Vaval came to play. He'll be in the running for ST player of the week. Maybe he can return another K/O and win some one that $1M.

On the negative side:

1. Fumbled opening K/O
2. Missed FG
3. K/O out of bounds
4. Pick 6
5. Bonds bit on the pass to Coxie and cost us 3 points. Lucky that's all it cost us.

On the " I'm not sure what's going on " aspect.

1. On TV they mentioned Cooley was on the field for a play at LB in the 1st or 2nd series?
2. I noticed Ball working on ST's which is a good sign. I think they think that's an initial role for him
3. Also noticed Kelly on defence at least once. No idea who he replaced on that down.
4. Saw J.Jones on at least one play.

Person is making some good plays and an impression in his early career. The fumble recovery TD was nice, but he's in the face of the Arbuckle and playing well.

Haven't really noticed, Parker, Griffin or Kramdi that much. I guess that's a good thing? Seems to be more pressure with Person takes more reps replacing a DT.

The game is there for us to win if we can not make the big mistakes of the past.

Crowd loving this game so far. Very ebullient. ST and d TDS are always very popular.

Great temp, smoke basically unchanged. Nice breeze. They should all be like this. Well maybe 0 smoke...

TOR thought they'd come in and just half butt it. Not good enough tonight as we're finally awake.

O ain't great, but besides a fluke TO they are doing ok. Strev clearly got the memo, just don't throw more picks.

I fully expect TOR to come out with more energy in the second h. 2.5 TDS isn't that much if they can shut down our d again.

So far I'm proud of the Bombers, especially the d and st.

[Strevy]

Streveler is light years ahead of Zach.  Dude needs to be put to pasture.....

[Blue In BC]

Have we thrown a pass longer than 10 yards yet? It's leaving the defence close to LOS and taking away our run game.

[TecnoGenius]

Oh ya, the run mostly o plan is great. Love the strev Brady run run option. Love the sweeps. More run please. We may not need to pass much to win this if d keeps stopping them.

We're up 18, I'd think we'll be running the ball to chew up the clock. We cannot turn the ball over and give them a spark

Streveler is light years ahead of Zach.  Dude needs to be put to pasture.....

strev was terrible - one pick 6 and i don't think he completed a pass over 15 yards

total of 49 passing yards in a half of cfl football

he has happy feet and can't read a defence. 

i am thrilled the bombers are winning but they are doing it in spite of a mediocre offense - that is great but strev isn't the answer.
