ohhhh boy

hansen with great cover

lets go bombers!

100%. Block of the week is a great idea, the crusher by desjarlais and couture last week would be it for sure in the last game.

busy busy. air liftin 6 guys mid season is always a sign of a strong healthy team 😛

Idk normally yeah, but at home? I dont think they guys are capable of a trap game especially at home.

they didnt do an alternative logo or fund raiser did they? they just had dicker talk for 22 seconds in an orange shirt. hilarious that they are taking shots at us. i guess they have to punch up though, no one for them to punch down to.

That logo would look GREAT on some grey cup merch...

Ludwigs comment is GOLD. Hell yeah. I hope we rock this logo once a year, its freaking sweet!

so the elk are going with 3 imp rbs, and starting 9 nis? 🤔

the problem isnt personnel. teams are defending tight zone and inside zone runs differently this year. Thats why its all harris runs for 1 or less vs harris runs for 7-10. If our run package play call doesnt evolve it wont improve. We've seen one out side run in the last month + where the pass game play call has improved dramatically.

This year the only games they've had good viewership for is us once, the riders and in hamilton. other wise they have been 150k-200k under the average.

Its a classic attempt to destabilize and invoke fear to force a new leadership/ideal into power. Its iirc 5 monthes till kick off 2022 for them. They have no players or coaches under contract, and no longer have the TV deal. They are in a worse position than the XFL 2.0 at this point. Much worse. I know rogers has the majority stake aprox any way, what % does tsn hold? Such a dumb ownership situation. I think we are past that point. The blue jays even when they've been bad were a decent draw. The raptors were a great draw during the bad eras. Its not strictly product related. The argos arent a terrible team this year. When they last won the cup they couldnt draw worth a damn either.

QFT. The cfl would do very well to throw every thing and the kitchen sink at cohon. That guy was phenomenal. Or atleast look for some one with a similar skill set. Ambrosie seems like a lazy hire at best. Yep, and even then I dont know if they'd get 35k. Not to mention the XFL track record of sustainability is piss poor. I also think it is very likely that with the centralized ownership that it will never equal the CFL in terms of quality of play and player. That said, leagues like that do recirculate a lot of talent and help development for the CFL and NFL. The problem is the current spring league variants have been very low quality ball. Border line semi pro at best imo. And if the XFL stays at that level of sub CFL talent, well Its gonna get real ugly real fast for the argos.

They clearly arent gonna invest in the team as is. I think its a bad situation all in all. We might well see the argos exodus to the XFL, if the XFL launches.

Oh boy as if the rider fans didnt dislike me enough already, now speedflex will hunt me too since my secret is out! 😆 jk. I wouldnt imagine that they have a 10 or 20k cap stadium. I think the best hope would be to find a good location with an existing field and rebuild the stands. It doesnt need to be a 50k stadium, maybe 20k range like the als did for soo long would be good as long as it had room for expansion. Problem is, there are no argo fans. Its not the unwillingness to travel imo, its the general lack of any interest in the argos.

I would think the best option would be to double in a Usports venue and upgrade the seating and stuff. QFT I think if you get into one of the closer suburbs, you'd have a tremendous ability to draw from those stronger outlier communities. The difference in driving to brampton vs driving to the stadium in toronto is huge. (worst city to drive in with in country wide imo) The online streaming is a good point too. I could see selling domestic rights to a SN type, and really going forward trying to focus on getting a strong streaming partner. I mean thats how I watch I stream on TSN. I know a LOT of expats who are constantly trying to figure out ways to watch from their new homes. + you could tap into a bit of the global market. Im sure a bunch of germans would love to watch hansen play .

I think high motor, highly competitive people in toxic situations or situations with out real leadership can be viewed with those questions at times. People who are complacent in a toxic/absentee leadership situation are people who dont want the work and responsibility. Guys like WJ and harris wanted to win. Some times when a winner is stuck on a loser you see flair ups. I cant say for sure thats what it is, but I can see that being it. They certainly have bought into and support the culture. And when your coach, and your star players do it, it is much easier to sell to new guys.

Yep. some one should buy him a copy of "leaders eat last" by simon sinek. Or just tell him to stop being a selfish child. w/e. Here, fifo serves as a check and balance system. If some ones ego got to big, itd be checked or they'd be replaced. ssk doesnt have that. In fact no other team in the league imo, has a winners culture. Other teams can (but seldom are) out coach us, out athletic us, they could take away our run game, or pressure, but no team can out work or the bombers. Because every guy on the roster will do the little things to make their team mates better and work together in every aspect.

little known fact, chris strevelers body is made up entirely of heart.

He's like chris streveler, with no ***** heart. And no deep ball. Streveler played on a broken ankle and didnt complain.

Ive wondered about moving the argos to some fringe area of the GTA where they could garner more of a small market interest. Id still call em the argos and toronto too. If the CFL dropped toronto, I could see tsn reeling a bit from the bragging rights of average market size etc. But to be honest, the CFLs draw is 3/4 from the west. If the CFL went from TSN to Sportsnet it could actually be an improvement. A big portion of whats broken with marketing to a younger audience is on the TSN side. Old ass reporters who talk over the game, cameras not showing whats actually going on, piss poor quality panels and booth combinations, and every year a bunch of hokey pop country crap forced down our throats. I know sportsnet and the score are toronto based too, but what do those channels actually have exclusive rights to any more?

I dont believe that some guys frequently get more calls than others in the CFL. The officials know who our DEs are, but they hardly ever get a holding call from the refs. Wr's dont get favoritism in PI, nor DBs get passes. 100% weak minded BS.

coaching and culture.

It wouldnt matter if he was faster than ever. No wr will fix a broken qb who cant throw 20 yards down the field. But it is messed up to hear he could be that reduced this year.
