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.

Edmonton was so afraid of Streveler running it gave more room to Harris. Really puts a D in a pick your poison position. Now get the passing game figured out and we got something special here.

so can we all agree that the biggest problems with the offense are Lapolice now?

awwwwwww crap.......

new band name?

dude is in ok shape, so yeah he ain't the tallest guy on the field, but he's a big strong guy. That's why the ladies and Northern Skunk are so in love with him

god she has to last until there is a dem president

No, if he sucks he sucks. But that is why we have to watch the games. Big picture here fellas.

If he was 6'3 do you think he would have ever made it to the CFL?

I read a quote a couple days ago where the promoter was saying it was an event like seeing the Rolling Stones or some such thing. Well there's your problem. It's an NFL preseason game, it's not a can't miss event. Sloppy football with a bunch of guys who will get cut and maybe never play football again isn't something fans will fork out any amount of money to see. They got greedy and the thing was a gong show as a result.

Yes, but lots.of people here discard the obvious in favour of blind hatreds and ignorance so I am left to try and hammer the obvious into their heads.

Well I don't think you're getting at the logic I use. I'm not some big Nichols fanboi here, I have actually long felt that Streveler has higher potential in the long term, however I'm also not going to throw Nichols under the bus when Lapo very clearly is doing the same **** he always does. So if Streveler succeeds it will be dependent on 2 things happening, 1: Him playing well and 2: Lapo giving him the playbook to have success. I will judge for myself what happens when he gets out there and make my judgements based on knowing the 2 variables.

yes, but also consider injuries to matthews and adams, two guys who were likely thought of as main targets.

turned this on just to see how the stadium looks... lots of empty seats. guess they should have priced things smarter.

Will depend on how things unfold, but likewise if streveler struggles you gonna admit that Lapo can be his own worst enemy? Or will you just turn on Streveler too?

I will take that. I don't think the Edmonton lbs are all that great so if they aren't bringing a lot of pressure as they usually do I will call it a win for the bombers.

That would make a lot of sense, but I really don't trust Lapolice anymore. Guy gets in his own way so so many times. I really hope they let Streveler be a QB, the guy can pass, don't shoe horn him into being a glorified running back, that's all I ask.

As someone with a geography minor mistake like that offend me on a personal level.

and also venom wasn't a huge flop so they figure they got this. The egos amongst studio executives is really quite astounding.

he doesn't play for the bombers.

We got em right where we want em

Sony had all the production costs under the old deal I believe, new deal is supposed to split those up, but who knows.

well 3 boys standing on top of each others shoulders can pass for a man.

If Harris is out the beauty of it is that it forces other guys to have to step up and it takes away the crutch that he is. The team would have no choice but to let other people be the man.

alternate dimensions don't count!
