Edmonton has lost four straight, but played really well against Calgary in their most recent setback. Reilly threw for close to 500 yards against the best secondary in the league, thanks in part to the return of Derel Walker.
We will get some helpful additions to the roster too, but... we also have a losing streak. Ours is being crushed by Calgary plus an embarrassing loss to the then 0-8 Ti-Cats.
Personal prediction: Edmonton 27, Toronto 8.
Yes Edmonton will be pumped to stop the losing skid. That loss to Hamilton is going to come back to bite the Argos I'm afraid at the end of the year. That is the first time I have seen Trestman on edge this year after a loss as he knew it as well.Quote:

Unfortunately Edm has a ferocious d-line. So if Trestman has spent the bye week coming up with new wrinkles and a run game to protect Ray, then we have a chance.
I expect the same 90% pass plays and Ray to be hammered all game.
(And with three QB's down last week, I'm afraid this could be Ray's week.)
Side note: the Cats won last week with a balanced pass and run game. And I smell a home win for them against Sask without Glenn.
An interesting fact....John Chick has not been on the winning side yet this season. I hope it continues that way Saturday afternoon.
I was hoping to wait until after the game to bring this up. Nobody suffers through worse Karma than me.Quote:

Everything favours the Eskimos but I don't think the margin will not be as wide as you predict.Quote:

Edmonton to win.
C’mon guys this is the CFL, anything can happen! #noleadissafe!
Their D-Line vs. our O-Line is less than ideal, however let’s see – we did witness the improbable lefeveor led win over the Ticats around this time a year ago.
Read that Butler may be back for this one??? That’d be amazing – any other injury updates or is it wait for the depth chart tomorrow?
Butler, Laing and Sears all looking like they will be starting this week from my observations.Quote:

This isn’t a knock on the backups (wynne, davis, etc.) have played well, but those two were on fire at the start of the year.
Butler still tied for the sack lead in the CFL!
It'll be interesting to see how Butler looks without Lemon to draw some attention.
I noticed Akeem Jordan is not on the PR (unlike Mitchell White)....would they dare rush him onto the active roster to offset the loss of Lemon?Quote:

Who knows, he may be the second coming of James "quick" Parker. It does seem strange, though.
I would bet he will be strictly special teams. Argos have not been too happy with the teams.Quote:

I think game goes to the wire and the Argos can win this. I think they are much better than their record shows.
I agree. Reilly has taken a pounding this year but especially the last 4 games. Let's hope that continues.Quote:
