I think Allen bumped into Dinwiddie and he took exception. As I said on X, who really cares? Men blow up all the time and then make up/forget about it shorty after. I actually don’t mind it at all, shows they really care about something. We all remember our former smiling “aw shucks” QB after every INT.

That has got to be one of the ugliest wins in recent history. Even with a QB as effective on sneaks as Streveler, I was stunned that O'Shea didn't go for the FG and force the putrid Argo offence to move the ball into scoring position. I also thought his PI challenge on the pick six would be successful. The defence, especially the D-Line, was stout. With the way the offence is playing, we can't count on teams imploding the way Winnipeg did and expect to win many games moving forward.

Who the hell do you start at QB for the next few weeks?
Whoever they decide on needs to get the full starters reps in practice. Splitting starters reps does little to get either QB ready to start. I would start Arbuckle despite the fact he wasn’t great last night. At least he challenged down field, although I am intrigued to see what Scott would do.

No clue.

Former FAN 590 personality Howard Berger tweeted about it, but I haven't seen any others discuss the matter.
Wait….are you saying Howard Berger made a negative tweet? I am shocked, stunned and amazed.

Don't know if this is true, but according to twitter one of the offensive line was going after Dinwiddie for his Mickey Mouse play calling and suggested Dinwiddie should wear contacts instead of glasses!!! :D I would have to agree that Dinwiddie's play calling was pretty bad last night!!
Never believe what idiots on twitter say. Every play call has options. If the QB is not taking the best available option, or if that option is not there, it’s not on the play call.

As long as a water bottle isn’t thrown at a teammate, I agree. Stupid Speedy B.

From my vantage point watching the game in my dank smelling basement, it appeared Dejon Allen had ticked off Dinwiddie.
Someone on Twitter said that Allen shoved another coach which is why Dinwiddie went ballistic. Howard Berger doesn't like Dinwiddie, for some reason, so he used the opportunity to take another potshot at him.

That was my thought as well.

I agree Dinwiddie should make a decision early in the week as to who is starting.... my vote goes to Arbuckle as well. Although he did not play great against the Bombers, he did well against Hamilton. I like Dukes's mobility, but his inability to push the ball down the field is a huge disadvantage.

I don't think Scott should be part of the discussion at this point, especially with Argos being in 3rd place and only 4 points ahead of Hamilton. Quite frankly, he has not impressed me in the times he has taken the field. He may have a strong arm, but he is not mobile, and I don't think now is the time to experiment.
