...................and there biggest gaffe Suitor telling all of Canada that the Hail Mary play was planned to get the TD the way it did
despite being pissed off about the play… I was happy to hear on the live call Dustin say “a lucky bounce and it falls to Mcinnis” or something to that effect

Fajardo or not, this won't be easy. Montreal D feasted on us this year. Buck needs to have some tricks up his sleeve. Hopefully he opens up the playbook.
“Feasted” would be a strong characterization… yes they had 2 pick sixes in the last meeting… but our O also put up 6 TDs against them in that game…
as others have mentioned… the key to winning this game is playing clean on offense and don’t let their defense/ST beat us

I'd call it a learning experience for Dinwiddie and Kelly, I expect that next year they wont lay an egg.
6 hours ago, WinnipegGordo said:Will the Argos be able to field as good as a lineup? Wont Kelly be making 400k more than this season?
This is exactly what I was thinking too… if you’re the Argo fan the concern is that Kelly failed miserably with a supremely talented team around him… next year he needs to carry this team… can he do it or will his contract become a major anchor?

Friends offered the Theory that Brady was bagged, exhausted, but not injured, after the first half. End of game he had 21 carries, 3 targets, 2 receptions, 124 total yards, mostly in the first half, aàplus the blocking assignments, guy was a one man army.
and that Prukop shot gun snap play at the 3 was…stupid.
If you’re throwing in prukop from the three… just bring in the jumbo package and go short yardage… I’m 100% convinced they would’ve scored on two attempts, if not one
either that or leave the regular offense out… no need for overthinking that

just fine....or epic....what would you rather have?
Haha, yes epic would be nice… but obviously they were better than “just fine” last night.

Some of concerns about the offence and roster management remain.
Offense yes… we need a better performance from them next week… but the roster complaints generally revolved around why Jackson is playing when we could be using that DA to bolster the D… I’m thinking the D was just fine last night

yeah my thoughts at Haba goes in without Bighill.
Honestly I'm not really worried about missing Bighill. Clements and Cole are doing well out there and Bighill is showing his age.
Haba would be nice… I’m thinking Rose will check in for Biggie... but I guess in terms of opponent, more D-line might be the better strategic play

Every one ready to see the marine on the gdr? I’m mentally prepared for a full on mos roster management moment. No fox, Parker, back up cover db, back up imp dl, ni wr, oh I’m gonna be sick. Nope im ready im ready.
I get and agree with your point... but I can't imagine we make a significant roster change after using a similar weekly lineup in a 14-4 season... To my limited knowledge, a Canadian FB with the extra DA on defense seems to make way more sense... but I don't see it happening and I'll have to concede to the experts and hope they are right.
-
I mean, any given Sunday (Saturday) and all.... but I just don't see any way Montreal wins this game... or there are multiple things that need to happen... (1) Toronto has to be really rusty.... (2) Mtl needs to get an early lead... (3) Mtl needs to defend the lead with run game (including Fajardo scrambles) and defense... should be an easy W for the Argos.

It was Claybrooks decision to step away from the CFL, he took the payout from the Lions and went into business for himself, I believe he's invested in a restaurant and a cleaning business in Calgary.
good to know... it was the OP's suggestion that he was out of the league because no one wanted him... I didn't see it that way

And has been consistently one of the most intelligent, well spoken and knowledgeable posters on CFL message boards going back to the early days of OB.com. He's more than earned my trust and respect.
I agree with you and I trust his football knowledge more than most here... but he, himself, said it was purely speculation... where is that speculation coming from?... gut feeling?... if there was any smoke to this, someone from the media would've said something by now... I'm not saying it won't happen... it just feels like nothing right now

The cat's will never have a winner with this guy at the helm.....in 2 positions....The 'caretaker' is blind if he thinks there's ever going to be success with Steinauer....The saying that 'nice guys finish last' is never more truer, when you have Orlando in a CFL conversation
maybe Green Day will play it at half time and dedicate it to Coach O...
On 2023-11-07 at 12:20 PM, wbbfan said:Perfect example. Burke was maybe the most decorated and successful dc of his era. One fail as a hc and done. Devone claybrooks is another excellent dc who crashed and burned as a hc and was never heard from again.
Chris jones imo is a failed hc up jumped dc.I think it's a little soon to say he'll never be heard from again... it's only been two years and he's only 46 years old... If any team is looking for a DC next year, he'll definitely be on the list.

If he was my pick for QB all-star (he isn't, Collaros had a better year), that's not the argument that I'd have used to justify it. Sure, he's the QB of a historically good team, but it's the "valuable" argument that make him look best. And 1 for 1, I don't think there's a guy in the league I'd feel happy to swap him for.
I don't totally disagree with the selection... I just thought the justification was a joke... and assuming his contract didn't carry over (bc that would obviously effect the roster composition)... the Argos would be an even better team with Collaros as QB

I hope its -25C and the leos huddle around that stupid space heater while our boys are out there in sleeves.
I get your point but at some point it gets so cold, it levels out... at -25 both teams will be uncomfortable... like we saw in 2021 against Sask... game was closer than it should've been because of the cold...
something around -5 is perfect... enough to make BC shiver while Wpg will be in their comfort zone.

