There's so many players that had a great night last night... it's hard to single out just three... there are three guys I want to mention, maybe not necessarily as the "top 3" stars, but just guys I think deserve a shoutout... 1- Kennall Randolph (I'd like to start the petition to call him Kenny Randy) - Thank you for your service Mr Lofton, but you are no longer required... we still love the years Yoshi gave us but he's dead to us in green... Randolph is the future and current starting tackle of this team... whether he remains on the right or takes over for Big Stan on the left 2 - Mike Ayers - He just makes plays... I'll admit Kyrie Wilson played well last night... but I hate that it's at the expense of Ayers... he should be an every down defensive player 3 - Keric Wheatfall - I don't like to anoint anyone too early... but it's looking like we really have something in this guy... could be a stud for years to come.... A million other players also played great last night... Strev, Peterson, The entire Oline, Demski, Jones, Kramdi, Vaval, Holm

That 31 yard net punt from the lions 51 was ugly though. He was punting poorly from mid field but decent from our side. He struggled picking up the right guys, and when he had position failed to contest the catch effectively at all. Pretty disappointing, but he didn’t play that much in pre season and hasn’t played in a while. Maybe he needs to get the rust off, either way he’s gotta be better and quick.

Despite all the offseason losses of star players Ive had the feeling for a long time now that we were going to be a better team this year from last. We have a lot more depth than we had last season. Last year there were very few second year guys who who really in a position to help the team if memory serves me correctly and as a result we had to go with a lot of first year players. 2nd year players are the best value you can get as a CFL team. Rookie salary in an experienced player. We have made up some of our biggest losses by changing the ratio and the early returns are stellar. I'm no longer worried about losing Ford's turnover creating ability at short side corner. Bridges already has two picks and he's doing this on a rookie contract. I also think that left guard we have is a massive upgrade of Dobsen and again on a rookie salary. Wheatfall is on a rookie deal too and will quite likely produce more yards than Lawler did last year or the year before. Vaval to me looks like legit returner I wonder what if any role Logan will have when healthy. They can just keep him on the injury list reducing our cap hit and wait until we need him. Streveler looks like a legit backup qb. I just love how the new OC let him run the offence and he played against his old OC who never let him do that and beat him throwing touchdown passes while the highest paid primadona qb in the league couldn't get it done vs us under Buck's tutelage. Clearly Streveler is not himself yet with that brace and that made it a necessity for him to run the offence. I really wonder if the plan for him this season is to focus on knowing how to run the offence and to be backup. Just speculation but I think maybe they won't want him as the short yardage qb pushing off on that leg. The real question I have is if BO is out next week where does that leave our ratio? Peterson made a strong case to leave the ratio as it is. I hope we find a way to get Cooley on the roster and use a combination of the tight end set to get him on the field replacing Sterns with a canadian tight end and also use the designated american rule to give him a bunch of additional snaps and use a two back system. Thoughts?

It’s odd. Rourke lacks that charisma to bring in new viewers. He seems like a boring guy honestly. If tsn were smart they would be pushing guys with personality and charisma cuz those guys could prob draw new viewers. Boring rourke giving boring answers won’t. Streveler has more fire and charisma even. You could hear him talking crap on the field. Didn’t hear much from Nathan. “Do you know who I am “ stood out to me later in the game. Perhaps on the 4 for 4 drive.

Betts was in Strev's ear all game. I'm pretty sure I heard the mic pick up Strev saying to Betts "Do you know who I am, I don't eat that ****!'. lol.

Now we just need him to win the Conn Smythe.

I hope he plays...we are so imbedded in his head....

Watching the 1 minute of highlights today and my god Dustin Nielsen is a clown. You'd think Nathan Rourke won the Grey Cup with his pass to make it a one score game. Then they gloss over the fact the Lions got worked. They are trying so hard to make Rourke some sort of legend.

I go down picking a QB.

Farhan must be in tears his Lions got worked

1. Streveler - Bad start, tossing 3 shoulda been picks, but got away with it and went on to look like a real QB. 2. Peterson - Welcome to the CFL, now replace the MOP and get 100+ yards. 3.Demski - Caught the first TD on his fingertips giving Streveler the confidence he needed. HH Vaval - Flipped the field over and over.

Matthew Peterson hails from the foreign land of Brooks, Alberta. What an incredible game! If he was looking this poised in camp, I can see why we felt comfortable rolling with him as our backup RB instead of rostering Cooley. I love how understated he was even in celebrating his first career TD on the sideline. Locked in.

Streveler - Ill eat crow, he looked great. Hopefully he's turned the corner for good. Peterson - No Brady, no problem. Looked like a seasoned vet star RB churning out yards all game. Wheatfall - Here is the next great Bomber WR folks. Vaval - Hit the holes hard and looked wicked fast. O-line - Kept Streveler clean all game for the most part and opened holes in the run game. Made Betts a no-show. Great game overall. Lets f**king go BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUE!

I just read their GDT...What a collective group of assbags...

JT had some push......He looked good enough in the first game, Lawson got some reps...my hope is as Lawson "gets back into game speed/shape" and without rushing it, the rep count tilts from more JT to more Lawson. Ayers is good, he just has "it" I don't think there is any way we cannot have him on the roster is some capacity...he was a demon on specials last night Vaval, needs to secure it better, but fearless runner, he could be a gooder The O-line looked really good, some of them busting downfield, some "grading" I was impressed Strev. was not perfect, but he can play QB and not just FB.... Wheetfal is no Lawler, but he looks like he can ball Peterson, surprised the heck outta me.....what a debut for him Parker had the one play he got beat, but I thought he was in good position most of teh night and if you watch him, he can move, he can close quick Is the long snapper we released picked up by anyone yet? maybe he gets a call back?? Overall both Hogan and Younger IMO had great 2025 debuts Crazy that we won and dominated the entire pace of the game start to finish and without our starting QB, our stating RB after the first series, our returner, and our long snapper

Him and Merv Walker were two of the most annoying guys, ever...

He picked the Bombers to finish 5th in the west, so bitter

Double D! God he sucked.

beside the increase price in beer. The popcorn bags are smaller now too! YOU'RE KILLIN ME WADE!!

I thinks he was more of a safety haha

No Geoff Drover?

That’s why we put Dave Donaldson and Markus Howell out there. Elite defenders.

HH to Hogan who had a team put up 34 points and 450 yards without Zach and Brady. How many OCs have a team do that without their starting QB and RB?

review the 2nd Demski TD and watch how well they worked together on that...Big Stan and VPool collapsed the inside...Neuf pulled left to eliminate the edge rusher and Randolph just pushed the other end out wide on backside and away from Strev to make the toss...You can't draw it up better than that...perfect execution

Good point. BC has some holes, but they will win games due to some of their talent on O. But the Bombers seem to have their number, no matter what.
