all of his kicks???? He left 7 points on the field. Unreal. Also, anyone who isnt a lemming and displays an alternate view of the game is a troll and told to f*** off. That place is like a whole other world full of likeminded, koolaid drinking, nutjob, conspiracy theorists that refuse to see the world in anything but green-colored glasses. Its quite amazing.......and frightening. After a few minutes there you begin to understand how the nazi movement swept over Germany.

Weston Dressler

I would say Johnny Adams also had a hand in that.

Im being facetious of course but i sure remember reading a lot of pro Willy posts after losses when he was putting up lots of yards but making game crippling errors and not getting the job done when it counted. Now a lot of the same guys are negative towards Nichols when we win. Strange world we live in.

Lol, i swear some people would like to see Willy throw for 400 yards in a loss than Nichols throw for 200 in a win.

Ok, so Nichols has been "average" lately with 2 rookie WR's, 1 WR who was watching from his couch 3 weeks ago, and a Jamie Stoddard clone. What the hell was Willy with our entire starting offence intact? Trash is the answer. I swear Nichols could win 19 games in a row, rescue 6 babies from a burning daycare, and defeat isis and some of you guys would still cry that he isnt doing enough. Ever think that the game flow/plan dictated his ultra conservative play by not forcing anything or taking chances deep and he did exactly what Lapo wanted on friday??

Lol, based on what? The 4 wins in a row?? Nichols is doing what it takes to win, ugly or not. Willy was doing what it takes to lose. Give your head a shake.

I think Durant is purposely trying to injure himself so he doesnt have to play.

Gritty, smashmouth win against a VERY tough defence. Huge. Not pretty but grinded it out. Lets not forget were doing this with OUR TOP 3 WR'S OUT. If our defence keeps this up and we get Smith, Dressler, and Adams back....all of whom Nichols has shown chemistry with...... GIGGITY! Best stat line of the night: Duron Carter 3/27!

Not to mention Zach Collaros who the Argonauts released early in 2014 after failing to come to an agreement on a new contract. Within the last 2 years that makes 2 QB's, arguably in the top 5 in this league, that the Argos chose to let go in lieu of a 30 something Ricky Ray. Yikes.

Wow, nice clean sweep by Rod the Stooge. Its not easy going 0/4. Jack***.

Do you only get half a strike if your player scores a TD and then its reversed on a d-bag challenge by Jim Popp when they call a borderline penalty that didnt happen anywhere near the play? It should.

Lol, thats the quote. I stand corrected.

Rod Petersen is an absolute joke. The guy is nothing more than a Rider lackey that spews nothing but gang green garbage. Ive never seen a "journalist", and i use that term loosely, so biased and one-sided in my life. I cant believe he is taken seriously and that sports shows continue to interview him(H&L had him on this afternoon). I wish they would stop. He's nothing more than a delusional Rider fan with a blog. I remember almost choking on my breakfast when i read before the season that he predicted the Riders to win the West with a 12-6 record . I also remember BLM and Petersen having a twitter war after BLM called him out on his laughable homer prediction. Time and time again he continues to make a fool of himself every time he opens his mouth.

I swear, Nichols could go 39/40 for 450 Yards and 5 TD's and there would still be the usual 2 or 3 posters here that would say "he was ok but he did miss that 1 pass and the defence made it easy for him". Did he have his best game last night? Nope but we still won by a mile and his 2 TD passes to Denmark were more decisive and accurate than anything ive seen from Willy all year. The guy doesnt panic, exudes confidence, plays fast, goes through his reads, has the players believing in him, throws a nice deep ball, and most importantly does what it takes to WIN football games. Ive seen NONE of the above from Willy this year yet the usual suspects will pick pepper out of fly s**t when it comes to Nichols.

I'd probably take Drew Carey at this stage
