What exactly are you trying to say here?

You know I don’t feel too bad about this loss. Without our starting QB and best player still forced them to a last play FG. Streveler is showing progress as a passer.

I agree. Steroids don’t randomly contaminate legit supplements. I am beyond pissed at him. Until proven otherwise I’m blaming Harris for this situation.

This game isn't too bad but mostly I find NFL preseason football almost unwatchable.

That was when BC was competitive. Plus we really haven't had real rivalry with them in a long time when both were near the top of the West standings. Bombers playing for years in the East didnt help.

Well I guess we are going to find out if Streveler is ready to take over. My concern is his passing accuracy. He will in all likelyhood be practicing with the starters this week in prep for the Esks. Hopefully Lapo will design plays to get the ball out quickly. I must admit some of my frustration with Nichols is his penchant to hang on the ball too long which led to his injury. Throw the pass or into the stands, just a oid taking the sack after 3 or 4 seconds.

Needed the loot for Reilly and Chung.

I'm not going to make a big deal about yards but I am frustrated that Nichols caves when the pressure is on and we need to make a few first down to extend drives. Nichols kind of reminds me of Kirk Cousins: a decent QB but will only take you so far. He has to lead the team to wins in close situations to have my confidence restored in him.

Spoiling a monster game by Harris. This better be a wake up call. Just can’t take your foot off the gas. All phases of the team need work.

So the question has to be asked: when does Rider fans QB obsession switch from Streveler to Arbuckle?

Power went out at the lake at 13 to 3 for Esks. I assume matters did not improve for the Leo's after that. Speaking of the Lions, where is Lyin' Guy? Wasn't he touteing the Lions as contenders in the west prior to the season? Has he been banned already? I'd like to get his take on the disaster so far.

Highlight of the night for rider fans ... Seeing the Stanley cup brought into Mosaic, hahaha.

Can't play Toronto every week and look what happens.

Score flattered the Redblacks. If not for 2 turnovers the game was over in the 3rd qtr. Nichols bounced back with a good game. Only bad decision was his inexplicable choice to keep running after getting the 1st down.

I don’t look at yards as the main measuring stick for QB success. I look at how how well the offence moves the ball using both the run and the pass. In BC Nichols was very effective at sustaining drives and completing passes when he needed to. Against Edmonton he started out reasonably well but regressed as the game wore on. While he wasn’t terrible on Thursday I don’t consider his play very effective at all, as a couple of big plays by Whitehead padded his stats. Playing like he did against Edmonton will hurt the Bombers going forward, and he has to be better. Can’t rely on the defence to bail the team out every game.

Bombers should have won going away. Offence just went cold especially Nichols. Thank goodness the D came to play.

You know I think I can find better things to do than watch the end of this disaster. Like clip my toenails.

I missed the game but I saw him get beat for 1 TD. Was he just as bad the rest of the game?

I didn’t get to see the game but Rider fans were crowing about their defence prior to the season and after the Hamilton game. Sure looks like a terrible performance from them against questionable QB talent. I’d be a little worried if I were a Rider fan.

OMG, you are contradicting Rod “swami” Pedersen. I agree with your post, Bombers do have a d3cent shot this year. I knew ther were some reasonable Rider fans out there.

I recall a Bomber win a couple of years ago in Regina when a rider was called on a high hit on Nichols (I think), and a particular poster on Riderfans was mad at the call and posted "Suq it up, Nancy. It's Football". Shoes on the other foot and suddenly we have a league problem. To be fair, Lawrence deserved and ejection and a suspension for that hit.

Real nice to see the big play by Schrott. About the only highlight for me really.

I don’t think he’s even shown up in Winnipeg. Assuming he is under contract that would be grounds for suspension. Aaaaaand I get “trumped” again.

I wasn’t aware Corney retired due to injury concerns. I must have missed that discussion on here because I was surprised the Bombers didn’t try to re-sign him. Now I know.

Last Bombers pick is a dB from Montreal. Certainly a candidate for longest last name in the CFL.
