Official Game Day Thread - Montreal at Winnipeg , October 25, 2025

Sorry have to disagree wasn't by the throat same as the tackle by the Bomber #45 (Baily) near the end of the game, no penalty either.

You can disagree all you want, it was a foul in both cases, and the CFL claiming it takes player safety seriously is a total joke.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

It was effectively his 1st CFL start. Streveler only played about 5 plays and I'm not sure how many reps he got in practice this week. Even with Collaros not playing he probably was getting reps as a quasi # 2 just as preparation. I don't think they'd exclude him from that when they knew he'd wouldn't dress.

Regardless. As mentioned he was missing Oliveria, Demski, Wilson and Bryant on offence. All of that was not going to make it easy for any QB.

Driving home on the post game Wilson said he was never told what his involvement in this game would be.

Doug Brown found that very unusual.

Who knows what that means but to me maybe they don't really have much faith in him. It's too bad he didn't get more reps though because he's one hit away from being the hopes and dreams of watching the Bombers in the Grey Cup this year.

This is very strange indeed. Are we that out to lunch as a coaching staff that you can't let the poor guy know he may be called into the game??? I also find it odd that Collaros couldn't bring himself to talk to the guy on the sideline when the offense wasn't on the field. Doesn't sound like too many people were giving him any help. Obvioulsy Terry isn't a member of the old boys club and that's sad, so much for being good teammates and helping each other out.

Let's not read too much into one poster not noticing anyone speak to him at one point of the game.

I'm sure he got plenty of help throughout the game.

All our DEs that were put on the roster today showed flashes but remember this wasn't all of Montreal's starters.  That said I would like to see if one of these guys can get on next week.  I like Person but perhaps he should come off.  Big decision!

Ayers 8 tackles what a beast

Thomas was around the ball today and played ok

[Sway]

moved down from the upper deck to behind the bombers bench for most of the third and fourth.

zach never talked to wilson one time

wilson wasn't on the phone to hogan at all - standing mostly by himself, no looking at an ipad - once MOS came and tapped him on the shoulder pads. 

kinda strange - maybe that's normal

Interesting observation

I seen Alexander with his helmet on the whole game half way on the field encouraging all his team mates all game.

Chalk it up to one of the many "FIFO" isms
I guess. Be nice if Zach was helping the kid out.

Terry, as a functioning QB was better than Strev. All there is too it

I honestly think OShea was gonna give Strev a 3 plus quarters today

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Considering they didn't even tell him if he'd be playing today the plan was probably to run Streveler regardless if he completed a pass all game or not.

Ya,  I heard him on post game with Doug Brown pressing the issue, thanks Doug.

I couldn't tell if Terry was just being FIFO(never tell the media anything) or he genuinely was left in the dark all week.

I don't know guys.

Everyone's ripping on Strev for his 3 completion game; but he threw for 54 yards and rushed for 72.

Now Terry is a better QB because he passed for 79 yards and rushed for 30?

Person was moved to the PR and not the 1 game IR. That's not a good sign. I doubt he plays again this year. Good chance Jenkins gets to play next week.

Thomas had another game with no DT's and no impact. Not sure that even registers as playing OK. The best thing he did was not get injured.

I guess me and all the CFL officials on the field and the CC are wrong, okay then.

People excited for Wilson's promise due to his arm strength and ability to throw deep reasonably accurate at times.  His mobility also gives us hope.

It will take 5 to 10 starts min to know what Wilson is imo.

Reading a CFL D and limiting turnover is an incredibly difficult task for a young QB.

I am not a fan of ripping Strev, he did all he can for this club for a long time and while he had some bad outings, he helped us win a few when we needed him to.

I read that Vaughters led the team with five sacks this season, Jenkins had two in one game.

5 sacks is our sack leader?!?! Seriously??? Holy cow, that is aweful. I've never heard of such low numbers. Betts on the other hand, had 15, and folks said they overpaid for him, really?? What are we paying Vaughters for 5 sacks, and Willie for whatever he got this year?? Betts got more than our whole D line combined!!!

That's because Alexander is the ultimate team guy, Zach not so much. Sorry, but if your understudy is in the game, maybe you should lend a pointer or 2 to him in between series. It's a really bad look.
