"If I was Michael Copeland" - Ideas for Argos off-the-field 2017 Thread

You are so right about the schedule, how about the number of times we had games within less then a week at home such as October 10 vs Calgary and then less then 5 days later on October 15 we were at home playing Sask.

5 games between July 31 and Aug 23 (5, 6, 6 and 6 days between games). That is a brutal schedule.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see that as a big deal. Montreal's schedule the last 2 seasons has been worse IMO. Add in that the Ticats were 6 weeks away from home this season IIRC.

I think the issue is that in the 4 games following July 31, they played a more rested team. Even the 2nd of home and home with the Cats was advantage Cats, because the Argos were playing their 3rd game in 11 days.

At the end of the day, how much did this result in a 5-12 record though?

Who really knows? They were good against BC in game 1 of that stretch. Blew leads in game 3 and 4 late, a sign of fatigue. Not saying the Argos were a good team this year at the end of the day, but who really knows if it had an impact? It is a possibility.

It would have been more of a factor if folks still liked Milo.
