    How many regular season games will the Argos win in 2015?

    It's tough to predict how good this team will be. Ray's readiness is questionable, our receiving corps and to a lesser extent the secondary will be overhauled, and we've got personnel and coaching changes all over the place.

    So... what do you think?

    I'm hopeful that our offense last year was seriously hampered by critical receiver injuries and that we'll be more fortunate this year. Our recruiting/drafting/trading seems to have brought in a lot of personnel to improve our OL and DL, and that should make the whole team better. 12-6!

    8-10. Not to slag on you guys but with Trevor Harris growing pains and young receivers it might take while for this offence to gel. Unless Denny Creehan has grown from his previous gigs as a D coordinator the defence is a bit of a question mark.

    We seem to hear the offence needs time to gel every year. Could be a tough start with the "Annual Crap 1st Half of the Season Roadtrip" to kick things off............

    I don't know that the road trip intangible is there because the Argos over the last 10 years have probably been one of the best road teams in the league minus a couple hiccups last season.

    I'm going to be the pessimist here. There are too many question marks at several positions to make me believe that this team can be a contender. The best-case scenario, obviously, is for one of the new receivers to become our next Dontrelle Inman or John Chiles. Selfishly, of course, Chiles not making it to the Bears unlike Inman who made the Chargers would be a nice mid-season boost if he chose to return to Toronto. Another, best-case is that some of the new guys in the secondary gel like the 2012 group managed to do towards the end of the season.

    I'm thinking a rough start due to injuries, cohesion and schedule. A string of wins should end the year with that homestand. 9-9, possibly 10-8 season.

    I put 17-18 but that's in my greatest dreams.

    I hope 7 or 8 in all reality. Too many unknowns yet again. I think next year will be the big improvement with guys wanting to stay and play at Argonaut Field at BMO.

    I'd love to see us have the majority of the same players for at least two or three years. Since Grey Cup 100 we've have to learn to many new guys names each year. The turnover is staggering.

    I never thought Inman was that great. Good talent, but had too many drops. Then he makes the Chargers. People who think the CFL is for chumps are clueless. As a fan of both leagues, sometimes you can forget how good CFL players can be. The talent is out there, here's hoping they can find it.

    I don't seem to recall Inman dropping many passes at all. IMO, the only reason he didn't shine more was because the Argos used Owens and Durie a hell of a lot in their game plan.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Inman also missed some time to injury in both seasons. I believe he was on pace for 1000 yards in both.

    Too many unknows, guessing 7-8 wins and hoping for more.
    I really want to see how the offense runs this year. If it's the same as last year then 7 wins.
    Injuries, poor receivers, Ray's shoulder may have been the reason for the play calling last year.
    But another year of not establishing the run, and constantly throwing hitch screens and 3 yard passes will be a nightmare.
    Hoping for a balanced attack and pushing the field deeper...but aren't we all

    Could be a long season, but the more Ray plays the more optimistic I'll be.

    Voted 6-8 Wins, however I do believe there's a chance that the Argos could win more than 10 easily, just too many unknown variables this season. Also considering that the team is starting off on the road against 5 tough teams doesn't make things easier.

    7-11 it's going to be really tough this year especially with them 5 road games to start the season. That with the fact there are a lot of new unknown players to the team. I hope that they can find some new superstars on this team so the fans can follow them for the all important 1st season at bmo next year. With Andre durie and chad Owens not getting any younger it will be time to develop some new players. Let's also hope Ray can last for a few more years being healthy.

    7-11. Although we can all hope Harris turns out to be a road game gunslinger, a betting man would have to pick them starting about 1-4 and that will be tough to overcome. A great many unknowns receiving and on defence.

    Will the east be tougher this year?

    If Ray sits for any period of time, it's going to be an early hole. Combine that with the fact that most of the targets he will be throwing to are new to him - and that means a lot of adjustment for a touch QB like Ray.

    I think Ottawa will be vastly improved and Montreal will have a better start than last year. Harris could be a pleasant surprise and change things, but it's going to be a tough start. Then again, the 2nd half of the season is always make or break. Argos have four home games to close out the schedule. Maybe things are gonna be okay after all...

    I don't know if Ray's state of health won't be the story of Question Mark and the Mysterians' greatest hit (96 Tears), but with the 5 games away road trip to start the season followed by a return to the Rogers Tomb, things could be difficult, especially with Harris almost certainly being the primary starter for so many inexperienced receivers and one proven RB (Steele who seemed to operate best when spelled by Slaton in and/or between games, perhaps because of his small size). I think Harris could turn into a fine QB but with so many inexperienced receivers and a brutal start to the schedule its asking a lot of him to initially be the first-string QB. On the other hand, if the Argos can initially overcome these handicaps they could have a reasonably successful season.
