  1. Will Calgary become a "Dynasty"?

    We know what Burris can do when he's on - plus he has a great receiving corps. The X factor here could be Mark Nelson, maybe he's got some new pressure packages that the Stamps haven't seen. BLM is literally sitting on his couch back there. 

    Win or lose for Ottawa - I stand by this assessment.

    there's plenty of to be optimistic about.  If you factor in some of the injuries we suffered early in the year, especially on the Oline, and running with Willy at the time, that 1-4 start could have easily been better, and would not have required a big win streak (though always welcomed).  

    If there is any point to focus on, as far as what we can be and can continue to improve on going into 2017 is the home and home with BC and the 3rd match in the playoffs.   Yes we gave the game away in the WSF, but the fact we were in a position to win all game,  and that close to a 3 game sweep of one of the better teams in the league, the future is bright.  

    I my opinion the concerns are more about not using the talent at their disposal. Three Americans on the OL should have been a given right from the start of the season.

    I thought that I had read that the city is bringing in 10 000 refugees from Africa every year which wouldn't bring much money and I am to assume that they have no interest in the CFL.  

    Just doing the old eye check from going around town I assume the population growth is mostly  folks from Philippines,  India and Africa.   And based on my experiences of going to the games.... they don't seem to like going to the CFL games.  

    Now if we immigrated a bunch of folks from Russia and change the Rum hut to a Vodka hut... I would think they would see a massive increase in ticket sales :)  

    Plenty of Russian Mennonites moving into the Bible Belt - big families too - may not even need a vodka hut...

    How dare you inject reality into this!! The bottom line: coaches are hired and paid to make the right decisions. O'Shea made the decision which failed and cost the team the game and the season. Richie is responsible for the mistakes of his charges, and so is O'Shea.

    And we don't get to have nice things

    The problem is more of the blame being placed. Whether it is 60 million people who are terrible, or (as Samantha Bee on Full Frontal explains it) all white men at fault, it does seem that the left are not yet willing to take a good hard look at why they lost, who voted against them and what they are going to need to do to address it in 4 years. Right now the left are acting like children after a spanking. Either they grow up and look at reality or it will be 8 years of Trump.

    Sort of like what the Canadian Conservatives need to be doing right now (and, from the looks of the leadership contenders, failing at).

    It's idiotic to demonize your opponent at this point in time. It will continue to drive moderates away. And this goes both ways.

    Good post. Canadian Conservatives are doomed for a while. They have leadership candidates who want to reopen the abortion debate - somehow they missed 2016 memo - it must have stayed on Harper's desk

    I think Hamilton has a good chance of beating Edmonton. Edmonton was not able to get consistent pressure on Collaros during the regular season and Hammy has not been turning the ball over of late. With Hamilton mostly healthy, this could be an offensive shootout.

    1 division 

    Calgary BC get byes 

    Winnipeg vs Hamilton in Winnipeg. 

    Edmonton vs Ottawa in Edmonton 

    Or 

    Calgary vs Hamilton 

    BC vs Ottawa .

    Winnipeg vs Edmonton 

    It just makes more sense 

    Please explain how option 2 would work in the second round of the playoffs...

    I am NOT a Trump supporter, but I love seeing the media and the polls proven so horribly wrong. If you look all the way down to the basic reason why Trump won, there are two possibilities:


    1. They are incompetent and did not factor in all the variables

    2. They wanted Clinton to win and tried to manipulate voters by posting inaccurate results

    Quite frankly, they got what they deserved - both scenarios leave them with egg on their face. The voters of America sent them a strong message. Perhaps this can be a small start towards unbiased reporting, if such a thing is even possible anymore.
