  1. "Glen Young is on leave as defensive coordinator of the Toronto Argonauts until further notice. Along with defensive backs coach Joshua Bell. Veteran assistant Rich Stubler will call the defensive game plan for the Argos this week against Saskatchewan. Today, GM Michael Clemons told the media that Young would retain his DC title while he is on leave from the team. Reports are that Young and DB coach Joshua Bell are away from the team because they have not followed MLSE’s vaccination policy, which requires all employees to be vaccinated. The Argonauts have not confirmed that. Both Bell and Young’s absence is being characterized as being of a personal nature." Sounds like Cov-Idiots to me.
  2. The reason our offence is much better this year is the same reason it was much better in our playoff run last year... Collaros.

    Annnnnnd....... I'm out.

    If that's the decision, then it's OK with me.

    After looking at the injuries, I'd like to change my vote from Regina to Winnipeg, if that's still possible. Thanks.

  7. I think Gray is a healthy scratch every week because we don't want to put him on the PR and possibly lose him.
  8. I doubt we have a lot of extra cash to throw around because they lowered the SMS cap this year.
  9. I think the Riders will go with a lot of quick outs and slants. Getting the ball off quickly is one way to handle our D line. I expect some jet sweeps to widen the D line and trying to establish some kind of run game. Fewer deep shots cuz they don't have the time. I expect Faj-j-j to have a better game and he'll need to if they want to win.
  10. Leggz missed 2 kicks yesterday and 2 kicks last week and he's only been the starter for 2 weeks. That's what rookies kickers do. Make some big ones. Miss some they should make.
  11. I can't understand why it wasn't roughing the passer. Hand to the face mask should be called every single time. I'm not sure what criteria they were looking for.
  12. 1. Alexander - Picks and big hits. 2. Harris - His running allowed Collaros to go for the bombs. 3. D Line - Took over the game. HH: The cross bar.. That beautiful big yellow bastard does it again.
  13. How can anyone not trust doctors to make a vaccine and not trust doctors opinions on vaccines, but trust doctors to fix them when they get sick because they didn't take the vaccine? Their ought to be a special ward for these special people where they just get thoughts and prayers instead of taking up the doctors and nurses time.
  14. Reindolt was a bad coach, but at least he was a decent guy. I sat with him at a Grey Cup party and talked for an hour about football. He was highly entertaining. The Kelly year was the worst for me. I wouldn't have sat down and talked with him if he was the only person who had a chair available at his table and I have really bad knees.

    Andrew Harris
  16. 1. Collaros - On time. On Target. Drops cost him a lot of yards. 2. Jefferson - Only guy getting consistent pressure. 3. Jones - Forced fumble likely saved the game for us. HH - Gautier = Huge hits always make me smile.

    Dumbest move of his HC career IMO.

    PLAP's offence works when you have a decent QB, a good RB and a great O Line. Ottawa has none of those. Once they get behind, they can't open up the offence because Nichols deep ball accuracy is sub par. All they can do it the same thing and hope for zero drops. I'm surprised they even have 1 win this year.
  19. I started by saying the Bombers made 2 big plays that put 14 points on the board for us. That's not ignoring the good things, it's giving the Bombers their due. I'm not pretending that the Bombers didn't make mistakes. We all know they made mistakes. I'm saying that the game wasn't lost simply by Bomber mistakes. The loss was mostly due to the Argos badly out playing us on that day. That's why I don't agree with your 'do you see the Bombers making that many mistakes again' line of 'reasoning'. Now on to today's game. I expect it to be a one sided win for the Bombers.
  20. There you go again, pretending that it was all Bomber mistakes that led to the whupping we took. No credit to the Argos for outplaying us last week.
  21. BC winning last night puts the pressure on us. Lose this one and we're tied with Calgary and BC. Toronto taught other teams how to beat us. Control the lines and stop the run. I don't think Calgary has the horses to control the lines and Harris being back makes stopping the run way harder. I expect a one sided game, but you never know.
  22. Finally, something we can both agree on.
  23. Sigh... Yes, I think the guys were really as bad as they played last week. This week? That remains to be seen. Next week? Who knows? Let's get past this week first.
  24. Now on to 'Do you expect them to be THAT bad every game?' How's that not moving the goalposts? Your head is so far up the Bombers butts that you might as well check for polyps while your there. The final score flattered us and everyone knows it. We didn't keep the score close. They owned us (450 yards of offence, 40 minutes TOP, 25% of our passing came on 1 play) and I'm sure everyone including the players and coaches knows that too. Eventually we lost by 7, but we were down by 14 with just over 2 minutes to go and they didn't bother to kick an easy FG at the end to be up by 10. You and others want to shine the turd and focus on it being a 7 point loss instead of calling a spade a spade (or F'ing shovel if you prefer). When we were a crappy team, hope was all we had to cling to, so we had to look for any silver lining, ignore the reality and find the 3 or 4 plays that went our way. We're not that team any more. We're a contender. Time to put down the blue kool-aid and to see things as they are, not how you wish they were.
  25. You're trying to move the goal posts again. FTR: I'm only talking about the 2nd Argo game, not any other game before or after. The fact is that game wasn't close despite the final score.
