I like how we were pretty aggressive with Streveler however with a minute twenty on the clock after a poor kickoff return there's no excuse for not keeping the ball on the ground and keeping the clock running. That 2 and 0 killed us there.  You run on first and run a draw play on second. If you make a big play then you go more aggressive. You don't leave Edmonton the maximum amount of clock there.

It is amazing that we are not complaining about the 23 year old Rookie QB that took the field and scored three touchdowns.. Rather how the D was not able to make a stop to win the game or send it in to OT. 
 
Strevler played better then i expected showed a lot of promise.. If he does the same in montreal, we will likely come out with a win. 
It was nice to see his dad in stands cheering and looking so happy!

Please fire him

Disaster? I thought it was a great game. Bombers are exactly what I thought they were, a really, really solid team.
Your OC didn't help the rook when he needed it most; on the second to last  last series. He needed a couple of high % plays there. A run would have helped. Your D will continue to give up big plays as long as Gaitor remains in your secondary.

This is one of those things people are going to use to harp on you about how you make too many threads.
This could easily fit in any post game discussion thread. You haven’t even created anything of substance here. You have four sentences, one fact and one thought.
I’ll share my thoughts though, since I don’t feel like being the guy who comes in here just to tell you what a grave mistake you’ve made ... our D looked predictable and unfortunately, it was being outcoached that did us in from what I saw ... didn’t catch the whole game, but I saw the end and it’s a classic case of being far too predictable in your schemes and trying to go to the well too many times. Might work against a Streveler ... not against a Reilly
 

I honestly think we are going to freaking slaughter Montreal next Friday. This front 7 against Willy. Dear lord.

Some thoughts...Firstly no sense to jump to judgement of doom and gloom due to loss as well as there wouldn't have been a reverse jump to judgment if we won...you have to give it a game or two, and ones where you don't stop and go with delays 2 times.
Reilly will do what he did again to other teams as he has before to us and others..thats why he is League MVP.
The defense wasn't that bad...on the first long TD Randle had great coverage and actually got toe tangled when he went to make a play on ball and fell..you couldn't ask for better coverage and it was a great all around play...as well as the 2 point convert...Gaitor had great position and was a phenominal play and one 9 times out of 10 that receiver wouldn't have made...luck sometimes goes against you.
The defense will be good and when settled in...not an issue..Biggie although he Hurl'd it on one play made several plays that last years MLB could never dream of..and Reilly was his slimy greasy self and several of his escapes would have been sacks against anyone else.
Streveler played good all things considered...first game...new to CFL..conditions and delays and put us in a spot to win...he will get better so future there is looking good. He's smart and guaranteed he will not make same mistakes again...and really the pick Sherritt got was a horshoe up the butt play too...not so much a QB error...Wolitowski too if more sesoned would have came back for the ball a bit more to attack it as opposed to let it come to him.
Also I am not one of them "what if" type of guys but if Nichols was in there we win handily...he rips apart that secondary and the defense is off the field probably at least 5 mins less...if not more, as we would have controlled the game more and kept Reilly off the field...not to mention if Medlock didn't eff up that one FG the game is most likely tied or we possibly win...lots of positives and negatives to take out of the game.
Lets reserve judgement until after the next 2 games where I would be shocked we aren't sitting at 2-1

Collaros is 4-15 since returning from injury... including the 0-8 from last season.
This is a guy who has never played more than 14 games in a season and never thrown over 3500 yards.  He has been in the league since 2012.
He turns 30 this year.  The OL in Sask is a total question mark.  He looked awful in pre-season.  Rider fans should be very nervous.

Really thinking we are going to be pleasantly surprised with Bowman's ability to come up with the ball on 1 on 1's.
Besides Adams that wasn't in our arsenal at all last year

Uh, did you watch the Riders final PS game on Friday?
Collaros, Mason, Roosevelt, Holley, Carter, Bailey, Moncrief, Eguavoen, Hurl, Edem, Gainey... Oh, and the O-line. That's well over a dozen projected starters.

While having glowing optimism for BC, SK, et. al. 

Just when some of us were beginning to take you seriously...

Chris Streveler is a former NCAA QB who came straight to the CFL.  10/10 in his first preseason game.  OK.  What else?
Streveler attended Marian Central Catholic High School in Woodstock, Ill. and he led them to an 11-1 record and conference championships as both a junior and a senior. He was named conference Player of the Year in 2011 and 2012 and was a first-team all-state selection in 2012 and was recognized as Academic All-State in 2011 and 2012 and named team MVP.
High school highlights:
After high school, Streveler signed with the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers program.  The Gophers play at the highest level of college football, Division I FBS, in the Big Ten conference.  He was a backup in his freshman year and went 4/11 with 1 TD and 1 INT.  In 2015 the team moved him to wide receiver.  Following 2015, he transferred to the University of South Dakota to get some playing time at QB.
The University of South Dakota Coyotes play in Division I FCS, the second highest level of college football, between Division I FBS and Division II.  Stefan Logan played there too... a long time ago.
In 10 games in 2016, he went 164/273 (60.1%) for 1947 yards, with 22 TDs and 9 INT.  He also ran 161 times for 823 yards and 9 touchdowns.  The team went 4-7 and missed the playoffs.
In 13 games in 2017, he went 316/481 (65.7%) for 4134 yards, with 32 TDs and 8 INT.  He also ran 168 times for 720 yards and 11 touchdowns.  Streveler was also the runner up for the Walter Payton award... awarded to the top player in Division I FCS.
The team went 8-5 and lost in the second round of the playoffs to Sam Houston State... Timothy Flanders' alma mater.  Streveler had perhaps the greatest game of his college career against Sam Houston State, going 33/54 for 520 yards and five touchdowns with two interceptions, to go along with 51 yards rushing with one touchdown in a losing effort.  
And now he is here, starting game one of the CFL season.  All eyes on Winnipeg, June 14.
Help us Chris Streveler.
You're our only hope.

Its good to ease Streveler in against Hurl...

Jennings just seems like a boom/bust guy.....this chucking it up, on a team with less talent at R, would probably look fugly.......

Our worry is Jennings. He needs to step up. 

I like it, I feel like he has the higher ceiling. Could he implode? Possibly. But, Ross looks like Alex Brink 2.0. Take the chance and go with the guy who can potentially keep this offence afloat long-term.

Actually if Hardrick and Foketti can't go..and we have to dress 4 national O-lineman to start the game we conceivably don't have to start 2 national receivers and one of Tompkins/Flanders wouldn't have to even be a DI.
I truly hope we 46 Lankford to start the season and see what Demski/Augustine/Fogg do on kick-offs and utilize Tompkins or Washington (if ready to go) as the 4th American receiver. They offer you way more than Lankford as a receiver, and really...not having Lankford on roster as a return guy isn't going to be the reason we lose a game...but a big bodied stud receiver could be a reason you win a game

That Travis Yost tweet is almost completely inaccurate.
#1 scorer - Jonathan Marchessault: expansion draft from Florida
#2 scorer - Reilly Smith: trade with Florida to ensure Vegas picked Marchessault in the draft
#3 scorer - William Karlsson: expansion draft from Columbus
#4 scorer - Alex Tuch: trade with Minnesota to ensure Vegas didn't pick Eric Staal or a young defenseman in the draft
#5 scorer - James Neal: expansion draft from Nashville
#6 scorer - Eric Haula: expansion draft from Minnesota
#1 scoring defenseman - Shea Theodore: trade with Anaheim to ensure Vegas picked Clayton Stoner in the draft
#1 goalie and probable MVP - Marc-Andre Fleury: expansion draft from Pittsburgh

god you start a lot of useless threads.
