Honestly, this board is so split... It's Nichols' fault, Stevler's fault... MOS's fault... Lapo's fault.... It's everyone fault and it's no one's... Ultimately, it's Roberts fault for drinking all night and Glenn's for diving for that ball.

Justin Medlock has made 58 consecutive field goals from inside the 40 yard line. Based on my research, it appears as though Paul McCallum holds the CFL record with 59 consecutive field goals inside the 40 yard line (2010-2012). Others on the list include Sean Whyte 57 (2015-2018), Justin Medlock 50 (2015-2017) & Lewis Ward 49 (2018-2019) I have submitted this to Steve Daniel of the CFL for consideration.

This should be enough to get you banned. Stfu.

The offseason is so long how can anyone not care about any bomber game? In 2 months time we will be begging for meaningless preseason games

HH - The fan who slipped Demski a fiver for scoring his TD

𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴‏ @DarrinBauming 58m58 minutes ago Mike O’Shea says Chris Streveler doesn’t need to practice. Streveler is apparently in the building but was not on the field for practice. Not a big fan of comments like this.

I’m going to ask you take a break from posting .. or I’ll look to give you a break. We get your point of view. You don’t need to repeat it ad naseum in every thread.

1. Collaros - he's back! Can Lapo keep him upright? 2. Bighill - usually useless, but 7 tackles, 1 sack. Heating up at the right time? 3. Grant - flipping the field at opportune times HH - me. I'm drunk!

Arbuckle Collaros Masoli Nichols Streveler I ranked them based on the alphabet.

Didn't support bringing ZC in but he's here and wearing Blue and Gold so now he has my full support. Hoping he lights it up, stays healthy and gives our coaching and management staff something to think about heading into the playoffs and beyond.

I have numbers back to 2016. Teams have been successful 29/55 (52.7%). 2016 2017 2018 2019

Homer: Yeah, that's right, Barney. This year, I invested in pumpkins. They've been going up the whole month of October and I got a feeling they're going to peak right around January. Then, bang! That's when I'll cash in.

Who's finishing?

Skunk on a roll. Casts aspersions at Milt Stegall for supposedly looking unhappy signing a picture for his son. Then it's diminishing a $10,000 donation by Nichols to the Children's Hospital. Has to be reminded by others here to quit being an asshat.

Please don't try to down play his contribution. That's still a big chunk of money for him.

Plus tanking this game fucks over the Riders so there's always that.

Well he probably won't play but not a benching but simply because he's injured and chances are the game won't mean a lot in the final standings and with the bye week in the final week of the season it gives that extra time for the guy to heal for the playoffs. Honestly I don't think Streveler was as bad as people think he was. Yes the int was not a good throw, but Bo Levi MItchell threw a pick and could have thrown another if Fenner had expected the ball to be that badly thrown, it happens in football. The problems with the offense are the same things they have been forever. Lapo has built an offense that relies on Harris and Streveler breaking tackles and dragging guys for extra yards or for Whitehead or Demski to out run guys on short passes and pick up yards after the catch. We don't really have an effective downfield passing game. They're slow and methodical on offense when it works and grind games out. It's fine when you have a lead or are early in a game with time to play that way, but when we need to score quickly this team has nothing.

I can't believe I'm reading hate for Strev... Christ sakes. He was a warrior tonight. Needs a wheelbarrow to carry his balls in. Had some tough drops that didn't help. Curious to see how bad his ankle is...

I’m ready for O’Shea to move on

Walk off win! Start erecting the Collaros statue!

I'm on record as wearing that badge with pride. Also :

As in the tradition at my house every Saturday night.

DON’T DO THIS!

Talk of "western separation" simply makes me angry. It's juvenile and is nothing more than a populist talking point with no foundation in reality. A little reading: https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/why-alberta-separatism-is-the-dumbest-political-movement-in-canada-today I'm usually more thoughtful when I choose to post in these threads but this nonsense just irritates the **** out of me. I'll gladly sit down with anyone and talk about my view, over a beer, where we can agree to disagree like intelligent .. thoughtful folk.

Practice? We're talking about practice? Strev don't need no practice!

