Getting things started for game day.

I for one would like to see "Hawk" Tui Eli get in the starting lineup.

I'd look at getting rid of some of our legacy contracts (Bighill, Wilson, Alexander, Thomas) and overpays like Kramdi at $139,000 before getting rid of Brady who is our best player on offense and who is great in the community.

The Ballad of Chris Streveler When I was #17, I drank some very good beer, I drank some very good beer, from the Grey Cup, with a guy named Dee, He was an awesome DB, Now we have Tyrique McGhee, When I was #17

Injuries usually happen when you're involved in the play

The problem is this is what the Mafia sees when they look at the team.

HH to TSN for having absolutely no idea why Winnipeg went for two. Right on brand. Wilson flipped a switch. The dead weight remains the dead weight. Fix it please.

Yeah..I dug out some my old cleats...it's time

Not sure if O'Shea wants to get fired but here's video of him at the stadium. l

The designed qb runs should be based around making big plays not grinding out 5. The threat of him on a naked bootleg or option motion after handing off takes a guy out of the run stop and opens a lot up. When he throws on the roll defenders freeze up soo bad. If we ran offences like what we saw and see used with Fajardo and sprinkled in some qb runs it could turn our entire year around.

Canadian Denny Fortney....and yeah...a lean 280 even...be easyto do with his body type and age....could prob increase his speed as well with more lean weight and some speed training as bizzare as it may seem...we have been giving up the second fewest points per game in the league...and thats with an injury riddled lineup...some early growing pains with ford....and some piss poor front 7 personell and usage.....we dial that in and get anything at all above average from the offence...the ship can be righted fairly easily on the fly this yr, and hopefully next yr is just some tweaks and a few free agent adds ...as opposed to wholesale overhaul from a bunch of dead wood.....gotta make some those transitions here now in the 2nd 3rd of the season to align nicely with the guys we will have back from injury

I bought a Strevy jersey. People can question his passing ability but there is no denying he'll do whatever possible to try to lead the team to a win.

Maybe they’re just going to harvest his bones and organs to start stockpiling so they can build one fully functioning player by the end of the year

My expectations are that our QB should outperform Shea Patterson.

Getting things started for game day.

Did we all under rate guys like Hurl and Hecht too? Cause it was the same **** with those types before as well. This is a flaw that O'Shea has shown from the beginning here. Sometimes he puts guys in positions because talent isn't everything.... yet the team rises to new, impressive heights when the talent is actually played there.

Clercius Maximus!

The point is he didn’t make the play. He ran into it. That being said, all credit to Fatboi. He’s out there hustling, he’s just being asked to do way too much.

Ontaria Wilson looks to be a dawg

Like seriously I watched the calgary game again... Johnson ****** him over 3 separate times on passes. 2 he over ran the zone, if he had say down easy completions and another the ball hit him in the face. But shitty passing and reading a D right? Our rookie receivers are not getting the job done.

Streveler is the least of our problems.

Yes, 8th round pick from this year's draft. He's already done more than players drafted much higher than him so he was a steal for us.

I'd also like to mention that earlier in the week I mentioned bring back the hotdogs, the club did and we won. According to my Analytics system, if you provide hotdogs to the radio crew, you win. You're welcome @DTonOB.

He sucks /thread

Hopefully Sheahan has a strong game

I hope all his salary while suspended goes against the cap too...the Als should get no savings there for being idiots

On that Lemon news

This is all the evidence i need to ignore Pro Stats Canada from now on.

No fancy boy primers. LFG. Edit: Actually here’s a primer. The BBQ went on at 10:30 in the morning and I’ve already crushed 5 hotdogs

This whole who's the bigger fan or judging people's level of fandom is BS. Looking forward to the practice reports later today.

Let Streveler get reps with the young receivers too and they'll probably develop some chemistry. Even in that game saw lots of evidence of that happening 15-20 mins in. You're not going to throw the ball 40 times with Streveler but if you can't build an offense around him, Oliviera, Augustine, Smith, Feltmate, 7 OL and whatever receivers we have you're a dumbass. So much for a D to have to think about there, just give them looks where they have to make a choice to free up some space for a runner or receiver. There's no use running empty backfields and even 3 by 2 etc type formations. Make everyone on the field have to look into backfield to try to diagnose what might happen. You get a couple guys stopping their feet and thinking and you have big plays or at least first downs. Smith is likely the most dangerous American we have on the roster. If he doesn't have a role on offense next week it will be extremely disappointing.

It’s a travesty that he’s playing. Just because he is playing doesn’t mean he should be. Montreal should have done the right thing in this situation.

well we dont know that either until they et him actually play.......Quarterback

It's not all O'Shea but he's fostered a culture where guys are not accountable to one another. These are the same guys who didn't take a snap in pre-season. These are the same guys who were pencilled in as starters without any real or significant challenge to their spot on the roster. These are the same guys who fail to perform week in, week out .. who no longer have the drive, desire or ability to make an impact or be more than a role player. Confidence is a fickle thing and I believe it's important to give an athlete a chance to play their way out of a funk. At the same time, every man must be held to the same standard and it's clear that's not the case. These guys can get up, say what they want to each other behind closed doors or when they're breaking down film but those words ring hollow when there are no consequences and ultimately, there is no accountability without consequence. That's on O'Shea.

