One guy got to play qb the other got to play glorified full back... sign streveler as the backup next year and let him play the position. He will do fine. He did more than collaros early in the year anyway. Dragged the team to OT after collaros went out vs. Calgary and picked up a win in his only start.

TL:DR

Christ go compare Dru Browns first game and Chris Strevelers first game and tell me how much quicker Brown developed. Again it comes down to the coaches made streveler into a gimmick in his 2nd season and doubled down on it this year. Dude can play qb.

Also the riders secondary isn't what i would call dangerous... grabbing a few into while also giving up a **** ton of passing yards is not really something to crow about. Yet more trash analysis of the league. Cfl needs.to get out of it's own way sometimes.

He was brought in initially on the strength or his passing resume.... ifnhe was useless as a passer the NFL would have brought him in as a receiver or something NOT as a qb.

The moment he ripped into Bob Irving for daring to be critical after yet another embarrassing showing is example 1 in how not to deal with your media. Irving is a hall of fame broadcaster who polished innumerable turds for that team while still maintaining a hell of a lot of objectivity. You disrespect him who has literally seen it all in the cfl you disrespect your entire fanbase in the process.

My proof is what he's done when give a full playbook and multiple NFL opportunities as a quarterback. Where is your proof other than "I don't like his throwing motion"

Proof? Because again if we're just going for the appeal to authority you believe Jake Thomas is the best DL on the team.? Streveler can pass, he's shown that ability and if he couldn't pass he wouldn't have spent as much time in the NFL as he did.

I agree, bring streveler back and give him the whole playbook.

but lawson hasn't been healthy all year and thomas gets the most snaps.... you can't explain that other than out and out favoritism.

No it's not apples to oranges... we have a **** ton of options for Canadians and don't need a defensive tackle. Using your appeal to authority the coaches are smarter than the rest of us so if Jake gets the most reps he must be the best defensive lineman.

This is a good point. Took them a while to get over the calgary hump because the stamps were good back then.

Bombers have had issues with eastern teams, but they pwned the west in their 8 game win streak.

Yeah a guy who gets hurt halfway into the season and won't be healthy when the season starts isn't going to generate big interest as the leagues next starter... go figure.

If they'd stopped selling tickets yesterday morning they could have had a "rider sell out". And still had more asses in the seats than the riders can muster.

Let me give my thoughts on why kolankowski plays centre instead of Eli.... kolankowski can only play centre, Eli can backup all the interior positions AND given how often our offense uses 6 OL, Eli can play that position where kolankowski can not. So in the world Mike O'Shea lives in where there are no backups, everyone is a starter, he doesn't view Eli as the backup offensive lineman, he sees him as the starting 6th OL and they just have offensive looks where that position doesn't play. Roster management has been an issue for Oshea since day 1 and anyone who doesn't see it is putting their head in the sand. Great coach, wouldn't want anyone else, but his roster management needs to improve.

So you also think Jake Thomas is our best dl?

Let them be arrogant. Let the media talk about how awesome the riders are. Meanwhile the Bombers will just go and do what they have done for the last 5 years....

Tait is a professional and knows when to talk about things and when he doesn't know enough and avoid talking about it. That's really the biggest key. Don't go writing about **** when you don't know enough to know what you don't know.

Yeah we didn't even hit Harris when they had to play Micah Johnson at OL. Just not something this team is any good at. It's not so much the turnover numbers that worry me with the.riders, it's what is our offense going to do to make sure they aren't just running forward into the pile for minimal gains. We've been entirely too predictable at times. Relying on an overmatched OL to just overpower the opponent...

A glorious day for the Bombers and therefore the world.

Noooooooooo

We won back to back on labour day and the banjo bowl. This riders team isn't some big bad scary threat. Harris will dink, then he will dunk and like last night will settle for field goals.

Some people mistake being connected for being knowledgeable. Hodge is a fantastic example. It's why with a doofus like suitor it's so frustrating... guy could put in a little shred of work to parlay his position and access into something insightful... instead we get the same bland **** regurgitated ad nauseum every single game.

I truly believe that collaros is playing his best ball of the season towards the end of it. Problem of course is there's been times the rest of the O has let him down. So let's hope they've got some good plans formulated and they are able to execute it. Keep collaros from getting hit like a pinata all day and he will pick that secondary apart.
