Just trying to stay ahead of the curve, here....

I'll just put this here...

Fyi it's stupid shitblike this that makes people think you're a troll. Toughness has very little to do with injuries, especially qbs and throwing arms. Dont be a ****.

1)the whole d line but especially big willie. 2)Harris....we are lucky to be able to watch him every game because he’s one of the best ever. 3)Marcus sales....he just makes huge plays HH goes to Hansen.....I thought the global stuff was pretty gimmicky but he held his own and then some

Started in 66 ....with my dad

I just want to see Streveler run an offense that is prepped and called from the booth for Streveler

1. DL - monster night - Thomas and Kongbo looking dominant, WJ effect 2. Sayles - guy does it all 3. Demski - two really key receptions and nice routes HH - Kyle Walters - Hansen, Kongbo, Jones, Grant, Augustine, Maston, Desjarlais - nice depth on this team...

How can you trust a man who wears this? You really have to question his decision making process! A vote for the conservatives is a vote for the Riders!

You mean some of us on this board don't know a stick about game planning a football game or specific player assignments? You're cray cray 🤐

1. Willie J and the Furious 4 2. Harris, the King of the CFL 3. Come Sayles away with me! HH - Hansen - way to make an impact! Extra HH - To Anthony Gaitor who stopped by the bench before the game to hand out signed players cards. Made my son very happy. A great experience all around!

Streveler’s stat line in limited gimmick packages one series at a time means absolutely nothing

If theres one thing teammates and opponents say about Nichols is his toughness and leadership..

Yeah give Streveler a game plan with the actual play book and he can do the exact same ball control offence Nichols does. If anything probably a bit more diversified and allowing Harris more space. Lapo has to throw out the trickery and gimmick **** and let the play makers do their thing. With Strev in now..and using multiple motion and misdirection stuff teams wont know what to key on or who to focus on and will open up a lot of options. Teams are gonna start cheating in and then we can hit them with the deep shots down the field. This idea Strevler cant throw is off base..he just needs repetition and plays..with designed routes to actually get the ball to allow him to progress..not the stuff Lapo has him running Lapos stupidly timed change of pace thing there when the offence was humming was the stupidest thing done all year..what he was trying to accomplish other than kill momentum was baffling

