I'm gonna eat this one. I can't believe we won this. The D looked like **** at times but at other times they looked all world. But they won this game, no question. Unreal team win, but I'm still very concerned about Strev as a starter... 

Why? He had 4 2 and outs all game. He moved the ball.. Put up Nichols like combined numbers. It wasn't pretty passing but Woli Demski Matthews with drops for sure. 

He looked fine. Esks D is a good D. 

The O averages 300 yards roughly a game.

 They aren't marching.. They are close to dead last in 2 and outs.. Def last in passing yards.. No reveiver on pass for 1000 yards. 

Might have been unorthodox but the O put up about as many total yards as normal this year.

Strev looked like **** in the passing game. Thats the only way to view it...

any Bombers injuries on this game?

D was really good, the DL was giving Harris fits all night. They gave up some big plays but otherwise solid solid game. 

As for Streveler, I don't think it's an indictment of him. Edmonton has a good D and he dealt with a lot of drops and a horrible 2nd half game plan (as per usual with lapo) Guy brings the threat with his legs that makes Harris better so it's really a big part of his game that the run game was as effective as it was.

Why? Add 70 yards on the 4 or 5 drops and his numbers are more than what Nichols does. The O with Nichols = 300 yards maybe a game.. With Strev.. 300 ish again. 

We aren't and havent won a game this year because our o put up a ton of points. Esks havent allowed 30 prior to this game. He moved the ball.

Tracy Ham, Damon Allen even Doug Flutie started out as running QBs before they rounded out their game and became more complete...i am not saying Strevler will become as good, just that it takes time for the game to slow down for young QBs. Got to give Strev at least 4 games in row before we see if he can be our next starting QB.

Good team win. Pretty much the same formula as the past few wins. Good defense and/or special teams, with just enough offense.

Streveler was a roller coaster. Effective runner with limited passing tonight, but most of that was by design - particularly with the weather. LaPo called a ton of designed runs (too many in my opinion). Hopefully we can get the pass game on track next week. Can certainly build your run and pass game off all the play action and zone reads. Hoping to see that develop further.

Jefferson was amazing.

I’m still trying to figure out that ruling in the end zone where we get 1 point after their player knocked it out of bounds.

when you figure it out. Please let me know as well.

It was because Willie kicked it forward, so akin to a punt I guess.

Regard it as a punt.

We won like we usually did. Specials & defense. Jefferson stepped up big time today. Rios with the athletic pick 6 & the goat on that late 4th quarter 75 yard bomb. Streveler can run but every pass he throws is an adventure. At some point the defenses in this league will take away or reduce his effectiveness running so he has to show improvement in the passing game. Desjarlais was brutal tonight. A power puff blocker. Where the **** is Neufeld?

13 of 21 200 yards. Nichols vs Edmonton last game he played. 

Strev had roughly combined that. 

The O isnt winning games for us. The D and Teams are. 

Im gonna go out on a limb and say.. If our O EVER gets it together..we will never lose again. 

The O was a concern with Nichols.. It still is with Strevs but pretty heavy rain to start the game there so conditions were a factor.

Oh im aware of lapos history. Big IF for sure. 

We have a championship winning  level defense. 

If we had just an average CFL passing offense with our D & Specials we would probably go 16-2 or 17-1 & be multiple Grey Cup winners.

Streveler reminds me of Tebow. Monster qb who's a great runner, but a work in progress as a passer.

"Work in progress" is cute... 

 

Its brutal, so far we can work around it...

Let's face it, this is all of us right now.

I think that's unfair. He hit Matthews and Matthews let the db interupt the pass, he hit Demski in traffic and Demski put it on the ground, he hit wolitarsky and again it hit the ground. I think his passing numbers look worse than they should to be honest. There was even the swing pass to Harris on 2nd and 20 that I put the blame on Harris. He had to get that ball out quick and Harris wasn't ready for it. 

Streveler is not a bad passer, our team just has a bad passing game plan a lot of nights. He also had to deal with pressure a lot of the night. Yes the numbers look ugly, but I don't think he was really reckless with the ball. Sure there were a couple ugly throws, but there was more good than bad, he just didn't get a lot of help in the passing game.
