Hope things are going ok with your wife, my thoughts.
Streveler is fun to watch, and I'd rather try to tackle a moose- crap he's strong on the run
Get him outside , cuz only the DT's are stronger than him 1 on 1 , and get him reps- he needs muscle memory and timing at game speed 
Sure, play this week to kick our ass, but then use the remaining games to get him ready for playoffs - mid and long throws so he has his mechanics down, not just trying muscle the long balls 
Once again- hope the banjo bowl is your biggest worry this weekend  

Running for 200 AND passing for over 200 would be friggin awesome...., I actually hope the Bombers have the opportunity to run up the score on them,  and they do it.  

We should get Streveler to do this to Craig Dickenson.
 

For all the potential the “eye in the sky” had, it has turned into a curious waiting game for the fans who want to see correction to the game we love.

For my money they can get rid of live mic games and replace them with mics in the command centre so we can hear the process they go through when reviewing calls or deciding whether to make use of the "eye in the sky"

And he has to keep putting quarters in the slot so he doesn't lose the feed.  

Looked like O'Shea was pointing at Dickensen.
 shows you how completely shitty that ref crew was yesterday.  O'Shea restrained by his own staff. He's never like that.
Refs did a very good job of ruining a football game.
 

I think Streveler is so far coming along just fine. We knew there were going to be more ups and downs than with Nichols. Whereas Nichols is consistently mediocre, Streveler right now fluctuates more between good and bad. I think when he's given time in the pocket, he does just fine passing the ball - we need to give him a better chance to succeed. Our protection has become a major issue lately.  I honestly think if Nichols had played we would have been blown out. Sure he won't throw the interceptions, but he will also take way more sacks.
Streveler is easily the best chance we have right now of developing a good QB. I'm more than willing to see how this plays out.
Also: LaPo gotta go. Watching literally every other CFL team have more pass success despite worse talent, its hard not to think we could sub in Generic CFL Playbook and get more production than from LaPolice's gameplan.

Anybody watch any of the other games. FFS Torontos O is more creative than ours and moves the ball more. Receivers are actually open. Balls are thrown to spots. 
Lapo is so overrated

Was getting concerned after the first quarter but I look at that game thinking Streveler made chicken salad out of chicken **** more than a couple of times

I thought he took a beating, some of his runs were running a gauntlet.
There's no way to tell how well he can play till they
1. Run some plays that suit him.
2. Get him more than one second to throw. O line was not very good in this game.
He certainly showed real leadership, gutting out enough offence to win the game, pretty much on his own.

I think the guy is very young and has the tools. He's almost on par with Nichols despite playing 8 less seasons.
It just may be the coordinator after all.

What I do believe, is without Harris and the way our OC calls games, Nichols would have had to be scraped off the field yesterday. The rebound from the hit that Streveler took in the backfield was very impressive. 

In the end our O scored to take the league.. Our specials pinned them deep.. Our D couldnt keep the riders under 50 yards to win. They gave up 80. 

In the three decades that I've been watching CFL, I can't think of a single year where I felt the officiating was decent. Often it's been brutal. A lot of fans have just come to accept this, and say that in the end it all balances, out but I'm not so sure of that.

Blatant holding by the riders....The refs. either chose not to call any and let the boys play.....but then...when we were moving the ball on a couple of drives, the flag for holding on us suddenly appeared ...Total bull$hit and I hope we don't get that same crew for the banjo

I get the random holds.. Call both teams. But how do u miss the head shot on our long snapper. Just BS. 15 yards. FG range. Riders need a TD to win. 

I know its dumb but i think the league needs to seriously look at the officiating in these games. Blatant holds resulting in big plays not called..the headshot to Remple.. Thats 15 yards and our ball still.. The head ref cheering for Sask.. It was just BS. Did it cost us the game? Well when u lose by 2, yup it sure did.
Does anyone truly know what a hold is or isnt? It's just so randomly called. 1 team can do it all game with no calls

Respectfully, I would counter your argument as follows:
1) Andrew Harris - heart and soul of the team and our leading rusher and MOP candidate, did not play a single snap. On top of that, his suspension was a significant distraction for the team this week.
2) The release of Matthews also arguably could be seen as a distraction.
3) Nichols was out for this game, it was only Streveler's 5th career start as a QB (I think).
4) They lost by two points on Labor Day, the 'Riders have won 13 of the last 14 LDC games going into today. They. own. Labor Day.
5) As much as I hate to admit it, the Riders are 2nd in the West - they have a good team - it's not like they just lost to BC.
6) Mosaic Stadium is not friendly to visitors, we just have to make sure IGF is just as loud and hostile.
All things considered, this team had every excuse to rollover and die being down 10-0 in the first, with the place going nuts, a backup QB, a backup RB and a venue that in recent memory has been an absolute house of horrors for this franchise. They fought hard, came back, and almost pulled it off. Valiant effort but that's how the chips fall sometimes. Go out there and get after 'em in the Banjo Bowl.

I understand what you're saying...my concern tho is the not-uncommon confirmed instances of cross contamination among supplements. 
I am in no way an expert on supplements or steroids. Have never taken either ...however...since we know that contamination does happen and is not rare...and we know that in this case the amount detected is not even in the range where it would be at all beneficial...and the player in question has never tested positive prior even having been tested more than most other players...then maybe the evidence should be slightly more substantial to forever place an asterisk next to a player's name. But zero tolerance policies give us no room to consider things like intent which, imo, is not in the spirit of justice.
To me this is like a person being accused of rape with the only evidence being a security cam frame of an arm around an alleged victim. There is evidence of an association but none for intent to violate a law. In a case like Harris' an association is all that's needed to confirm guilt.
The Jeffery Dahmers of the world aside...it's the reason I can't support a death penalty.

I actually shouldn't say "married"....let me rephrase..........don't ever commit to a long term relationship. Stay single as long as you can.......my best advice for everyone.
