Dolegala must be tinkled pink...escaped Sask.....got the **** end of stick in B.C.....could likely will be getting sized for a ring

The Argos have won 18 Grey Cups. The last time they lost a Grey Cup game was in 1987 when they fell 38-36 to Edmonton. Since then, they have won every Grey Cup they have played in. They won in 1991, 96, 97. 04, 12, 17 & 22. They're waaaaay overdue for a loss. We'll be the team to give it to them.

Cannot take Arbuckle lightly. I know it was a few years back but he and Daniels beat us up pretty good week 5 of 2021. He is capable of getting hot. Weve yet to beat them this year(0-2) and the Argos have a very very good D, so this game is likely going to be uncomfortably close. I remember how pumped and confident i was heading into last years Grey Cup after Montreal knocked off the 16-2 Argos, thinking it was going to be a cake-walk........

We will win because last time we brought nick Taylor in late in yr...we won...he's the lucky charm

That being said his presence back there indeed helped with communication and player positioning and we had no busts...the best ..tight coverage I seen...in 2 yrs...obviously him and BA back made a big difference...Taylor definitely didn't look like a guy with literally 1 yr between games...he was solid..and will be better on Sunday after knocking of the dust and rust

You could put @bluto in at their qb position, don’t matter, we still need to prepare with focus and intensity.

Wondering your thoughts about the Argos bringing in scott. As fans do we over analyze this; ie -- play book insights

Is it strategic in that sense, or just because he's shown he can be competent and has history in Toronto

As I am regularly quick to point out, I don't know enough to know enough, so I like to ask on here: With the hot mics during the division finals, and the QBs yelling play calls.... Does that give the other teams anything, or do they already know? Or is the lingo coded enough that it can't necessarily be deciphered? Was curious about that when watching the replay...

Same, there hasn’t been a Grey Cup game in my daughter’s life without the Bombers in it. 
She’s only 3, but she was as into the west final as much as any kid that age could possibly be, including insisting on wearing a Bomber shirt and asking me “We don’t like the green guys, right Dad?”

I remember the first time I said that to my dad, circa 1976. It's one of the few times I ever saw tears come to his eyes....

They have 19 games of film on us. They could probably design our playbook. 

Except the few wrinkles incorporated this week in practice that haven’t been introduced to them yet. Maybe a triple reverse. :)

Ive always wondered the same and hate tsn at the same time for stuffing their cameras right into huddles, sideline talks between coaches or players.

Given the time between you hear that and when the ball is snapped it doesn’t matter.  You could hear it then watch the play and pick up on terminology but it’s basically not useful.  The D doesn’t have time to gather the play call and realign itself before the snap.

OL literally calls out who/what they are blocking every play.  It’s more about execution.

The one thing that would be useful would be the D calls for the offense.  Like if Collaros/Buck knew when they were calling the play what coverage the D was in that would be huge.  That’s what Belichick got caught snooping for.

Little over blown...for most part now teams know the basic stuff each other is running...and tendencies...I'd anything they will just change some vernacular as to what the play or set is

The value would be getting an idea of the back pages progression stuff that we haven’t shown. 
 In the modern era with cadence and term adjustments weekly it isn’t what it used to be. The Argos will be well prepared for what we’ve done this year. It’ll be up to buck to come up with some thing to keep them off balance. Same thing Scott or no.
