3. Losing game this week means not playing Sask when they are at their weakest, with two players suspended and Fajardo hurt.
4. Losing game this week creates a "fake" bye -- the week is already almost over and players have been here prepping. They won't be able to get a legitimate stretch of time away from football. Their next bye gives them 14 days between games, meaning at least seven days off; getting one now would mean at best 3 or 4 days off, with no time to plan trips etc.
5. Argos should not be forced to pay the price -- again -- for another team's inability to keep its players Covid-free.
