but the article says "Cody Fajardo breakout star" twice so it has to be true
That team looks like the kind of team that has to have smoke blown up their **** so that the fan base doesn't run into the fields to wait for the telethons to start.

We can only speculate on the game plans when Streveler was starting. But it was noticeable and kinda odd that they rarely moved the pocket for him. It looked like Lapo just continued with the Nichols lead offence after that initial Edmonton game. I agree with the posters who are saying his passing game is under-appreciated. He can throw some darts into tight spaces, and his deep ball has connected a few times right on the money. Can it improve? Of course, but he's far from being a run only QB.
I'd like to see him behind a vet again for another season, but getting some decent reps each game that are more then just run or had off to Harris. Move the pocket for him, getting him rolling out with options to throw. Of course he does need to get more comfortable in the pocket as well, but that will come with time (ideally).In terms of QB for next year. I'm good with either Nichols/Strev or Collaros/Strev. Do not want to see Arbuckle/Masoli/MBT here though. Just too many uncertainties with all 3 for me. Saying that, I have a feeling Strev will find a spot on an NFL squad. Which isn't horrible as I am really interested in seeing what Mcguire can do if he gets more game time.
I doubt a gimpy QB gets a long look in NFL. I think Streveler will be back. I don't get the interest in Arbuckle and Masoli. Is Masoli going to be available to play at the beginning of the season? Has Arbuckle shown so much as a starter? I know The Argo's have been mismanaged but there clearly was no confidence in MBT. He would put up big numbers in a game and might not start the next or he would throw a crippling int.

Unless this lad can keep up with the big boys in the weight room he's not taking reps. away from the other DT's.
I imagine 281 at draft time last year is < than today's playing weight after a year of training at pro level.

I haven't bought any yet either. I have been dropping serious Xmas hints and if that doesn't work or I want more then to the store with a big bag. Last week exposed a serious lacking with only 3 shirts to wear for the work week, A championship shirt would be very appropriate for next year's grey cup week.

Apparently Ryan Dinwiddie is having his 2nd interview for the Ottawa HC position and BC is interested in speaking with Maas for the open OC job. It looks like the only open HC position is Edmonton and I just can't see Lapo being a strong candidate.
Will the board survive if Lapo returns for the 2021 season?
Oh the board will thrive. Conflict creates activity. As you can see the post cup after glow is almost gone and Lapo is a good target for the wrath of only winning one Grey Cup. Obviously the team should have got a better QB and OC and stayed an extra day to win another cup.

and a dirty one...sneaky dirty and usually good for a bad penalty a game...he's always a guy who likes to pile on a guy who is already down for an extra un-needed cheap shot
Speaking of dirty does anyone know who twisted Streveler's ankle? I watched the CFL wired on TSN and I couldn't see it there. CFL Wired did give a better view of the the Hansen 2 for 1 hit than the broadcast did.

Now that he's been to the top and shown who he is I am not sure he can get back to those ways. Would much rather roll with Buck.
Hey I said he could be an OC, I never said I want him to be an OC here. I would rather seem him work somewhere else. I have no idea how far along the line Buck is but it is always good for an organisation to promote when it is appropriate.
We are talking like it is a given that LAPO is out of here. I think he is too but he will probably be back in 5 years for round 4.

He'd be a great choice for Saskatchewan with Jim Daley as Assistant HC.
Come on man. That is so cruel even to the flatbillies.

I can definitely see Maas here in a Co-OC role with Buck if he doesn't get a HC job from Ed or Ottawa.
He said before the Grey Cup that Osh is one of his best friends.
He is a good OC , IMO
The guy who could hire me when I know my job is in jeopardy is always one of my best friends.

True, but his first two seasons were forgettable and many opined he was the wrong choice and continued to do so even during this season. I don't know if there's a special formula for becoming a HC, at least no as far as career progression goes. I think it's got everything to do with a coach's substance that makes him HC material. Reinebold doesn't strike me as the type, much in the same way LaPolice doesn't.
Oh I agree. I was just throwing shade on the motorcycle BS that Reinebold used in 1997. Fun Fact: Someone stole my coffee cup at work so I used a 1997 Blue Bombers schedule mug I found in the cupboard there. I almost spilled the coffee shaking with the PTSD from that season.

