Rourke flummoxxed by Princess Audio Stadium.

Vaval attacking that ball.

well well look at our Canadian depth.

Big Kev!

BC is starting 4 import OL, right?

nope, #20 was right there.

Lions bit on the fake to Peterson where Strev was close to the 1D ... was a credible threat on that play.

welcome back Roadhouse!

JT chugging around the end on the stunt, forces the throw.

Rourke managed to gallop a bit .. but they got nothing else.

Peterson spelling Brady early on a non-running down.

vive la Vaval!

93 Vaughters with the pressure! and Rourke can't reset, easy incompletion.

will always be a buck fan but damn it's satisfying to see Streveler show Buck he's a QB1.

Hell yeah!

that'll open up the RPO down the road....

Season on with brady snowplowing for five! let's goooooo.

I'd be surprised if Strev is our short yardage QB ... Wilson was fine in that role last year.

aw man, we got Suitor and not Lapo. booooo

things I'll be watching tonight: D scheme -- How many down linemen will we use? Who's getting the reps? How will we trade off pass rush vs. coverage? BC running game and backs -- am anticipating BC will counter JY's match coverage with wheel routes and draw plays. I think Butler is a better back than Stanback right now, so I think BC has upgraded here. like everyone else, super curious to see what kind of offensive scheme they've cooked up for Streveler.

we had the exact same roster frustrations last year and our D was four points a game better than the next best D in the league. and for all the talk of us clinging to veterans, I see we've moved on from Bighill and Alexander -- both super key veterans and leaders since they've been here, guys who were absolutely key in our GC victories. think I'll let them play the games and then judge.

We lost Streveler around Labor Day last year ... we had at most half a season to get Wilson some game reps and IIRC we only had one game against Edmonton that had significant garbage time where we could have put Wilson in. The rest of the games were 100% dogfights and all were must-win to get the Western bye. The very bad early record in 2024 and the Streveler injury really forced us to put all the eggs in the Zach basket and left us real vulnerable to a Zach injury.

The CFL as a whole really de-emphasized the pass rush in 2024. Bombers rushed three on a ton of downs last year. Maybe a reason why the DL looks thin?

if only my younger self knew that if I learned to placekick really well, that someone someday would make a video where they fed me delicious potatoes and gnocci. ...I think I would be in the conversation for best ever pro football kicker. he's right about potato salad too.
