Posted September 13, 20159 yr comment_151774 It's been a long, long wait but I think Nichols is the reliable backup QB the Bombers have been waiting for. His game was far from perfect but he showed enough intelligence and understanding of the system in one short week than any other QB has shown in many years.
September 13, 20159 yr comment_151777 Started shakey but was very good in the second half. Nichols brings hope. The D is good. If our O can just move the ball at times... like they did tonight. .. we are a decent team.
September 13, 20159 yr comment_151780 Thought it was a good game. I love watching our D out there. Leggett at SAM was amazing. Westerman is a beast. Cole has been impressive. Hurl was strong. Saw some 34 D too. O was ok. Still think bellefool is an issue tho.
September 13, 20159 yr comment_151786 Nichols might have a bit of a chip on the shoulder, helping him play well. I'm really glad the team did well with all those fans there.
September 13, 20159 yr comment_151787 This D has been improving every week.They simply dominated tonight . I'm impressed to see what a competent backup could accomplish with limited reps.Good job by Walters to go out and get solution to a problem.
September 13, 20159 yr comment_151790 Just win, doesn't matter what it looks like, 2 points is 2 points.

He did some good stuff despite the lame play calling.
September 13, 20159 yr comment_151795 Only caught the last quarter - but completed passes over six yards is nice to see
September 13, 20159 yr comment_151805 What are those long pass things the Bombers were completing? Great game Nichols!
September 13, 20159 yr comment_151806 Nichols certainly did his job tonight. Is he a starter in this league? I'm not so sure about that, I don't think the consistency is there, but Saskatchewan has the worst defence in the CFL and Nichols took advantage when the breakdowns were there. That's all you can ask. Happy to have him here, and hopefully as a back-up into the future.
September 13, 20159 yr comment_151809 It was a nice win, but we scored 14 points against the worst team in the league. I'm not ready to proclaim that all is well yet.
September 13, 20159 yr comment_151812 Just don't lose the games, and he'll be alright. ST under MOS was solid for the most part tonight. D continues to dominate. If the O can do just enough to give the D a rest, we might just be okay.
September 13, 20159 yr comment_151820 ATTN Kyle Walters: sign Nichols to an extension ASAP. Give him low starting QB money, like $200k per season if that's what it takes.

I don't think Glenn has ever come out of a season on the short end payment wise and with the Bombers poor history of QB protection, Nichols may end up starting half the games.

I believe the direct snap to Briggs on the punt fake was an O'Shea twist that we wouldn't have seen previously under.....whatever his name was.
September 13, 20159 yr comment_151833 Great game if you remove the first quarter lol. Offense moved the ball well at times. Running game worked! Outside and inside.. Defense stopped what was considered a very good offense despite their record, messem who? Lirim continues to make me nervous. Gotta get his focus back, return and blocking games tho vastly improved.
