Last week the Argos brought pain in the rain. This week it looks sunny in Winterpeg. Get your Gin & Juice ready, because Toronto has the opportunity to turn their season around and put themselves ahead of a crossover with a win. This is Nick Arbuckles team for another 6 games at least. The team is starting to play well around him and he is embracing the role.

This could be Nick's team for less than 6 games if Kelly gets pulled early, which very well could happen. I hope Bombers fans are crying in the Rum Hut Friday night. Argos have Winnipeg's number for some reason. Sorry CFL.ca predictors, but the Argos won't go winless the rest of the season.

I hope Chad's back in less than 6, but no indication, evidence, or clarification has been provided yet as to what is happening. Who on CFL.ca have been predicting Argo losses? Everyone's favorite Clabber Girl KC?

Still early in the year, but....An Argos victory would put them in a playoff spot as they would be tied with both the Bombers and Lions with 6 points each. As we know, a crossover team needs to have more points than the 3rd place team in the other division in order to cross over.

I don't think about this until after Labour Day.

Agreed. Just go back to trying to be 1 - 0 each week.

Likely run focused game with Oliveira and Streveler. Not sure why the Bombers went away from that in the second half last Saturday. It was working very well for them in the first quarter. Sort of like last years Grey Cup. They have the best running back in the league and they stop using him right when they need him the most. Head scratcher.

Wynton McManus might be the reason.
