Streveler doing the Nichols stuff and the Streveler stuff

"mission accomplished" Yep after a return to our side of the field, getting a field goal is the mission

C'mon special teams...

Nothing better than getting a team to use their challenge flag early

Sounds like Bailey is sitting today. I hope Whitehead has a big game

I thought Neufeld still had one more game on the IR? Interesting that Gray is a backup. Also, which American is sitting?

Ah right I remember that. Momentary lapse in concentration. Still, not at all concerned. We've seen how good Drew's hands are

Has Woli even had bad drops? Recently he's had to stretch out for some passes that were not exactly on the money and they've just beyond his grasp. Kind of reminds me of Lawler earlier this year. Woli will be fine

I'm just following the logic of this thread. One poster was clearly going by reception percentage to judge hands and then when you said "That’s true, but that goes for every receiver we’ve had ‘‘tis year, does it not?" In regard to overthrows. It seemed to me you were implying everyone was on equal ground there. So again, following the logic of thr thread I thought you were on the side of using that statistic as a way to determine hands. But if not then I digress. It doesn't matter anyway. Reception percentage as a stat doesn't say enough and that's all I'm trying to get across

The claim was made that you can judge hands by the reception rate. And saying that everyone has had the same number of good passes (not to mention getting hit at the same time among other factors) is definitely not true. There are definitely stats out there that could help this argument but I'm unsure where to get them.

Can't really go by reception rate. That stat is targets is it not? I've seen Lawler overthrown quite a bit

Lawler? He gets routinely praised by the coached for his hands

Well we haven't seen Grant do any receiving. Why do you think Whitehead is a better receiver than Nelson? I see them as fairly close but I like how slippery Nelson is. I'm genuinely curious if you think the speed factor makes that much of a difference. I agree that I'd rather have Bailey though. Not only is he more polished, but he can get 3 extra yards by dragging a defender.

Nelson is a more rosterable player (good receiver and returner) at this point than either Whitehead or Grant. But Grant does the return thing really well and I wouldn't be taking him out now.

I have no idea what to do with our receivers when everyone is healthy. I'm actually not crazy about Whitehead being on the roster as I like Nelson and Grant more.

I heard someone say that Montreal and Saskatchewan are pretty similar teams and I agree. Both have a strong running game. Both have quarterbacks that can extend drives. Both have receivers that can make plays occasionally. Both are more known for their defense. But with all of that, both teams are not that great or consistent and are/were mostly running on hot streaks. They aren't as good as Winnipeg/Calgary/Hamilton imo and fall into the second tier of teams.

A lot easier to do in 1st place

@MTL VS. HAM @SSK VS. MTL @CGY VS. CGY Considering we haven't lost at home in 9 games i'm going to go out on a limb and say we win our remaining ones this year plus one of the away games to finish 13-5. Should be enough for 1st in the West. Go Bombers

I can't help but think Harris is leaving his team out to dry

Amazing that all I'm hearing from the Regina side is how bad they played and that losing the Banjo Bowl is their ticket to winning the Grey Cup.

Yeah that too. I was actually stating things as a positive. It's pretty clear that to win a game you only have to pass for 200 yards with no interceptions. Having Strevelers running game is just a bonus

He only threw 21 passes today and nearly threw for 200 yards. That's actually pretty decent. 2 TDS no INTs. He's starting to take control and looking way more comfortable passing. Surprised Fajardo only threw 24 passes. Thats time of possession for you

Is this real life

I'm a Bailey Booster now boys

I'm pretty excited to see Rasheed Bailey play. In pre-season I was a Lawler guy but I know there were quite a few Bailey guys.
