The CFL.ca storylines article made me chuckle today

The difference between #1 Winnipeg and #2 Montreal is 6.3%. The difference between #2 Montreal and #9 Toronto is 3.9%

So in summary the Argos continue to suck bigly.

I just can’t help myself. Therapist time.

Boy I hope lawson isn’t out. A combo of thomas and korny playing all the reps at one dt spot (and probably a big chunk of the other) is really hard to over come. 

Didn’t think our nat dt situation could get worse last year. Then this year is like hold my beer! What’s gonna happen next year, we sign one of the old old heads from on here to rotate with jake? 

Thomas and Korney would be ugly...and real bad...If Woods cant go and Adams isnt used thats just as dumb as dumb can be.....I'd rather they just dress Jaworksi then and roll with him...Jenkins...WJ...Vaughters and Bailey

The fact we dont have to even use a CDN on dline for ratio especially now knowing Smith can take reps on defence and not hurt us we are more than capable of making ratio with one o Baoley or Smith or Kramdi on field at any given time

That being said too....if Clercius or Demski can't go....that ratio of 5 on offence and 2 on defense we could easily start one of Echols...heck or even Mitchell over Corcorran also would be the smarter move...Corcorran shouldnt even be on roster seeing what Cobb can do

Was that Jaworski who wore 56? He's a beast. Him and Jenkins should def start over Thomas and Korny. But Osh gonna Osh.....

He literally didn't get here until about two weeks before the game. They just got both Jenkins and Jaworski recently and they are still learning the rules. They are just getting a head start on next year.

I found that very curious....

And that Ferguson piece made me LOL.... No clue that Demski is hurt and zero mention of Trey Vaval....

that either means day off, or out long term. in this case i suspect they aren’t hurt thankfully.

No kidding. I’ve got an uneasy feeling about this game.

big dude too. Reminds me a little of ceresna. Not as heavy, But easily looks strong enough to tear it up at 3t/4i and book end. 

It’s insane how many outliers we have on the dl, and how few of them we use.

I find Ferguson to be one of the most useless people in CFL media (and that says a lot).  His work is often just terrible, uninformed takes that aren't worth reading.

De up here..and dt...easiest to just drop a new guy in and be relatively seamless from u.s to Canadian game...translates easiest even with the 1 yard off ball

Yeah...always said we don't utilize guys properly...and i have some unease too...and by that I mean in regards to Osh crippling us with a bad roster...my hope he has learned from the past..lord knows he has had 3 good seasons now worth of learning...but that being said if we bow out with nary a whimper its gonna be due to coaching and coaching decisions...not so much talent...well "healthy" talent i should say...hope im wrong

Pure insanity that both him and O'Shea won't just say Strev is out and it's too bad for him.  They keep saying they won't rule him out.  With any other coaching staff, you know that that's just pure bluffing, but with these guys I wouldn't put it past them to run Streveler out there on 1 leg with a crutch under his arm to try and do short yardage...

[Brandon]

Reading his body language... that guy has zero confidence and those canned generic answers is just him reading off a script.    No way he is back next year,  they need to bring in someone with experience and without a deer in the headlights look.

If Osh is back then Hogan is back as OC. Guaran-fricking-teed.

Soooo...to the article, Montreal has a decisive edge. I agree with the analysis but we shall see.

[bearpants]

I think we need to re-brand this game.... it's not a Bombers cross over... it's unfinished business, 2011 style... the two seasons are similar in that the Bomber will be playing through the east and an Ottawa team didn't exist...
