I know 2 things about Ryan Dinwiddie: He will **** the bed as a QB in the Grey Cup. Is a moron.

Just looked at Ticketmaster, looks like it's going to be another sellout

Yup, you kinda feel bad for a guy like Dyce - probably not cut out to be a HC but a guy you can root for at least. Dinwiddie is not one of those guys...

It was fantastic for Kelowna. Everyone I know who went had a great time. The Lions even hosted a "Canada-Morocco viewing party before their second game. We need more Domans in this country owning CFL franchises and less of whatever is going on in Calgary and Toronto.

Fajardo doing his little spin move, straight into a sack, has to be one of my favorite things to watch.

Excellent game day weather, potential sold out crowd, defense needs to be on its A game, Argos crowd may be a problem......LETS ******* GO!!!!!

what’s really sad is we are hamstringing our self with the wr roster, we aren’t using the pieces we have worth a damn, and they aren’t helping us as unit with the game plan. It’s a comprehensive failure on all sides when it comes to the passing game. Except qbing, which oddly has been good over all. We should be making use of nield and demski in the intermediate range especially at seams, white should be taking the top off the D, while pookie and demski should do the catch and run stuff. Mix in mci in catch and run game along with putting singer on the ar and you’re cooking with gas. I hope that brown jives a lot better with tc tonight.

This game has a bunch of interesting stats. Toronto is the top offence in the league, and is only matched by its terrible D. Here is where I think we will see the game decided. Toronto is the best Run D in the league. They are also the best team at avg yards on first down gained, scoring off turnovers, and have the most explosion plays on Off. Neither team is great on D with generating pressure, TOP on both sides of the ball, red-zone %, or winning the turnover battle. This game could come down to the Argos' ability to convert in the red zone, our ability to prevent big plays from scoring, and the Argos' ability to score off turnovers. If we win points off turnovers and red zone conversion rate, we likely win the game. We actually have a decent advantage in QBR differential as well. On a non-statistical point, I would love for Brown to put on a show and tear the Argos up, making Dinwiddie look all the more dumb, especially with the deep ball.

I sure wouldn't be sad to see Dru Brown do to the Argos defense what VAJ did to them.

He's been doing this for a while now - he just seems like such an absolute douchebag. When Toronto started the season 0-3 last year, he threatened to cut players. He did not so it was an empty threat. Threw some of his Argo coaches under the bus when the team was given poor grades by the players. Said there was a reason he didn't bring more coaches with him to Ottawa. Dru Brown was a distraction and has a weak arm for requesting his release after not getting a chance to compete for the starting role. Punter will be cut if he misses a tackle again. Claimed refs were blowing calls when they were actually correct. Dinwiddie had no clue that an elbow touching the ground is down by contact, thought it was the same an putting your hand down to keep you up. Also didn't seem to know a player who is forced out of bounds is eligible to rejoin the play. He needs to take a look in the mirror and take some responsibility for where his team is at.

I know Dru had his issues staying on the field in Ottawa but what was Dinwiddie thinking. I mean good for us but I hate seeing any team in this league being winless and without a viable QB (only exception to that would be the the Riders because .. F the Riders).

Looks like about 80 tickets left. Of course it will be announced as a sell-out. They could give any remaining tickets away to first responders.

I new Wade would buy those last 1,000 unsold tickets. :)

Dru Brown having a great game tonight would really rub salt in Dinwiddie's wounds... Hopefully this is his karmic punishment and we reap the benefits

Yeah you can really see the contrast there. Doman used the inconvenience as a chance to grow the league in BC and turned it into something special. MLSE completely dumped on the Argos and the CFL yet again. With a little bit of creativity and what would amount to a drop in the bucket for a corporation like Rogers, they could have played a couple of games in London and done something similar. Just a wasted opportunity to grow the league and the Argos fanbase outside of the GTA.

Hope Dru Brown plays well.

I got a real bad feeling Kelly is going to eat us alive tomorrow His weaknesses do not play to our strengths whatsoever and if I woke up Saturday morning and you told me Kevin Mital finished the game with 26 catches for 212 yards, I wouldn’t doubt it for a second.

Bedard is loving this.

Watching that team implode last night, I'm sure he's glad he's back with the Bombers I was expecting a much bigger crowd than that at CWS. Jjust a sad situation in both Calgary & Edmonton.

The best was when Tom Canada was signed the same day Tom Europe was released. The transactions were even mentioned in Sports Illustrated.

Youth sports in general are getting more and more expensive and its a shame.

Yup..I have no clue what they trying to accomplish..or if they even have a real idea We aren't using what we have effectively and we are actually not even allowing for the best options to play And what happened to Neild since game 1...you'd be hard pressed to even tell if hes even played of late

The **** he does....

