They need it. Primadonnas....all of them. No wonder Harris's suspect work ethic of recent years is a seamless fit there.

They suck. Sub .500 and their defence is the 3rd worst in the league. They have played the Argos 4 times for sure but one could argue that is big reason why the Argos may be over rated. Yea....Hammy beat us...barely....in a game we were determined to lose. We didn't even try protect the rock. I chalk that one up to us beating ourselves really. I get you would love to see a bigger DL rotation but the mental gymnastics of trying to suggest that the 3rd place team in the East....THE EAST....is a team we should envy is just overstating your argument to the nth degree, Hey Hamilton is trying hard out there....but their O sucks and their defence is not helping them much.

It's not country. It's pop singers in cowboy boots. Country music used to have a place. Hurting tunes while drinking whiskey straight because something bad happened. That was it's niche. Then they tried to make it happy party music....and it sucks.

I quite frankly blame the Argos for not wanting to destroy their team confidence by dressing their whole lineup and then getting shellacked on Friday in Winnipeg. Could set them into a tailspin. It happens after a bad beatdown. They "rest" a bunch of guys and give themselves the mental out for the loss they were inevitably going to sustain.

Bad example. Look at the Cats win/loss record. I do not dare to dream anything Ticat related right now. That being said they do have an impressive lineup of DL....that is doing diddly squat for them.

Actually there is no evidence that suggests it is not true. The evidence will be available Saturday.

He was just the head of the snake. It runs deep. They've been yucking it up this year because they are winning. They are one bad beat down away from a melt down.

I can't think of a fan in bigger denial than this. Your franchise QB is a headcase of epic proportion all on his own. Only a matter of time before he does something truly dumb. Not to mention guys like Edwards etc. Just ass clowns really.

Sure...Urban was ok if you like country...but last year was AWFUL. The 3rd Q interview was scary bad tho. Asking a guy who clearly had never watched a pro football game before to take over play by play.....jeez louise.

Sucks.

Anything....and I mean anything....would be better than the garbage they rolled out for the half time show last year. Truly embarrassing.

Last year we dressed 6 guys in the Grey Cup and 7 DL in the WF. I get that Adams was not very good, but Wilcotts is where exactly now? Hansen injury all season has made us run lean, but he's back now...and that's a big add.

Keep thinking that. The playoffs are a funny beast. I know you haven't seen enough games with your team as the favorite, but cold weather and players of suspect character do not mesh well.....and yeah...I said it...I think you guys have a locker room with a lot of me-first guys.

We traded Wilcots but picked up a DL from Saskatchewan. My evidence is the historical depth charts. I went back through all of them for the past 4 seasons. In 2019 and 2021 we dressed 8 DL through the playoffs and final few games, in 2022 we dressed primarily 7 through the final few weeks.

Not an apt comparison as they are not division rivals. EDIT: Glad you find that funny Bluto....but that is absolutely how sports works.

Not to mention 3 byes in the first 10 games. We will find out who the Argos really are when they play us....and they knew that....and are not going to let us shellack their starters without a built in excuse. What surprises me the most is that the entirety of the Argo fan base came here to post.

History tells us that MOS will make changes and roster tweaks. Depth charts from the past 4 years suggest that he changes up his roster composition down the stretch. Likes to get bigger bodies onto the roster.

That is MOS's MO over the past several seasons. He goes lean on the DL until the final third of the season and then ramps up the numbers down the stretch.

Yep, and being in the East they get the full slate against Hamilton, Ottawa, and Montreal every year. Just a joke of a schedule really in comparison to any of the Western teams.

The Argos biggest problem is that they are in Toronto. Just a wannabe NFL town.

Argos have had the softest schedule in the CFL this year....BY FAR...resting guys...lmao. Sorry, but until you have played the Bombers you have not faced the CFL's measuring stick. 12-1...beating up on the Ottawa's and Hamilton's of the CFL. If the Argos were in the West they are behind the Bombers and Lions in the standings.

When an existing player gets an extra 550k in salary the next year it will have impact on the rest of the roster. It just stands to reason.

All good. I know how these merged threads work and that you were not responding to me but to PB.

The problem I have with our D is gassed is argument is that in the last 2 losses it's the 1Q when the majority of the scoring against our D occurred. We only gave up 7 points to Hammy in the 2nd half.....none in the 4Q. Does a gassed D suddenly get better as the game goes on? I get that at times the D has looked gassed this season, but I am not sure it is a main factor in any loss except for the Ottawa game. Also, the D being gassed tends to coincide with stretches of games that our O is simply not moving the ball. I agree that we need a beefier DL rotation, especially down the stretch, and that it can be problematic. It is not the reason we lost to Hamilton or the LDC though. It was just one of a few problems that the Bombers need to iron out. The main one being coming out and actually showing up ready to match our opponents intensity EVERY game.

This time of the year, seasons are on the line. Jobs are on the line. Can't show up like it's late June.
