By no means is this loss all on Nichols, but that's two games in a row where he's had the opportunity to drive the field - and has thrown a backbreaking interception instead.

Or he throws it too high...or he waits too long then throws it out of bounds....or he throws it behind the reciever.....or he throws it into the turf short of the receiver.....etc etc

So what? Receiver got his hands on it and volleyed it to the D 

The receiver was fighting a defender and trying to leap...he barely got one hand on the ball it was high in the air

Contrast the ducks that Nichols threw for the most part against the dart Streveler threw into the end zone.

I blame this on the entire team. They played well in the first half. Both sides of the ball failed in the second half. Yeah I can **** on the defence because they allowed the points when they needed to stand strong. 

You forgot about the punt return TD in the first half so throw ST's in there as well.

I thought that was obvious lol. Most of the talk was whether the O or D cost the game when it should be very obvious that they both did

Just good enough to lose. Yay?

No confidence when the game is on the line that we can get a score or a stop. Bleh.

The holding not called on that return was the insane.

Block in the back on Morgan as he's halfway to getting the returner onto the turf.  How they missed that, I don't know.  3 officials should be looking right at it.

If it wasn't called then it didn't happen, (alternate universe, I guess by Proulx).  Lots of whiffs & lack of contain on that return.

You’ve completely lost me this time.

Like cheating, if it ain't caught.

I though so at first but the replay showed all initial blocks were clean. Players were not in their lanes though.

Duck that, I am not blaming the 1...2...3... missed illegal blocks on our STs that's on that motherducker proxl. I would love to see the ref cam on that play.

Players all bunched up & the returner took it to his left. Most of the defenders were out of position.

They were clean. The end zone replay shows it was a clean return

It was a sloppy piece of crap coverage

Morgan literally had him halfway to the turf when he was chucked off by a 2 hand shove in the back.

If we're at the point where we're relying on CFL refereeing to win games - we are in serious trouble.

Nobody hates Nichols. Ffs drama queen much? Hes been bad for a year now tho. About time to accept it. 

I hate Nichols.

He is absolutely terrible. 

People like @White Out continually show how little they get football by going on and on about the D. How much longer can they continue to get blamed for letting up after the O goes 2 and out for the 4th straight time. No D would be good enough to continually stop an O that gets the ball back every 45 seconds.

Hall's defence gave us an opportunity to win the game.  It was our offence who couldn't convert opportunities in to majors. 

I was satisfied with the defence today.

Really? That confusion resulting in the wide open receiver for the Riders in the end zone was unacceptable. Two guys waving each other into different positions resulting in one of them getting burned. By Game 11 that **** needs to be ironed out.

So what? The receiver tried to make a play on an absolutely trash throw.

Special teams on this club are suffering from severe 'suckage'....We get nothing on returns and it's an adventure on a lot of the opposition returns.. That was supposed to be the 'hallmark' of success on this club...(Mike O'Shea's words)....Should be one of the strongest part of our game and yet year in and year out we can't find that speedy little game breaker on returns, like most successful teams manage to find and it's far from being a strong point on this club....Not good enough after 5 yrs.

Play happened so fast. wasn't able to see the replay except once right after the score. I'll take your word for it.

Routinely gain 5 or more yards on net punting almost every week.  Best in the league.
