Well, was a fun night watching the Bombers once again be the top CFL team to bring in the fun with their shootout football games, and give the viewers down south a real team to watch.  Now I'll take a wild stab in the dark as to what's going to happen with these other 3 games.

 

It's the 4th of July here in the states today, and I'll be out celebrating and won't be able to catch the Als game, but I'm kinda glad of that.  From where I stand, this looks like an ugly low scoring game with little offense, a lot of QB sacks, turnovers, and turning into a defensive slugfest.  I think BC takes it, though it won't be any walk in the park.  The Als defense played very good against Calgary, pretty much just 1 big play all that first half and even into the 2nd half, didn't get away from them till late in that 4th quarter.  I don't think Glenn will put up very good numbers here either, but Ryan Dinwiddie's defective offense will be worse.

 

15-10 Leos is what I got.

 

I may catch the later part of the Tabbies and Eskies since it ends at 1 AM my time.  It won't be raining here, hopefully, but I think that Hamilton O-line continues to be bad.  Edmonton's D is very good and for their part, they seem to have Reilly protected more this year, giving a lot of time to get the ball to Stamps, Bowman, and Chambers and I suspect that spells trouble for the Hamilton defense.

 

Think I'm gonna go with Edmonton 35 Hamilton 13 here.

 

And fortunately we got a good game to end this week, Saskatchewan and Toronto.  I don't think Ricky Ray is gonna have 2 bad games in a row, just don't see it, though I think the biggest question for the Argos is whether or not Burke can get that D in somewhat running order.  I predict a shootout type of game here.

 

Gonna say Argos win 37-33

And picked

Whomever #69 on the Hamilton O-line is, he just got rag-dolled by the pass rush. Didn't even slow his man down.

Landon Rice.  I played on the provincial team with him my last year of high school when he was in grade 11. 

 

That was a pretty good illustration of why you need to pass protect from the inside out.  Obviously he's really worried about Sewell just beating him with speed through his outside gap so he's cheating a bit.  Huge gap for a potential blitz there too if he keeps that up.

Reilly looks as good as many here thought he was when he was being pursued by the Bombers.

I like Reilly still.  But im happy holding on to my Willy.

Even better when your Willy is upright.

About 2:30 in .. Worst .. Sportscaster .. Ever.

That boy will be lucky to live past the summer ...

Looks like he is done as of tonight....sucks for ZC

Willis will get the maximum fine for that, but no penalty.  Can't lead with your head, especially when you're leading with it into someone's face.

That's a 100% clean hit. Turned away, did everything he could to avoid leading with the helmet and then the movement of each player upon contact causes the slightest of helmet contact.

If you want to make H2H contact a black and white call, you're throwing multiple flags on every single play.

How do you go a whole game without throwing to Andrew Harris!!!   ARRGGHHHH!!!!

Looks clean to me as well. There's one bad angle but another that clearly shows the shoulder to shoulder contact. not to mention Willis is a lot of things but a head hunter? No...

I think Khari Jones found Chapdelaine's playbook.

Just got back from my 4th of July celebration and saw that score of the BC Montreal game.

 

Wow, Kevin Glenn has gone over the cliff, anyone who was on his bandwagon had better get off cuz he's lost it.

 

1 Td and 6 interceptions in 2 games.  That's putrid.

 

On the flipside, looks like Dinwiddie took the suggestion of running Whitaker a little more, and it worked.

 

I was right about Troy Smith not being the lone problem for the Als last week, and sure enough, if their team as a whole executes, well he wasn't great but he did a good enough job to get them a win.  Dinwiddie may be raw but looks like he somewhat did his homework.

 

BC is gonna need Lulay back fast.  Granted it's not unfamiliar territory for them to start in a hole, I know 2011 they started 0-5, but if Lulay is a rust bucket coming back, they're going to need some serious magic this time around.

Man, you don't get the true sense of how slow Collaros' release is until you compare them side by side to other QB's.

I just tuned in a little while ago after getting home.

I continually think the West will have a crossover team- IF they don't all kill each other.

Does anyone wanna win this game??

Perfect example of this is the Craig Butler hit on Pierce in the Banjo Bowl. Hit him in the chest, impact rose up and Pierce's helmet flew off.

Is Masoli looking better than Collaros? I didn't get to see the latter play.

Did Butler drop his head and launch the crown of his helmet into Buck's jaw?
