July 18th 2012: Winnipeg Blue Bombers vs. Toronto Argonauts

[IAMARG]

You can say they would be similar to BC. Except nothing is clicking with that team. As well as, they are completely depleted on the defensive side of the ball. Not to mention the lacklustre offense. They are no BC.

Buck Pierce will miss the game, so Alex Brink will be the starter. http://fftimes.com/node/253148

The Bombers are claiming Brink did not suffer a concussion in the last game. However, he sure looked groggy to me after the hit that took him out of the game. You do not have to be knocked out in order to suffer a concussion. I hope the Bombers are right because a quick second concussion can be devastating. Otherwise, he may be susceptible to another concussion after returning so soon. Therefore, I would not be surprised to see Joey Elliott.

I am in a quandary. Staying at a cottage for the week with no TSN. Do I wait until Saturday to watch game at home on PVR, or go to local bar and watch it there.....I know I can avoid the score until Saturday but not sure if I have the patience.

[Nob]

Have fun at the bar.

Nothing better than a bar in cottage county. I can't wait to live in cottage country. No driving because you friggin live there. I wish we could snap our fingers and be outa here.

Maybe KC you should get the Argos kicking job and play by play for TSN. You could run down out of the booth to kick and have a mike to talk during the play. Afterward run back up and continue your TSN job. haha.

haha, that would be awesome. I wonder if that's what heaven is like? haha

Tape the game, and watch when you get back. Bars are cool, but being up north, whether at a cottage or camping, is the ultimate experience.

If in doubt, watch the game at a bar up north, totally pissed, then watch again when you get home, half pissed.

Can't go wrong.


EDIT : You don't drink?

Well then, never mind.....


Enjoy yourself. And try not to step into a lobster trap. Cheers !

Never a bad time to start drinking. hahaha. You can actually watch a game at a bar and drink pop (soda for Americans) ice tea, water and have a bite. Still fun.

Argos to Host Blue Bombers in Special Wednesday Night Match

Also the depth chart is up now.

[paulwoods13]

Also the depth chart is up now.

20 NIPs are shown, including Alix, so all should dress unless someone (Pottinger?) comes off the one-game IR. Four IMPs will sit, I'm guessing Mann, Kackert, Flemons and Williams.

[Hollaway]

This is a must win game for sure, Winnipeg isn't that good, but Montreal who is next have not impressed me either, so it would be nice if we picked up a couple of wins and went 3-2.

Even better. Free soft drink refills!!!

[tennyis]

are those calendars like a give away promo or does it mean be the first to buy? either way i'm getting me some lol

[Wobbler]

I'm expecting a good performance and a victory against Winnipeg. We did a lot of good things on Saturday, but were humbled thanks to a couple of catastrophes. I don't think that will happen again.

Argos 30, Bombers 17.

[Argoscflguy]

Ya suitor is pretty annoying! Fords doing a realy good job! He's so (white) though!!!!!!? Lmao!

[Do or Die]

For the Bombers...so far, it's been sort of like the perfect storm....

1. Lot of changes, which means some teething pains in terms of continuity....unless, of course it its also accompanied by a truck load of injuries, making the lineup looking like a fire drill in places - that 1st game roster against the Lions, simply looked like exhibition game #3. Probably won't see anything resembling the A lineup, until game 6, or so.....hope we can eek out some wins, till then....

2. The Pierce situation - takes the #1 practice reps, hobbles around, knocked out early in games...and has created ongoing uncertainty....change of games plans and shiffling of QBs, etc. On top of that, is the ole incessant "will he or won't he" before a game, after, and before entering the next one....many of us are growing weary of this stuff.....With the lower body injuries, Buck has appeared to lose some of his scramble ability. I am actually relieved he is out for a while - Brink and Elliot aren't that bad....

3. Lapo - yeah, he got a tough hand so far, this season....but some of the question marks, from the last couple of years - team getting off to brutal starts, passive over-all approach and occasional questionable on-field decisions....have not appeared to resolve themselves.....people are really starting to wonder.....

4. How to make a lack of stability and continuity even worse, to start a season? Play the first 4 on the road, including opening in BC/Montreal, with a total of 7 practices for the month... (special thanks to Bomber front office)

For the present.....I simply gin and bear it.

Ps - how does one get rid of that "Argo fan" thing, by my username.....
