Ottawa at Winnipeg. Ottawa's receivers are terrible. Who's Henry gonna throw the ball to? Bombers haven't won consecutive games since Swaggerville. They'll regress from the heights of week 1, but it'll be enough. Bombers by 3 in a yawner. BC at Montreal. Yikes. Where do you even start if you're Tom Higgins? BC by 14. Hamilton at Edmonton. I think Hamilton is better than they showed last week, but not good enough. Edmonton by 7. Sask at Toronto. The Argos D got eviscerated last week by the Bombers and I think Saskatchewan has a better O than Winnipeg. Ray will put up some points but it won't be enough. Riders by 10.

I wish that we'd had better games to showcase the league to the MMQB writers.

Saskatchewan is getting sacks rushing just four guys. Astonishing how bad the Hamilton OL is. This is reminding me of that game we played against Hamilton in 2010, when Simeon Rottier was at tackle and Hunt just ate him alive.

"stealth-like wind"

Wow, a horsecollar and an (uncalled) facemask on the same play. Nice tackling there Hamilton.

I'm calling it now, redblacks will win the East this year.

Butler making plays with his head ... for good and ill.

Riders have the best OL in the league and a running QB -- they'll be fine with whoever at RB. Picking the Riders today for that reason, although very intrigued to see how Collaros does when he's the man.

I've had good luck finding working streams thru this page: http://www.wiziwig.tv/competition.php?part=sports&competitionid=307&discipline=American%20Football

Ouch, a four-pick day from Kevin Glenn. I expected better from him than that.

I think that stream went dead. I'm over at http://cricfree.eu/tsn-1-live-stream.php now.

Eskimos #63 needs to at least make contact with the MLB for that screen pass to work.

Man, you'd figure that if the TE releases on a goal-line play, one of the three guys opposite him will know to drop into coverage...

I wonder if the officials aren't going to whistle anything that's remotely close to a fumble, given how all turnovers are being reviewed now.

Looks like an incomplete pass to me.

Adarius Bowman has looked good on those hitch screens, rumbling for good YAC.

Smith makes me think of Charlie "Wild Thing" Sheen from Major League. "We better teach this kid some control before he kills someone."

Kito Poblah with a catch! Glenn looks like same old efficient Glenn. I think he's gonna have a great year in QB-friendly BC Place.

Hopefully the back half of the doubleheader is more entertaining than that gawdawful first half. Can the Eskimos take a step forward? Will KG2 be his usual regular-season plug-and-play self?

Wow. That's the worst non-turnover punt return I've seen in awhile ... and an illegal block to boot. Calgary's playing down to Montreal's level.

It seems like Smith is throwing at receivers who are standing still, he's not hitting guys in motion.

Heavy wind + wild Smith = not much of a passing game from either team.

At game speed, I think it looked like Whitaker was bobbling the ball as he went down.

Troy Smith looking like Andre Ware out there .. he hasn't figured out how wide the CFL field is yet....

Weird to see Brandon Whitaker running between the tackles so much -- got so many bad memories of Calvillo feeding him screen passes and swing passes and sweeps that just killed us over the past few years. Smith looks awful, and he got really lucky on that ill-advised wide-side out into the wind.
