    .....7 and even more pathetically, hosting an Eastern Semi Final to a Western opponent who will destroy us......

    I would not be shocked if we DON'T win another game this year. This team is bad and not getting any better. Ray can't throw more then 30 yards and he has no zip on the ball, which will results in lot's of picks

    The last time I checked Ray was #2 in passing yards in the CFL.

    Argos maybe win 2 more games, best chance (Montreal And Hamilton) and that's about it.
    6-12 for the season.

    Edmonton is on a 4 game losing streak and should be hurting after back to back games against Calgary. We host them on the 16th after our bye week. I expect a bounce back from last night's horror show.

    I wish I shared your optimism for this game. Edmonton seems to play well here, and with that losing streak, will be burning for a win to stay in the race in the West. I hope you are right that we bounce back, but I am not holding my breath.

    I voted 7. Will consider us fortunate to win 3 of the last 7. I don't see anything to suggest that we can go on any kind of a tear and win a bunch in a row. Breaks my heart to say it.

    I think the same guys, 3 of last 7 is the upper end, realistically 2 of 7. It is painful to say this after thinking about games like the opener and the Montreal home game but there have been too many duds and self-inflicted wounds, especially in road games.

    They will go 5-2 over the last 7 and finish 9-9.

    I hope you are right. I voted we will win 7 games this year. I think we will beat Hamilton, Montreal and Edmonton once out of our next 2 meetings. We are not as bad as yesterday's game indicates but we are 5th or 6th in the league. Montreal and Hamilton are definitely worse and I think Edmonton is in trouble.
    CFL alive and well all others can go to Hell!

    I think they will win all their home games and beat Hamilton.

    As usual, AV is correct. In fact, he took the words right out of my mouth.
    Chad Kelly + Dan Adeboboye + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force

    Notwithstanding the fact that the Argos do need to improve, I am not jumping off the bridge.

    I am so happy with where this team is headed. Compared to last season, and right into January, we are doing very well. Kudos to Popp and Trestman for the job they are doing, especially how late they were in getting started. That said, I can't realistically say they will beat any of the western teams, based on what I've seen so far. They just haven't been able to get on a roll despite showing signs of being on the verge of becoming a good team. I really I hope I'm wrong and that they come back from the bye with many of the injured back (especially Butler), and a way for the O-line to protect Ray better (NFL cuts? Something!). Still, beating Hamilton in THF (inferior to BMO, IMHO!), is 50/50 at best, as we've seen and Montreal is a Jekyll/Hyde team that has beaten us this year, so you never know...but we should win those games. So, positive/hopeful me says 9 and 9 but realistic me says 6 and 12. Hopefully that is enough to finish 2nd. Then, on to next season, where I believe we will do much better.

    Exactly the way I feel. The comparison to last year is so off base. When they spiraled last year, they weren't even competitive.

    Yeah, we are in way better shape than a year ago. Give Popp the full off-season to work with, and he'll find new talent to supplement what we have. I assume Trestman might also make some changes to the coaching staff when he has the luxury of time to work with, and more coaches available than was the case after he was hired.

    They are still playing hard, the last part of 2016 they basically mailed it in.
    Way more talented team this season on all sides of the ball, critical areas need improvement (O-Line, D-Line depth).
    Considering the timing of Trestman and Popp coming in they have done a commendable job, both guys have been successful in the past so I'm sure they are far from satisfied with losing.
    I agree more changes and upgrades all around this off season.
    Aggravating part is this team is pretty close to being a very good team but aren't quite there yet.

    Correct answer, Argos win 3 of final 7. How could it be more, when 5 of those 7 are against Western teams, and the
    Argos are oh-for in 2017 vs. the superior West.
    HOWEVER I can't see them going oh-for-ten vs. the superior West, they must win at least one game, right??
    Plus another game coming at THF, and we all know how well they play there.

    Argos had to have this LD game, against a backup QB and a rookie Head Coach, it was a must before the bye week.

    As I predicted here in June, after Fan Day, their 2017 record will be 7 and 11, specifically 7 and 10 going into the
    season-ender in BC, tied for second place in East. A win or tie in BC gets them 2nd place and a home playoff game (first one since 2012),
    but they lose, and end up 3rd in the East in a tie-breaker = no playoffs again. Mark it down.