No, he was suspended for breaking the rules, like Harris. But obviously "it wasn't performance enhancing, so we can trust his numbers and not Harris' !" So, Simoni Lawrence got suspended for his illegal hits, which is part of his performance and his style of play. Will he get knocked for his illegal style of play which could enhance his play-making (receivers fear the big hit?) Obviously apples and oranges, but if selective morality is going to be a factor in voting and not performance-based, then consider 2 things: 1) Brandon Banks got busted for violating the league's drug policy in 2016 and still got the team and Eastern nominations for Best Special teams player, and was voted as a divisional all-star, and he is a leading candidate for east MOP this year, so how do voters reconcile that if they ignore Harris on principle? 2) Here are Harris' numbers before the positive test, after the test and before the suspension (appeal period when he knew he'd been caught), and after the suspension: BEFORE TEST: (4 games) rushes 58, yards 378, avg. 6.5, TDs 0, long 52, rush per game 14.5, yds. per game 94.5 receptions 18, yards 101, avg. 5.6, TDs 2, long 20, rec. per game 4.5, yds. per game 25.3 touches 76, yards 479, avg. 6.3, TDs 2, long 52, touch per game 19, yds. per game 119.8 AFTER TEST/PRE-SUSPENSION: (6 games) rushes 83, yards 530, avg. 6.4, TDs 3, long 56, rush per game 13.8, yds. per game 88.3 receptions 28, yards 236, avg. 8.4, TDs 1, long 34, rec. per game 4.7, yds. per game 39.3 touches 111, yards 766, avg. 6.9, TDs 4, long 56, touch per game 18.5, yds. per game 127.7 AFTER SUSPENSION: (5 games) rushes 69, yards 408, avg. 5.9, TDs 1, long 21, rush per game 13.8, yds. per game 81.6 receptions 21, yards 171, avg. 8.1, TDs 1, long 74, rec. per game 4.2, yds. per game 34.2 touches 90, yards 579, avg. 6.4, TDs 2, long 74, touch per game 18, yds. per game 115.8 So has there been a significant enough drop-off to suggest he was getting enhanced play because of the drugs in his system? This of course assumes he isn't still using, which would be quite surprising given he got caught once, is likely being tested more closely now, and given his stance that this was accidental would REALLY be taking a risk of destroying any of what is left of his reputation if he got caught again. I make no determination personally if he should or should not be left off for his conduct, but if I were a voter these are questions I would ask myself and expect to explain if asked by others.

To be fair, there isnt a OC in the league this year that has been able to keep their qb healthy.

I'm going to say Nichols injury (which happened around the same time) was a much larger factor. Especially since Harris has basically been himself since coming back, argument could be made that he's been better.

She may not have held the position for long, but I do believe that distinction goes to Kim Campbell.

You guys don't have enough faith in the spectacular upset that BC has in store for the Stampeders!

“Strev is tough. A real competitor. So when he said he was good to go as long as he could play the game seated on an electric scooter I said put the ball in the front basket and get out there with your teammates.” Mike O’Shea - post game. October 25, 2019

I'll tell you one thing and that's IF Streveler does start and he doesn't last past a series of downs ,I'm going to be one pi$$ed off fan...This is a nothing game...it's between riders and stumps to see who takes the top rung...We're playing out the string and it's time to test McGuire and see IF Collaros has anything left... After this game ,the bye week will give us some time to figure something out (although some say if we haven't figured anything out by now....welll).. Circumstances have changed a bit with the addition of Collaros...We made a deal for him....let's see what he's got .. AND McGuire

