Quote from: Jesse on September 20, 2025, 09:56:23 PMIt was a dumb "record" anyway. Not sure how you can claim to have consecutive games with receptions when there are many games he missed in between.

Disagree the record mattered to me and many others

TIME TO TRADE FOR CRUM "NOW", he will leave Ottawa next year anyway so they might as well get something now

Pass if Zach is back we good at QB for now

Totally. Streveler is way better.

Didn't say that
Not interested in Crum if Zach is back which I expect

Blue In BC · September 20, 2025, 10:11:40 PM

Yeah I think the 10 year old could have completed a couple more passes than Streveler. How sad is that??? One of his 3 passes was actually a forward hand off that counts as a pass.

Allen is making a name for himself.

I don't think Nichols will miss any time. Ankle twisted / cramped? Parker got nicked and I'm not sure he came back but that also looked like an ankle maybe. He can't start 1 game and then get hurt again.

So. What changes to the roster get made that resulted from this performance on offence. We might have lost Wheatfall to the 6 game IR if he broke or bruised his ribs. Didn't look good. Time for Echols I guess.

There are underserved wins and there are UNDERSERVED WINS. That was one of them.

Big thanks to Lewis Ward for missing 2 mid-length field goals and a big thanks to Vaval for 2 big returns on those misses. Pretty much the difference in the game.

The passing game didn't deserve to win, but it's a team game and our ST and defence outplayed the Redblacks by more than the offence was outplayed.

Pigskin · September 20, 2025, 10:32:30 PM

Ugly, but it's a win. Strev. 3/8 54 yards, 1 Int.

Corcoran leading receiver with 24 yards.

But I will say our D was pretty good tonight. gave up yardage, but held Ottawa off the score board.

Brother was at the game. Said staff was working on Parkers knee. O. Wilson had is ankle taped.

I find the 10 year old comment disrespectful, not fair or accurate Strev had another bad game but threw a few good balls but mostly bad ones
Good news on Nichols
Yeah 6 game for Wheat
How does Echols look at practice anyone?
Allen looked bad early but came after that. A great sign and future star in a year or two.

Bad news about Wilson and Parker

Ya, except on Dru's first 2 drives every single completion (many big) was against Allen one-on-one. He was brutal to start. However, hand it to him and Younger, they seemed to find solutions after that.

Quote from: Blue In BC on September 20, 2025, 10:11:40 PMI don't think Nichols will miss any time.

I don't know. It was a total non-contact injury. The jump did it. What kind of non-contact occurs on a jump? Guess it could be ACL or achilles. But then he looked pretty ok walking off. So I'm not sure anyone can say.

Losing Nichols would be disaster for our takes-forever-to-learn complicated DB scheme. Same with Holm. Those guys just have to stay healthy.

But it worked, didn't it?

Quote from: theaardvark on September 20, 2025, 09:54:58 PMDemski's consecutive pass reception record blown up by Streveler's incompetence.

Hogan/Streveler should have had Demski run that shovel pass instead of Mitchell...

But then it wouldn't have worked. Everyone expects the Demski sweep because we run it a lot. No one expects the any-other-REC sweep, because we use it rarely.