So with Lapo taking on a HC position are we okay with Buck Pierce getting promoted or do we have a dream candidate to argue about?
Also, Dinwiddie as HC in Ottawa? Can't believe that is realistic.
Hey Reinebold signed witht he Bombers as a head coach from a special teams Coach. That worked wonderfully. I know I was full of wonder on how that all happened. On the other hand MOS also jumped from STC to HC. But he stepped in not rode in on a motorcycle.

Mass is not a good leader to be a HC...to volatile and doesn't garner respect of players like a guy like Oshea gets..Dickenson's..Khari..Orlando
Dickenson is a whiner. When he is miked up it is insuffereable. My hormone affected daughters whined less than that guy. That annoys me in a leadership position.

Dont forget that that play was not "for the win". I dont understand why crider fans dont seem to understand that.
It has already been established math is not the strong point there.

I'm just going to whine about this because I never got it out of my system early this week.
For all the, "well if it wasn't for that goal post, we would have won!" from cryder fans:
1) Exactly, that pass was going to be intercepted or knocked down, no doubt
2) When throwing a football, attempt to not hit anything in the way of your target
3) and most of all, if you want to attribute the goalpost as a lucky thing, try the non-call on the pass across the LOS, the arguable forward pass on what would (should) have been a fumble recovery), and the LUCKIEST part, a ball getting batted down right into the hands of the receiver setting you up in the red zone to potentially tie the game (at which you failed).
There, that feels better.
I stopped the video replay and clearly there are 2 more defenders than receivers. Fat chance that is getting caught. Burnham (sp?) doesn't play for those guys.

I am wearing a t shirt underneath. I am not sure if it is the hair or the belly but I haven't seen that button for years.

Unreal start to the weekend at Spirit Of Edmonton... Got to hang out with James West and his wife. Good booze and good tunes. TiCat morons went up and hugged The Cup when it was brought in for pics... BAD KARMA. We got our pic taken but wouldn't dare touch it.
One other cool thing: You know The Traveling Jagrs? There's a crew of Traveling Glenn's! A bunch of guys who all have Kevin Glenn jerseys from the various teams he played for. So they all got a picture taken together and as they're separating I see...... KEVIN GLENN.... he came to SOE and got his picture taken with the Traveling Glenn's! Too awesome.
Great ****** night....
James West Cool. I am wearing a number 58 mesh shirt from 1985 or 86 at work today. I wear it every game that I watch. I think the Glenns are podcasters or are there more groups of Glenns. Sounds like a great time.

I think they didnt execute or plan well.
I am shocked to hear you say they played undisciplined. Penalties were down but boneheads were up.

Interceptions and turnovers could be the Cats Achilles heel, just the advantage the D is looking for to gain an edge, it would go along way to winning the game if the D could contribute to the point total.
OH OH OH. I know a team thats real good at that.

Fajardo and the Riders ran out of luck on that last throw.
Well Actually (I'm one of those) there were 5 DB and 3 receivers in the endzone within 20 yards I think that even without a goalpost the Bombers would have had a good shot at knocking the pass down.

Yep, that was him. 0.5 seconds of his face over someone's shoulder. Apparently he did a few other commercials as well.
Actually he appeared twice in opposing shots so someone saved money on extras.

I remember him. He felt Goltz was a superstar.
Wasn't Goltz the one who did a snickers commercial with Robin Williams. That's a bigger star than a lot of guys come on.

On another note I am not so sure about Canada (media domination) but in the U.S. there almost no regulation of supplements compared to food and drugs. Why? politics of course. I heard of a case where a "natural" supplement that was supposed to act like viagra actually had a broken viagra pill in it. Everyone not just professional athletes should be very careful when using supplements.
