"Cautious optimism" is the word of the day here. It may be my imagination, but the offensive players look like they wake up when Streveler comes in. With Nichols, unless it it is a Harris running play, the attitude seems to be, "ho hum-here's another six yard pass".

With our O-line bulldozing the opposing D-line and linebackers pretty much every game and with Eli as a TE, there should be no stopping them and that opens up the defensive secondary.

There is absolutely no reason why this team with Streveler cannot compete with, even beat the Riders. We have injuries but we still ought to be able to out-talent and out-work them.We shouldn't be out-coached, either.

You have an awful short memory.

Tis but a scratch.

Vernon Adams gave us a demonstration yesterday of what Streveler will probably look like in the next few games- high risk but high excitement and high possible reward. If our current coaches cannot bring out in Big Chris what Kingly did for Adams, there is something wrong.

Yup. His body and his Rice Krispies will make the same sounds in the morning.

The Bombers may face an interesting dilemma in time. If the offence takes off under Streveler, what will they do with Nichols? There is an understanding that a starter does not lose his job due to injury, but this is not iron-clad (Hello Zach Collaros). Hmmmmm...

That can be coached out if Streveler is open to that sort of thing.

Lulay would be the best option, IMO, but only if he passes a physical. God knows, he would have the protection of the best O-line in the CFL and the best he has had since he came into the league.

Reilly must go into each game with about 20 pounds of duct tape holding him together.

Can we sue them for plagiarism?

I can understand why the Bombers reached out to Glenn- his M.O. would suit LaPolice's game plans perfectly.

There were a lot of guffaws at Fajardo, Adams, Bethel-Thompson and Davis.

How about: "the Lions are pu$$ies"?

Irony is also the opposite of wrinkly, just as firefly is the opposite of waterfall.

And we were so smug about our QB situation and so mocking about other teams' QB situations. Is this karma?

If, in fact, Nichols is unable to answer the bell or is held out as a precaution, and the offence looks the same and as bad under Streveler as it did before, that would be proof that whatever is wrong with the offence lies at the feet of LaPolice. The strange thing is that LaPolice is praised by all and sundry in the CFL. If the offence blossoms under Streveler, that would indicate that the limiting factor has been Nichols.

The silence from the Bomber offices is deafening and very worrisome.

"Not dead yet!"

Take two tablets and call in the morning.

He could be Exume'd.

Ooops..wrong thread. Sorry.

We can all pray ernestly that it does not come to that.
