Could be the case .. but if he's a disruption in the locker room .. how is he a team captain?

Eventually .. there are a few things being worked on in the background (mostly cosmetic) that make it preferential to hold off on the contest for a bit .. would hate to see people put time and effort into a logo and *NOT* have it mesh well with the site

He has none .. also has no evidence to support his assertion that Mack cut Kent .. lot of hot air ..

Welcome to the wild wild Eastern conference .. still anyone's game ..

They also signed Jennings .. Kackert goes to the 1game IR .. might be a sign they expect him to be out awhile ..

You also have to think Saskatchewan is hard up against the cap as it is right now .. they couldn't break the bank for him .. even if they wanted to.

Also makes this organization a tough sell for impending defensive free agents ..

Don't like the logo above the name plate either (even on my current jersey) .. looks like a cheap after thought.

*cough* And continuing to blitz despite despite that pressure constantly being picked up is simply asking for trouble ..

You don't buy the fact that there is a drop off in talent between our starters and our backups? You don't buy that guys who've *NEVER* played a CFL regular season game may not execute to the same level as the starters .. interesting .. For the record .. we *DID* blitz during the game .. Ray did a good job of getting the ball out of his hands .. but .. beyond that .. the Argos offensive line .. backs .. did a tremendous job picking up that pressure.

It couldn't possibly have to do with the fact we were down ... 2 starting defensive tackles 2 starting linebackers And had a host of new guys seeing their first, significant game action .. no .. it's the co-ordinator who failed us that game .. the simple fact is, we don't have the same speed or push on defense when 1/3 of our starters aren't playing. Who'd have thought that? But let's not sell the Argo's short .. they have a good offensive line .. they schemed well .. and they took it to the Bombers. But please don't simplistically toss blame around without first considering the why.

And let's be totally honest here .. Hamilton went through a stretch where they tried to find that next guy .. they couldn't .. Montreal is going to have to do it very soo and they really have nobody in the pipe capable of leading that team .. Edmonton still hasn't turned the corner .. Calgary has the.. next Buck Pierce as their starter .. it's *NOT* an easy thing to 'fix the QB position' .. sooner every team .. every fanbase .. is going to realize that.

The team isn't bad .. the offense is .. we have a championship calibre defense when all our starters are in (hell we're pretty damn good when we have backups in) .. if the offense could be average .. this would be a very dangerous team.

I think, in part, it's due to the fact they've rejigged things to try and keep Buck upright .. protect him .. Buck's inability to *DO ANYTHING* in the offense is dragging the whole thing down ..

Wow .. I have to say .. it's nice to watch Montreal implode..

I feel the same way. He's been willing to expend political capital to do things right .. to build this team for the long haul and ensure it's sustainable. We've come a long way in three seasons .. unfortunately for Mack, his coaches have been unable to correct the one thing that's sorely hindered this team ... consistent offensive output. That will ultimately be his downfall ,, the powers that be ARE the sort who cow to pressure.

It's a shame if it goes down like this .. I think Creehan / Burke are tremendous coordinators and losing them (and the influence over our defense) would hurt .. hopefully the team can right the ship and we can make some progress.

Add Sears back to the list of wounded:

I approve this message!

This is all I will say about Crowton and the gameplan for tonight:

Ray in the face of relentless pressure ..

Argos are going to fall flat on their face ..

That's a little disturbing ..

You win the internetz! Bravo.

Given the choice between sudden change and a punt .. I'll take the punt. I'll also take a quarterback who does what's asked of him by the OC .. it was one of the more damning criticisms leveled against Elliott. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Pierce and I think the offense is wasting the efforts of a championship calibre defense .. but the organization recognized Elliott wasn't the long term solution here .. they moved on .. and are evaluating Goltz and Hall ..
