Two for two. Now let's watch Hank tank in the cold and I'll be 3 for 3.
Glenn choked but so did his receivers. Stamps had opportunities to win this game...they can't ask for much more than that.
-
So much for predictions...first place teams basically rolled over and died after halftime.
Clearly it was the week off that doomed them.
LOL, hats off to your defensive scheme in the second half...clearly had Ray confused

Do the expectations/predictions change much now that R. McCune is going to miss the EF?
"The Toronto Argonauts will be without their defensive leader when they host Burris and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Rogers Centre. Middle linebacker Robert McCune, whose 99 tackles were second-most in the CFL this season, won't play due because of a shoulder injury."

That could be a HUGE factor if the Argos make it to the GC. You obviously want your #1 MLB against Cornish and the Calgary OL.

my QB is 8-4 in the postseason... theirs notsomuch. no Kackert... but Ray still has Owens, Durie, Inman, Chiles and Bryant...
i'm on pins and needles waiting for this. big crowd (which will have a noisy TiCat contingent that will be surely called "half the crowd" by the media who tries to downplay the CFL in this city). will be such a mess downtown (Santa parade, raptors across the street) that i bet that thousands won't be in their seats until well after kickoff.
Argos v Stamps after 2 convincing finals victories.
Tell you what...I don't care what anyone says...a good time can be had at an Argos game.

Interesting to see intensity level of TOR who hasnt played a meaningful game in almost a month.
My theory is...that this theory has been over-emphasized
First place teams make it to the GC more often than not. Team earn the first place berth and get to play several meaningless game because they are GOOD TEAMS
People spent years convincing themselves the Als would choke in the East final...but the Als were usually in the GC when they finished first

Austin, Burris, Cornish….do you see a trend here?
Toronto

Hamilton

Calgary

I don't think Calgary will let themselves be out-coached by Toronto again.
I think the GC will come down to Ray > Glenn
you mean Cornish vs. the toronto defense right? That's what did them in last year, they couldn't establish the running game.
Outdoor game or not...you have to at least be a threat with the passing game. IMO Ray is the better cold weather QB.

Ok, that was strike one...
-
This league is amazing. Hang in there all season...get some talent back from the NFL...
And go on a playoff run...
-
Really impressed with Sutton.
x2. He runs with a low centre of gravity that makes him bloody hard to bring down.
Pathetic that Hammy gets a TD on that lame duck throw to Gable...full credit to him though
Good strategy by the Als at the end. One shot at the endzone to try for the win, then kick the FG to tie it up.
-
That single by Dales looms large...Hammy has to score a major here...

East:
It doesn't matter who wins today...Ray and the Argos will win next Sunday
Argos win the East
West:
The Riders should win today, but my gut says B.C. Sheets has played well against B.C. but with Lulay back Lions > Riders. Durant does not play well in the playoffs.
It's hard to predict next weekend. Calgary has a good all around team, but this will come down to how well Glenn plays
Call me crazy...but BC wins the West
Grey Cup
Argos. Even if it's vs. Calgary, I think Toronto wins it again. Ray is the best QB in the playoffs, and he has played well in bad weather.
-
My thoughts so far: neither team will beat RR and the Boatmen next week.
-
What if they hire Khari as oc and anyone new as DC and they retain Burke as hc.
They bring in Collaros and some o line help.
Do you think the team could do well?
Could the players respond or change there attitude and actually excel.
Do you think that it is at all plausible that the reason this team sucked was all on Joe Mack and lack of qb.
Would you have any hope with Burke as hc.
no
-
My first reaction is that Khari's lack of HC experience would be a liability, but with good, experienced assistant coaches, it might be all that bad. Khari has banked a lot of goodwill here in the 'Peg and is both intelligent and presents himself well. So, maybe....
They 'seemed' to apply that logic when they hired Burke, Lapolice, Kelly, et. al.
-
So...we're into the last week of the season...none of the games matter any more...
The East is set, none of the teams will change position, win or lose
The West is closer, but Saskatchewan holds the tie breaker against BC. Even if they both finish 11 - 7 (which is possible) play off positioning will not change.
Meanwhile in Winnipeg: the end has come...at last.
-
Consider all the coaches and GM's they've been paying not to coach. They've been over spending with poor results
-
If I could stand to watch this game again I'd take a closer look at Hall because my impression is he didn't move much laterally during the game, he just stood directly behind center and completed pass after pass while the Argos teed off on his ribs and jaw.
Not there are too many other comparisons between the two...but that's the style Dinwiddie always played. Stand like a statue and take the hits.
-
Good stuff. I've noticed similar things but never took the time to analyze it like that.
-
On the plays where we had more protection than blockers...was it failure to recognize and react to stunts or was the OL just physically getting beat?

GDT: 101st Grey Cup

Concur. The Argos were the only Eastern team that could make this a half decent GC.
