I just remember how giddy some fans here were that he was hurt & gone for the season. No problem, Big Chris will carry us. He's way better. Yeah, right. This season is done. Nichols is just as Teflon to some as Streveler is to others. The downhill slide very coincidentally started when the Bombers stopped playing the three worst teams in the league.

Yeah, but it's not like the offense was really firing when he was here. That's on Lapo. He did a great job of protecting the ball but couldn't connect downfield consistently. I feel that's on Lapo too.

We would be the worst team with Streveler playing so I have no idea about your logic. You just keep pumping our running qb tires all the way to the WDSF loss.

And an odd thing to say considering he’s beaten Edmonton and Saskatchewan as well. Streveler was bad today. Terrible. Full stop. But Streveler struggling does not make Nichols a good QB.

You are assuming that it would be better if Nichols was not injured. The deficiencies in the team were becoming evident even before he went down. And the coaching has remained the same.

Sorry but from what I've seen I'll take Nichols back in a heartbeat.

I think the op is just pointing out the double standard, that Nichols got a lot of unwarranted hate, while lots loved strev and thought he would be way better than Nichols.

We never talked much about deficiencies before the Nichols injury. We were definite Grey Cup favourites.

Both QBs get a ton of hate, some deserved and some not. It just seems to me that Streveler struggling has made people revert to the idea that Nichols will bring this team success rather than the more likely scenario that this team has no good QBs on the current roster. 7-2 under Nichols was very clearly a mirage based on an easy strength of schedule and timely scores on D and special teams. In Streveler starts, the Bombers have one defensive and one special teams touchdown. That plays a massive role. And again, not excusing the play of Streveler at all.

October 6, 20195 yr comment_432326 Just started reading this on page 25 but did anyone else think that Saskatchewan was offside on the QB hit, fumble and turnover? I thought the play calling was poor, Harris was under-utilized and every team will want to make Streveler throw the ball. On the big Demski interception on one of the replays from behind the QB it looked like Adams was open on the right side before Streveler threw the ball.

Imagine what a good DC will do?

There was also illegal blocks. Punter interference (whatever that's called). Holding. Etc. It's the Riders.

No, that doesn't count because the Streveler supporters said he was better than Nichols so there's no free passes for him. You can't say on one hand Streveler is better & we'll play better with him starting & then when things crash down it's because he has little experience. Can't have it both ways.