Lions waste no time.....start on D with 2 PI penalties... Harris runs a couple for 14...out pattern to Lucky at the 10 Harris bobs and weaves to the BC 5... Nichols keeps the ball on a zone option.....fans scratch heads.... ...Matt solves problem by riffling TD pass to Demski on a slant, deep in the endzone... Lankford with long KO return....but Lions nailed for holding... Reilly throws great 25 yd pass to Burnham.... ....but Gaitor tips away 2nd down pass attempt... Nichols play action...then drops in perfect pass to Matthews deep for 50... 2nd down pass hits crossbar or post....Medlock 25 yarder. 10-0 Bomberrs Reilly chucks up shot put ball under pressure....Carter catches it at center field... Reilly then sacked by Roh. Nichols with loads of time.....hits Demski right up the hashmark, for another 50... Nichols scrambles and Woltman has ball bounce of hands....for cheap BC INT. Reilly popping some short ones...against Bomber zone D... BC gets an IC call, and passes to Burnham and Carter.... Richardson stops drive....making stop on 2nd and 3. Lions kick the FG For some reason....Nichols out: Streveler in.....who rolls out..... ...and has pass deflected for another sloppy INT... Reilly pressured on 2nd incomplete. BC kicks another FG. 10-6 Blue. Harris takes a 2nd down and long draw...battles past 4 Lions for a FD... Nichols sacked. Medlock 45 yard attempt hits the uprights.... Bombers have left some points out there..... Jake Thomas comes in on stunt and nails Reilly for huge sack... Lankford runs around a bit...before giving up safety.... Bombers had called a time out.....yet decide to take ball, instead of a return.. Plenty of mumbling in the stands about that one. 12-6 Bombers at half.,. Bombers driving for show...but not scoring for dough, so far.... BC starts 2nd half with big flea flicker - couple of Bombers sucked in on Carter throw... White runs though a seam, all the way to the 4. Then pops into end zone on next play The 1-6 Lions are ahead now ...13-12. What the hell? Interesting to see how Blue react.... BC keeps using short kick offs ....but this one not quite short enough.... Grant wiggles and waggles....sideline to middle of field all the way to the BC 25... Nichols has all day to throw but freezes in the pocket and is sacked.... Medlock's 37 yarder makes it 15-13 for the Blue... Reilly throws out to the flat.....Jefferson is out there and leaps up for the pick.... ....and runs it back to the BC 30. Need to cash in on this one.... Nichols screens it to Lucky who cuts in and out...for big first down.... Nichols hits Lawler on hook pattern at the 1. Matt sneaks it in.... 22-13 Reilly sacked by Nevis and Thomas.... Blue overload left side on punt rush....BC misses pickup...... Sayles blows in off the edge....clean block and quick scoop...for the TD Bang...bang. All of a sudden it is 29-15 BC looking like, well....BC.. All time CFL Canadian yards record for Harris announced on the PA.... ....resulting in a very nice standing ovation from the 24,914.... Reilly finally gets off nice pass across the middle....but penalty calls it back... Hansen in at end.....and promptly reaches around and punches ball out from Reilly... 2 runs from Harris, short of the marker.....who proceeds to limp off to his bicycle.... No punt. Medlock comes in for the 54 yard FG attempt.....and puts that through! 20 straight points.....and control of this game for the Bombers... White looks like he has huge gain around the edge...but is tripped up by Bighill... Hansen marches into the Lion backfield to sack MR...but Jefferson offside... Blue show 3 man DL set...but Hecht blows past White to blast Reilly.... Lions salvage 47 yd FG....while Reilly looking very unhappy with his OL... Nichols dawdles rolling out of pocket, takes blindside hit and fumbles.... BC recovers at Blue 25. Dumb turnover #3..... Nichols runs out through tunnel, holding his arm....does not look good... Bighill blitzes....hits Reilly, forces fumble and recovers it. MR really looking pissed. Streveler first series...busted play and an incompletion. Blue O struggling in 2nd half again White running ball hard for the Lions. Sayles hitting hard for the Bombers.... Sayles with another nice tackle....our most aggressive DB, by a mile.... Hanson getting a lot of snaps....and looks pretty physical...... Him and Kongbo are popping the pads pretty good, here... BC moving the ball with short stuff....but eating up gobs of time, down by 16... Reilly connects with sideline pass to Durant to Bomber 33 50/50 ticket flashed on big board....scan numbers eagerly....but the fix is not in... Reilly goes down again...this time at the wingspan of Jefferson... 3rd and 21...Mike chucks long throw to Carter....incomplete Claybrooks decides to challenge this for something or other..... No soap. Turnover. Game officially over. BC sucks. Augustine comes in to do his close out power run thing... 4 straight carries....2 first downs....clock strikes O, for Orange pumpkins... Bombers get job done for my 500th game I got job done with my 500th gin. Give or take a few zeros..

in the post game show, MOS was talking about this....said they went to him awhile back and told him that they'd like him to learn how to play End a bit. He apparently is incredibly smart...takes a little bit of information and just gets absolutely everything out of it. Learns very very quickly. It's impressive, to be sure...

Tell you one thing..our young depth is pretty damn good..and gonna get better. Kongbo is gonna be a beast Willie 2.0..he already is having an impact..Ol Jake better buy him some wobbly pops as his sacks where a direct result of Kongbo's pressures and attention they need to show him..scary part he is just learning this CFL game and his opponents.. and what've better mentor to have the Jefferson. Richardson too..still learning but super disruptive.. Other than the one sack Eli whiffed on when he was on the edge he showed brute power and mean streak on his other reps..and high energy too..guy is gonna be a ass flattener for us. What really shocked me tho was Hansen off the edge..where did that tenacity and over powering skill come from..blew me away..if they keep working him in practice there he can rotate in again in a pinch.. dude was a beast

That is a 3 yr old report..tho some still holds true..but guy can throw.. over 4300 yards in his senior season. He just needs a playbook with more than 5 plays like he has been force fed this year...and the game plan needs to be tailored to him. With his run threat we need to move the pocket..use roll outs and varied misdirection and motion plays...if he is bootlegging and rolling out he will gouge teams big time because the cone up too soon and ge has guys left open..they hand back too long he will get huge gains. A game plan tailored for him...frst team reps all week...good oline and his run ability..he will do ok..as long as he doesnt try to be a hero and run ball controlled offense..he can win Dont try to make him play a style that's not him..thats my one fear with cutesy lapo..his thinking he gonna fool teams.