Not only does Calgary need to run the ball to have any shot... they need to be able to get an early lead... if BC gets down early they are going to rely even more on the home run shots... because they don't have much else for offense... Calgary needs to control ball possession, maintain the lead, and defensively win 50/50s at about a 75/25 rate.... that said, I still think BC wins fairly easily

4 TD's from punt returns & 6 from interceptions. The Bombers only had 3 that didn't come from the offence (1 punt return, 1 interception & one fumble recovery).
it's too bad I can specifically remember our three non-offense touchdowns... Grant vs Sask, Houston vs Cgy, and Biggie vs Edm... would prefer to have so many, I can't possibly remember them all

Looked up modp, jovon is the only db to ever win. First half Fleming won one some how, explain that to Doug brown please some one lol. Dt bayliss in 93, dt dr death (what a nick name) and Helton in 74. 4 out of 48. 44 de/lbers.
for mop soli won it in 14 then hal Paterson in 56 for defensive players.
Mol going back to 74 has never gone to a dl.
teams has never gone to any one but a kr/kicker. Not a punter not a cover guy. And we’ve seen a couple good blocked kick years from guys in the early ots too.The award is "most outstanding Offensive Lineman"... not most outstanding lineman
-
Who I think will win...
Kelly, Betts, Oliveira, Hardrick, Leake, Stiggers, Dinwiddie.... so 4 Argos, 2 Bombers, and 1 Lion... makes sense based on teams records...

STAMPS, LIONS INJURY REPORTS: BEGELTON, MIZZELL FULL PARTICIPANTS ON TUES.
The Stamps began their week without defensive lineman Terrell McClain (ankle) and defensive back Brad Muhammad (hand). Defensive back Branden Dozier (calf) was limited. The Stamps’ healthy scratches from their regular season finale were all full participants on Tuesday.
In Vancouver, the Lions were without defensive back Jalon Edwards-Cooper (shoulder) and running back Kienan Lafrance (triceps). Running back Taquan Mizzell (ribs) was a full participant on Tuesday.
TICATS, ALS INJURY REPORTS: JULIEN GRANT SITS OUT ON TUESDAY
Three players sat out for the Ticats on Tuesday, including receiver Tyler Ternowski (shoulder), defensive back Nic Cross (knee) and defensive lineman Jonathan Kongbo (head).
In Montreal, the Alouettes opened their week of practice without five players, including wide receiver Kaion Julien-Grant (shoulder) and offensive lineman Pier-Olivier Lestage (knee).

I had no idea Lefrance was still in the league...
10 hours ago, Brandon said:If (when) they meet up in the finals it will be a 50/50 game that will come down to who can make the big plays and who can win the turn over battle. Like F last year we have a kicker and Prukop not tossing a lame duck that game more then likely ends differently. It usually comes down to a few plays.
I don't love to rehash these memories... but to me there were 5 major moments where if any ONE of those were reversed, the Bombers would've won:
1. Leigghio missed kick
2. Prukop 4th quarter INT
3. Collaros 4th quarter INT
4. not stopping the Argos on 2nd and 20
5. Jeffcoat injury (I'm convinced this would have subsequently also reversed #4) -

but according to RFans...its a conspiracy...and refs favour us hahaha
Could never be a case of reputation preceding you tho.....much like their undisciplined bottom of the league mark
lot of that goes to vets in locker room setting the culture and how to go about things on and off field more than anything....But also Walters and Osh bringing in, and keeping the character guys too
It's funny how the league always decides to favour the teams that are already good...

So Kelly has trully been.....outstanding...hahahaha....or shall we say average?....to good?
watch this....Duane Ford at around the 11:45 minute mark makes great sense...and nails the Argo thing on the head
I only listened for about 20 mins... but this seems like a fantastic podcast... might help that Bob was on (unless he's a regular)... and providing full league wide coverage, not just the Ticats was nice.

I don't believe anyone ever said that in seriousness. There is a lot of joking on here about Jackson being on the roster purely because of how animated the anti-Jackson sentiment became, but I don't believe there's a single poster who believes that Jackson being on the roster is a good thing.
There have been people who have pointed out specific plays where Jackson made a significant contribution... but I don't recall anyone saying he was significant to the overall run game

Was Madani.
Just voted for CFL East and West awards.
Of note, Brady Oliveira for West MOP, but Betts over Oliveira for Top Canadian in the West. Betts' impact in games was staggering.
Crum got my vote for East rookie of the year. What they asked him to do was wild, right into the fire.— Arash Madani (@ArashMadani) October 29, 2023
I think, for me, the worst part is his justification that Betts' impact was "staggering".... was it staggering how invisible he was for about 6-8 games this year too?... If "impact in games" is your barometer... the winner is Brady by a mile

this was a great read, Thanks @SpeedFlex27.... the old school days were wild... imagine Dru Brown realizes he's not going to unseat Zach as the starter so he just goes and becomes an all-star DB... though I guess TSN thinks he plays there...
