Award is for outstanding play, not mvp. His team’s record shouldn’t matter. He’s the front runner right now imo.

Oh you are correct. However not too many MOPs or MVPs in any leagues from losing teams.

I guess it's understandable but not to many reps for Biggie in the first half

[Mark H.]

Couple of good defenses, hitting hard, making plays

Plus they both have a decent ground game

Two pretty damn good football games today

[rebusrankin]

So this MOP talk got me curious and I did some digging. Going back to 1980, every MOP played on a team that was 9-9 or that had a winning record. Owens for Toronto in 2012 (9-9) and  Elimimian for BC in 2014 (9-9) are the only two that played for a team that was .500.

But it's infuriating to see a QB barely get hit while sliding & it's a 15 yard penalty. 

ZC & others get clobbered - no call

[Mark H.]

Stamps have one heck of a front 7, not sure why they need Bighill.

[bustamente]

Stamps consistently get pressure on the qb essentially rushing only 4

[Super Duper Negatron]

I feel like the crossover is our best chance at this point 

[Mark H.]

It's crazy to think that we lost to the Stamps by just 1 point

I don't think there's much doubt that the Stamps will be in the West final. Adams can put up a subpar performance and they still win handily

Trevor Harris will not stand a chance against their pass rush. In fact, ZC might actually do better

That’s a crazy stat. Might be a moot point though, as I think the Argos finish the season at least 9-9.
