I don't know?  I think if there is one area where a player can make an immediate transition from the American to Canadian game, it is in the secondary.  Pass coverage is pass coverage, and if a guy is fast enough with good vision, I don't care if he's never even seen a CFL game, he should be able to cover.  But, that said... In Hall's scheme, where there is little to no man coverage, it would probably be a waste of talent!
There is the pre-snap motion that will be a little different, but a talented DB should be able to adapt pretty quick.  Who knows, maybe it would be too late in the season!?  I just feel something needs to change, and quick!

I had plans in the works to be out in Calgary and stick around for the weekend to see the game in a few weeks... my dad was going to come out there, brother in from BC and go watch a good game!  After last night, that whole plan has been scrapped.  Why waste the money to go watch Bo Levi probably throw for 500 on this secondary. You know the frustration is peaking when you've got 20, 30, 40 year season ticket holders that are seriously considering not renewing next year!  I talked to several long time fans after the game last night, and the feeling is consistent.  This coaching staff needs to be blown up!

OK.... "Matty"  VS  BC, EDM, OTT, TOR, OTT, HAM (L), TOR (L),  CGY (vs Arbuckle in his 3rd start?), BC
Streveler... VS EDM, SK, SK, MTL, HAM
say what you want, but the Bombers (not Matt, not Strev) the team... had a much softer schedule earlier in the year, and now we're seeing the true colours.  Very talented team on paper, but can't thrive under it's current leadership.

The QB draw on 2nd and 15 was when I stopped watching

This game was a season breaker.

the fact that he even wanted to come back and play football after the gruesome leg injury he sustained in Edmonton tells you all you need to know about his grit and toughness. His decision making in the pocket has zero to do with toughness... he gets rid of the ball to avoid getting hit, sure, but isn't that the nature of the game?  Not many can be Mike Reilly and sit in there and just take repeated beatings game after game and expect to last!   If he's played his last game here, he will be remembered as a good game manager with a winning record as a Bomber.  Wasn't the flashiest, but did enough to get the job done more often than not.
That said, I'm excited to see how Streveler progresses.  I think we're in very capable hands with him under centre moving forward!

Making $100k/yr for seven years doesn't make you set for life.

You have to hope LaPo spreads his gadget plays around a little, and actually lets Streveler play Quarterback and throw the ball tonight!

Oh, I agree... McGuire should definitely be your next man up.  The thought of him being the #1 at this point though is mighty scary.  Not that I don't think the potential is there, but my god, if you're now down to your #3 for the home stretch!   Yikes!   I'm sure a few other calls would be made in that scenario!

Maybe the issue shouldn't be having to have the CFL pay.  Maybe the issue is living in the only country in the Western world that does not have universal health care.

Is there any kind of boat advertising at the stadium today?

You know, we have never lost a game wearing those jerseys. A lot of respect and goodwill, maybe, but never a game.

I wouldn't say it was cowardly check downs. I don't doubt the toughness of Nichols.
I think it was more so him holding onto the ball to long. 

Prediction: Streveler gets hurt tonight, paving the way for Kevin Glenn to come to the rescue and win us the Grey Cup that was stolen from him.  🤩

And yet, the offence has been better without him. Who knew?

I just don't think a Matt Nichols led team can win in the playoffs against a team like Calgary.
I do believe that a Chris Streveler led team can. Nichols did a lot of good things for us and helped take us out of the dumpster, but I don't think he's the QB to take us over the hump.

pretty easy to plan your defensive scheme when you know the ball isn't going to get thrown over 10 yards.   You would think that THIS WOULD be the time to pull out a changeup and toss one deep when they aren't expecting it.... LaPo needs to really mix up the playbook moving ahead, or we're going to stall every second half.  The receipt for success against us should now be well known to the rest of the league!

Also... this franchise has been struggling the last several years, and we need to ensure they are doing well and increasing attendance, so a winning record is paramount.   Oops, we didn't say that out loud, did we!?

Don't forget we're trying to sell this team and we've already buried the story about alleged payments under the table.

Drew??  He got sacked a lot!