The team can carry Streveler the same way they carry Nichols when he's having a bad game.

I normally wouldn't let this type of response stand but ...

Praise be unto Kyle Walter's and his drafting of offensive linemen.

I forgot to say bonus HH to Jefferson for doing the Ric Flair strut with the whoooo

(copy of E-mail to Bomber office) Attn: Mr. Wade Miller - Confirmation on BC game agenda Dear Mr. Miller Do or Die checking in (my user handle on Morning Big Blue) I just wanted to check and review the following arrangements to celebrate my 500th home game, this evening: 5 PM – Pickup by a Blue stretch limousine, transport to IGF 6 PM – Appearance on CJOB pre-game show. 6:15 PM – Visit to Bomber locker room to deliver inspirational speech 6:30 PM – Complimentary yard long Shawarma, from Obby Khan. 7:00 PM – Free ride around the stadium, in Captain Blue’s airplane. 7:30 PM – Performing ceremonial kickoff, after coin toss. 8:00 PM – Short roaming gig, as CJOB cynical sideline reporter Halftime – Invitation to the 55 yard line – to receive gifts, including life long supply of gin Halftime – Interview with TSN panel 10:00 PM – Rigged 50/50/draw I realize you are quite busy – but I am sure that you agree - it is important that these arrangements go off, with a hitch. Btw – when years ago, I called you “Friar Tuck” on Our Bombers, I was actually referring to your generosity and genial good nature. Yours truly, Do or Die GO BOMBERS!

Hey, I've complained about Nichols but that was clearly not the time to pull him.

O unit is not the problem. Matt Nichols showed he can make the deep throws. The play-calling is the problem. Lapo has some over-thinking.

i feel we lost momentum when the coaches decided to pull Nichols and put Strevler in. Timing was strange.

3 turnovers, lost our Q.B, and we still win by 16 points! I thik we’ll be just fine. 7-2 is 7-2!

This Hansen dude likes contact

1 WJ and the DL. Never have we hit Mr soo much every one got in on it. 2 Harris. Another huge grinding game. 3 sayles blocked punt scoop n score. Another big game. HH lucky whitehead converting second and 19 on a gutsy screen pass. Close second to the near td return on the short punt.

So last week almost everyone was clamouring for streveler and now that it looks like he’s our starter for a while... we’re in ‘mourning’ ahahahhaaaa

Sayles, Harris and Jefferson all made huge impacts and are stars in this game .. I'm going to try and be a bit different and give reasons why. Three stars (in no particular order): Geoff Gray - he's in there mixing it up week in, week out. He was scrapping pretty good with 91 from BC last night and seeing how he (and the interior of our line plays) makes me smile. Janarion Grant - how long have we wanted a legitimate return threat? A guy who can rip the top of a coverage team, make people miss and find a seam. This guy is it. Dangerous every single time he touches the ball. The only time he touches the ball, he changed field position in a big way. Jake Thomas - people under-rate that guy. He's not flashy, he's not an all-star but he's a guy who brings it every single snap and is the type of rotational player every team needs (especially if they expect to compete in the post season). 3 tackles and 2 sacks. Not a bad night for FatBoi. Happy Honker: Thiadric Hansen - the guy is just a ball of intensity and focus and I had to laugh a couple of times when it looked like he wasn't sure if he should stay on the field or come off. Was fun to watch him get playing time. His contribution speaks to the thoughtfulness Walters et. al put in when evaluating these internationals.

Was calling Kongbo Mini Jefferson he is just a smaller version. Jake's first sack was beautiful stunt looked like the ones Doug Brown used to run. Hansen looks like he has taken coaching very well. He had the physical attributes to play but now his knowledge is starting to come around. This really what 2.0 is all about. Getting these first guys in here and having them compete as professionals even if they all don't turn out they are going to back and be able to coach up the kids back in their home countries on what it takes to be a professional.

