If you are posting on this site then you are not the kind of fan Mike is referring to. The casual fan isn't going to suddenly come back after one win. The brand is damaged. They need a winning season, not one win.
Well I can easily get to 13 forwards without Armia included. I also don't think he is as hot a commodity around the league as some might believe, and that being picked up on waivers is no guarantee.
Maybe he would. But there are only so many spots to go around. Would you rather send down a better player just because he is waiver exempt? Sure way to build a losing team.
If Collaros was playing, the kickoff would have bounced out of bounds.
If Collaros was playing, Underwood wouldn't have dropped a sure TD.
If Collaros was playing, Tasker wouldn't have fumbled the ball.
Quite frankly, if Collaros was playing, the Ticats would have won the Grey Cup already.
If they hadn't been so thoroughly picked apart by Ricky Ray in the east semi-final, that team might have survived another year. But they were and they didn't.
The CFL stats section is still seeing changes every day, I looked today and it is actually at the level of "passable" now. It will keep improving. It's too bad they chose to roll it out before it was ready.
I believe Saskatchewan will beat BC to get their first win. Also, the Bombers usually play Edmonton pretty tight at home. Not always but usually. I think first place after week 4 is not out of the realm of possibility.
I noticed Brendan Morgan and Derek Jones getting lots of time on defence in the second half. Not sure if there was an injury but Hawkins didn't seem to be out there too much as the game went on. If I'm not mistaken.
