TBURGESS

C train is good North/South. East/West by transit sucks.

I agree that Fajardo was across the LOS and that the goalpost didn't take a TD away this time.

C Train goes right by the stadium. Best way in and out if you ask me. See if you can get a cheaper hotel near a C train station.

Put me in the 'I didn't want him here, but am glad he is' group. He's been our best QB this year by far.

We should win the trench war and the running game. Assuming that Fajardo starts and can play at 80%, QB should be a wash. I think this one, like most games, comes down to turnovers. If the Riders can catch the couple of picks that Collaros has thrown and Calgary has dropped each game, we could be in trouble. If not, we should win this one.

I liked this place better when it was a PJ/bluebeliever free zone.

According to someone on that other (dead) site... MOS said something on his show about once a player has been declared a QB, you can't change it. That could mean during the year or it could mean ever, but Sinopoli makes me think it's during the year only.

That could be true.

Possible I suppose, but I've never heard of anyone changing from a QB to another position in the CFL.

Streveler has already been designated as a QB. I don't think you're allowed to change a players designation from QB to anything else.

Re Security: They put in an invalid SSL certificate sometime after September 28. I'm not saying that's the only problem, but it shows that they were making changes around the time the site died.

Dumb change indeed, but all they'll do is change the three to a two. Still won't be able to use Streveler as a HB.

You can't line Streveler up in the HB spot unless you remove the other QB. It's a penalty. Article 4 — Designated Quarterback Prior to the game, a team is required to designate three players who shall be permitted to alternate for each other during the game at the Quarterback position exclusively. Not more than one such player may be in the game at any time and none of the three can enter the game as a member of Team B. PENALTY: L25 PLS DR or L25 PBD or option. NOTE: For the purposes of this Article 4, the duties of the Quarterback position may include punting, place kicking and kicking off. If a team designates three Quarterbacks for a game, the player designated as the third Quarterback shall not be eligible for kicking duties. NOTE: A team is required to have one designated quarterback or kicker on the field for each of its offensive plays.

Of course I get it. You're making something up and calling it a fact. Simply believing something is true doesn't make it a fact. Expecting that I'll react in a certain way is just a theory and a bad one at that.

Another guy who doesn't understand what a theory and a fact are. 😂

This post proves you actually don't know he difference between fact and a theory. 🤣

The old 1 team he beat was good theory. 😂

Folks are pretending that we destroyed the Stamps for the whole game. Truth of the matter is that they won the first half and we owned them in the 2nd half. The 70 yard TD in the 4th destroyed their confidence. After that BLM threw 2 picks and they turned the ball over on downs. We needed the combo of Collaros/Streveler to beat them. Either one alone or Nichols/Streveler wouldn't have done the job. We needed the big throws and the big runs. Neither QB by themselves could provide both. I'm not suggesting we sign Collaros next year. In fact, I didn't want us to trade for him in the first place because of his health. It's turned out great so far, but I'm still worried about a big hit taking him out yet again. Collaros has been both good and lucky in Bomber Blue. Great TD throws and 4 balls that should have been picked, but weren't. He's moved the pocket well, something that Nichols can't do, and that's been the reason for some of his biggest plays. He's only played 1 and 3/4 games so far. Breaks will even out over the long run, but we're in the playoffs so the long run doesn't exist.

Collaros throws have more zip on them. He throws a better medium and a better deep ball. He's way more mobile than Nichols. There's no way Nichols even throws the ball to Adams in the last season game, let alone gets it there accurately. Collaros doesn't rely on the Harris dump pass anywhere near as often as Nichols does which makes defences have to cover everyone. Collaros did it against Calgary twice, one of which was a playoff game. Nichols mostly played against the bottom 3 teams in the league. Stats aren't going to tell the story because both QB's played in the PLAP offence.

Better question is are the Bombers still pretending that Nichols is a bonafide QB? Collaros has outplayed him in both games so far.

What a fine w(h)ine. 3 completely positive points and 1 remark about the weather being on our side (It was and everyone knows it), and I get 2 pages of folks arguing with me for arguments sake. No, we didn't win only cuz the other team played badly and I never said we did, but If you think BLM played well this week or last week against the Lions then I can't help you. FTR: I was in the crowd and on the field after the last Bomber Grey Cup win. I was very happy indeed. I expect I'll be just as happy when we finally do it again.

Almost as annoying as not knowing how to do multiple quotes in a single post. 😉 (Hint: It's the + sign)

If you like that, wait until you see a GC win live.

His pocket broke down so he had 2 choices. Eat the ball and give up 2 points or throw the ball. He made the right choice, but didn't get the ball past the LOS. Pissed him off? Sure. Broke his spirit? LOL

That intentional grounding didn't break BLM's spirit. It was just 1 play where he tried to throw the ball away and didn't get it past the LOS.
