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

Now I understand all of his Rider predictions and conspiracy theories...

All joking aside... good for him, it's always nice to hear a positive recovery story... and then see him go on to help others... I have gained a new level of respect for Rod Pederson (the man, not the football analyst )...

This explains everything....

For those who were adamant there was nothing wrong with the Ackie hit (analysts and such)... I wonder if any will recant....

Well, that would be the next man on the fine list - Stefan Logan who criticized the refs and specifically mentioned Ackie's hit as being 'clean'. 

Stick to returns Stefie, leave the evaluations to the pros...

That flushing sound you hear is the Argo's season going down the drain.

That is brutal for the Argos. So does this mean Ottawa storms back after a slow start? Does Montreal sneak in? How much did the chance of a crossover rise?

I think the chance of a crossover was almost 100% already.  The real question now is.... will the Riders have a better record than the second place team in the East and get screwed out of a playoff spot???  God I'd love to see that.

Not I... I want to see the Riders lose out ...

thats why you send it via email with the subject line "you may already be a winner!"

 

 

I assume if they are air lifting a qb it would be Cato because of Popp's love affair of his old players...

Relying on Ray was fool's gold. You have to think the Argos make a trade for someone. Lulay/Jennings, Franklin, Vernon Adams and Collaros/Masoli could all be on the table.

Maybe they hold out and Toronto trades for Reiley after the 2017 season?

One blue chip Canadian and a high first round draft pick for a guy they left unsigned in the off season?

I think they want Lefevour back Coombs sounds like a good return. Maybe toss in a 3rd.

Looks like you have some other weird formatting around it that got picked up when you copied it.   It can't be a link when you paste it in for it to auto convert, it has to just be text.

Either paste it in a text editor program or email to get rid of the formatting first, or paste it in here, highlight it in the editor here and play with the remove formatting button (The Tx).

Looks like Reinebold is out in Hamilsmell....

Can't say I agree with the firing. Reinebold isn't the problem imo, it's Austin.
