Ugly-Strevelers gift INT in first quarter
    -Pass rush
    -Bombers playoff hopes
 


Yes, our pass rush or lack of it is terrible. I am surprised our DBs can cover for that long. Vaughters and Person have disappeared. Thomas and Korn missing in action most of the the knight. 4 DTs between our 7 D line.

14 points on two Ints.

Also agree need to feed BO20 the ball more in the 2nd. half.

Also bad, the crowd in Hamilton. Was at the game last night, far to many empty seats.
Don't go through life looking in the rearview mirror.

1) Streveler as our QB 2) Streveler gifting 14 points in 1st half with his inept performance 3) our stubborn head coach having faith in Streveler giving bombers the best opportunity to win this game Should I go on LOL

The bad:

Are we last in turnover ratio, sacks made, ints and biggest big plays given up? Watching the Argos/Elks there were more more sacks and ints made then we've had in quite some time.

We used to lead a lot of those categoires.
One game at a time.

Watching these other games, the quarterbacks have significantly more time to pass. All of the teams that played this week.

We probably have the worst O line in the CFL. With younger  players that we have been bringing along for several years. And others that are well past their prime.

It seems like a weaker d line can be worked around by a good Defensive coach. Like we have.

Weak Oline...

Big problem.

I'm not.  I think our whole D is built around cover.  We're not bad at pass rush, I seriously think we've completely abandoned it.  Except for some token Fatboi bull rush just to keep them slightly honest.

I think it's a conscious choice, and that's why I think we're good at it.  It's also why I think it takes DBs so long to get up to speed, and why we need 4 legit DBs.

It's a weird ploy.  But maybe it suddenly everything is working right it can be effective.  And it's not like we haven't been trending this way since Sayles (and certainly Walker) left.

Quote from: dd on September 13, 2025, 02:35:55 PMStreveler, shouldn't be playing but too stubborn to give Wilson a shot, he absolutely couldn't be any worse, it's an insult to us as fans to watch this buffoon try and make plays

Oh, he can absolutely be worse.  You forget '12-'14 where every week we were saying "oh, <next QB 5th in the roster> can't be worse than <loser 4th string who just failed miserably>".

Careful what you wish for.

Strev. that futile last play rush taking a pounding for no reason whatsoever was the cherry on top of a real stinkeroo.

Reasons:

1) pride, get that last TD to show you're not useless
2) morale, get some momentum going into next week
3) helping out any WPG fans betting on WPG with the spread
4) help Lemon betting on WPG with the spread

Quote from: Jesse on September 13, 2025, 01:30:56 PMWell, I just hope you're in the minority.

Amongst normal ST fans, there will be a lot more of Goldies than you might think.  Especially dumping their GC tix.  Dumping the '26 ST will be less though, it often takes 2-3 seasons of complete suckitude before real fans bail (see: SSK with Dickenson The Lesser).  Remember, this is only our first season of garbage.

But as for forum-member uber-fans?  Goldie surely must be the only one.  Snap out of it, Goldie!!
