Streveler leads the league in passing TDs

I can’t answer for D or D, but my feature, In Case You Missed It will be on hiatus for a bit while I go on the 6 game IR. It’s a bit of a process to put together that bit and I’m fighting some health issues at this time. I’ll be checking in daily with some minor stuff..and I hope that works out.

Where is the odds and sods !! Where is the in case you missed it. The lurkers are waiting ..,:)

I’m so bloody happy they went with Streveller. Same thing I said in the chat last week: I’d rather see an exciting offence that takes chances and makes some mistakes than a 2-and-out machine, which is what we would’ve seen under Ross. Streveller has a similar at style to Collaros pre-injury, or even Reilly, whereas Ross is similar to Brohm, post-injury Willy, etc. 

The difference in the D from last year to this year was easy to see.I feel there is a lot of improvement. Not one time was there a wide open Edm receiver that caught a ball for an easy TD. Yes they gave up 400yrds passing but one was a 100yrd strike where Randle missed the knock down, another was a PI call on Gaitor and another was a pass to Stafford (I believe) who had a step on our DB (one of Fogg or Alexander) and beat the DB with a jumping catch. That was probably 200 of the 400 yrds right there. All were situations where the DB and receiver were in a 1 on 1 battle and lost. I'm not saying they played bad, I am saying there were in the right place but simply missed knocking the ball down or lightly touched the receiver and took the PI.  Yes it was a loss but there is a lot of good to build from in that game. Confidence will grow, and everyone will tighten up their game a bit and one of any of those plays mentioned could have got the Blue the W. My 2 cents.

I very much miss the days that there were smaller more concentrated threads. I know I don’t post much and lurk far more, but I absolutely hate digging through big long threads and going back multiple pages trying to figure out where I left off.
Leading into today, I feel like a stand-alone thread discussing who we thought would/should be the starting QB would’ve been good to have separate. I actually think most major news deserves its own thread and have found it much more frustrating navigating the site since the change to big, multi-page, catch-all threads. It’s just weird to jump into a thread and see a dozen different conversations happening, and have to read every quoted message to understand what someone is replying to.
The software naturally prioritized new posts, so threads that aren’t popular will naturally die off anyway. What’s the problem with many threads? If a topic doesn’t interest you, just ignore it. Still easier and quicker to sift through 20 thread titles than 20 pages on a post to determine if you’re interested or not. 

Lapo today implied that was on a receiver not running the right route. He said that a receiver was supposed to run the safety off but it didn’t happen, so the safety only had one look and went with it. I feel like everyone underestimates the difference our starting receivers and o-line will make. The throws Ross nade are the same regardless of if you have a third stringer or  Bowman in there: check down check down check down. Somehow Streveller comes in with the same crew and makes Thompkins and White look like all stars because he’s actually willing to put the ball up in one on one coverage.

I feel like ross would be a move not to lose, and streveler is a move to win. 
Reilly I think nails it. better foot speed and a quicker release.

We don’t play Hamilton twice, we play them once and Toronto once in the first six weeks (and then TO again in week seven).

Really wish we had a bye in there. As it stand now, if he misses six weeks from today, that’s a full six games including two against the lions which could give them a tiebreaker. Luckily, three of the other games are eastern opponents, and no other doubles. If we’re going with who we have in-house, I say let the young kid with the upside run with it and don’t yank him. Give him immense game reps and regardless of our record when Nichols returns, Streveler will be in a good position to back him up down the line. 

What was wrong with the existing free agency thread? Or the around the league thread? Seems like this is just making a post for the sake of making a post.

I for one like more specific threads as I don’t check in every day or week over the winter months as I’m reading the snowmobile and hockey forums.   It takes forever to catch up when a cheat sheet for the lastest would be ideal and I find myself heading several pages and then giving up  

And our typically clutch kicker missed a game-winning field goal in Toronto. We were every bit as good as our record suggests. We beat every team in the league, and tonight, that included ourselves.
