  • Just returned from first trip and game to IGF- Want to thank Winnipeg and BB fans for a fun weekend and great game experience  And I'd be saying that even if the score hadn't favored my riders -

    Streveler looked alright considering he was running Nichols offense and Nichols is basically the complete opposite style of QB, along with Streveler's level of experience.  Lapo also had about 5 playc

  • Family, health and other issues have made this year particularly difficult to crank out the O+S this year.   I apologize to the small and devoted following, for this.  May produce one in the morning -

He will, and the problems are much deeper than QB on this team.

Although Wolitarsky is making a valiant and gutsy effort as a possession receiver, you know you are in trouble when the other team's DLine has better footspeed than all of your Bomber receivers.

Not Nichols alone, but the pressure is in his head now and for his own good and the good of the team he needs to sit right now.

Maybe the other games it hasn’t been Nichols alone but today, I can’t see how it isn’t.

Mike and Paul will never do that this season.

The overrated Bomber OLine is getting manhandled and that is also part of the problem.

 

Oh NOW he needs to sit. Some of you guys are unbelievable.

Well I don't like the early drops which hurt confidence and I don't like the game plan which isn't helping a struggling QB at all either.

Nichols has five interceptions, only three of which counted. The other two were poor decisions/throws, so I don't really care that the penalties bailed him out on those. 

He has given Sask 17 points off turnovers.

If he doesn't sit now, O'Shea has lost his damn mind and we may as well start the rebuild now.

If Streveler does not start the second half, Oshea is done...  there's just no two ways about it.

The play call by Lapo - NOT to use Harris - and then that high school panic play by Nichols is really the low point of the season.

I'm worried that Osh will leave Nichols out there and Bomber fans will boo for the ENTIRE rest of the game...

Mike O’Shea is a good coach. His downfall will be his loyalty to Nichols.  Games within reach. Put Streveler in 

No he's terrible HC but you can't fault him, he just wasn't ready.

Mat Nichols has self destructed right before our eyes. 

When he whined about the fans booing him he was done and any coach with any coaching acumen would have known it. In my opinion the blame falls squarely onto O'Shea.

5 years in he should know what he's doing. Alas, he doesn't.

What a horrible position to put the kid in. He should have been given the start.

Are you nuts?  There's absolutely ZERO pressure on him now...

How do you figure that? By the time he gets comfortable the game will be over. He should have got the whole game.

Live from the game, Rider fans are cheering Nichols.

If Strevy doesn’t go in, I’m over MOS

How bad has it been?  I haven't watched.... to scared to watch.
