  1. There've been some blood curdling years... no doubt.
  2. Imagine having your dynasty broken by the runt of the litter who then goes 16-2 as an encore...
  3. As ever, you have a short memory. Go back to the Champions @ Bombers GDT and have a read thru of what a B- Argo roster selection and a vanilla playbook did at IGF. Edit: and maybe you aren't afraid of losing to the Argonauts (and good for you if so) but go back to the threads of November 21, 2022 to see what sort of psychic wound a GC loss can inflict on the unprepared. It ain't nothing. My nine year old self still recalls the sting.
  4. It's Halloween... this is the day to try hexxing us! True. But do go on about how awful we are. Those comments will likely never ever come back to haunt you or any others who want to shittalk a 16-2 team who you may see in a few weeks.
  5. Cling to that while you can, but I guess we'll see if that's true or not after Finals weekend. Edmonton didn't win theirs.
  6. I would never say that it is a given. King of the glass-half-empty pessimists that I am. Only that on the day that either of Montreal or Hamilton show up to BMO with their best team playing their best game, the Argos are still solid favorites and rightly so.
  7. Yeah, our starting field position has been better than our opposition's for 18 straight games. I have no idea how to check if that's ever been done before, but it seems like such an anomaly. Easy to put all of that on Leake's level of play (and he has been outstanding), but credit has to be shared with having the best kickoff guy (Bede), the two best punters (Bede and Haggerty) and our defence (of course). As game plans go, it works pretty good.
  8. Addae got in there! Good for him. Thought it fell into Ungerers hands watching it in real time.
  9. I actually was talking with a guy I tailgate with today about this. After kicking it around awhile we both sort of felt that both Winnipeg and Toronto really ought to get there... But the 4 "other" teams are actually pretty significant banana skins. Any given Saturday is real. Yeah. Same as he ever was. Flatters to deceive with unworldly measureables... But targeted twice, one catch. Has to do better than 50% to be in our gameday squad when healthy. (Like he was there)
  10. Popular sentiment around here. Almost as popular as "they'll get upset in the East Final". We'll see.
  11. Genuinely disappointed in MBB that this didn't turn into more of a thing.
  12. See, I'd wondered if Milanovich and Shivers may have a reunion.
  13. That's wild. Is it the temperature or the change in pressure?
  14. I'd reflexively disagree since the recent trend seem to be hiring an OC or QB coach who has a pleasing-to-the-eye offensive style and then hiring a defensive coordinator... but Saskatchewan and O'Day can (and likely will) go do whatever.
  15. To be clear, he was and is outstanding. Just not in my opinion, the most outstanding.
  16. Saying this before I add context: I picked Brady Oliveira as MOP. But: you can't blame Kelly for his "lack" of flashy stats. We start every drive at midfield. We've won the starting field position battle for a stupifying 17 straight games. We have the best kickoff, 2 best punters and best returner. Kelly doesn't even put together "drives" so much as he comes out at midfield, makes a 35 yard throw and then we run it in. Hell, we're usually up by two scores so we don't even pass in the second half but for 2nd and longs.
