McGuire sure did make a nice play on the winning field goal tho, high snap, brought it down nicely, turned the laces, for the win.

Collaros with Streveler coming in on set plays.  Streveler isn’t a starting quarterback at this stage but can still be valuable.

Zach, zero question. 

I have points and games played for Normie Kwong (1948 & 1949) but no other individual numbers for the season.
The Winnipeg Tribune mentioned that Kwong & Harry Hood accumulated about 150 yards (divided equally) in the September 12 game. The Trib had a more detailed account for the September 17 game - Kwong had runs of 71, 16, 12, 8, 6 & 0 yards.
Kwong played all 12 games in 1948 but was only listed as a starter once. In 1949, he played all 14 games and was listed as a starter 9 times. In this era, if you subbed out of the game you could not return until the following quarter. As a result, starters usually played big minutes. 600 yards seems like a reasonable estimate.

Another reason is that muscles get stronger but tendons and cartilage are the same as they were back in the day.  These are the weak link and the cause of almost all injuries.  It is not just football.  Pitchers get Tommy John surgery thrown in with their first MLB contract.
 

There may not be official stats, but I bet Stats Junkie knows.

If 11 and 7 with a backup QB for the 2nd half of the season is bad,  i hate to be the new coach. Yeesh. 
Its crazy. Imo we match up well vs both Cal and Sask.. Cal is vulnerable on sp teams.. Sask is just not as good as their record. Lots of close wins. U know, i dont hate our chances to rep the West. 
I think Hammy is the class of the league tho. 

In summary:
Records on this night...
Andrew Harris—No. 1 all-time in CFL rushing yards by a Canadian, and eclipses 9000 yards.
Mike Miller—now No. 2 all-time in CFL career special teams tackles, and most amongst all-time #Bombers (185)
Willie Jefferson—most pass knockdowns in a season by a D-lineman (16)
It was a good night indeed.

So he should just react without thinking about it, even though it could cost his team in a major way? Even though he has people who are paid to look at those plays and advise? even though he has an opportunity to question refs about the play? He should just react, to show he supports his QB to fans who for some reason question that? Why not just have him call a timeout for no reason at all, would do the same thing.

I wonder. Seems like the trend now is for NFL teams to prefer a veteran journeyman back up QB, and maybe have a draft pick or highly touted UDFA as developmental. Streveler I don’t think would be of much interest. Hybrid what? QB/RB? Doesn’t have much good CFL tape throwing 

I feel like Collaros and Nichols are similar QBs so ZC can run MN playbook. In theory, things could look a lot similar to earlier in the year with Collaros getting the bulk and Strev running the short yardage and special packages.... 

Can we put Big Chris to bed as a starter finally? He can have warm cookies & milk. The gap between Streveler & Collaros is astounding. It seems like light years.  Just the instincts & smarts Zach showed tonight is something that will take years for Streveler to learn, if ever. 

The team record that Chris Streveler 'broke' dates back to 1956. John 'Buddy' Leake gained 633 yards rushing that year. Buddy Leake was a starting HB for all 16 games in 1956 and also served as the backup QB to Eagle Day.
Next on the list is Kenny Ploen who had 541 yards rushing in 1960. When not playing QB, Ploen shifted to safety.
Others on the list include: Matt Dunigan 517 yards (1993), Eagle Day 477 yards (1956) & Steven Jyles 452 yards (2010).
* Leo Lewis did play some QB in 1959 and served as the backup QB for the playoffs & GC. He had 730 yards rushing in 1959.

Who's even close? Not Strev... Not as an overall QB. The biggest thing is the ability to read D and process everything instantly. I still put Nichols up there with pretty much anyone in the league right now... When he's fully healthy. 

Good point on the blocking.  The difference in the run game last game was the blocking from the receivers.  Big difference.

The usual suspects taking their veteran's day by the sound of it.  We are fairly healthy for this time of year.  
Is anybody going to practice this week?  I would be interested to hear how Collaros looks.

I was a big Hefney fan when he played for us. That has nothing to do with choosing to sell drugs or using them for that matter and yes.. you and many others are making excuses for him.
Popularity, who brought it in, who profits from it and how much over the limit he sold aren't the issues. Legality is the issue. Hefney knew it was illegal and should have known that he could get 9 years or more for selling cocaine. He did it anyway. That's on him.
 

I can only speak for myself, but if I give Streveler heat for throwing the odd INT, it's more to do with pointing out that it is not always LaPo's fault that the offence doesn't click like so many wish it to be because they so desperately wanted Streveler all along, even when Nichols was healthy and we were winning, and they can't bear to admit they were even a bit wrong. Those who thought the offence was dull (I'd use methodical and predicated on zero turnovers), predictable (hey, we have Andrew Harris, guess what we are going to do? - now try and stop us) and easy to defend against (apparently not given we were 7-2) now need to scapegoat LaPo and make excuses for Streveler when he makes obvious errors.

The challenges with that strategy is we have recently witnessed what happens when opposing defences know we are going to run the ball. Cold weather or not you still have to make opposing defences respect the threat of a pass and a deep passing threat.

Yes, when we win, they suddenly disappear. 

But we did get a lot of really important talk about when we should fire Mike O'Shea and why the answer is 3 years ago. 
Put the last month behind us, kick the crap out of Montreal and send the trolls back to their bridges. 

I'll never understand the entitlement of "WE DESERVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING!" .....No. If keeping things close to the vest is the best course of action, then I trust them to do what's right. If we don't need to know, we don't need to know. 

This makes management look like a joke.  I am in agreement with firing them all now.   Canadian Mafia my azz.  Holy trinity..... holy krap.   I wonder if Streveler and McGuire are seeking any advice on what to do next with their careers.......MOS probably didn't even care because pinball all ready contacted him.... MOS an Streveler to Toronto next year and a grey cup appearance...
bombers now the proverbial leafs of the cfl..... 

All we need to do is win our playoff games and Collaros is better then any of those quarterbacks you mentioned. 

People around here never change. 
Seems like the expectations were that we acquire a QB that doesn’t exist.
We got the best QB we possibly could have at a very tolerable price. Literally no harm done by doing this at all.
