White Out

I could be wrong, but I do worry about Edmonton and Harris/Gable. They have a lot to offer on O. Like BC they have a bad D tho. I'm a born skeptic but a big part of me believes we're far and away the best team in the west this year

Ideally both Alberta teams lose this weekend and we can crush TO, putting some distance early in the season.

Before anyone gets too comfortable with the Stampeders, their fans are declaring them the patriots of the CFL. But better.

I fully expect to beat the Argos up, badly. So, here comes our 1st loss of the season

Edit. Got 3

My concern with Streveler is he seems totally unable to read coverage and do proper check downs. He's athletic AF and has a strong arm, but has the QB decision making of Drew Willy

He struggled last year with a nagging leg injury. He has been great this year and has been a victim of terrible playcalling and tactics in the 2nd half. He's also, u know, 3-0? 1 interception and i think 6 TDs?

Wow. I can't disagree with this enough.

I know you've made up your mind, but, what's the other option? Let me just for a moment cede to you the argument that Nichols is a bad QB. I disagree, but, let's go along with that. Let's say he's mediocre, a game manager who just can't win the big game. A lousy but not terrible QB. Poor. Who is better that we can plug in? Sure as hell isn't Streveler. Are you suggesting we make a play for Arbuckle? Harker? There just isn't a viable option to replace Nichols... so all this jawing about him is incredibly counter productive and toxic.

Nichols is our guy, and the Ottawa game should put that on full display. I'll go so far as to say that I don't think Streveler will ever be a legitimate #1... he just misses way too many reads. But he's a great #2 for us and a great change of pace guy. I hope he proves me wrong, QB depth and strength is invaluable. I think Streveler needs to be playing every game, taking at least 5 snaps a game minimum to keep him sharp, keep Nichols healthy, and keep the other team off their balance.

As expected, as teams got game film on Fajardo, he became totally ineffective. And this is against the completely battered Stampeders defense

OP.

Harris Nichols Demski HH the D. What a job the D did.

To OP: This is criminal that there isn't a mention for Nichols. Get real bro.

Man, I have to really give it up to the D and Hall. They've been spectacular.

I think Strevelers has been ok actually since the 1st two jumpy drives. Bad drop by Lucky. Should be a 1st and another FG.

I was on the toilet, what happened?

Nichols and the offense was humming along. He gets hurt (stupidly, mind you) and Streveler comes in and the wheels come flying off. Not a coincidence. Anyways I'm done harping I want to win so hopefully he gets his **** together and Harris can pound the rock.

For all those who are dying to see Streveler full time instead of Nichols: enjoy. This is what it looks like.

This is unbelievable.

Any update on Nichols on tv? I cant hear the broadcast only have picture

Remember when we got TJ Heath and a 1st round pick for Drew Willy?

So, good news bad news. I finally got a hold of the dude who owns my cottage. He seemed semi interested after a brief phone call. I got his email and sent him an email. Next morning "cottage isnt for rent, sorry". So that kinda sucks. I guess I'll be spending my time in Winnipeg exclusively. Or maybe I'll go to Grand Beach.

I'm stuck at work until late Friday night. Displeased about that.
