I think we all might just be getting used to it. On my drive to work I could clearly see the smoke in the distance. But I couldn't smell it at all. At the start of the fires it was like I could taste the smoke it was so pungent.

agreed...I just been out doing some work out in yard for a couple hours..live in south end of city...and to be honest I never even noticed anything, or could smell smoke....not sure if just accustomed to it and cant tell now...but I think it will be played...maybe delayed a bit at worse...but played

Woodbey for a bigger guy is uber athletic....He's be more than capable repping at safety...SAN...Corner along with Will....need to get these guys like him and Allen into lineup for the litmus test

I could see there being a delay to 8:30 or 9:00 but not an outright cancellation or postponement.

Fixed it for you.

And the rain this past Sunday was spot on.

Not a chance they'll call it at 4pm. This won't be changed until like 6:30 at the earliest.

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.
