    After seeing Sask miss two easy FGs, they could easily be 2 - 0 or at least 1 - 0 - 1
    I think Sask at home will easily win this one.

    Even though I probably shouldn't, I'll take the Cats coming off a bye.

    Ricky Ray shredded the Ticats to the tune of 500+ yards in week 1 and Kevin Glenn throws for close to 400 tonight. The Ticats secondary needs those two veteran halfbacks (Kanneh and E. Davis) back soon. But, their offence couldn't muster a whole lot against Saskatchewan either. I get that Collaros has had a poor line in front of him, but that hasn't stopped Ray from throwing for 506 and 366 in two Argo victories despite facing the same challenges.

    Collaros has yet to throw for even 200 yards this season, if I am not mistaken.

    I think he had more than 200 against the Argos, but it wasn't by much.

    I think this could be Austin's last year in the Hammer.

    Rouge Radio podcast tweeted that Collaros is starting to look like Drew Willy in the fact that he has happy feet. Like Willy in Winnipeg, he has taken a lot of hits. Maybe Milanovich will end up in Hamilton next year. Collaros loved playing for him is what I've heard.

    Only watched the first half, but Collaros really did not look anything like the Collaros of 2013-15. On one throw he turned his back away from the receiver, just hung it up there and said a prayer. Something seems really off with Hamilton and I suspect that it is a combination of poor talent selection (letting guys like Vaughan, Sears and Murray leave is catching up to them), Austin having hit his expiry date and Collaros being too battered to run around the way he used to.

    I think you hit it in the head regarding Austin's expiry date. Looked very disorganized on defence and as usual was losing his mind on his assistants. Poorly disciplined I think Kent has lost the locker room.

    Yes sir, the three players you mentioned have all been very good additions for Toronto.
    Collaros looked like Fred Astaire in the pocket last night, I still remember him taunting the Argonaut bench a couple of years ago at THF so no sympathy here.

    Jeff Reinebold handed the DC job after Steinauer left was a real joke IMO - what, Tillspin/Kenty - afraid to interview anything but same old recycled hacks for the job ? The Ticats have some talent on D in their front 7 for sure, but sounds like the same formula that Barker believed in for his D-backfield: no need for continuity and just plug in "talented" new Americans there and they'll be fine.

    CFL defences have Kenty & Collaros figured out? - never had much use for the run game, and like to load up on one or two favorite receivers in a pass only offence. Take away Tasker and put lots of rush on Collaros (iffy O-line too) and they have little else to go with.

    I doubt Kenty gets the boot even if they are win-less by Labour Day though? - Tillspin GOB swearing for him in his corner, plus Bob-O knows nothing about football.

    Reinebold is a fine special teams coach but I have never thought much of him as a defensive coordinator. I am pretty sure Trestman would have fired him after the 2012 season if Trestman had not headed to Chicago instead. In fact, Reinebold was replaced by Noel Thorpe in Montreal anyway following that 2012 season.

    It's a long season, plus Reinebold hasn't had his starting halfbacks, arguably the hardest position to fill on D. Incomplete grade IMO.
