Long off season is over and we finally get to see some Blue Bomber football tonight.

Game time is 7:30PM and the weather looks to be clearing up by then, partly cloudy and 18 C.

Chat room is open for those who want to enjoy the game with a group of virtual friends.

Here are the depth charts:

 

Streveler certainly sounds like he is having a hell of a game.

Apparently I have also pronounced his name wrong.

7 for 7. 129 yards. More like Chris Football. 

Why did Ross get such a short look?

Streveler is on 🔥 🔥

There's my boy White...nice

Sounds like Streveler has some skills, good to see even if it is against the Esks scrubs. 

The other thing I am gathering from the radio is that the Bombers defensive line is having a hell of a game.

Actually, Bauming has speculated that its because this is Strevelers first pro action. Ross has had pro reps. Streveler has not. 

For so many years, we’ve seen young QBs put up big numbers in the preseason. Collaros, Harris, Mitchell even Reilly but I can’t remember the last time a Bomber backup QB actually excelled in any preseason game other than one fluky Marve game. Streveler is legit and probably the first real QB prospect this team has seen in over 10 years. 

I don’t know what I was thinking. It’s way more than 10 years.

He's good.

And that fumble aside, this is a QB made for the CFL with the ability to both run and pass accurately

Hope he gets more playing time this year.

Never had a game like this. Or any of those other QBs mentioned.

If Nichols stays healthy then the backup qb will see less than 20% playing time. That's how it's always been with MOS. His philosophy is to play the starter a lot.

His and the coaches from every other team in the league unless a huge like impossible to come back from blowout. NFL dont put the backups in much either. Starters get paid. 

Better game Augustine or Streveler: discuss.

Streveler because it is harder to dominate at the QB skill position

 

Sounds like Ross is Brinking it all over the place. Bit disappointing.

Radio only makes opinions on how a lot of the Bombers did tonight tough but against what the Esks brought here it seems like we might have some battles at some positions, sounds like some guys had great games.

Head Coaches don't worry about possibilities. They live in the here & now. If they have a competent starting qb then he will play. They'll worry about injuries when they happen.

Disappointed with Ross’s performance but man Streveler stepped up in a big way.  We’ve all seen some lack lustre performances from our “prospect” qbs and I refused to get my hopes up for Streveler.

Was never a big fan of Augustine but he was terrific. Great burst and ran extremely hard.

Comparing this to the last year, the Esk rookies looked about twice as good as the Bombers, but not this year.

Bombers look to have brought in some very competitive young talent this year when rookies are playing rookies

Looks like Augustine done well enough to stay on the roster.

Streveler bumped Ross out of the #2 position.

33-13 Close enough to call it a blow-out pounding .... Edmonton showed next to nothing ... a play here and a play there but nothing consistent ... in the second half our rookies beat up their rookies ... can't wait for the home opener when our starters will beat up their starters
