The injury losses turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and that's not meant to poop on Wilson, Bighill or Schoen....all great players. But in a year we needed to see some development of young players we did. All 3 of those losses could have skidded us out of the playoffs if the offseason we had from the scouts and the GM hadn't been so solid. Man...our LBer crew came out of nowhere at the exact right time, A guy like Bonds just steps in seamlessly and has an all star level season. On and on I could go. What particularly impresses me is how much further along we are towards have a very real and legit chance at the home GC this year because we're not aging out a ton of players and the guys we are we have field tested their replacements. Just solid team building.

Agree with all that. It’s kind of crazy how every thing lined up for development. Next years team could be as dominant as 21 if the off season goes well.

I really don't see him as a fit anymore and that's not a knock on him because someone else will almost definitely sign him.

yeah our secondary is soo good and young now. If we retain every one the only way you take one of those jobs is injury. The only opening I think we might see is S, and I think we have the guys we’d want to fill that too. we have always scouted dbs exceptionally well. But this year is insane.

Need 25 points to win. Argos will get one on ST, one on defence, squeak out one on offense and at least 1 field goal. That's 24. 

We just need 25. Heard it here first!

I don’t think they’ll get one on D. Giving up a td to teams and D is crazy hard to over come. 
 Generally in the cfl, it’s a race to 30. If you win that, you win a great deal of the time. Especially in. Grey cups.

my guess is they don't overthink this and change up the game plan too much... generally they've been going with minimal pressure and making the QB sit in the pocket and find blanketed receivers... 

 

I'm a little surprised there hasn't been curfews in the past.... you may be right about some guys - let's call it - "losing focus" the past couple years 

They’re in Vancouver where there’s a lot of fun stuff to do at night. This wasn’t a concern in Hamilton or Regina, where the most fun thing to do is play bloody knuckles with your drunk cousin, therefore a curfew wasn’t necessary.

The bumpy start...issues...injuries...faux paux for.not playing some guys in TC in the end benefitted us

We were forced...yes forced to make changes we likely wouldn't have in some areas...and if we went status quo...I.dont think we are here

If anything this season allowed some the vets to have to play and remember how to win again and just further cemented this culture and what we do here with the new guys..and there are a lot when u scan the roster

As Darvin said "it's just what we do"
