Delete... We'll have a thread for FA 2020 which is all that's needed. 

Behind Goltz though.  In Goltz I trust.

The Jets never played or made the playoffs from 1996 to 2015.  The Blue Jays made the playoffs for the first time since 1993 (22 years).  What are you trying to say?  Should we try to miss the playoffs until 2034?

Gonna agree with Brandon.  Buck didn’t have a full season as starter until he was in Winnipeg.  “In his prime” should refer to a season or three, not a series of 4 or 8 games...
 
Khari was a gun slinger when he first came over.  5 and 6 receiver sets, high scoring games, 46 Passing TDs in a season...

No he didn't.     His best season with the Bombers he had 14 TD's and 18 ints.   He also only had 1 good season with BC.

I loved the guy as a player and he put his heart on the field,  but I think your memory of him dominating might be skewed.   Khari had a tonne of big games... Buck played with a tonne of heart and with a crap offense and laid it out on the field.  Big time heart... wouldn't classify him as  some QB rifling big bombs down the field.   

I'd give this post 5 stars if I could. What I saw from Streveler is a young man willing to put in the work necessary to become an elite player in this league. I believe that he will indeed work and study and develop his ability to read CFL defenses and to understand all the fine nuances of the position of QB. To me, he's a bigger, stronger, and more durable Matt Dunigan.

He came though for us. 
He deserves a good send off..
 

Happy for Lapo! Congrats. 

I was looking up fly out Saturday back Monday, $950 on Westjet.  Looks like making the drive with a few guys is gonna be what's happening.  Not looking forward to the drive home Monday.  Today's was bad enough, now it's going to be twice as long!  haha

I went to a RedBlacks Hamilton game in full Blue bomber gear a couple years ago.  Everyone was very polite and talking to me.  Hamilton still loves O'Shea.

A smart choice. That would be bearable. I would rather drive home than stay too. Weather and roads should be great.

I'm going! But doing it on the cheap and simple. Leave Sunday morning, get to Regina for around 2 pm, watch the game, leave right after and home by 1 am or so. No cabs or hotels necessary. 

I'll be in section 139, 5 rows up behind the Bombers

I got tickets Monday morning. Season ticket re-sale tickets. 2 tickets Section 139 row 21. We're behind the Blue Bomber bench. I CAN'T WAIT !!

Thanks, Beerpants! It's been bugging me too. 

And went into LD and lost by 2 without Harris and Nichols.

I think he mostly gives the team a similar opportunity to win as Nichols.  He needs to learn from his mistakes and and think he will.  He was playing against two of the top pass rushes in the league and I'm not convinced that our offensive line is good enough in a pass blocking capacity right now. We are awfully young at the two guard positions. He has shown in both starts that when the game is on the line he's capable of putting the team on his shoulders and willing a touchdown drive.  He put Edmonton away with one last week and he put the team up on the scoreboard on his last drive this week. I think that his accuracy is something that can be worked with and his ability to read defenses will improve with time. He's just really lacking experience.  I mean.. A guy like Cody Fajardo spent 4 years in the CFL/NFL learning before being thrust into action. Streveler is still just one year out of college. Some of the accuracy issues I think are more related to the lack of decisiveness on a certain read rather than a lack of accuracy. His biggest strength is his running ability which is beyond anything i've seen in this league. But that also holds him back a bit because he just doesn't get the passing reps that a guy like Dane Evans would get each game. Probably will take him twice as long to make all the mistakes and see all the things that they are going to throw at you and learn from them.   But we gotta keep in mind that Nichols was't passing for 300 yards a game in this offense either.  If Streveler passes for 175 and provides his running ability that's pretty much equaling what Nichols was providing IMO.  He's be more aware of when we get into field goal range we don't throw a pick and we don't take a huge intentional grounding call.  Those small details are where Nichols excels and wins games. 

Gotta give some props to Kenny Lawler, 4/4 for 67 yards, and our leading receiver in a losing effort.

Streveler's passing in the 2nd half was great.  I don't think Lapo knows what to do with him (or really any QB in this era).  Our protection scheme and quick game (screen's especially) need work.  Lapo can't do RPO with any consistency, and that's what's needed to really put the D off-balance.  We have the perfect QB to run an option passing scheme.  Finally adjusted to the pressure a bit at half.
Big game from Streveler.
Have a hard time celebrating anyone on D, they had a chance to win the game and blew it.  On the whole a great game from the D though, especially pass rush.

Ryan Smith is going to show up on the roster, much like his glitchy TD catch from Willy.