Yeah our group as it is constructed currently isnt helping alot

Doman just has to figure out how to run a football team now... And make some revenue.

was it white running straight down the field while the ball almost hit him in the back of the head that makes you say that? The hot routes this year have been hot garbage. That's essentially how Edm won that game. Blitz the hell out of Collaros cause no one was going to read it properly and give him a quick target.

My thinking is JM is showing real well in practice that he can’t translate fully into a game situation, ie hall of famer practice player.

I'm sure Brown will play fine. And have no worries of him not having the full package down or being at a disadvantage of any kind. Dude's been around long enough now...started games in 2 organizations...and is familiar with 80 percent of his offence here...counting coaches/oc... also giys like Demski/White/Neild and Pokey know where to go of script or to beat a blitz...as does Brown...It will be seemsless If anything I bet we have more sustained drives and win the T,O,P aspect as he isn't a sitting duck in the pocket, and doesn't panic like ZC does now...so will prob extend drives with just the fact he can move around/escape and get 1st downs with his legs consistently if need be...ZC cant

I reckon he'll get his chance to. We'd be nuts to line up any way other than planning to run-blitz Oliveira to heck and gone. Meanwhile, we'll have either an untested (albeit promising) 'ute at safety or a player we just days ago grabbed off waiver from Montreal (excellent pedigree, but new to playing Safety, I think) as well as having a stand-in at WIL. So I'd say Dru is going to have a free shot at being a hero and if he loses the race to 35 points, well then he won't be blamed for a loss since he was a fill in and the win wasn't guaranteed. For your D, the book on Kelly seems to be to cover deep and just test his patience until he finally is too tempted forces it into places where he can get picked. He isn't the Harris/Fajardo sort who'll take all of the free yards underneath all day and be glad for them, he wants to get his big-boy arm going and play rifleman.

He’s complete opposite of who they had in place last year.

The thing that confuses me about Dinwiddie, is he'll absolutely throw players under the bus to the media. Like last week with his punter and the bad tackle attempt or other defenders who he just straight up said he would cut if they did whatever they did wrong again...but he'll defend a guy like Maier who repeatedly makes bad decisions when throwing the ball. Getting pissed at a guy who's bad at something he isn't really supposed to be doing (Punter having to tackle...I know...they all have to do it at some point but they aren't known for doing it well) and then not blinking an eye at a guy who is bad at doing the job he is supposed to do.

Yep, the club confirmed they are wearing the white jerseys.

If it's not a sellout, just put an asterisk beside it - Argos home game so should not count as part of the streak. 😆 It will still be the best crowd they've had in years!

Over 31,000 sold... They'll make sure the rest are "sold"... Weather looks tremendous. Fans deserve a big win... Here's hoping Dru can put some points up and the D can hold the sex pest in check...

That'll be fun to watch develop, won't it?

i’m really interested to see how he does in this game. Dare to dream. I worry about brown though too with bryant on the blind side

Is it crazy to dream that this is the game that Dru shines and then wins the starting job and becomes the guy for us for the next many years?

I disagree and here's why.... we have drafted Canadians high at linebacker and receivers we have not. We have some blue chip Canadians at linebacker but not at receiver.... thisnis big picture thinking.... use your Canadians at linebacker where you've spent your draft capital and use Americans at receiver. This is big picture roster usage thinking.

FWIW:

My key to the game is to get Brady going early and take the pressure off Dru. Easier said then done, but the longer the Bombers have the ball the less Kelly has it.

YTup...and hope he does as he was a cheap option for Fantasy ...made it easy to nab Rankin and Philpot lol

Yup...not sure what all went on there..or what he saw/felt in his qb stable but wrong move...our gain tho I sure there gonna be a lot of league chatter if Brown lights it up today..or just looks like a legit #1 which i dont doubt I bet we see some nice intermediate and deeper throws too witj nice touch to basically silence the crap Dimwit said about no ability to push ball down field..Brown showed here he had great touch in the intermediate and beyond..prob better than zc can now as well

I said that's the look of a guy who has regrets

They actually a pretty good team...They are young and have legit talent...Just need to learn how to win now, and what not fall apart when it matters, but they getting it...a young team learning on the fly They have overall more talent than us...and its younger...

Wasn't it Dru who asked for his release? He'd be the starter in Ottawa by now if he hadn't.

You bet. Idr the last time we had 2 top tier young qbs like this with such a good floor and ceiling.

The Elks have some decent talent...they will make noise this year

Just to be my usual annoying self to keep on this no move clause, Dylan Larkin is a perfect example of the many things wrong in having it in the first place.

Not to mention alienating the working class
