TBURGESS

The 2 points is all that matters. Keeps us tied for first in the West and sets up the biggest game of the year (so far) next week against BC. Great reverse return followed by not so great reverse return. Shows how quickly Toronto can adjust on the fly. We started great with a TD drive, then had to settle for FG's. We proved we could beat Toronto with their 2nd string QB, third string RB and 3 starters missing from the defence. Actually, they were still in the lead with their 2nd string QB et al, so we didn't even prove that. Note that Calgary beat them without their starting QB too & they suck this year. Toronto proved that they can hang with us even with a bunch of backups in.

If that's what I meant, then that's what I would have typed.

If we don't beat them when they are resting that much talent, we're in deep trouble.

It's disappointing that the Argo's aren't fielding the best team they can. Turns a game I've been waiting for all season into a glorified pre-season game.

I've been waiting for this game since the schedule came out. Too bad it doesn't mean anything to Toronto.

We need to play the full 60 minutes to win & we didn't do that again yesterday. I'm the biggest Collaros fan, but he hasn't looked right for about half of the season & it started before the hit that took him out. Too many picks. Gotta fix that. We need an upgrade at returner. Waiting for Grant will cost us. Biggie is on the back end of his career. Still a decent MLB who can cover side to side, but not the exceptional MLB he used to be. It's looking like our dominant days are coming to an end. Toronto has caught up and BC's not too far behind.

You can't take players salaries, divide them by the number of games, and apply that to our savings. You have to subtract the bonuses first. Lawler for example got a $125K signing bonus so his absence saved the team about $42K. - https://3downnation.com/2023/07/20/winnipeg-blue-bombers-flex-late-on-winless-edmonton-elks-12-other-thoughts/#:~:text=It should be noted that,for each regular season game.

Reminds me of last week doncha know.

Horrible first half except the goal line stand. Great second half with a bunch of lead changes and big plays. Can we have a moment of silence for the REDBLACKs? They are done.

That's people in glass houses shouldn't stow thrones dontcha know.

If they can keep Brady in check & their D line can provide pressure like in the first two games, I don't see us hanging 50 on them. I do see us winning by more than a TD though.

Tburg enters the chat... Does MOS know more than any of us? Yup. Does that mean he is perfect or above question? Nope. Do most folks think that MOS is making roster mistakes? Yup. Does that mean they want him fired? Nope. Tburg leaves the chat

Argo's are absolutely paying Kelly for what they expect him to do, not what he has done. Personally, I think it's an overpay, but time will tell.

I'd like it if they stopped showing any family in the crowd. I'd also like it if they stopped interviewing ex players etc. while the game is going on.

No one is fretting about your mindset. You're entitled to have any mindset that you want to. That entitlement ends with you though. For example: I choose to be positive is good. I feel sorry for everyone who doesn't choose to be positive is bad.

You get to start an other American elsewhere though. If the Cdn QB goes down & the backup QB is American, then you can change out any US starter for a Cdn player. Note that it's not a 1 to 1 change. You could change out receiver 1 on play one and a different player on play 2 etc.. You just have to keep the new ratio straight going forward.

It's not the least bit exhausting nor depressing to look at things positively, negatively or realistically. It's just something that positrons say when they don't have facts on their side. It's like religions. If you don't have facts, argue the other person must be wrong anyway.

CBA - Section 23 -

A QB is counted as a Canadian if they start. Otherwise they are counted at QB.

Edmonton is now 1 game back of Calgary and Ottawa making the back to back series coming up huge games.

That's only for drafted players.