Strev's INT was a tip..on an I'll advised throw..and chalk that up as a learning experience..which he will as he is a smart guy...seen that a million times with inexperienced QB's..guarantee next time he puts his head down and barrels forward for positive yards.. Positive of it tho..and I have noticed this before with him that when he is scampering around and looking like he is gonna run..he is still scanning down field for an open guy..once our receivers realize this they will be coming back to the ball..Thats what makes me think of younf Dunnigan when I watch him..and he did that a lot in college...they are used to Nichols style and if he looks to run..he is all run..or hook sliding...and Lucky was there for the pass open as open can be..just a nice football play by BC..hey that happens in games from time to time as the other team is trying too

Chris Streveler scouting report: I think it confirms all whats good and not so good. The good news is there's lots of room for improvement with the right coaching. FLASH SCOUTING REPORT: Chris Streveler is a player’s QB; one of the guys... strong, thick build... solid frame... still learning the QB position... lacks the nuances of smooth QB, but has come far in last 2 seasons... strong arm... LORD, what a trigger! ... ball is out with flick of the wrist, with steam... rapid delivery using compact motion and high release point... lacks finesse at this point... very shallow reads; 1-n-done... still, makes good on his early reads... worked from shot-gun in a tempo offense... confident and enthusiastic play... pocket presence needs seasoning as he is late to recognize the rush... sets platform quickly but uneven footwork causes uncoordinated throwing motion... platform is good, but fails to drove off back leg for power... arm-thrower... still, ball comes out with fire and in a hurry... accuracy is there but flawed within the window... ball-placement is not his priority, but he hits the receiver’s catch radius accurately and timely... not a shy passer and will give his receivers a chance to “win” the football... deep ball is hit-n-miss, but plenty of distance... could improve downfield juice and accuracy with better footwork from the platform... shows signs of throwing his receivers open rather than waiting for a clean jersey... still, no evidence of fluency on comebacks, back-shoulder throws or fades... Streveler is darn mobile and a dangerous runner... very effective on QB draws, boots and picking up chunky gains from a broken pocket... not a creative runner, but very effective... rushed for over 1500 yards and scored 20 ground TDs combined last 2 seasons... makes a terrific RPO pro prospect but needs quality NFL QB coaching... a good coach can create a winner here using that lightning release and athletic make-up.

Troy was also commenting before on the Lions having elite receivers and the Bombers should be wary, so....

I heard on the radio this morning that the Bomber Offense is in the top 3 of the league in most offensive categories other than passing yards. Now I will admit I didn't fact check this nor will I because it doesn't bother me very much. My question is, why is passing yards so hard to get over when the Bombers are winning? As far as I know they call more running plays than any other team which means they run less passing plays than any other team so if my math is correct, they would more than likely have less passing yards than....any other team. Again, I didn't fact check anything because it doesn't bother me as long as the Bombers are getting more Ws than Ls.

1. Harris 2. #5 and crew 3. Sayles HH: Big Jake - the guy no one wanted in FA. Gotta be some GMs kicking themselves...right about now.

20 years of lapolice, this is his go to second and long play. First time I remember it not working and securing the kick he intended when he called it

He didn't look lost, he made one bad throw (to an open receiver mind you), otherwise he never got a real offense. Lapo treats him like a running back not a quarterback. If he has to start I would expect him to look a lot better because he (unless Lapo is even dumber than I think) will get a more robust playbook to work with.

So how hurt do we think Nichols is? Suitor was reading his obituary for the entire 4th quarter. Happy Honker to Duron Carter for trying to sell...well, nothing, as a head shot.

1. Harris,personal accomplishment aside ,guy gives his all 2. Sayles,what a player. Nuff said 3. Big Willie. HH. O line, pass pro ,run blocking was outstanding.

1 - Jefferson 2 - Sayles 3 - Harris HH - Nichols

1) Harris... You just have to tonight. 2) DL. Roh goes down and Kongbo continues to show he's going to be a star. And Thaddy Hansen apparently is next up as a DE (MOS says in post game he's been training at the position) and shines. 3) Sayles.... I said before TC started that he was my "player you're most looking forward to seeing this year" amd he's lived up to the hype. Amd then some. HH - Lucky/Janarion Grant... Teams are terrified of them and for good reason.

Didn’t get to watch the game because of work but how about a star/hm to Canadian ham and egger Jake Thomas for his two sacks!

Good team win. As much as I wanted Streveler in the game, I have no idea why THIS was the time to give him a series. Nichols was playing well finally. After that it was more of the same unfortunately. Defense and special teams were great. We will see how LaPo designs the offense next week if Nichols is out. Hopefully Harris is alright too.

Amazing moment for Hansen. Good for him. Could be a player.

It's early but Kongbo could be a hell of a player

Get Hecht out of there for Mike Jones since Kongbo is in on defence now

to you my friend on your impressive accomplishment! quite the fan!
