One thing I've learned over the years is that as a fan you never should take your opponent for granted. When fans start talking guaranteed wins or they have no woriies that's when a snake under a rock bites them in the ass & we lose. Especially in Regina on Labour Day.

Sgreed with the entire post...

Also, perfect analogy for the riders

Will never assume a win on Labour Day, but at the same time these last few years of knowing the odds are in our favour has been awesome.

Sometimes you have to play the refs as well as the green guys on Labour Day.....They like to have a leg up ....especially if the stands are full and we are pasting their arses to the wall.....No more hitting Zack on the ground and looking the other way........hopefully..GOBOMBERS

Now that the Tabbies have someone competent calling plays they may just be able to do something. And certainly our defence has been leaky on second an long for a few weeks.

But we've basically been winning our recent games not by defensive stingyness but by just plain outscoring everyone.

Still taking an Argo win.

Dolegala to start I see....2 picks minimum I bet

It's pretty unlikely the Argos win a game between Winnipeg and Sask... but I like your confidence!

Playing once every 3 weeks probably helps keep the O fresh.

10 games in a row will be a tough slog. I won't go so far as to say that we need the 1st round bye... but we need it.

Of course I was discussing the Labour Day Classic. Hope your Bombers have a good game on Labour Day too.

[Booch]

Labour day classic is now become our tuneup for an even better throttling in the BB....it's nice to own 2  fields to ply your trade haha

See typical Toronto attitude, it's all about them. ******* narcissists

Is Dolegala starting?   I like our chances with him  more so then Fine. 

Meh. Neither should be able to beat us.

It's never guaranteed; but I see no difference between a poop sandwich or poop salad starting at QB for them.

[Geebrr]

Dolegala is starting. Also way more likely to throw the game away. 

[Booch]

Basically a choice of the smartest dumb kid...neither of their QB's should beat us...and they won't unless we royally crap ourselves...and we have done that a few times already and still won

I don't think the Argos are in danger of losing the first round bye in the playoffs.  TO is 2 games up on Montreal WITH a game in hand.    The only "problem" game for the Argos is the Bombers.    The Bombers are coming off a bye week when they play them, and if the BC game was any indication, the Argos might be in for a long night.

You're likely right... but being a Toronto sports fan for this long has made me reflexively "glass-half-full".

As for what constitutes a "problem" for us? We have a QB that frankly we can't do without. If The Chad is out, it will be as if the Boatmen have no oars.

The Chad sounds like an Ambercrombie and Finch wearing, preppy, trust fund kid.

I think now that The Chad has to play 10 straight...and the hits pile up.....the production goes down....way down

Take it easy on Bluto! Great to see him posting hear and also the CFL needs more Argo Fans like Bluto!

I agree Bluto - I am looking forward to the Argo game against my Bombers - Just to see who might be Number 1!! And I for one am glad that the Argos have a good QB. The CFL needs all the help it can get and a good Argo team is good for all the league.

Yes, without the Argos where would the league and the financially successful teams have to dump their money into
