Didn't that Strev guy play in the NFL for several years... I'm sure Ford being benched and at times dropped to 3rd string in the CFL is a much better QB.....

Even if it's a minor upgrade... it could help at least ease the transition until the NFL cuts where maybe we can sign a big upgrade late in the season.

Why does it feel like O'Shea will make the tough decisions (i.e. benching the vets who are playing like crap) late in the season and once they actually insert new players who are hungry the team will regain a pulse and come alive and win several games late in the year when it is already too late? I feel like we've seen smaller versions of this story several years ago where it was glaringly obvious that a few positions needed a new face and when they finally make the change the team sees an instant improvement. Why not give Strev 3 - 5 games to see how he can progress and play? It's not like it could be much worse then Zach and his non existent TD's? Why not sit Bighill for at least 2 games and see if his replacement can make the tackles that he can no longer make? The team can no longer use the excuse of "extended pre season" or needing to shake the cob webs... what we see is what we are getting at this point so why wait until its late in the year to make a change?

Once again...will O Shea have the balls to sit him?

Worldwide its definitely Ronaldo or Messi. Those guys are making crazy money on endorsements. I'd assume locally it's McDavid or LeBron. At the schools for where my children attend I do see lots of Jets jerseys but it's a mixture of the players. We don't have that one go to guy like back in the day where everyone had a Selanne or Hawerchuk jersey.

Kramdi should have a bit of a leash , but I'd hope the team would not settle with him and would be on the lookout for an upgrade.

Bede I always thought was the big leg guy who missed the important kicks. Never a guy who struggled and shaky. A guy who would nail 50 yarders with room to spare. He was a guy who wasn't known as being clutch.

I agree, the issue is that some players degrade from injuries and physically just cant come back. Bighill and BA indent believe can physically return to form. I wouldn't care if they brought in 30 year olds with experience if those guys had fresh legs and could give one or two good quality seasons. Thomas isn't as bad as people are making him out to be. I think his issue isn't health related and more so talent related... he's a depth guy and not a full time player.

Damn he would of done a bad trade to get rid of Ford Watch Jones take over Hamilton in a few weeks!

Jones likes making insane moves... can we dump some of our veteran crap for Ford?

If they won't outright cut him... could they at least 6 game - thorax him? I'd much rather they give those reps to a guy with upside and have those growing pains rather then watching someone rapidly decline week in and week out who is holding the team back big time with his play.

Full game , O'Shea is stubborn.

Jeeze I leave the room to get a drink and come back and they already are losing. It's getting more difficult to choose watching this team over watching the endless amounts of movies in my backlog....

FYI .... other clubs in the CFL lose veterans every season. Why is it so odd that we lose a few and it's looked upon as something bizarre and unheard of. If anything the Bombers have had the smallest amount of change over during the last 5 seasons and to a certain extent it's hurt the club.

24 / 37 for 277 yards and 5 TD - 1 int playing with the Jets against vastly superior talent that is in the CFL isn't enough proof? Me thinks people have tunnel vision and are focusing on when LaPo had him running the gadget plays. The only thing this season that Strev needs to work on is his touch and placement on his short dump off passes.

We ordered from Pancho & Lefty's which is mexican food and it was above average. The tacos and Mexican street corn were really tasty and the prices were reasonable. It's located on Watt street near Nairn Ave and I believe they only do take-out and delivery (we did delivery). The pic below from their site is accurate with what we received.

I keep going back to the first time I saw Strev play live in person in his first season. When Nichols was completely washed up and couldn't do anything outside of a 5 yard dunk pass. It was 100% clear Nichols was shot and the O was lethargic and was so easy to gameplan against. Strev comes in and plays as a QB who scrambled and occasionally ran for a first down. His weird throwing motion (almost like he was flicking a dart) was surprisingly effective since it released the ball quickly and what he did that Matt didn't was make quick decisions, tossed the ball to receivers who were 10+ yards down field and let them make a play. Guys like Darvin and Wolitarsky who were seeing nothing suddenly became part of the game which opened things up. The next season when LaPo was trying to me smart and would run ridiculous flea flicker qb cartwheel cannon ball end around dispy doo plays that would end up hurting Strev and completely neutered him as a QB. We need Strev to play as a QB, the battering ram QB shtick wont last. Last week when Strev rolled out and dumped it off to Brady it absolutely froze Ottawa and those plays are what I think we need to use Strevs legs for.

Strev was so bad and regressed so badly that he stayed in the NFL and several times made it on the news for his amazing play and how his team mates loved him. Sounds like a bum!

Apparently the Hawk Tuah girl might be getting a reality show... https://www.tmz.com/2024/07/06/hawk-tuah-girl-draw-interest-hollywood-reality-show-hailey-welch/

I didn't watch the game but Mitchell ended the game with 374 yards... wasn't he at only 120 yards in the 3rd quarter? Lots of garbage time stats?

A lotttttt of players have baggage that would make the league look bad if it went all public. I'm assuming if you believe Kelly should be banished that the Blue should of never brought back Lawler and he should also be blacklisted. Drunk drivers kill so many people every year and it's equally as bad as violence on women.

He wasn't running hard on every play into a pile of players.... Strev even when he was handing off was smashing himself into the D. It was very noticeable.

In the first half when Brown was still playing it felt like he had all the time in the world dropping back to find his deep receivers... with Strev it felt like he was getting one steamboat and instantly facing heat. The difference in our pass protection from last year compared to this year is night and day different. The line needs help big time.

I'm not a fan of the 2019 Strev stuff.... I'd like to see him throw the ball more and take far less contact in the game. I do enjoy watching him roll out and dumping it off to Brady.... reminded me old school Flutie who would be able to non stop shovel pass the ball for 5 - 10 yard gains.
