Will be interesting to see. The kicker they have who is an Global has a hell of a leg but no accuracy or consistency in both facets of kicking. He was pretty close to making the NFL a few times. He should be one of the better global players we've seen yet.

FIFO is just "fit in" in the sense of everyone pulling the same direction for the same goal on the football field. It's not at all a request to suppress personality or personal responsibility, personal or group accountability or sweep criminality under the rug. I don't really know how it has entered this discussion as a means to build/enable a culture of disrespect in the community of the team or broader community. Appears to be quite the opposite.

I find them a lot more negative toward Desjardins than most, deservedly so as someone who is quite pompous along with having questionable competence.

The main problem in Ottawa was not having a QB or an offense. They hired Lapo, he had two offseasons and this is what he puts on the field. They are worse today than they were when he was hired.

Sure, but BLM goes down and the next guy is ready to play, even a raw rookie. Regardless of the whole team, who is one QB that you could say Lapolice developed into a reasonable CFL quarterback?

How does the world keep giving an offensive guru a pass for never developing a quarterback and never running an efficient or good offense as a head coach? Again, 4 full or partial seasons as a head coach and worst or 2nd worst offense in all major categories in all of them, even the Grey Cup team in 2011. Even with the 2011 season included a historically awful win percentage among head coaches all-time and particularly with the number of games he's coached in this generation. If you owned or ran a CFL team how would you have any confidence going into 2022 with Lapolice as your head coach? As a counter, Dave Dickenson can throw a raw rookie QB out there and win games, compete. He's done it multiple times in a similar length of career as a head coach. Khari is winning with multiple QB's. Hamilton puts anyone out at QB and competes. Why does Lapo have such difficulty?

Don't really understand the Arbuckle trade for the Argos. Only way it makes sense to me is to save cap space but given the signing bonus don't even see much there. To me they've given up on this season even though they are contenders. MBT isn't taking them anywhere and they are also one hit away from Pipkin.

Yep, undefeated against the West with every game aside from Calgary being an ass whoopin and popped the "potentially undefeated" Ticats bubble week 1. There's no fluke here.

Well we had Reggie Slack who led the Riders to the Grey Cup in Reinebold's first season as coach after he cut him. Slack was as good of a QB as there was around that time not named Flutie, Garcia or Ham.

Skunk rule. BC looked like they would have gladly invoked it in the 2nd half last night.

Same thing you do with a -40 windchill in mid-November as we had in 2011.

Yeah, Lapolice isn't going to develop a QB. He never has going on 3 decades. The fact he started this season with Nichols-Davis proves that he has no interest in it. Ottawa is done this season. They need to let Evans play and make mistakes to learn. The yo-yo stuff is just stupid. Playing a new QB every week.

Somehow Maas and Fajardo believe he's a great passer. They don't run much RPO anymore and few designed run plays for him, not many rollouts. McAdoo made do with a crap QB in Fajardo out of necessity and he didn't face plant, he did ok. Based on that they think he's a passer now.

Riders better leave 10 into block so Fajardo and Duke can start to dominate.

97 Argos were +333. The 2nd place Als finished -23 even with a 13-5 record because they got shitcanned by the Argos so many times that year. Bombers lost 3 games to Argos that year by average of 29 points.

Josh Johnson. Anyone remember him?

BLM's passes look like they aren't subject to gravity. He's gonna get one of his receivers killed.

Sometimes a thread ban is a gesture of kindness.

The refs made the difference in that 7 score game. Shame when they influence the outcome in that way.

Fajardo fluff ball for INT first drive.

Buck Pierce. The dominance of the 19 team defensively and teams wise (aside from placekicking thus far) with an actual functional offense.

That's not accurate. Last one in 2019 by Edmonton and pretty sure we had one around 06-07 in Hamilton.

And they anus.

FG snaps have been wild tonight.

That's a bullshit PI when our DB basically dropped the pick while the other DB took the receiver.
