If happy good Vaj shows up...I see that...Sask secondary is suspect and bad, even with Mr. MODP..MOP....and really nobody in the Sask receiving corp screams dangerous.....and you have Harris at the helm....guy will wilt and fade...always does, so if it gets into some kind of shoot out...I dont see Sask keeping pace with a dialed in Vaj....just hope they both slap the crap outta each other and come in beat up and tired...tho don't think it gonna matter JohnnyAbonny, Zach Schnitzer and wbbfan 3

17to85 Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 Toronto seems to be going the right direction compared to the other eastern teams and will have the motivation of last year's playoffs. Don't believe the Montreal hype. They're good but still have faj at qb.
GCn20 Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 9 hours ago, Zach Schnitzer said: I’m more worried about Sask than BC. The quick passing game of Trevor Harris is effective vs our scheme and we barely beat them in LDC & Banjo Bowl. Do I think we’re a better team? Yes. But they stop the run very well. If it’s Sask, Zach will need to play like he did in the 1st half of the LDC. Not particularly worried about either of them. Both have soft as butter defences. We just need to do our thing and we should be fine. The real GC challenge will come out of the East where Montreal and Toronto can match defences with us. 5 minutes ago, Mark H. said: I am leaning towards TO myself. Their D is dailed in right now Toronto seems to have gotten their stuff together now, and have a very deep and talented roster. Should be a slobber knocker in the East.

Both teams that may challenge us are deeply flawed and exploitable in their overall team build. A GC against Montreal and Toronto is still a very winnable game but it will take as you described.

"Bombers have all the luck" say delusional Rider fans. To me, the league and CC favour Toronto, BC, Montreal and Sask over the other 4-5 teams in general. If it’s East v West, they always lean East. Sort of based off nothing honestly, it’s just a feeling I’ve always had.

Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 All this talk about Harris is not a big game QB and he sucks in playoffs... same was said about Cofaj... I think a healthy respect for Harris is warranted... Cofaj though- no ******* way, he can shove those sprinkles up his ass. 2 hours ago, Super Duper Negatron said: One win away from the Grey Cup!

Goalie Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 Kelly will choke in the eastern semi leading to Ottawa vs Montreal. Montreal wins. BC beats Sask. We beat BC on an above average snowless November day. Winnipeg vs Montreal. Winnipeg wins in the Dome. But we are the bad guy. The heel cuz we beat BC. We thrive as the bad guys tho. wbbfan and JohnnyAbonny 2
wbbfan Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 I don’t think the CC favours any one. It is soo completely inept that it can be a big swing in terms of luck. If you live and die by the CC you haven’t done enough to win the game. A lot of mediocre teams fall into that range though. And some teams are more susceptible to specific rule enforcement. Several times this year the cc and refs ruined the competitive balance of games. I’d say more this year than the last 5 combined. I also think the lack of escalated punishment for cheap shots contributed heavily to a chippy dirty trending play after the whistle that spun games out of control, and lead to many injuries. I don’t think it was intentional, I think it was mass incompetence and attempts to protect refs while micro managing Ds to create offence. I think the hash mark change caused a temporary blip in scoring, but that since defences have adjusted it’s actually lead to a reduction in scoring and making the game less fun to watch on O and D. TLDR, league screwed the league up. Inept not corrupt. No difference in feeling between being screwed by ineptness or corruption. tldr 2 I’m bad at tldr K-Shack 1
JohnnyAbonny Posted October 28 Report Posted October 28 I don’t think the league is corrupt so to speak. I think there’s just a very, very subtle push to let things go the big market teams way. TSN doesn’t help this either, the way they slobber all over BC and the Argos JCon 1
