Yep we were so sure of ourselves that we didn't take the sure thing

Terrible display last night but it's just one game, no matter how excruciating. Nichols needs to be a lot better and hopefully will be.

Buono was first half O'Shea and O'Shea was second half Buono. They were both terrible. O'Shea wasn't smart enough to take points. It's a road game ffs. That's why I'm hanging this on O'Shea moreso

Lulay was basically chucking and ducking all game. You lower your head and someone is going to hit it. Thought a couple of those calls were straight bs

Blame rankings imo: 1. Nichols 2. O'Shea 3. Lapo

To be fair he put more trust in who is supposed to be our starting Qb and leader to make a throw. And he barely hit a wide open Adarius Bowman that one time. Guy is looking putrid

Does Nichols have a full 300 yards yet? Awful

Feel jinxed against Lulay but come on. Our players man to man were better minus the Qb position and coaching decisions. Brutal and so frustrating

You could have literally won this game by handing the ball off to Harris every down. O'Shea, Lapo and Nichols....this is on you.

Bunch of questionable calls by the refs, questionable decisions by the Bombers and questionable play by Matt Nichols. And here we are

He turned it up several notches

If this hasn't been mentioned... This is what a good defense can do to keep you in the game if your offense isn't getting on track

They're cutting down on the explosion plays by allowing 15 yard mini explosions down the entire field

Can't see how we can be so concerned about our rookie Qb more than our inability to make any plays on defense lol

If the defense could make a stop in the 2nd or 3rd quarter maybe our rookie qb could get some traction. Being held off the field for 5 minutes at a time is tough

Fair enough. I'm not arguing that there are QBs that can run and pass. I'm just having a hard time thinking of a guy that could run as fast as he can (period) with his size and willingness to truck a DB. Maybe I'm getting a little too excited and showing some bias...he just seems to be on another level running the ball from other QBs currently playing.

I can kind of see Kerry Joseph as a good example. Mike Reilly has great escapability but to me doesn't run like like Streveler.

For the record I said speed AND size. Edit: He is listed as 6 foot. He always looked small to me. Streveler looks and runs people over like a linebacker.

Example? Just curious. I may have forgotten.

I'm not sure Streveler is a QB that will consistently throw for 300 yards because he will legitimately run for 50-100 yards a game. I'm not sure the league has seen someone that can run the ball with his speed and size at the QB position. Shouldn't that at all change how he is ranked? I guess we'll see as the year goes on.

They are in danger of not winning a game if Ray is out. Good thing for them a one win season probably gets them second place in the East.

Be more athletic, Willy. It's true though, he is not great once he feels uncomfortable in the pocket.

Probably but by how much? Willy was not given a steamboat most of that last game. Hard to evaluate a qb like that If we're talking overall passing game yeah... Sask is leagues better Oops that was supposed to be an edit

Should be a fun game. You're right, this isn't the sad sack Montreal Allouettes. Don't see Timmis as much of a factor. I could see them throwing swing passes all day to try to get away from our d-line/linebackers. Get the ball in the hands of their speedy playmakers and test the talent of our DBs to come up and make a tackle. They handled Edmonton fairly well. Should be a really close. The other games next week are looking interesting too. OTT @ CGY - Two teams that are coming off big wins. Gotta think the winner of this game will be the top of near the top in the power rankings. BC @ EDM - Rested bye week team coming up against an already beat up Edmonton squad. Does Edmonton slide to 1-2? MTL @ SSK - Sask should be the favourites by quite a bit here. Dud of the week.
