I know the 2 goal line stands but.. BC had 4 turnovers to our 5 so.. And 1 with no time left..IMO.. Tough to blame the coach for mental mistakes by our QB.. Buono was first half O'Shea and O'Shea was second half Buono. They were both terrible. O'Shea wasn't smart enough to take points. It's a road game ffs. That's why I'm hanging this on O'Shea moreso
July 15, 20186 yr comment_342281 When you're playing with the lead in the 2nd half - how does Harris only get 4 touches? There's aggressive play-calling and then there's playing with fire - they got cocky after the successful onside kick and ran very aggressive tactics that left points on the board.

We still lose.
July 15, 20186 yr comment_342284 Nichols' issues aside being the Alex Smith of the CFL... ...This team, and coaching staff especially is such a joke. All I want to know is in what world does a running back averaging over 10 yards a carry only have 13 carries all game? This has been my biggest issue with Lapo going back to 2002, his first stint here. He gets too cute and goes away from what's working. This regime will never get out of the first round of the playoffs the way it's run.

July 15, 20186 yr comment_342286 Streveler put up better numbers than nichols in every game he started. Yikes. Nichols hasnt look good since returning... Im not saying start Streveler but i dunno.. Atleast he could use his legs at times Edited July 15, 20186 yr by Goalie
July 15, 20186 yr comment_342287 How many scoreless quarters does Matt Nichols get before being pulled ?....

July 15, 20186 yr comment_342291 Crazy thing is how both games the offense/Nichols just tanked in the second half. He made a number of excellent throws in the first half and couldn’t hit anything in the second, even when Bowman had 10 yard radius he way under threw him. Wonder if he’s aggravating his knee as he tires and can’t get much into throws later on.

There's been plenty of examples of players "playing through pain" - medically cleared by doctors, but still playing through an injury. Most recent memorable example locally was Andrew Ladd playing through a sports hernia during the 2014/2015 Jets season as they pushed (and secured) a playoff spot.

Yeah hes likely not 100 percent but i dont think it would make him be that bad.
July 15, 20186 yr comment_342295 I wish I could have any confidence that O’Shea would ever bench Nichols.
July 15, 20186 yr comment_342296 It'll be a busy day tomorrow for the equipment guys after 44 players and the coaching staff all **** their pants tonight.
July 15, 20186 yr comment_342297 I'm just as disappointed as anybody, and that lost really stings. But I have to say I'm really turned off by how the knives are just flying for Nichols right now. It still amazes me that Drew Willy gets more slack even now than Nichols would get. This team isn't going to win a playoff game with Streveler it has to be Nichols. Let's not get the lynch-mob just yet. Edited July 15, 20186 yr by White Out
July 15, 20186 yr comment_342298 I had no problem going for it either time on 3rd down. The play call on the second one was terrible though.

Nichols in the clutch period is something I have no confidence in - especially on the road, and especially against the Lions. His track record in the playoffs and regular season speaks for itself. Anyone have confidence against Bo Levi or Reilly come November?

July 15, 20186 yr comment_342303 Nichols doesn’t have a particularly good arm so has to rely on not screwing up and making good decisions to be effective. When he’s not making good decisions, he’s beyond useless.
