This seems like a good bye-week question. We're off to a good start, but how good will our season be?

Huh. Does vbulletin really post the thread while I'm still working on the poll options? Silly vbulletin.

I voted 12-13, and my prediction is 13. It'll be tricky with Ray's absence and we haven't even played Calgary yet, but I like the direction this team appears to be headed.

Sounds about right to me. With some breaks maybe 12.

I'll guess 10-11. Lot of parity in the east right now and about where Argos have been over last little while.

That would be great.

With the parity in the league, it seems like winning 13+ games is a very difficult prospect for anyone right now.

If the league's overall parity continues, the league will be happy as..well...you know.

We should at this point be able to win 10 which is up from my preseason prediction.

8 to 10 wins.

8 to 10 wins.

Come on, go out on a limb and pick a number, not a range of 16.5 percent of the overall schedule.

Argos 10-8

1. Ham @ Tor (L)
2. Tor @ Ssk (W)
3. Tor @ BC (W)
4. Ott @ Tor (L)
5. Mtl @ Tor (W)
6. Tor @ Ott (W)
7. Wpg @ Tor (L)

8. Edm @ Tor (W)
9. BC @ Tor (W)
10. Tor @ Ham (W)
11. Ham @ Tor (L)
12. Tor @ Wpg (W)
13. Tor @ Ott (W)
14. Tor @ Mtl (W)
15. Cgy @ Tor (W)
16. Ssk @ Tor (W)
17. Tor @ Cgy (L)
18. Tor @ Edm (L)

Thirteen wins was an ambitious prediction. After tonight I'm dialing that all the way down to 12.

I'd like to change my prediction to 7 wins. 9 wins was the best case scenario.

17. Tor @ Cgy (L)
18. Tor @ Edm (L)

Thirteen wins was an ambitious prediction. After tonight I'm dialing that all the way down to 12.

Let's look at reality and the way the team is playing right now. Until the end of the season and with the tough schedule I only see 2 more wins possibly a win in Ottawa, but Ottawa will be rested. The Ticats will sweep the series.
The Als will be worse but there will be a West crossover, probably the Bombers in Ottawa.

Tor @ Ham = Argo loss
Ham @ Tor = Argo loss
Tor @ Wpg = Argo loss
Tor @ Ott = Argo loss
Tor @ Mtl = Argo win
Cgy @ Tor = Argo loss
Ssk @ Tor = Argo win
Tor @ Cgy = Argo loss
Tor @ Edm = Argo loss

I picked 8-10. Now I think even 8 is going to be difficult. Looks like a good possibility of a cross over team coming East for the Semi.

Optimism : 8 wins

Tor @ Ham = Argo loss
Ham @ Tor = Argo loss
Tor @ Wpg = Argo win
Tor @ Ott = Argo win
Tor @ Mtl = Argo win
Cgy @ Tor = Argo loss
Ssk @ Tor = Argo win
Tor @ Cgy = Argo loss
Tor @ Edm = Argo loss

Pessimism : 7 wins.

Realism ??? : 6 wins.

But who knows... the team can oscillate wildly. Yes, Virginia, it would be easy to be a Stampeders fan.

Mmmmm..... Last two games of the season are
Calgary and Edmonton ..... If those two have their positions wrapped up they are resting many of their starters and not chancing pre playoff injuries so I say the
Argos have a chance on those . .... So I say 9-9 for the season ..... I'm always nervous with the Ticat games ...l even if the cats were at the bottom of the division the
Argos would find a way to lose to them ..lol. ..... I'm hoping for a turnaround in the psychology of the game this year .

Good point.

I don't have any great record in predicting the future in anything (as do most "futurists") so I'm not even going to try. What I will say is that unless the Argos don't improve their in-game adjustments to what the other team is doing, especially with regard to the Argo offence, they are not going to make .500.
