Who knows if it's correct, but a forum on riderfans suggests that Wpg can only finish third or fifth, so the Argos' opponent will be either Calgary or Saskatchewan.

Also, it just had to be Aaron Casey and Luiji Vilain making the biggest plays on Ottawa's defence, didn't it?

I think some in the CFL-universe, including media, overreacted to the loss last night and late-game decision-making by Miller (including calling for his firing). I, personally, hate not going for the TD in that situation so I get where Miller is coming from. Miller also had faith in his defence. Th...

Redblacks released Nick Mardner. We are so, so fortunate they chose him rather than Mital in the 2024 draft.

Lineup changes:

Out: Delaurent (off the roster altogether, it seems), Hicks (1-game), Hickey (PR), Johnson (1-game), Hendrix (reserve)
In: Kelly, Porter, Toomer, Fayad, Bell

My recollection, which may be inaccurate, was that there was optimism based largely on the QB combo of Austin and Graves, and the additions of Fairholm and Climie to the receiving corps. It dissipated quickly IIRC.

Under the old system, the 20-second clock was more like a 40-second clock in reality, because the ref didn't start the 20 until substitutions and other things happened, which often took 20 or even 25 seconds off the game clock.

Not to me. I have been tracking every game -- just offensive snaps. Runs, passes, sacks. We are getting about 109 of those per game this season, up from about 106 last season. I had hoped and expected it would be more like 5-10 extra offensive plays.

Defence was toughest choice IMO. Could make a case for Bolden, Holley or Lemon. But Pickett is clearly the leader, and very deserving.
