Jordan Yantz for QB!!

Did you not include Heenan and Jones b/c you are just assuming they will resign in Sask/Cgy?

I would love to see at least 2 or 3 new starting Canadians.... which I think is attainable via the draft, free agency, or even NFL "cast-offs"

Why must you continually embarrass yourself by bringing stats and logic into arguments... this is no place for that!

Sounding more and more like the Eskies Depth might be 1) Nichols 2) White 3) some guy named Matt Scott or Goltz??... wonder if Reilly will dress as the #3...

Didn't the same thing happen last year with Alex Hall?? Played in the east for 14 (ish) games and was listed as a west division all-star... essentially based on all the stats he compiled in the east...

Is a quote from someone??? Cuz it's just plain wrong... Cutler, Forte, Bennett, Marshall, Jeffery.... they have some of the best offensive weapons in the NFL... Defence is a different story though... So,how am I wrong then? It always comes down to talent. Whether it's on both sides of the ball or in just one aspect of the team. They have plenty of talent on offense but they're not getting it done... that's on coaching... it's pretty clear you are right about the defense...

Do they still play playoff games in The Big O?.... Better question... does that stadium still exist?

I agree that BC has as good a chance as Ham or Mtl of representing the East... but not as favourable as it looked early in the year... I think BC beats Mtl but then loses to Hamilton...

I'm not on the "Milo coming here to be OC" bandwagon... but if I were an Argos fan, this article would do nothing in inspire confidence that he'll definitely be back...

IF we beat BC we would have had a chance... IF we beat Sask once we would have had a chance... IF we beat Hamilton on 1st and goal from the 3 we would have had a chance... But then again all those things could happen and.... IF we don't win last second against Mtl... IF we don't win last second against Ham... IF we don't get the game handed to us in the snow-bowl against Calgary... then we're in the exact same situation... no use in discussing woulda/coulda/shouldas... the season went the way it did, revisionist history doesn't change that...

I think I have to agree that they got quite a bit... they will just need some time to develop... IMO the 2014 Redblacks are much better than 2013 Bombers were... and we didn't get any "help"

Is a quote from someone??? Cuz it's just plain wrong... Cutler, Forte, Bennett, Marshall, Jeffery.... they have some of the best offensive weapons in the NFL... Defence is a different story though...

I guess this hasn't been mentioned yet but goes without saying... with the TO win we pick #2, #11, #20 etc...

I would be quite shocked if Campbell is fired... you NEED to give a HC of an expansion team AT LEAST 2 years... I know they expected better than 2-3 wins but not even the most optimistic Ottawa homer expected a playoff berth in year 1...

IMO if Etch mixed up some "conventional" sets along with his "unconventional" approach the defense could work quite well... Have a base 4-3 on running downs then throw an "unconventional" look on 2nd and long... or whatever, someone smarter than me can figure it out... mixing it up could go a long way

Also, I think Sask beats Edm.... Edm has their #2 spot locked in and they know there's a chance they play Sask again next week... so I think they come out with a very vanilla game plan... something to keep the guys in rhythm, but not enough to show if they have any tricks up their sleeves...

This is actually very interesting... it's extremely rare that a team could finish anywhere from first in the division to completely out of the playoffs... should make for some fun watching As for the west... Fake Mark Cohon said it best in a tweet earlier in the week... 2 teams trying to lose vs 2 teams in playoff spots likely resting some starters...

I believe they automatically become FAs once the season ends... maybe the team made the decision to release them immediately instead of doing so after the season "officially" ends... This just seems peculiar because of the timing... I think that's what gets people worked up... not necessarily the loss of Kyle Norris... you would think there would be some mandate that would prevent these kinds of things from happening... I mean Ottawa's season is done but they still have a game to play... why can't someone pluck from their PR right now (rhetorical question)??

Sounds like a pretty impressive kid...

I said early in the year that Montreal looked to be a QB away from being a good team... now I don't think Crompton is a future HOFer or anything... but he manages the game well, doesn't turn the ball over, has a decent arm.... just what that team needs to make a run...

I would say Calgary... my dad was from Cgy and he used to cheer for them when the Bombers were out...So I'll cheer for them when the Bombers are out too... but trust me, as soon as they line up against the Blue and Gold... this "second favourite" business goes far out the window!

Not quite fast enough to be a safety, not big enough to play LB. Doesn't seem the like the body type that fits in to any typical NFL mold. Shame for him, he's a legitimate talent. Safety would be his only shot in the NFL... unless he can somehow manage to put on 35-40 pounds of muscle.... I believe he was a safety in college??

Just for fun I'll go... Edmonton 28 Hamilton 20 MVP Mike Reilly MOC Hugh O'Neill (mostly beard-related)

Whoever has the tie-break btwn those two... by my research: W3 BC 26 Sask 13 = BC+13 W9 BC 16 Sask 20 = BC+9 So I believe Sask would cross-over unless div record is the tie breaker... in which case: BC 4-5 vs West Sask 4-5 vs West and both play a west opponent this week... so I guess it still be Sask that crosses if they both win/both lose...
