Re: CFL 7th Games Preview, Odds and Post Game Comments

How did they come up with Calgary over TO by 4.5? TO has a very tough D and Nik Lewis is the only Calgary guy on O that can actually scare a D.

Re: Mitchell 2-gamed suspended for dirty play

I say one game suspension is appropriate because what KM did was not premeditated. What KM did was dirty, illegal play, but he was provoked by an illegal hold.

Re: Argos release Boyd

Coach Milanovich has intimated but not actually stated, that Boyd's ineffectiveness was in blocking and pass receiving so the sop for most teams would be to bench Boyd and play his back up, not to outright release the player. What if the back up has a bad game? Klacket has had fumble issues in the p...

Re: Why did so many Lions fans give Roy Dewalt a hard time?

I would rate Capp, Flutie, Dickenson ahead of Dewalt, and tied with Allen, McManus and ahead of the rest.

Re: Argos release Boyd

Anyone who thinks this is part of the Ray/Jyles trade isn't thinking things thru. What would be the advantage to the Esks not getting Boyd at training camp and having to wait 6 games into the season? There is none, so Esks wouldn't have initiated this part of the deal and likely would have insisted ...

It was reported on a different thread on this forum that Elimimian has 2 tackles and an interception in pre season.

Re: Argos release Boyd

I think Esks interest in Boyd depends a bit on how Messum is doing with his tryout in the NFL.

Re: Six games into the 2012 season, Term 1 Reports

I think a lot of players and teams have trouble stringing successive great seasons together because the success garners greater attention and opposition game planning. One of the great things about Geroy's career has been his ability to string together so many 1000+ yard seasons; yet now with so man...

Re: Mitchell 2-gamed suspended for dirty play

The Mitchell hit that I referred to was the one where he got a penalty in the Calgary game not the Esks game. Not all late hits are dirty imo as it is sometimes a timing issue. I didn't say Glenn was a pass receiver, but I was trying to make the point that several plays and situations allow a player...

Re: Six games into the 2012 season, Term 1 Reports

It is tough living up to last season's MOP status especially when Lulay probably shouldn't have won the award. As Geroy Simon said, Jamel Richardson should have been the MOP (with 1700+ receiving yards and several hundred yards ahead of Geroy who was #2), but Richardson wasn't even nominated. Lulay ...

Re: 100 Grey Cups...

The failure of the "Bills in Toronto" series underlines the fact that TO is not a football town. If there were hundreds of thousands of real NFL fans (you know, the ones that BUY tickets) then it wouldn't be such a difficult task to get true football fans to support the Argos. But getting ...

Re: Mitchell 2-gamed suspended for dirty play

Reddick is appealing his fine that he got for tackling Kevin Glenn. Good idea imo since at the time of the tackle Glenn was still carrying out a fake so it was a legal football play. The rules protect a QB after he has thrown a pass, but not after he has handed off the ball, but faking that he stil...

Re: Lions 18 - Argos 9 Post Game Stats and Comments

NFL cuts will be happening soon, so Shivers needs to find some KR guys. For now, I would start to use Ianuzzi on at least some of the returns.

Re: Six games into the 2012 season, Term 1 Reports

I pretty much agree with cromartie's ratings except with Lulay is it decision making that is the problem or is it being too conservative and protecting the ball too much and not enough throw the ball deep and let the receiver run to it. Don't worry too much about interceptions because sometimes a lo...
