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

How can we get a extra DE, lb, wr and kicker on the roster??

There's 4 DI's for a few years now.

Why did the crowd yell " true north" during the anthem ?......does true north financially support the Bombers somehow ?

Seems kinda silly to me.......but on with the game !......

Looks like this years d is going to be more aggressive.

Streveler has happy feet on that first series...

well that went side ways quickly and against Randle 

Bighill not in for that TD... JSK at MLB...

Terrible decision by Loffler too

Easy on Colin, he was all alone on the internet for the past few years....he's just getting caught up.

Even when Lankford makes a rare good play, he can’t help himself from screwing it up. 

Lankford accumulates a few more MBB likes...

Anything good that Lankford did disappears with the fumble

JSK having a nice day. 

Well ... Not great but it's hard to complain about Streveler when he's a pure rookie starting on opening day and the first ever to do it in the CFL since Calvillo.  And his TD pass was a beautiful dart.

 

I will say though that Ryan Lankford has got my ire up again and I really hope he gets shipped out before long.  And Bighill does make Hall's defense marginally better, but I still say if we're going to stop the CFL's elite offenses at some point, we're going to need a new DC.

Well ,listening to Knuckles man loving on Reilly here ,you could have the 85 Bears D and you cant stop him...

 

#FireHall ?

Or too soon?

Bombers basically did everything wrong early in an attempt to get blown out. Randle falls down, Streveler throws a pick, Lankford coughs it up. The fact that we are only down 10 right now with this long delay is a miracle.

Offensive gameplan needs to be fixed ASAP. Getting Streveler in some really bad spots. Needs more read option.

They have had time to go over the film .....it can only get better from here on out.  

Pretty much what I expected from Streveler so far, aside from the incredible pick by sherrit hes looked pretty good imo.

I would tend to agree. Potential. Lapo needs to simplify things tho and run more. 

D not so good in 1st Q tho. 

D gave up one big play....don’t blame the D for turnovers....let’s not start the fire Ritchie Hall sing song already.

If the lightening threat is so scarey then how come nobody is running off the field ? Lol.......
