Dodge and Burn Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Seems like many variables are going against us this game. Almost feels like a tipping point type game. Our D and ST need to win this game for us. If Strev continues to turn the ball over we are sunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This absolutely looks to be a pivotal game for both teams, but Streveler turning the ball over is the least of the Bomber problems. J5V 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is built for the O to not makes mistakes, (like turnovers) control the clock with the run and complete shorts passes. Our D is really struggling right now, same as our specials. To say Strev throwing picks is the last of the worries.... Id say it makes or breaks us. Edited October 5, 2019 by Dodge and Burn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why you're so negative about Streveler. Obviously if he is turning the ball over it's not good but a lot can go into a turnover such as poor route running by the receiver, bad hands on the receiver, poor Oline play, poor play calling, and plain old bad luck. He'll never be Matt Nichols, they're very different types of players. Nichols is a pocket passer, very slow of foot, and somewhat fragile, very cautious with the ball and risk averse. He is somewhat reluctant to fire the ball into tight windows or to stretch the field vertically but he's very good at making the safe play. Streveler is a much more mobile QB and is very intelligent, a stud of an athlete with a strong arm, good speed, and tremendous heart. He's not afraid to take chances and will challenge a D by firing the ball into tight windows. He is not a seasoned vet like Nichols and is somewhat more prone to making mistakes but he's learning. We're damned lucky to have him. The last time he played the Riders he pummeled them and had them off balance all game. Give the guy a break. https://www.cfl.ca/2019/09/07/streveler-is-a-man-on-a-mission/ Tracker and Deiter Fan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say it makes or breaks us. his picks against Hamilton were after the team was already in a hole and it was desperation time. I am not overly concerned with his turnovers lately to be honest. He's grown as is much safer with the ball when the game is in the balance. It's when he takes risks it gets a bit dicey, but generally that's when they NEED something to happen. He is growing so much in these starts, it is a shame that the rest of the team isn't keeping pace with him. NorthernSkunk and Bigblue204 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That second pick was after Bighill's interception put the O close to the red zone. They would were only trailing by two TDs. Cash that in and they would have been within 6 or 7 points - don't remember if the deficit was 13 or 14 points. Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Jordan Younger.....your time to shine...If the green guys think he's green...they're in for a surprise...He's been around our D for quite awhile and I suspect he'll fill in quite admirably....

Yeah but he had a huge rush up the middle in his face and was trying to avoid taking a sack and having to maybe settle for a field goal. It was pressing given the context of the game.

Jim McD Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Need a good effort tonight for the Blue & Gold after watching my Islanders lose to Washington in the opener. Scored one freaking goal and the PP was its usual joke. How I miss the old days when an Islander PP was the kiss of death for the opposition. We cannot afford another stink-a-rooni like whatever they threw on the field vs Hamilton. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Gonna be a riveting game with a year's worth of bragging rights and a playoff position on the line. All the changes in the Bombers will either spur them to a heckuva game or self-destruct if they have some game setbacks and get behind. Despite whatever the Bomber players and coaches say, their confidence has to be shaky. They need to get out front and stay there. LaPolice needs to compensate for the Riders using the tactic of stacking the box and hardening the edge of the line of scrimmage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 3 hours ago, 17to85 said: they were already in the hole, weren't going to win kicking field goals. You are incorrect. Even a field goal makes it 27-16 with almost a quarter to play 27-13 at that time... we were at Hamilton 20 and if we score its 27-20, instead Tuggle returned that pass basically to our goal line I'm not blaming that loss on Streveler but that interception was the final kick in the face - he needed to score on that drive Bigblue204 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
