With healthy QBs yeah. But without. I’m not sure they are. Montreal sucks without Alexander. 

As would every other team. In fact, we might have the best siruation when it comes to that. The Strevy/BO combo can grind out some wins.

[Goalie]

Streveler hasn’t done anything in the cfl in 5 years. He can’t even convert 1 yard plunges anymore.

Beat Montreal. Beat Sask b2b. 
 

8 and 4. Likely tied for 1st. 
 

they aren’t elite. Nobody is. Sask isn’t even. They have had the healthy QB tho. Bombers need some upgrades also. They aren’t elite but they appear to be better than some of you think. 

this is an optimistic outlook... maybe we can go in a beat Mtl's second team... winning LD is going to be nearly impossible... just hope we can get the split in the BB.... coming out of this next 3 game stretch at 7-5 is probably the best case scenario

I'm hoping they can keep labour day close. That would be ok. It's hard to win that game when you're an elite team, nevermind one that struggles to find it's identity.

Labour Day is always a **** show. Expect a loss every year and anything else is a bonus.

Fire Lapo. Get rid of Buck! Hogan needs to go. I see a trend on this forum.

Lost in this, this was a huge win, lose and we are tied with bc, also Ottawa pulls to within 1 game Putting the crossover in jeopardy (the forest for the trees)

Also some correctable mistakes which would have had us winning  by double digits,

The interception end of 1st half 3-7 points, the stuff on Streveler, the much discussed  2 and three sneak, the Randolph object Conduct.The two phantom pi calls The 57 yd fg attempt cost us 7 points as well

He is however 2-0 on the season

At this point I think Wilson is the better option on short yardage.

yeah....I agree on that...takes away risk of injury to Strev....They still havnt learned how to properly use him....Even at not 100 percent yet there is so much more they could be doing with/for him

True and he was good in the BC game and bad in the Toronto game.

I may be in the minority here, but from what I see...once Schmekle and Person were added for rotation on teh D-line, the overall play of the unit improved...optimistic Woods can add even another notch up.

Since we re-jigged our LB's I feel that they have been playing well, T Johns has surprised the heck outta me

Benching bridges and moving Parker away from safety also seemed to improve the secondary, Parker is hurt, Bonds is done, but I will say although a small sample size Allen and Vaval show great promise, and Lawson jr, from my eye test has been an improvement from Bridges.

In saying this, yes we still gave up an explosion play, and had a few slopy tackles, but.....I just have a feeling that this defence once a few guys settle in could become a really good unit

 

Or specials are great...finally

 

On offence though, I am not optimistic about, is it Hogan, is it the O-line, lack of receiver talent...is Brady more hurt then we know.....maybe, but many "questionable" calls...Some real work needs to be done with this unit

Schmekel > Thomas... having them both out there is the biggest problem...
