And again, before anyone looks around for it, this week's game is coming to a YouTube link near you.  Will be a little while but it will be up.

I think the overall problem with the media, and Milt Stegall talked about this on TSN last Thursday night before the game, is that some of these people like to spout educated guesses about how things will go during a year, and then just wait to say "I told you so" among other things.  To be fair I was just thinking about what the headlines might be saying about the bombers as I didn't really look at them after the Argo game and decided to look at them today.
 
Overall, the tone seems to be okay on the WFP site, but I've noticed GL has put no more columns down on the site about the bombers since releasing that one about O'Shea and keeping a lid on it.  My take on him in particular is that he likes to think he's the Nostradamus of the CFL.
 
My problem with Wiecek, and I don't read much of his columns, but it seems to be that even in some of his more positive articles, he uses terminology that strikes me as being unprofessional for a media person.  Maybe living down in the states and living down in different paradigm of media markets has made me think this way, but I see some of his titles and wording as being a bit too casual even for a columnist.
 
I think one of the problems is some of these outlets are relying too heavily on columnists instead of putting people in there that go out and get actual news from what's going on.  And by that I don't mean you have to be in every team meeting or go trying to find out their game plan or find all the dirt going on, but there are plenty of ways to get more stories with hard facts about the team going than what's been happening recently, or at least enough to not have to rely on columnists.  Someone else was saying that some of what may be going on more recently is the press being upset about their access to the team these days, hence why they may write more opinionated tabloid-like pieces.
 
But I would have to agree, I know people who have no degrees in journalism or communications at all that could still write better articles than some of the garbage that pops up around there.

Simply put, very hard to tell who's going where just yet in this league.
 
I will say, it does look like BC may actually be the worst team in the league (without Lulay and Arceneaux) more so than Montreal.  Course I know they've had a history recently of being very bad on the road especially in the eastern time zone, but I think they really are in trouble this year.
 
2011 was different, they did start 1-6 before going on their run, but most of those games they lost to start that year with were very close competitive games that just caught them unlucky breaks before they came into their own.  This year, they are really playing like a team in trouble.
 
I figured the Argos would bounce back after last week's loss, and so they did.  I think Ottawa will be making a rumble felt in the East as well.
 
Saskatchewan had to come back to reality today, no rain to help them out and a pissed off Ricky Ray and Toronto were gonna cause problems.  I wouldn't put much stock into today's game for them though, they'll likely bounce back again next week.
 
It'll probably be a few weeks before things get better for Hamilton, but they got the personnel and coaching that once they start getting guys healthy they could make a run later on here.
 
Edmonton is the biggest question mark I think.  Sure they're better than the 4-14 team they were last year, but I don't know, that team caught some lucky breaks last night, and if Collaros didn't go down, they might have lost, and still is crazy they almost did even with old noodle arm Lefevour in there.  I think they'll beat some good teams here, defense is good and they'll make a few surprises, but as happens with all teams in this league, luck doesn't carry a team to a Grey Cup.

Those routes receivers were running were setting defenders up for picks and were long time developing.  Calgary was bringing all out blitzes and Smith most of the time had nowhere to go with the football thanks to no hot reads available and no plays to get a few mismatches out there with runningbacks or other players coming across the way for him to throw to.  That is most certainly a bad offensive scheme.

I do have a backup copy just in case, but hopefully there is no trouble from the powers that be.  I did see some other full CFL games on there as well that look like they've been up for a while without being pulled, so that's a good sign.  The CFL in general doesn't seem to be to eager to pull the plug on either replays or even live streams of the games, as they probably relish some exposure to others, but who knows about TSN.  Hopefully they aren't poking around.

Trying to contain this excitement but just all kinds of going crazy has been going on tonight, and for plenty good reason too.
 
1.  TD on the opening drive to start the game and get the offense flying high.  I was just thinking, when was the last time we actually drove down the field on an opening drive and scored.  Seems like it was centuries ago.
 
2.  I just want to call Bellefeuille the biggest genius of CFL offense I've ever seen.  Ok ok, I know it's just one game, the O is gonna be tested a lot this year and will need to prove a lot before we can say that, but this playcalling was among the best I have seen in a very very long time.  That disease called the checkdown offense really is gone now.  And I mean really gone.
 
3.  ST, wasn't on their A-game no, though that fake punt was a brilliant move.  But since our coach is about as ST expertised as you can get, it will get better.
 
 
Team's gonna get their tests, and in those moments of adversity is when we'll find out what they're really made of, but when you want to build a winning team and build confidence moving forward, this is about as good as it could ever get.  Just wowee.  We just really might be legit this year.
