Depends, as of today Ottawa looks like the only team that will really be searching for a starter (even MBT is playing well at the moment). I’m not sure he’s a pending FA, but if he is, Nick Arbuckle will be everyone’s first option. Will there be two teams looking for a starting QB that would view Strev/Nichols as an undisputed upgrade? I have my doubts.

I agree completely. I loved seeing that and hyped me up even more for Saturday (if that’s even possible).

It’s amazing that Edmonton didn’t win a GC with Reilly throwing to Zylstra and Walker.

Our biggest mistake was refusing to let Sask interview Lapo. We could’ve killed two birds with one stone, replace our incompetent OC and saddle our rivals with a mediocre HC.

Matt Nichols would’ve gotten absolutely killed out there with Augustine unable to pick up a blitz and Lapo’s playcalling. We don’t even get into position to win that game if Nichols is starting over Strev.

Strev isn’t too blame for Lapo calling for Strev to stand back in the pocket and beat the blitz or for running the ever predictable draw play on second & 24.

Yup another huge play we missed out on. A terrible first down play to counter the blitz and then the awful draw play on second and a ton. I need some strong alcohol to forget about Lapo’s playcalling..

This is why I’m so against giving up two points for 20 yards of field position. You give up the safety and they still have a chance to score, not to mention the amount of illegal block penalties that happen on punt returns in the CFL that can help drive them back further. We give up a safety, let them score a TD and that’s the difference in the game.

Well what else does one expect on Labour Day?

It’s disgusting how a hold can let Fajardo run for a first down but we’ve been getting all the tick tack penalties all game.

The Riders scored a TD off of our safety. We gave them a 9 point touchdown drive.

I love that Strev can do things on the field that Nichols just can't do. Watching him shake off would be tacklers is a thing of beauty. I'm never comfortable in a football game where you can lose on a FG. Those two points we gave up in the first half loom large.

How was he not in there?

Love the decision to go for it. That’s playing to win.

We managed to knock ourselves out of field goal range... STOP RUNNING DRAWS AND SCREENS ON SECOND & LONG IT HASN'T WORKED ALL GAME.

Gotta have those quick slant ins when the Riders are blitzing like that.

Love the fake, we haven't seen (or needed) the patent O'Shea fakes this year. Now let's go and take the lead.

Great call to beat the blitz.

What a terrible play call, execution and throw.

Man Streveler is a beast! We need an RB who can actually read the blitz, Augustine is going to get Strev killed.

How on earth does our DB let them complete a pass there?

We could really use a game breaking receiver in our lineup.

The Riders are holding every play and we get that garbage call on a QB draw?? Awful officiating today.

Huge stop. That PI call was complete garbage though, that wasn’t even remotely close to being a catchable ball.

Nice drive guys! The game would be tied if we didn't give points away.
