Nolby Posted October 7 Report Posted October 7 Just one more win baby! Toronto is still playing for second, we're playing for first. Full house, keep the same roster line up and we lock up the West....Cant ******* wait!!!! HardCoreBlue, Piggy 1, rebusrankin and 1 other 1 1 2
Noeller Posted October 7 Report Posted October 7 Current forecast calls for Sunny and 17 during the day. Obviously a fair bit chillier by kickoff but still decent football weather for this time of year. Would be a great start to the turkey weekend to lock up that West Final...

I guess we'll find out later in the week... I'll be honest... I don't hate that the riders won last week (other than the fact that I generally hate the riders winning).... now we gotta keep playing meaningful football and have a chance to lock up first, at home, in front of a sold out crowd, on what should be a beautiful Oct evening... couldn't be better!

3rdand1.5 Posted October 7 Report Posted October 7 Yes, we don't really have the option to let our foot off the gas.....maybe the final week.... I really want the West final here, PAS is such a tough place to play for opposing teams, especially when the weather turns Hopefully non off the injuries were significant last week T.O is a good team, it will not be an easy feat to beat them, but I truly feel if we play disciplined football, we should beat any team especially at home in what looks to be very close to another sellout.... Booch 1
Booch Posted October 7 Report Posted October 7 perfect scenario being in drivers seat now....we control our fate.....second last game...at home....full jacked house to clinch West. We play our butts off and send another message. to the league that Cup goes thru us....then a nice bye week to lick any wounds....then a nothing game in Mtl to close out the season...let key guys get some reps to stay engaged and sharp...plus allows the subs moocho reps.....then we wait as the other 2 teams beat each other up 2 times (this week, and in playoffs) just to have a chance to come into our barn with us being rested...prepared....fingers crossed totally healthy, and in front of an insane play-off crowd and unreal atmosphere....I like them chances of trip #5 in a row to the Cup K-Shack, Piggy 1, rebusrankin and 6 others 3 1 5
Super Duper Negatron Posted October 7 Report Posted October 7 Have to wrap it up this week. Leaving it to chance in the final week is asking for trouble. K-Shack, Rod Black, Blue28 and 3 others 3 3

Booch Posted October 7 Report Posted October 7 Makes one think possibly Ayers is gonna ne gone a while...Solid signing....showed flashes in Mtl..good size and still young....and experienced JohnnyAbonny, wbbfan, WinnipegGordo and 4 others 7
JohnnyAbonny Posted October 7 Report Posted October 7 Don’t know much about him other than he bounced around between the PR and AR. Sounds like he just fell through the cracks in Montreal with a pretty deep LB corps. 6”3 225, pretty big dude. Knows the league, worth a look at the very least. Good signing.

rebusrankin Posted October 7 Report Posted October 7 Call me crazy but I think if we can score one more point than Toronto, we're good. Plus not to brag but my predictions are right 52% of the time. Rod Black, Tracker, Bigblue204 and 1 other 2 2

bigg jay Posted October 8 Report Posted October 8 MOS said Onteria was mad he wasn't allowed to go back in against Hamilton so hopefully it means he's good to go. Never know with headshots though - better safe than sorry. Noeller, ddanger, HardCoreBlue and 4 others 4 3

blue85gold Posted October 8 Report Posted October 8 Feel like Griffin will be a big loss. Also essentially means that we have to replace BA with a Canadian. Do we have any other American DBs other than Bridges? Ayers was really coming along and will be missed on teams. BigBlueFanatic and wbbfan 1 1
JCon Posted October 8 Report Posted October 8 Feels really strange that this is last regular home game of the season. The predator comes to town and we have a chance to lock up the West Final. High of 15 Friday, so it should be a glorious night. HardCoreBlue, GCJenks, ddanger and 4 others 2 5

Didn't Griffin replace Karamoko early in the season?
Booch Posted October 8 Report Posted October 8 We could always put Cole at safety...but I sure we will run Hallett there. If so then hopefully we add Fox for BA and have him..Adams...and Woods all rotating...with no need for excessive Jake and Schmeck I'd assume if Griffin isn't able to go it would be Bridges and I think Notree is a lock for Ayers I do hope tho we don't do something stupid and start and give majority of reps to Thomas..Gauthier..Hallett...when we already have Keamdi and Ford as locked in defacto "starters" We don't need to do that and why make your team weaker if you don't have to. No knock on Canadians but if we plan to start what could be 11...I gonna barf...let some your talent who likely have more a future here...plus upside get the reps. rebusrankin, wbbfan and Piggy 1 3
johnzo Posted October 8 Report Posted October 8 (edited) so I know this topic of our roster composition has been debated at some length here, but lately I've found myself thinking about the second game in the BC home-at-home. We lost Neuf and Woli for that game and we replaced them with two imports -- Lucky and Randolph -- without having to disrupt any other positions. Normally when a team loses multiple national starters at once, the ripple effect will hit other parts of the roster as the next-best-Canadians become starters regardless of what position they play, which makes injuries to national starters pretty devastating. It seems like playing a surplus of Canadians -- especially forum whipping boys like Kramdi and Thomas -- has enabled us to have the roster flexibility to deal with injuries that would have crippled the team in past years.

rebusrankin Posted October 8 Report Posted October 8 Hallett will get picked on if he plays regular reps. I base this on past games where that is exactly what happened. I may be wrong but I doubt it. BomberBall., BigBlueFanatic, Bigblue204 and 1 other 3 1

I may be wrong but I doubt it. Yeah...he's not the best option...but we know he the Osh option...for varying reasons Gauthier in the traditional 3 LB set is a given...as we basically have nobody else..poor pr makeup there and doubt they will start Notree right outta the gate cause that's not how we do business...tho he prob wouldn't have a grasp on playbook anyway But if we have to replace 3 imports (BA..Griffin...Ayers) then one would assume Bridges for Griffen..Hallett likely for BA Still need 2 imports to fill out roster so Notree for Ayers mainly for ST..some defensive snaps..and then who? We have minimal options so the logical move would be Fox..to really shore up the defensive front to help with the missing pieces in the back 8 Many 3 and 4 combos..even some 5's with one as a Jack or dropping off with WJ/Woods/Fox/Adams/Haba/Garbutt...you would hardly need Thomas or Schmeck for rotation...really you could even only dress one of them and roster Karmoko or even Murphy in their spot for more over all depth on ST wbbfan and rebusrankin 2
