TBURGESS

I'm really looking forward to seeing what McGuire has. Good decision to give him this game, even if we lose.

I think Montreal will be better this week. Harris will have more of the playbook and will have worked with his receivers for an extra week. He missed a couple of easy ones, including the Bighill pick that turned the game in our favour.

Both feet were OOB before Bighill destroyed him. We've all seen that kind of play called RP tons of times. No surprise that the ALs wanted a penalty.

I've lived in Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver, and Merida Mexico. The only one I'd go back to is Vancouver, but I can't afford it any more. My next move is out to Nova Scotia when my wife's parents no longer need us. Just bought a nice piece of land over looking the bay of Fundy.

Before Collaros - 3rd in the West, 4th overall = Mid-Tier.

The O line's been good for several years. We went from mid-tier to dominant the day Collaros made his first start.

No other coach could have 5 consecutive 10 win seasons because no other coach except Ritchie lasted more than 5 years. (Ritchie got 5 years + 7 games)

Start and end the season earlier. Games on Thursday through Sunday before the NFL starts. Thursday through Saturday after the NFL starts. More game nights, less triple headers. X Canadians, Y Americans, Z Globals. QB's are treated the same as any other player ratio wise. Teams can dress as many or as few QB's as they want. Longer work days, more contact practices. No divisions. Top 2 teams get a bye. 2 & 3 get home games. 2 plays 6. 3 plays 4. 16 game season. Every team plays every other team twice. Saturday playoff games. Sunday Grey Cup. 2 year contracts with an NFL window. Teams retain rights of NFL window players who have another year left on their contracts.

I think the CFL was hoping that Globals would be able to pick up the slack left by the NFL taking and keeping more players. Globals basically give each team an extra DI and they can play in US colleges before the CFL. GCn20's right about the OL situation and that makes the QB situation look even worse. Give Reilly time and he's still got the goods to produce big offensive numbers. Teams still want to use the tried and true 'use your Canadians on the OL', but it isn't working any more. DL's are eating them alive, which leads to tons of short dump passes and very few deep balls. 3 Import OL's make sense, but then teams need to be able to find starting level NI's at other spots. I know this is unpopular but maybe the answer is 1 more starting import and 1 less starting Canadian. No training camp and short work days can be fixed in the next contract and those changes should have a positive effect on the game. I hope the players association agrees. If the CFL wants to get fans more attached to the teams, then it needs to reduce the amount of player turnover. The 1 year contracts are good for players who have a good year and get an NFL look. Bring back the NFL window and 2 year minimum contracts and have the teams hold the CFL rights to the player if they come back to the CFL and still have a year left on their contract.

I'd almost forgotten about the pigeon poop jersey's, now I'm getting flashbacks. A pox on you and your families.

If Reilly is released, he won't be without a job long, but he won't get the kind of salary he gets in BC.

BC's effectively 2 games down on Hamilton. I can't see them crossing over this year.

I flipped a coin and it came up Riders. Should be the game of the week.

Shouldn't Ottawa keep PLAP for 6 years even if he doesn't make the playoffs in the first two years or win a playoff game until year 5? Surely it will pay off with a Grey Cup run in year 6 followed by a dominant team in year 7. For it is known that patience is the key. 😁

MOS would have a similar record to PLAP with that team. I give you MOS' first two seasons as 'proof'.

Most of Arbuckle's money has already been paid. IIRC his signing bonus was like half his yearly salary.

It's a balancing act between reps and protecting players from getting hurt. It will be very interesting to see how MOS handles it.

The old 'What if' scenario, with a made up answer just to take a shot at me. 🙄 Cuz you brought it up: If Harris was put on the one game, I wouldn't complain about it. Then again, I didn't complain that he was put on the 6 game and I won't complain if he's taken off early so we don't get the SMS advantage. If MOS says a player looks like he's good to go, that means his leg is still attached to his body, not that he's actually good to go.

Gotta say, I was pretty worried about starting 2 rookie DB's, but it turns out I needn't have.

Likely too much.

No coach can win when they have to start 5 or is it 6 different starting QB's. I'd give PLAP another year to sort things out.

You're desire to argue about this is dumb, but you gotta be 'that guy'. It shouldn't be a debate, not because the club says it's the knee, but because you could just click on the disagree and move on. I don't know if they are lying and you don't know if they are telling the truth, but history would be on my side re the club's injury information. Why 6 game Harris if he'll be back before the Grey Cup? There's no SMS reason because taking him off before the Grey Cup = Harris' salary counts. That tells me the club knows there's a chance that we don't see Harris again this year. How big of a chance? Who knows?

Geebrr's Creebrr's, I'm not arguing. I just gave my opinion. Is baseless your word of the day? Use it a bunch of times and it becomes your word? Maybe you should look up what it means. If you want to watch it again, you'll see him grab his leg in the end zone. That's what I'm basing my opinion on. Is it right? Maybe. Maybe not. Is it a knee cuz 'they' say so? Maybe. Maybe not. Does MOS or the club ever give us the truth about injuries? Nope. If you'd left it alone in the first place, it would have been forgotten by now. That's on you.

To all the folks who argued about how dominant we were last year... This is what it really looks like. Going to the stadium expecting a win every time is what it feels like. Getting a home playoff game. Getting the West final. These are the steps to the Grey Cup that we've already accomplished in a dominant manner. This is the type of team I've been waiting for for decades. My only advice to those who are going through this for the first time... Don't get cocky! Enjoy every minute of it while it while it lasts.
