The Bombers are an OC,  qb & receivers away from a Grey Cup as well so....

and a safety

Powell is hands-down the best tailback in the CFL. Refs really tried to give the game to SK in the final 6 mins. SK isn't very good but Bombers are worse.

The way he reads the blocking, cuts back against the grain and bounces through - reminds me of the grand old days of Chuck Diesel.

With that O.....the Sask D has no margin for error

That's what did us in. Gainey trying to strip the ball instead of making the tackle lead to the long run. That was game over

Burns me that we lost back to back to these guys.....

You have no qb. simple.  Riders have trouble with a passer. They wouldn't go after Harris for fear of Powell, and Powell was hurting us too. Perfect storm.  Nichols scares no one, shut Harris down and wait for the Picks to come.   Riders mistake was not blitzing, we should have went after Harris guns blazing and we didn't

Can't help but agree - shut down Andrew Harris and wait for the picks to come - seems to work quiet well. Wonder if Montreal saw the game film on how to handle the Bombers? I was surprised that neither Hughes or Jefferson got a sack last night. Maybe the Ottawa OL is a little better than we had thought.

Exactly. Not to flog the deadest horse on this forum, but, that’s the argument to start Streveler. He’s not Mike Reilly, but, as a defensive coordinator or player, there’s some fear. You lose containment, he can burn you with a run. He gets into the secondary, he can out run, or run over a DB. Teams are salivating to play Nichols now

Hughes and Jefferson are successful against weak olines and when we blitz. We gave Harris all day to throw the ball. Big mistake. He is simply too good to have that much time. It killed us

Streveler should be starting your next game. Nichols is done and won't even be on your team next year. How could anyone justify paying him 450k next year? Ditto with the Riders and Collaros

What some here have been predicting came to pass last night. The Rider defence was good, but not quite as good as in other games, the offence was its usual self, and Elizondo came up with a plan to beat the Rider defence with an average O-line. As Suitor pointed out repeatedly, the Rider game plan was to load up the box and stuff Powell. Ottawa countered with an outside passing game and when the Riders tried to adapt, Powell was sent into the line to seal the deal.

Streveler doesn't scare anyone either in case you didn't notice he was 1 and 2 and passed for less than 200 yards in both losses and had virtually the same production as Nichols. The QB problem we have is coaching.

Nichols has 72(?) starts and is now producing 200 yard passing games.......Big Chris got his feet wet early in this league and matched Nichols....... I hope we can revisit this after Big  Chris starts 70 more games......

I can tell you that Collaros scares no one either.

How about just changing the launch point, you know roll him out of the pocket, why have him stand there like a statue waiting to be sacked.

Change it for Nichols ?.......it wouldn't matter for Nichols because his mobility is severely lacking.  Once he picks a direction to move or run the defence are like hungry wolves on a sick yearling moose....
