I hear what you’re saying, but, this is Streveler we’re talking about. The running is a part of his game. As he gains more experience he may cut back on the running but, how can you take away part of his weaponry? It just wouldn’t work at this time.

D.Y.K. Last week, Winnipeg became the first team in our 'Possession/Drive Chart Data Era' to score a TD on their first 4 drives (2005-2019). *The total margin of Winnipeg's 4 losses is just 12 points with defeats by 8, 1, 2 & 1 points in 2019.

Chris Streveler scored 3 TDs last week giving him 12 and a single-season WPG record for a QB. Old record: 11, Matt Dunigan 1993. (Streveler is now just 2 TDs short of the CFL record for a QB of 14 set in 1991 by Doug Flutie and tied last year by James Franklin). These aren’t just stats. They’re a vital part of why our offence has been so productive, leading to success, and success usually comes from having good stats. That must mean good stats are good. I’m so confused.. 🤔

I believe I read that Neufeld graded out 3rd over the last couple of years on our O-Line..

Tendency. I’m certain that’s a play call. Run the ball up the middle, on a stacked defence for ten, then see if we can do it again after no gain.

You’re missing the point..

It isn’t a team thing involving yardage and averages. This is a 2nd year player trying to assert himself and prove his worth. This is exactly the kind of progress we want to see from our “back up” QB. Totally different.

It’s nice to see Chris Streveler at the very top of the QB Accuracy grades in week 15 https://www.cfl.ca/2019/09/24/accuracy-grades-target-week-15/

CFL Headlines Head CFL official admits referees erred by failing to eject Vernon Adams Jr.: The CFL’s director of officiating admitted Vernon Adams Jr. should have been tossed from the game for his helmet swing at Adam Bighill. “It’s a miss. Although it can’t be confirmed, through any source, there was mention of allowing the games the Bombers play, to be two 1st halves played consecutively. No 2nd halves involved. I really do forget who mentioned it.

I’d like to see us take more chances on offence because, playing safe, hasn’t really worked out for us.

I don’t want see that kind of failure again in the last minutes. From the offence, or the defence. I don’t see monumental failure like that collapse from good teams. Can we not just use 9 DBs to actually prevent big plays? I can envision a 3-9 package rotating our nose tackles and DEs to keep them fresh and to keep the opposing team’s guessing. Rotating 6-7 guys up front definitely would cause confusion for the opposing teams because they seemed to have figured out how we deploy as it is now. I don’t pretend to know the answer, but it certainly seems, after a few tries, that our team doesn’t either.

Fans should listen to the interview itself for the full context.

So, when do we hear from the CFL that perhaps something more should have been called when Adams went a little berserk on Bighill...with a weapon? Wednesday? Thursday? Tuesday?

How can we..when we feel the same way.

For all the brilliance shown in play diversity in the first half, we switched to anti-first down mode, especially in the 4th quarter. We, as fans, cannot understand how the Coaching staff cannot see...with their own eyes, that the plays called at the end of the game, don’t work. Dammit. Get mad. Make this work. Cause if you do, we will be very hard to beat.

Stomp. That’s what we did. We stomped. Unfortunately, we lost. But once we figure out the end game, who’s going to beat us? No one. The first half was about as dominant and varied and controlling as you can put out. And it was Streveler who performed. I’m not disappointed with that effort at all. The result? Yes, but not the overall game. It wasn’t an elimination game. We’re going on. We got it..

8 of the most ridiculous (and below average) words, that I’ve read on here.

“Absolutely, he’s innocent” “I’ve been around him a long time. I see how much he works. I know how many times he’s been tested. That’s pretty easy to stand behind him for those reasons,” O’Shea continued. O’Shea said he paid no attention to Bowman’s comments. -https://leaderpost.com/sports/football/cfl/andrew-harris-is-innocent-bombers-head-coach-oshea-vehemently-states/wcm/460dc74c-f82f-455d-96c1-571dae783714 Coach knows..

It changes from week to weak..

DYK “I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that really before,” Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach Mike O’Shea was saying this week. What he’s never seen before is two members of the same special teams unit tied for the CFL lead in tackles. It’s happening right now, with Bombers teammates Mike Miller and Kerfalla Exume tied atop the list with 18 special teams takedowns apiece. Miller recently passed O’Shea on the all-time list and now sits third with 178 special teams tackles, six back of Bombers president and CEO Wade Miller (no relation). He needs 12 more tackles to tie the all-time record, held by former B.C. Lion Jason Aragki. Ted Wyman, Wpg. Sun Special Teams..Special Difference