I believe we still have the rights to Durant if this Collaros kid doesn't end up working out.

Okay and what about the facts this year? His touch on his deep ball is gone. He has a 2-7 TD-INT ratio. He is hurting your team a lot more than he’s helping your team, the deep ball to Wilson that Milligan knocked away should’ve been a walk in touchdown, and maybe two years ago it would’ve been, but Zach has lost it. He looks a lot like the Zach that played for the Riders.

Not only is this a (rare) win for the Elks, this is a win for the league. Good bye and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

For the love of God, can we get someone to help Willie. That poor bastard is killing himself out there while we trot out an 8th round draft pick and a sumo wrestler.

Eugene Goodlow with 15. Someone already updated Wiki: Most Receptions – Game 15 – Eugene Goodlow – versus Calgary Stampeders, November 1, 1981 13 – James Murphy – at BC Lions, Jun 26, 1986 13 – Derick Armstrong – at Saskatchewan Roughriders – September 2, 2007 13 – Ontaria Wilson – versus Calgary Stampeders – July 12, 2024

I don’t even care about that one. Sometimes it’s useful to rub the refs noses in it and get their heads in the game. Think you gotta challenge that potential PI to put you on the 1 yard line.

I keep going back to the first time I saw Strev play live in person in his first season. When Nichols was completely washed up and couldn't do anything outside of a 5 yard dunk pass. It was 100% clear Nichols was shot and the O was lethargic and was so easy to gameplan against. Strev comes in and plays as a QB who scrambled and occasionally ran for a first down. His weird throwing motion (almost like he was flicking a dart) was surprisingly effective since it released the ball quickly and what he did that Matt didn't was make quick decisions, tossed the ball to receivers who were 10+ yards down field and let them make a play. Guys like Darvin and Wolitarsky who were seeing nothing suddenly became part of the game which opened things up. The next season when LaPo was trying to me smart and would run ridiculous flea flicker qb cartwheel cannon ball end around dispy doo plays that would end up hurting Strev and completely neutered him as a QB. We need Strev to play as a QB, the battering ram QB shtick wont last. Last week when Strev rolled out and dumped it off to Brady it absolutely froze Ottawa and those plays are what I think we need to use Strevs legs for.

A campaign of harassment against a team employee is a lot different to me than some criminal activity in terms of whether I'd even consider having that guy on the team. He's clearly toxic. It's not a mistake.

Be realistic. Tsn won't show a replay

Streveler great, Brady great, thought Willie had his best game of the year too. Sergio always great, Kramdi is a guy I defended last year but man is he absolute poo this year, Clercius seems like he’s got that dawg in him, shout-out to whipping boy Jake for a key PKD, Holm seemed solid all game, really wish Cole would get on for Kramdi, Bighill always around the play at the end coming in from three yards away when it’s over as usual, wonder if Woli maybe started the game a bit too amped up for his best man Streveler with those penalties, refs with the worst work I’ve seen in forever probably should just check their phone records and see if they’ve been calling Shawn Lemon let’s go Blue big W love to see it

The elephant in the room is doesn’t really matter if Jake Thomas is getting prime Doug Brown reps, I was actually watching him in particular on Saturday and it was pathetic. He was getting absolutely man handled. Makes the jobs of the three other guys beside him that much difficult when he can’t hold his own in there.

strev basically had to work out rust and get re-acclimated to being a QB as he wasn't allowed to do any of it until he got put in...and as you saw...once he calmed down...realized he wasn't just trying or having to run guys over...he looked way different....and that was with 3 receivers who are so green....throw him out there with 4 guys who have exoerince....and you will see a big difference...especially with teams having to respect his running...use him in pocket...sprint outs...botlegs...etc....some legit option stuff....and then we cooking with fire....I'd give him the Ottawa start....

Hey All, I just wanted to come on and say 'Go Bombers Go!'. I know the start of the year has been frustrating, and hopefully will bring about some change. O'Shea is stubborn but not stupid. He helped develop a team that has gotten to the 'Grey Cup' 4 years in a row. Needed player changes will come over the year. And its better to have these issues cleaned up through this one than next when we host the Grey Cup. I sincerely wish everyone a happy Canada Day, and enjoy the weekend. Drink a brew, spend time with the family, and cheer on our boys in blue!! Matt

Watched this guy his whole career at NDSU. He's good enough to get a legit shot as an American player. Easy 1st round pick. Mardner was 2nd overall in a great draft. Very comparable. Top receiver on a run heavy team at NDSU, weak QB in 2022 who got better in 2023 (QB likely to be CFL prospect too, Cam Miller still at NDSU). Guy that was used lots downfield, screens, intermediate, full route tree. I'd expect there'd be half the league or more bidding their 1st rounder.
