Southern Ontario was brutally hot this week. Glad to be home but this smoke… After travelling to TO for that debacle last week we just decided that we need a for sure “Go” by about that time or we’re not driving the hour + to the game tonight.

Yeah all involved have literally a week of knowing this was a likely scenario. Should be able to make a call by like 4 PM before people start traveling to the stadium.

Hope that wind keeps up and blows it out. Been a terrible week for air quality here.

12 and 13 yikes.

Hopefully they don't make this sellout crowd wait till 11 PM only to announce it'll be played tomorrow. Glad to see the defense getting a shakeup. Not sure why Hogan's leash is very long right now... only logical explanation is that he blackmailing O'Shea. Let's see some Strevy magic tonight. #forthew

Without the smoke, we would've had a heat wave this week.

Given his existing skill set at the time, his OC should have 100% tailored the game plan for him. We have seen results of that here.

Go Blue

It’s early still but the smoke outside is brutal right now. I’m not sure at all about this game being played tonight.

Given his comments about his time in Saskatchewan and how much he hated the offense there I'd agree. He knows how to play one way and that's all he wants to do.

The level of effectiveness in our WRs' blocking has dropped drastically; that is an absolute fact. Adams and Bailey, Drew, even healthier Demski and Schoen did it at a level you seldom see from WRs. I think you're really getting the crux of the issue with our offence, and imo offence in the cfl in general. I believe we made the decision to aim for familiarity, while being willing to settle for mediocrity. We didn't want to try and re invent the offence based around what zach can do now or what our wr room is good at now. We wanted to keep doing the same thing because its familiar. I think Zach is a huge part of that, too. I don't see in him the willingness to reinvent him self in order to extend his career or perform better as an offence. The catch is, at a 7-yard average. In the CFL, it is hard to succeed with less than 9 yards per completion. Less than 8 is doomed territory. But when you aim shorter, you complete more. But then you get stuck in that phase of pass completion on 2nd down, short of the needed distance, then punting it away. Our production on first down has been so bad that even getting 8-9 would be tough. I think the Ni approach is worth a look, I'd like to see kelly and the rooks get a little chance, then flip another spot for imp. But I would also like to see allen in game, I think that guy has tremendous potential. Woodbey was all over the field and very physical as well.

I hope you're right. The forecast is often wrong when it gets past 6 hrs or it seems. I'm just being pessimistic.

I don't find the AQ forecasts to be very reliable. There is a decent wind blowing in from the south and it's already cleared up a bit compared to earlier this morning. I'm not too worried about it.

Forecast still has air quality at 10 for game time....not looking good

It really isnt when u look at the roster that beat the bombers compared to the roster that lost to Ottawa

I would like to have seen Allen at safety. Now we back to starting 9 Canadians again.

Thank god. Been worried about how we don't have enough LBers

Who are most of those guys?

Spent time on the Texans PR last year and was waived by the Vikings yesterday.

We lost both games to these guys. They lost both games to Ottawa. Football can be confusing 😳

Yay Redblacks

PJ Walker would've been better off giving up the safety on that play instead of fighting for yards on a loss that gives Redblacks the ball on the 1.
