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

Fajardo has looked pedestrian against CGY.. wpg..and mtl..all good teams..and edm defense prob will smother him too much like they did Reilly But he's a world beater against to and Ott..and early season Bc..I bet next week BC lights them up..especially if they win today which i bet they do

Lol..win..and without much doubt too..

Streveler could and can stretch the field and also mix in very productive mid range stuff if we had game plans implemented for that..people say he cant because he misses on his rare opportunity more often then not...but when he gets no reps doing that..and receivers get no reps running it..and each other learning tendancies and chemistry is non existant due to lack of reps doing it..well that's what u get..more failure than success...and there in lies the problem...scheme

They need to use him with quick hitting slants and crosses and splitter routes when in zone and use motion to suck the safety away..why lapo doesnt do that is baffling

Same place the Riders got it...The U.... I think the Bombers did it mockingly as well...using an actual real chain as well and not some stupid prop

forced fumbles...knockdowns...impact in a game....pressures...even tho not an official stat all factor into things as well...Hughes is having a good year...but isn't as big an impact guy on a defense

hmm...Nichols has better numbers than those 3 at this juncture...guess he should be ahead of Fatardo?...plus he had a better winning percentage as well when he went out...your logic is flawed like your team

YEAH seems like it...reclls more of what i said than I do hahahahaha....my poor rep has taken a hit in his Rider mind...oh my oh my

son??..hahaha...okay pops...and what game did the riders out play Winnipeg?...last game...not really...banjo bowl?...nope..LDC?...nope...if anything it may have been even in 2 of the games but thats a stretch...

Riders have shown that against teams with a halfway decent offence...they cant score...and if they win is due to luck/other teams miscues/game shortened by weather/poor officiating...and they have CGY edm..edm..and BC remaining...other than BC they have tough defenses to deal with, and BC is on a roll a bit and I can see Reilly ripping through the Edem and Gainey led crappy back field...if they go .500 over those games I will be shocked and can see a 1 win scenario looming

I did say that...as did others...and they got more than lucky obviously...they are 10-4 I will give them that...but not a powerhouse 10-4 by any means...and will bow out quickly in play-offs...

yes..and no...in the losses to the Rider's we basically outplayed them in all 3 games...they never whooped..schooled...or controlled us in any way shape or form...and we shall see soon how we match with CGY but as it stands now are up a game on them too...so last 3 weeks should be interesting...other than the Hamilton beat down in the other 3 losses we should have really won them all...it's not like we are being pushed around and beaten up....solve a few brain farts....good things can happen...

it's not a streetch..we have played wretched ball the last month and a bit, and other than the hamilton game...should have won all the others...yeah we lost to the riders and excuses are for losers and mean diddly....but those Rider wins were lucky wins on their behalf and in all 3 games we outplayed and out classed them...they didn't take us out back and whoop us by any means...and who knows what goes on against CGY...as it sits we are one up on them...so time will tell

maybe u can eff off too....but we cant be so lucky...like your riders have been....flawed team as much as any other in league...and truth be told lucky to have beat us and any thought otherwise shows your intelligence

agree...real crap shoot this year...I actually kinda like we are taking a big greasy dump right now...gota few weeks to figure it out as opposed to taking one in week 18

Actually not sure how you determine that we won't see you again....playoff positions are hardly set and any of the top 3 could end up in first...or 3rd...getting pretty cocky there with how you percieve your team

totally agree

If Oshea is a good coach, and a guy who you want leading your team he will move on from Lapo and go a different direction....I think he knows this and will be doing so....but then again that is Walter's and Millers call....and if Osh isn't on board with it then we make Khari an offer he can't refuse...he has shown this year he is now a bonafide HC and I bet he could do wonders with Streveler...

this has nothing to due with lack of confidence in Streveler and McGuire...it's about depth and experience...if needed and if Streveler struggles continually..nothing more..nothing less What team would have confidence in their 3rd string guy leading them in the play-offs with next to no experience???..none...you all forget the 2007 Grey Cup with Dinwiddie?? That being said, nothing lost really in this move and Collaros if healthy (which apparently he is ..at moment) could do well in Lapo's conservative offence, and he would recognize and see the things that Streveler is still learning and getting used to, which could...well should benefit the offense....But Lapo needs to have his guys in the right spots and taught up properly as to what to do on certain looks...which to my eye seems like he hasn't done. Stop all the pointless crap over and over to the outside...the flats and the dumb short sideline crap...when the defence has cleared out and basically has taken away the edge our guys should be getting the quick hitter slats..crossers...splitter routes and with some of the guys we have on offence they would be having a field day....but nope...we stick to the script that all teams are sitting on now. As long as we don't expect and plan for Colaros to sit in the pocket and get gang rushed he may be productive for a few games to get us where we need to go....we are in the playoffs regardless...it's a matter of where we will be playing and as bizzare as it is to say this I feel a lot better moving forward for the rest of the year with Marshmellow head on our roster, than where we were up to yesterday

Streveler has tons of upside...and giving up on him his stupid at best...Have to remember that he basically is in only his 4th year as a true starter...he's learning on the fly, good and bad results and is doing so while in a god awful offensive scheme with an OC who doesn't know how to utilize his players properly, and gets tunnel vision generally before going into a passive play calling mode as he has no onions...So he is a little further behind the curve than most 1st and 2nd yr guys due to that, and all things considered has done pretty well in this working environment he's in. Can't place that all on Streveler and the first step to make this a major turn around is not bringing back Lapo...plain and simple. I can see it in a lot of the offensive players attitude and body language that they are not happy in this either..Lapo's time is done Oshea I have no issue with coming back...yeah the record isn't overwhelming and play-off success has been sparse, but tossing him out really doesn't solve anything...his stubborn attitude to blind loyalty has been his major fault, and you can see on his face this last month or so he is fed up with it...hands are tied this year with the coaches cap thing, so we gotta go to dance with who brought us...but I bet next year if he gets extended...or he accepts the extension he moves on with new OC and DC Sure things have blown lately...but I am not in the camp of all the doomsayers...complainers...whatever you wanna call the people jumping off with support...play=offs are a new season and anything can happen...and if we gotta get there on the road with a couple wins...so be it....just makes it that much more satisfying.

We will win..sask doesnt match up well against us..and I still think media are over rating them..why I dont know Fajardos floaters will be ripe for picking with a real DB at safety..Alexander's presence back in the lineup is huge regardless of where he lines up Also..our lines will dominate theirs again for 3rd straight game and that's where we will win it..plus we havnt played them with Harris yet..and they were lucky to get 1 win..and got blown away in their loss..I'm not concerned one bit truth be told

but 6 of the run I think leads to more success than 6 of the pass....just get to the dance...and well..dance...if we gotta do it in 1 game at home..or 1 at home 1 on road..or both on road...you still gotta just do it

Dline tho is at a severe disadvantage tho in frozen run game...as the oline fires first and has the edge..kind of a pick your poison scenario. Cold weather throwing and catching is more difficult then a straight hand off..and as well the rb and blockers know where they are headed...but I get and agree on your point on the route running for a receiver...but you still gotta get it there...and make catch with frozen ball...and cold paws Our reliance on the short game, and run game both tend to be effective in cold weather so either way...I like our odds

but moreso the pass game too..
