TBURGESS

Sure, the W was the most important thing. That doesn't mean that Nichols played all that well. He hit the bomb then missed his next 3 deep balls. I don't think that Nichols was a difference maker in that game. I don't think it would have mattered much if Streveler had played the whole game instead of Nichols. It would have still been a big win because it was the defense that set the tone and won the game. Heck, Streveler put up 14 points in just over a quarter of work to Nichols 10 in just under 3 quarters.

That was a month ago and I was one of them. I was happy to see Streveler, LaFrance and Peterman get the 4th quarter yesterday.

Actually, most around here want Nichols to start because we've won the last 4 games.

Not really. Hit one big play. Would have been thrown for around 200 yards if he'd played the whole game. Led the team to 10 points which was enough to win, but then again the 7 that the defense got and the 14 that Streveler got were enough to win too.

Only threw for 155 yards including the 72 yard bomb. You're easy to please.

Good choices. I'd go with Streveler over Sayles because QB is the harder position to play, but it's close. I'd also go with Medlock.

Seriously? I hope you take this personally... I think you are an idiot and that you legitimately don't know anything about football, because you don't.

Ya, he won, but only because he was on a dominant team. Great name tho. 😀

I hated that Burgess guy. When the best thing you can say about a QB's performance is that they didn't turn the ball over... That's not very high praise.

At least get the arithmetic right. He played 3 quarters. (150/3)*4=206. Half of his yardage was on one play, so not sure he even gets to 200. BTW: When was the last time you saw a QB hit a 70+ yard bomb and not make even 250 yards?

Not much to analyze or argue about when we win 31-0. Everyone's happy.

Bighill - All over the field. Created the first turnover. 8 Tackles. Loffler - 2 Int's, say no more Streveler - TD's thru the air and on ground. HH - Adams 72 yard TD and drew a PI that kept a drive going.

We know what Matt (Avg 219 YPG) looks like without his top receiver. Just look at last year when Adams went down or this year when Dressler went down. BLM (Avg 295 YPG) looked great until his 4th receiver went down. Reilly (Avg 307 YPG) is struggling because his OL isn't picking up the blitz, because Walker is down, and because the lost Bowman and Zylstra in the off season.

Looksl like it's Lulay - https://montrealgazette.com/sports/football/cfl/bc-lions/b-c-lions-lulay-feeling-good-expected-to-return-from-dislocated-shoulder/wcm/fb1c9f57-cc6f-450b-963a-e3e58cd54444

Cuz that's exactly the same thing. All QB's are trying to hit the gulls. Once or twice a season they do. {Insert eye roll meme here}

I'll bet that Dressler uses that tactic every time he gets a chance, because it's a good tactic. I'll bet that every inside receiver does too. Heck, we had plays designed like that in high school football back in the '70's. Once, maybe twice a season, league wide, the DB runs into the post. If you don't see the element of luck in it, I can't change your mind.

Apparently, we can't offer off season bonuses until the new CBA is reached (https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/cfl-stop-paying-players-off-season-bonuses-1.4505416). That likely means that we won't be signing many players until it's been signed.

Sure it is. Every receiver should have it in their repertoire and every DB should know where they are on the field.

It's a good move vet move by Dressler that doesn't mean it wasn't lucky that the DB ran into the post.

Fogg stumbled and went down. No OPI, just bad luck. We got that back when their DB ran into the goalpost in OT which gave us a good luck TD.

Actually they do or they'd be in trouble.

You sure that's not his hand underneath that the ball bounces up from?

I saw it again this morning. The first spot that the ref put his foot down was short. It was also not where the ball was when the ball carrier went out of bounds. The second mark was closer to the right spot. If the Eye In The Sky looked at it, they probably would have agreed with the corrected spot instead of the original spot.

I'm a Jennings fan, but if he's not putting the work in, then he'll never be able to take the next step.

Bighill - Not just for the play of the game that won it for us. Adams - Didn't drop a ball. Harris - 160+ yards of offense. I would have given him player of the game. HH - The goal post for taking out the DB on our OT TD to Dressler.
