I agree. I think we are good enough. One observation: Both Hamilton and Saskatchewan were successful against the Argos in limiting Wilder Jr when they assigned a linebacker to spy him, and essentially go where he goes. I hope that Trestman and the coaching staff come up with some wrinkles if Calgary does the same.
Like Wobbler, I'm just hoping for an entertaining game. I think there's a chance that we can win, with Calgary it's either they kick butt or choke. My only real concern is that they choked last year, so the odds that they'll do it again aren't the greatest in our favour.
However, as Lloyd Christmas famously said............
Eliminate mistakes & turn-overs = Argos win.
They have a better offence than the Stamps; and the Stamps have a pretty good D, but so do the Argos.
Getting beat on special teams play - getting out-kicked badly, or allowing big returns - is a bit of a concern, IMO.
I'll predict a pretty close game.
Argos by 6: Argos 25, Stumps 19
The weather forecast suggests that it will be very cold on Sunday, but not (significantly) snowy.
Should be fun and you never know, they might be able to pull it off. Argos are wearing blue helmets. I wonder if they are wearing the white jerseys since Stamps wore white last year, does anyone know?
My heart says Argos win but my head says Stampeders win. However, the Argos still have a chance if the offence can move the ball fairly consistently.
Stamps are wearing white jerseys, red pants. Presume we will wear the all-blue look again altho I'd still love to see white pants.

I personally don't think they have a bad combination. I have never disliked any Argos unis with the exception of those stupid jerseys they wore in '95 with the huge Jason and shield logo on the front of the jersey and small numbers on the upper left just below the shoulder. Hate those, as I did the 3rd jersey a couple of years ago with the big A logo on the front and again the small numbers.
It's us vs the rest of the country
I agree that logo is embarrassing. I don't like the football boat logo either, looks it was created by someone on a cocktail of hallucinogenic drugs. I love the plain A, but the A with the bolts is tied for the best logo in all sports. It's just perfect. I love the all white kit. It makes the Argos look like stormtroopers. Er, competent stormtroopers.
As for the big game I have zero expectations. I learned my lesson last year's Grey Cup. Anything can happen. Who knows? Maybe the game won't finish because they ran out of balls again. You never know. I do wish we were playing Kevin Glenn again, because that man is a tire fire in important games.
