He did exactly this against the Riders in the LDC. Drove us the length of the field for the go-ahead TD late in the 4th quarter. Unfortunately our D collapsed and gave up the winning points with no time left. Streveler did exactly what you have described.

That's a strange thing to say. What can he give this team that he hasn't already? He always brings it. Yes he makes mistakes but you can't question his heart.

I took some flac for making a similar comment but I believe you're right. No fight for the ball on that first INT at all.

And I am still amazed how fast Harris gets up to speed. He may not be the fastest man on the field, but between his acceleration and being tough to bring down, he is a force after the third step.

D.Y.K.
With 64 rushing yards on Saturday, Chris Streveler has set a new team record for most rushing yards by a QB.
Congratulations Chris!

Not sure about that, because Calgary has the tiebreaker against Sask. I believe next in line is combined wins against eachother? Or maybe divisional wins?

Man this is tedious. Just ignore him. He'll go away on his own.

Andrew Harris can't run anymore, Als couldn't finish first. Do you ever get tired of looking like a complete moron? You just reinforce every comment ever made about how delusional Rider fans can be? Never change. You think you are getting under our skin when, in fact, we are chuckling and patting ourselves on the back for being so right about your fan base. Even other Rider fans must be just cringing at how badly you are being manhandled here...and you are the one sticking your own chin out saying "thank you sir may i have another".

Problem is no one is going to not cover Andrew Harris ever.

I saw the Riders run a play where the receivers cleared the safety and the DB out of the middle of the end zone and it was completely vacant for William Powell to run in to for an easy TD catch. I immediately thought, Lapo, you have to add that to your playbook for Andrew Harris.

Speaking of getting tested, did you get your results back? Did they find any brain waves when you’re not connected to the collective?
 

Maybe the universe is setting it up so Saskatchewan finishes first and hosts the West Final only to see us play them and have Collaros come off the bench to throw the winning TD in the final minute.

But, if we beat Calgary the next two weeks, we then get to host them for the WSF instead of traveling out there...

Also, if he doesn’t push the ball downfield,  teams will stack the box and there goes the running game.  But I do think they should be using Harris more in the red zone, especially with the OL playing like they were yesterday. 

Streveler
Harris 
Jefferson
 
But for cripes sake get rid of that bloody chain.....I thought we were innovative here not some cheap knock off

Why would they... the head ref was the same asshat gleefully chortling every melonhead first down at the LDC.  Today he could barely contain his green joy anytime there was a Bomber penalty...it’s like he forgot where he was reffing, and remembered in the nick of time

I wish I could give multiple likes for this post. Very well said.

Yeah, after posting I realized I sounded kind of negative on a thread that is supposed to be positive...so after saying that, my 3 Stars would be:
- Harris
- Jefferson
- Sayles
Go Bombers!!

Strev is learning on the fly..and each game there are improvements over the previous.. and int's when pushing/forcing ball down the field I can live with..and with reps and chemistry over time..he will get better
He is still a pretty raw QB solely in the fact he has only 2 yrs experience as a starter at college level and in his second yr at pro level..and pro being Canadian ball as opposed to US ball which he is accustomed to..so to say he isnt a potential star QB of the future at this level is foolish..and really as a starter this year he did enough and had us in position to win 2 additional games in which the defense gave away...chill people

It’s ok, you don’t have to be excited with Streveler’s play, but you should recognize that with a better game plan, Streveler was instrumental in achieving that victory, whether you agree or not..
The plays were called..he executed..we prevailed. He’s learning. That will come with the interceptions too. He will adjust just as he did later in the game when he threw the ball away instead of forcing it.
The team rushed for 240 yards..Streveler 64 yards alone. He contributed. 
I'm happy for him.
(BS - do not try to figure the yardage figures..you have enough on your plate)

Adams has played quite poorly this year and it hasn't really been mentioned until this week. I know Matthews was a healthy scratch for Montreal, but I have to wonder if we would've been better off keeping him around.
It's interesting that everyone is quick to put Streveler through the ringer, especially when almost everyone can agree that our receiving core has had major issues. Adams has shown a lack of fight, Whitehead is useless in our O and Demski is almost a gadget player himself. That doesn't even take into account the terrible playing calling we've been saddled with all year. What kind of production can we really expect from a young QB in an offense like this? 

Don't know what's going on with him but I have not been even slightly impressed with his effort the last couple/few weeks, especially. If effort was the determining factor for the #1 receiver then I'd give it to Lawler right now.

Streveler is getting an education and educations are always expensive. Streveler did not get enough reps over the past couple of years to make for a smooth transition from backup to starter, and I have concerns that McGuire is getting the same lack of experience.

We have been willing to be patient with a head coach for 6 years. Why in the world would we not be willing to be patient with a young QB that shows so much promise?
