Training camp is over .... adjustments have been made  and its time for the opening kickoff

Anybody change their minds on how preseason changed their expectations for this year .... Montreal thrashing Ottawa changed mine .... cutting Willy raise my hopes for the Argos .... Edmonton looks stronger than I first thought and Regina even worse

For the first time in years I am forecasting Winnipeg finishes first in the league  .. just an optimistic hunch .... I forecast these final standings:

Winnipeg

Calgary

Vancouver

Edmonton

Ottawa

Montreal

Toronto

Hamilton

Regina

Sorry. I work in mental health and I cringe every time someone describes someone else as being 'Schizophrenia'. It makes me me want to scream bc the term is often used in place of Dissociative identity disorder (DID), also known as multiple personality disorder (MPD). Two very different and traffic conditions. 

Sorry just needed to vent lol

yea I suppose you could say we have a lot of split personalities but I mean, its not far off either with Schizophrenic too, no?  random outbursts that make no sense,  random tangents that don't have any bearing in whats actually going on.. prone to fits of rage for no reason...

I feels you bro. I have a few relatives in extended family with "Schizophrenia" and it is definitely not what the OP was thinking.  I think the poster should describe fan bases with the more clinical term "F'n nuts". 

this is accurate as well lol.

Tragic. 

I know Spuds didn't mean anything by it. I was referring more with regards to Kelly's original comment when he said it.

ya, no offense intended.. if I did offend someone, I apologize.

Sounds like Rider fans.

The difference between harris to start vs to finish the season is gigantic. Before, i could buy him being the best in the league. over all with the second half, not top 2 or close to it.

WOOHOOO THE SEASON IS HERE!

Completely unrelated to any conversation we've been having on here but I'm so glad football is back. Even though the Bombers have the bye, I'm just excited to see some football, and for the first time in years and years I'm more than cautiously optimistic about our football team this year.

Interesting read about the CFL in Canada.  Even more interesting is that SportsNet published it.

http://www.sportsnet.ca/football/cfl/cfl-integral-canadas-sporting-identity/

 

good article.

"What does reigning CFL MOP Bo Levi Mitchell have in-store for the 2017 season? Mitchell has not been shy to let everyone know that it “will not be fun to play me this year” as he plans on reflecting on the bad finish to 2016 "

 

Confidence is not the same as arrogance.

The Alouettes have signed former #Bombers QB Drew Willy

Is |Drew Willy going to be the next Kevin Glenn? already on his 4th team in 5-6 years, 1 half of the bingo card is down, 1 half to go.

I like the Willy signing for Montreal.  They have very little depth behind Durant.  Interesting that Willy ends up backing up DD again too.

I want to know if any of the young QBs are going to shake free from Montreal with this move.

The coconut tree is almost bare from shaking, what are you hoping to drop?

Als also released Canadian receiver Alex Charette who I thought had some potential last season.

And here is the probable reason: 

RT .@HerbZurkowsky1 - #AlsMTL have put Ray Drew, Anthony Sarao and QB Matthew Shiltz on one-game IR.

Not so sure that is related, since they have Vernon Adams and Jacory Harris as well.

Durant and Willy are long time buddies.  That could have some bearing on it, probably will help Willy playing behind him again. I'm sure Durant gave rave reviews to management.

Also a one year deal, they aren't 100% sold on him. Could be Willy's last contract unless he proves something.

Band aid for when DD eventually goes down to Injury and Adams shits the bed.

100% because of the Willy/Durant relationship....

Nice call atomic, you said willy would not be unsigned for long.
