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

I'm not sure how anyone can blame richie for those plays. Db was there...the right call was made. Players need to make plays. Randle wants to be an all star....be one.

Rum hut is closed ?......wow am I glad I skipped this game

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

D not so good in 1st Q tho. 

I thought the defence was good aside from the one jump ball and Randall was right there. 

Awesome job by strev getting us that second td. That’s huge.

On CJOB they said it should quit within 30 minutes.

Streveler needs to pull one of the read options and take off wide. He has tons of space. 

CFL tweeted it’ll start at 11:40

Why close the rum hut ?

From @GerryModdejonge: “At this rate Matt Nichols will be available for the second half.” Ba-da-dum #Bombers

 

I’m loving it ... had to jet to work but I’m sure I’ll catch the end of the 4th quarter when I’m off at 7 this morning.

Not terrible so far. The delays and weather conditions actually help the Bombers.

Defense has some issues, not sure yet if they are that much better than last year. Concern that Bighill is already hurt. Why are Bomber players just not as tough and robust as the rest of the league? Training or prep not there? Or is it just too many players on the downside of their careers?

Streveler has been better than I expected and there is upside because he will get better. Bombers still in tough to win this one, but not embarrasing themselves...

Streveler definitely has shown more upside then so many of the guys they have had over the years.   

For comparison....  Goltz only tossed 3 td's in 4 seasons with us.....  

get your canoe's out for some canoe football, seriously that wind if it continue's will be a factor tonight this morning.

This favors Bombers on my opinion.

Does TSN bother to wake Rod Black up for the second half? 

Mass still a pissy *****

It’s bad when I’ve switched from beer to coffee!!

Randle has been terrible today.
