July 24, 2015: Toronto Argonauts vs. BC Lions

[AngeloV]

fair enough on Brad Fay but on the flipside I'd say no one watches sportsnet connected - if given the choice everyone I know goes SportsCentre, it's not even close.

Anyhow enough on that....

Argos will be in tough as always with this late start (next year we should start scheduling BC at 1pm on a Saturday - i don't see why not) combined with matt black's injury (i'm missing another injury or two here I'm sure but being down 2 nationals at safety hurts)

I think this team can pull out the W though. A W here and I think it carries to another one next week in Edmonton. A 4-1 start heading into Hamilton for August 3 would be out of this world. I also realize I am being wayyyyy too optimistic here (as usual)

Think you're looking at bad dates. They play Edmonton near the end of August, not July. They are in Hamilton next weekend (holiday Monday).

Yeah, be careful with those bad dates:



Back on topic, this game is one of the last opportunities for a Braley vs. Braley match-up, as Frank reminds us in today's article.

If the Argos can get Whitaker and Josey established then they should win this game. The Lions have struggled against the run this year and it'll help keep Lulay off the field.

SHITE!!!! I'll be at Pearson picking my wife up on the Monday that the Argos play in Hamilton. Here I thought she'd have checked the CFL schedule before booking. Man I hate missing games and once it's done it's done so PVRing sucks in my books.

With my work schedule, I rely on PVR a lot. Avoiding the scores is essential of course. I was not able to watch the Calgary game until 6 days later...still enjoyed the game immensely.

If i have to PVR a game, what i always do, is make sure to listen to a rogers radio or tv station,until i'm able to watch the game. This way im guaranteed to never hear the score (haha)

Airport Limo or Taxi Cab, or would that be insensitive??

Going by the stories posted this week, it looks like Keeping will indeed return at center, van Roten will move to RG, King will play LT and that Agnew will start at safety. So... will we start a NAT at receiver, or go with the minimum seven?

Go with the minimum seven then. No way do you take Gurley, Elliott, or Hazelton out of the starting lineup.

Did Frank Z not mention that Elliot is nursing a lower leg injury? If he is unable to go, I would start Adjei in his spot without hesitation.

oh probably - that's great though I just figured the road trip continued indefinitely..... glad we are coming up on our long awaited home opener. maybe the riders will win a game before that - hah

Possibly. We might squeak by Hamilton but I have my doubts about Edmonton.

If he has an injury which would prevent him from playing, that is a whole other thing. As long as those three import receivers are healthy enough to play though, they must IMO.

I guess 7 it is.

[argonaut11xx]

There are a few of us Argofans who are meeting up prior to the game at The Back Forty, which is at Beatty & Robson, right across the road from the main enterance to BC Place. Its a fun place to meet up, many players families, TSN folks, and lots of lions fans.

Winning last year in BC Place was a blast, (however it was Ricky Ray v John Beck), Lulay seems to have regained his form, im hoping Harris continues to play at a high level.

[Argocister]

Foley, Greenwood, Laing, Keeping, Homes ,Van Zeyl,Coombs and Dupuis ..... That's 8 .... Do they not count FB? Or am I reading the chart wrong?

[Wobbler]

I think this is the right call. We have capable NAT backups for each of those seven guys, so the risk is acceptable.
