Probably eat some and watch some on the big screen at the same time. Gotta find a brisket today to have it ready. Flavourless fatty gristle? As a metaphor for Fajardo's CFL career yes.

BigBlue Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Toronto's loss reminds me very much of the 2001 Blue Bomber western final loss ... we dominated the whole season and "decided" to rest the stars AND Glenn Suiter Rod Black style kept our most important players out to keep them from getting injured ... Well we came out flat as a pancake and could not shake the rust off ... no Grey Cup appearance for the most deserving players ... assk Milt Steagall for details: "Offensively, Winnipeg topped the circuit with 509 points. The defense proved to be a force, as the Blue Bombers surrendered 383 points, lowest in the league. Khari Jones led the charge, throwing for 4,545 yards. Milt Stegall caught 81 balls for 1,214 yards. Charles Roberts rushed for a team-high 620 yards, while Eric Blount also buoyed the ground attack. Juran Bolden picked off 6 opponent throws. Doug Brown blasted opposing passers 7 times." https://www.statscrew.com/football/roster/t-CFLWPG/y-2001#google_vignette I believe when a team has that big a lead for 1st place, on every "nothing game", all the starters need to play at least the first half, if not the whole game ... the secondary players only come in when victory looks likely (see Tom Brady). Last year it cost us a Cup when ZC hurt his wheels but we were still VERY close. A little more intensity earlier in the game and it would not have been close. I do not expect a relaxed attitude this time... the whole team has something to prove ... and yes talent overcomes luck ... just like yesterdays Hail Mary TD Edited November 12, 2023 by BigBlue Pepper_Brooks and Noeller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What 2002 when milt stegall got hurt in the game before the playoffs and Doug brown was hurt? And Charles roberts got hurt on the first play of the west final? Cause they tried the no rest there and it it them there too. Bottom line it's preparedness. Show up and be mentally strong. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sticking to my opinion that "resting" can cause rust and over confidence just like it did to Toronto this year. Jesse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17to85 Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Kelly made an early mistake and couldn't over come it. Argos never faced adversity and he didn't know how to deal with it when it happened. Noeller and Jesse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex_Banner Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Yes more food please, I always love talking about food. So far I’ve got chicken wings and bacon wrapped stuffed pepper poppers on the menu to go on the bbq. Plus some pizza and a bunch of dips, keilbasa, cheese, pickles, I’m so stoked for next weekend already!
