Some big games to watch tonight.  Everyone wants to know who's gonna break out of the East's slump, winner of this first game could do it.  Pivotal game for at least one team tonight.

 

For Montreal, this could be Troy Smith's "Do Or Die" game.  He's had some rough ones on the road so far in McMahan and BC Place, but has done fairly well at home so far.  A win tonight and the Als will continue to ride the TS Train, but should signs of struggle become eminent, the word is the Als will turn to Marsh or Brink this game.

 

For Toronto, the injuries have decimated their playmaking receiving corps, and someone is gonna need to step up for Ricky Ray if the Argos hope to get back on track.  And someone on Burke's defense also is gonna need to step up and become a leader there.

 

Critical game here for both squads, though I think in Montreal's case, given their current personnel situation, I think it's much more critical for them.  The Argos injuries to Durie, Owens, and Barnes have obviously hurt them a lot, but once they get healthy they got the ability to make a comeback into the playoff picture.  The Als on the other hand, they start getting behind in East vs East games and I think they're done.

 

 

Calgary vs BC will be interesting.  Calgary has continued to find ways to win despite some of Mitchell's struggles, yet you just feel their luck won't hold up forever.  BC has their problems but they've also shown they can surprise you when you least expect it.  Gonna be a good game here tonight.

Dunigan has to be hammered here...

Dunigan is telling a story about how he once had 12 espresso coffee beans before a pre-season game.

How come I only saw this for the first time now??

 

 

Bahaha, too funny, and so true.

Wow ... would be passed out by half time.

It'd be more deadly than the Don Cherry piano hands drinking game

I would die of alcohol poisoning by the end of the first quarter.

 

That's worse than the Pierre McGuire drinking game!

Yeah the QB's are bad.....but that is one of the worst designed offenses I've seen in a while...

 

Agreed, hence that other thread going on here showing that people are giving Dinwiddie way too much of a pass for this nonsense.  It's been proven by Gary Crowton that If your OC is unprepared, unqualified, or clueless, your whole offense will go down the tube.

 

Management's been bad too.  You NEVER EVER play musical QBs with a team when that team is in the lead.  I understand if the game is getting out of hand and a QB is really playing badly you pull him, but there was no reason at all to put Brink in there.  That dude should be banned from the CFL just for his reek show, I am so ****ing glad he is not a bomber anymore.  Troy Smith's days are likely numbered too, but Brink should not be out there period.

 

I'm wondering if it is true that Jim Popp is upset that Higgins is the HC and he's trying to give him junky players to get him fired.

I think Dinwiddie gets cut some slack because he was never supposed to be the offensive coordinator. He was hired as a qb coach and he's brand spanking new to coaching, no way he should have been thrust into the OC role that quickly. 

That would actually slow down the drinking at the Killer griller parties.

Partridge is a beast on short yardage!

Cut Matty some slack, at least he comes by his brain damage honestly.

"That was more like a tequila shot."

Harris is a wrecking ball, in talent I think he is better than Cornish.

If he corrects his fumbling issue, I'd agree.

So this supplants the Rod Black Nut Hanging Game?  You had a slug every time Black sprung a gusher over somebody.  Took only about 15 minutes to get good and plastered. 

That was holding??? Call that every play.

Nik Lewis is a healthy scratch.  Might be time for him to move on ti another team.

 

Turning out to be a really good game.

Or he really didn't want it, but there was nobody else?

That TD would have been great for the fantasy team...

Fake it

Time for Glenn to pull out his Willy...

Trade Willy for Kevinn Glen!

Wow, good for Glenn.  I was expecting the patented last minute pick.

 

Would be nice to see BC win this game so we can stay in 1st place.

Dumb and dumb.

this feel familiar to anyone else? Two missed 2 point converts, the first being questioned for how early it was, leading to protecting a 1 point lead late in the 4th quarter?
