We haven't been able to beat any Western teams, we're vulnerable to the run, and we're coming off a demoralizing defeat. Calgary is a Western team, they run very effectively, and are coming off a historic victory.
Obviously, we should lose this game.
There could be a few interesting wrinkles. Everyone we put on the 6-game to start the year (Bethel-Thompson, Cash, Waud, Woods, Wylie) *might* now be available. Since there were reports that Cash practiced last week he seems very likely to dress. Who knows about the others.

This is going to be a tough one. We have to stop letting games slip away.

No way around it, this one will be tough. That said, what I’m looking for:
- Time for Fuller to step up, so far he’s the polar opposite of SJ Green in my view – Green coming up with everything and Fuller coming up with nothing. Gotta start making some of those catches
- Cooooooooombs – man he’s been a joy to watch so far, luckily he’s stepped into that Andre Durie role and ran with it so far. Credit to the former regime for trading for the draft slot and picking this guy.
- D line – these guys need to get some pressure, Lemon has been neutralized as of late and no Laing and Butler on Saturday showed. Hope those other guys pick it up on Thursday.
- Malcolm Williams – has had a great last couple games, in my view much more reliable than Fuller right now anyways
- Sears – has been quite dependable this year, minus that brain fart on Saturday. Hope he returns to being a dependable guy this game and shakes that off.
- Thought Owusu-Ansah played well on Saturday, headcase Duron Carter just made some good catches.
- Wilder – same as the past few weeks, get after it, less east-west running and more downhill running like Jerome Messam.

Going to be a tough game and I know it doesn't work this way but I'm hoping that Calgary used up a lot of points last week and are feeling a little too full of themselves. I don't think the Argos loss was demoralizing and see them coming out strong.

Stamps seem off this year. I think the Argonauts should win this one.

Actually they do....I was thinking the same thing until Saturday night.

Same thought went through my mind in regards to Fuller, he needs to start making some of those catches or he may be replaced. Originally Posted by mchesher03

Argos, without the handful of key injuries, would match up rather well against Team Winning Formula. Originally Posted by R.J

Of course CFL officiating is always a concern.

35 years ago this week, the Argos upset the dynasty Eskimos at home in one of the most notable regular season wins in the club's history. The Stamps are the closest thing to a dynasty in this league right now given how consistently strong they have been over the past number of years. Might history repeat this week?

Yeah he’s just the polar opposite of guys like SJ Green and Armanti Edwards who I feel like are catching everything thrown their way, especially SJ! Originally Posted by Argo57

In his defence, SJ is SJ. As good as anyone at catching contested balls. Edwards hasn't exactly been thrown any of those types of passes. He did have a contested ball in the endzone in Winnipeg which he couldn't hang on to, so let's be fair here. I would love to see them use Fuller on more slant and in routes where he can use his big body to shield defenders. Having said that, I can see him being a healthy scratch when Posey returns.

Was it posey hauling in those slant passes in the opener / drubbing of the ticats? Man, those were a thing of beauty.

We just took Whitaker off the 6 game IR early. And by early I mean REALLY early - five weeks early. Obviously he was never actually hurt.
I think it's safe to say that the James Wilder experiment is over for now.

Interesting development – wonder if whittaker is on the depth chart for tomorrow’s game in that case?

I see Darryl Waud is making his 2017 debut. Could use Bishop or Cash too. Hopefully soon.

Interesting that Sears is "injured"; Qudarius Ford has his HB spot.
Nice to see Waud back.

Armanti Edwards out. He took a nasty hit Saturday. I was surprised to see him come back in the game.
