Nice call LaPolice!!!

I hope Streveler breaks the rushing record. (Having said that, as with all recent records, it is over an 18 game schedule). Anyways, This game will be a very good test for our offense and Strevelers ability to read a defense.

I heard him on the radio saying in practice he once threw a wind-aided ball 100 yards.

Yes, I'll say this as decently as I can...BLM is THE BIGGEST Douchebag this league has EVER seen. I've starting to think it's not his talent that kept him out of the NFL, it's his attitude. Arrogant doesn't begin to describe him.

Yes. The most likely senario has us finishing 3rd and having to beat both Calgary and SK in their barns. A very tall task. ( But possible).

One could also argue that every team should have every other team "figured out"...there are a number of options with every formation, but every team studies those and often plays the percentages. Like one coach said "I don't care if they know what we are doing. If we do it right, they won't stop us."

LaPo started here as OC the year Milt won MVP honors...

Less Browne was a tremendous talent. I couldn't believe it when we signed him as a free agent. There never was ( and probably never will be) a CB duo as good as Rod Hill & Less Browne!!

Yup. Defenses have figured him out. Hopefully he responds in kind.

According to reports OShea has turned down a couple of contract extension offers already...so many on this board will get their wish (I'm kind of indifferent on the matter - just hope we don't make a bad hire.)

I always bet on the Bombers. However, my hunch is Calgary by a fair bit...followed by this board being lit up by criticism of our OC & DC's "calling a terrible game"!

I am asking an honest question here...but what "far, far worse QB's than Streveler have won Grey Cups"? Can you name 3 please? ( And don't include Kerry Joseph as he won the cup in 2007 and was the league MVP that year). Generally you need a decent QB to win the cup. Our last 2 Grey Cup QB's were Sean Salisbury and Tom Burgess, but they certainly weren't "far, far worse".

They probably realize there is no point in asking O Shea anyways.

As far as the game goes, I don't like our chances in Calgary. It would be nice to at least split the back to back though so at least we'd have a chance at 2nd in West.

Interesting that Collaros is practising. As a "3rd string", will he get any reps?

Uh. Streveler is not the only QB in history whose receivers have dropped the ball...

This. Most reasonable Bomber fans understand that Streveler needs to improve a lot. Will he? I hope so. He's still pretty inexperienced. I'm not convinced that Streveler is our best option to win in the playoffs (i.e. Collaros)....but knowing O Shea it's do or die with Big Chris. It will be an interesting off-season for the Bombers. Will they re-sign Streveler? Nichols? Or go after Masoli?

Joe...a little advice...don't go on a Rider fan site...

Well, they need someone to play out the season there so...

He likely won't be playing till he's 39...,but another 10 years, sure.

Yeah, after posting I realized I sounded kind of negative on a thread that is supposed to be positive...so after saying that, my 3 Stars would be: - Harris - Jefferson - Sayles Go Bombers!!

I counted 6 guys on here who picked Streveler as a star of the game. Sorry. I just don't see it. He is a second year player, one of the most exciting players I have seen for a while, but this game was not star territory for me. I hope he develops into a star in this league, though, and the Bombers should be patient with him. But he had 2 picks. If Nichols had 2 picks, he doesn't get my vote either!! Streveler 15 out of 25 for 174 yards passing. 64 yards running. 1TD throw, 2 picks.

Agreed. If Streveler wants to stay in the CFL I'm not sure a team will gamble on giving him starters $. Calgary -BLM, B.C.- Reilly, Edmonton- Harris, SK- Fajardo, Hamilton - Evans, Montreal- Adams. So Toronto and Ottawa and Winnipeg will vie for Masoli, Arbuckle, Nichols & Streveler (and the leftovers in Toronto that I wouldn't touch).

No truer words have ever been spoken!

Yes he was. The CFL command center is an absolute joke!!