Better yet, since you made the sweeping, general statement, you provide the details. I’m not about to compare Streveler to Mitchell, but to say he can’t put the football in tight spaces is incorrect. Ex. Short pass wide side to Whitehead 1st quarter. Pass was accurate on the inside, only Whitehead could catch it. Short pass to Lawler as Streveler rolled out. We gambled on third down and got the 1st down. Short pass to Whitehead, same quarter, hits him in stride, and he has blockers...drops the ball. Quick hitter to Bailey, right on target. Swing pass out to Demski, accurate to move to 3rd and inches. Final play of the 1st Q, Streveler rolls out to his left, hits Harris with a pass for a short gain. Tell me why all these plays don’t count for Streveler. These are the plays that were called and he executed. Very very similar to what Nichols does in the same type of offence. The difference being more running plays are called for Streveler as opposed to Nichols. Then the Lawler pass for a TD. That counts right? There are lots of examples if your open to them, but you’ve already made up your mind. Now I agree, Streveler’s accuracy for longer passes needs improvement, but he doesn’t get many called for him. So, I’ll be patient, and not write him off with LaPo directing his game.

Guys .. you should know by now I don’t step in often (I let you sort things out amongst yourselves for the most part) but I’ll ask that we *try* to keep discussion on the game / team and away from each other. I know it’s hard, I’m as frustrated as anyone, but your help here would be greatly appreciated.

Streveler can barely walk on the sidelines. How do you put him back in as head coach?

It's Andrew Harris bobblehead night this Friday. Likely our last home game of the year, so drink up! Don't forget to bring a tin for the bin. Please insert anger, disappointment and frustration below

Amen...I didn't wanna be the **** who said "real fans still care" but.......what can you do. There's a TON at stake in this game, never mind the fact that I'd take ANY kind of Bombers game 12 months of the year. CFL football is everything to me....no such thing as a zero interest Bombers game and there hasn't been my entire life.

Get fired? Probably.

Are you suggesting Nichols was taking more shots than the average QB in the CFL. I really don't see it that way.

Regardless of who plays QB, can Augustine get some goddamn carries? We may not be unanimous on who we want our QB to be in the playoffs, but I'm pretty sure we all want a healthy Harris.

Coaches are paid to win championships & O'Shea hasn't come close. Regular season wins are nice but it's more than that. A culture of winning is needed as well. Winning is expected because they actually do it. No pretenders. At some point, a lack of post season wins is going to cost O'Shea his job here. Unless he leaves first.

Are they garbage or are they not put in a position to succeed? I’m honestly not sure, but I see a ton of 5-7 yard curl routes for our receivers. Limited to no threat of an intermediate to long throw, and those plays are tough to be successful with. The passing game is definitely broken and it’s not likely on any one person or position group.

All the QB comments aside, and I’m a Streveler fan like most, this comes down to coaching plain and simple. Streveler has been with the team for 2 years and has been given little opportunity to develop his throwing abilities. Buck pierce was a Streveler run first pass second so how would one think he could develop his passing game. And if memory is correct pierce wasn’t that great a passer either. Then you have the game plan being practiced week in week out....short pass game very few long balls little time to develop chemistry with receivers outside 10 yards and no development on timing ie throwing to a spot where the receiver is supposed to be. So from a coaching perspective little developmental input hence little development. Another point that has been mentioned here, why did the coaches risk Streveler’s career and health seeing what we all saw....a guy who could barely walk let alone run ! Any sensible coach would have taken him out whether he wanted to or not the first time he could hardly get up! Why do you have backups dressed....to look pretty? I blame O’Shea first and Lapo second...regardless of what Streveler said he should have been taken out and replaced by either of the others. and finally why did Harris only get 12 touches running the ball.it certainly says something about the game plan when the QB has more rushing attempts and more yards than the leading rusher in the league! oh well maybe next year!

I will tell you this: is everyone on this team had the heart and will that Streveler and Harris have (Including the coordinators) they'd probably never lose a game. Just can not see Streveler ever succeeding with a guy like Lapo running the offense for him. He is too much a competitor to play in that passive bullcrap game Lapo loves. He needs someone like khari who will give him the green light to be aggressive and force the issue. That's just the kind of guy Streveler is. play it safe isn't his thing.

Well except the head coach because a team player doesn’t question his HC

1. Streveler 2. Harris 3. Sayles HH Jake Thomas People, this team is not done. They had some unfortunate and inopportune penalties that kept the Stamps on the field and resulted in points. A QB and a team that fight this hard are going to make some noise yet.

Usually a supporter of O’Shea but he largely wears this one.
