How a guy could go from potiental SB MVP to average receiver is beyond me.

The issue is once the pressure is on he doesn’t go through his reads and will not take a unprotected hit in the pocket.

I think I agree and look Matt has been a professional, he’s been a winner, and he is a big part of our team becoming one of the best franchises in the CFL but he has not been the same since his injury and I think most of it is mental. The second the pocket breaks down instead of stepping into the pocket, or getting rid of it then and there he will put the ball down and throw it Harris for minimal gain or take the sack. Also the sign of a strong quarterback is confidence. If you hate interceptions so bad you’re unable to take a risk or stretch the field then I think it’s about time to take a seat because a confident quarterback will forget about the interception and go back to business. Now I know Lapolice is partially to blame but if you’re going to go with a run heavy conservative game you might as well put Streveler in to keep the defense honest on the run option which gives us more flexibility.

Lapo, the most conservative guy I’ve ever seen who’s also trying to be the smartest guy in the room. Jesus Christ. I don’t want to see Matt Nichols on the QB draw.

Well Nichols has more passing yards then Arbuckle but let’s talk about how inferior he is. Play calling has been poor again tonight by Lapo.

I’ve noticed terrible spots for Winnipeg at least three or four times, and favourable spots for Calgary on more than one occasion. This is brutal. Way to go Medlock for preserving the drive with points at least, but wow.

Pretty easy to hit a wide open guy. Not a good series for the defense and Richie Hall needs to make some adjustments.

Saskatchewan fans seemed to like Cam Marshall but then again it’s Saskatchewan. They were telling me how impressed they were with our indoor plumbing back at the banjo bowl.

We need more then 6 second half carries for Andrew Harris, I need to see Lapo and Nichols stretch the field more and for god sakes let’s stop game planning and playing not to lose. If we’re up by more then ten points at any point I don’t want to see us go into conservative mode. I’m feeling optimistic tonight!

Some people don’t understand run blocking and pass blocking is completely different and they can’t seem to realize one may be very good and one may be not as good.

Technically we have the best record in the CFL so it’s kind of funny to me.

Does anyone know anything about him?

Those names are giving me PTSD can you stop?!

I’m 28 and haven’t seen one in my life time. Born in 1991. Sorry for being alive guys. I’ve caused this Grey Cup draught!

You know the thing is his mechanics are a little off and you can tell he’s un comfortable in the pocket, similar to what happened to drew willy but not as severe as a case. I think partially some of it is mental. It’s too bad. I’ve been a Matt Nichols supporter ever since he got here but I think it’s nearly time for a change.

It’s intetesting because Matt Nichols was excellent in 2017 in close games/game winning drives. I had no confidence that if Toronto took a lead we’d be able to pull out a win. I don’t want to write off Nichols after two underwhelming performances, however it’s clear he can’t stretch the field on a constant basis anymore. Thursday will be a big test to see where we stand.

I actually think we beat Calgary at home. This is a moment of adversity. 5-2 and losing two games we could have/should have won. Hopefully we open the playbook up a little bit and Nichols brings his A game.

2014. Started 5-2 and finished 7-11

I can’t defend Matt Nichols any further. 2017 is ages ago and he just isn’t the same player since his injury.

Good trade for Saskatchewan for getting ANYTHING for Colloras. He’s done.

5-1 might as well be 1-5 to some people.

Is the glass half full or half empty?

Not going to throw the ball a lot when you have big leads against almost every time you play. It’s called being efficient. I’ll tqke the touchdowns over the yardage any day baby!!

And only 298 yards. What a loser. Can’t even break 300 yards which is the only metric you need in order of judging how good a QB is.
