Save your breath, save your ink....don’t waste your time. Exactly. I don't take what MOS says about Nichols as a denial about him being done for the year. Remember how Neuf was going to be ready for week 1? I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear Nichols is done for the year. It would also be stupid for MOS to reveal that information at this time.

IF Nichols is done for the year, it wouldn't hurt at all to announce it. Other teams aren't going to prepare to play Nichols unless/until he comes off of the 6 game anyway.

Why give out info if you don't have to. Look at what has happened with CGY. There were a few weeks where you didn't know who would start. Was Mitchell ready? Was he coming back? IF Streveler starts lighting it up, and Nichols is done for the year, but you don't announce it, it could lead to a similar situation. Making teams at the very least think about it. And maybe spend some time reviewing film on Nichols/preparing for him in practice. After the 6 games, you announce it's week to week. Just gives the other team something to think about.....but If you announce that he's done. That's never going to happen. Does it make a difference? Likely nothing substantial, but there's always that chance that they spend time on Nichols, and miss something on Streveler. Football is a game of inches in almost every way. Little advantages that don't look significant at all, can play a big part in having success. Sure it's far fetched. But not completely out of the realm of possible. And MOS never seems to right off things that are far fetched.

Releasing that info would also not benefit the team if they were trying to swing a trade to bring in another QB. They are already in a disadvantage in that regard but confirming Nichols is out for the season would put them in an even worse negotiating position.

OK but let's be realistic here, in a league where Vernon Adams and Cody Fajardo and Dane Evans and now Chris Streveler are starting quarterbacks who in gods name is available for trade that's worth trading for?

All the new starters have had monster games this year. But some people are stuck in the mind set of not being able to recognize any thing greater then mediocre.Â
September 5, 20195 yr comment_423775 Pretty disappointed to hear that the hit on Remple was okay. I'll respectfully disagree

More pro-Rider conspiracy......   🤣
September 5, 20195 yr comment_423784 The great thing about officiating and judgement by the CFL is that hindsight is 20/20..... and with respect to those passing judgement you will be right 50% of the time. We can only hope that this has been a learning and things will progress moving forward. Again this remains the RFL......the Reactive Football League and not the Proactive Football League.
September 5, 20195 yr comment_423785 That is the most CFL thing ever.... oh it's ok in this instance but let's quickly change the rules after the fact. Pretty God damned sick and tired of this reactionary bullshit. Either that's ok or it's not, don't change thing after we lose our long snapper. If it's notnokngoing forward they should have fined the rider douchebag who did it just to make it seem legit.
September 5, 20195 yr comment_423786 Y'all are too sensitive. The league said that there is nothing in the rule book prohibiting this type of hit, and that they will look at ways to prevent this from happening in the future, which is exactly THE RIGHT THING TO DO. To be fair, it was kind of a freak accident, with Rempel's head hitting the turf the way it did. Had he simply fallen on his back, this wouldn't even be a point of discussion. I don't believe the hit was malicious in nature.

The only reason for that play to happen is malicious intent. Did the rider intend to injure temple and put him on the ir? Probably not but it wasn't done for funsies either. It was a play where the intention was to plant the long snapper on his ass. I mean really if Remple had kept his head down for a moment it would have been a penalty by the books, so what has really changed? It was a hit against the spirit of the rule. Just that apparently the CFL sucks at wording their new rules.
