Game Day Thread - League Opener: Eskies

I expect the green machine will be sending a variety of blitzes early and often, say 5 of the first 8  defensive  plays to test Streveler's metal ... we will see how Lapo has him prepped for that... Spy vs Spy scheming if you will

The real game I suspect (if Streveler is still standing) will be revealed in the second quarter when the two teams get down to business...

I  am anticipating Streveler will turn the ball over twice, costing us two scores. But I believe he is determined enough to get those two back with his own athleticism, by arm, by foot,  by eye, or by brain.

I am hoping by the third quarter the rookie comes into his own and the Bombers get the lead

Optimist that I am, I sadly expect the Mike Reilly show to take over in the 4th Q to grab the W

I think we have a chance because we will win the war of the trenches ....  the O-Line  is what makes a quarterback look good or bad ... gives them a chance to execute

Based on my observation of MOS, he will stick with his starting QB unless he goes into shell shock

The difference in the game will be between Reilly's long passes and Streveler's  bombs ... Edmonton's receivers may win that battle but we will see

Our short game to Harris and Bowman may not be enough to defeat the gunslingers

he's no Johnny Football tho.

Listening to randy ambrosie on the ob pre game, I havent had this good a feeling and impression of a cfl leader out side of cohon. 

Streveler will do well and Rod Black will turn it into johnny football talk lol.

Bryant and foketi are scratches. 

Prediction for tnite, bowman has a big game. 

Big storm is coming...I'm just west of the city and it's pretty intense.  If this comes close to the stadium I can't see them avoiding a delay.
