Shame on those who said MBT's career was over.
I said it.
For the record, I was not one of those people. However it will be interesting to see what happens on Friday.
It's a huge game, so If Montreal loses I fully expect MBT to blame the league, lecture us all on the concept of brotherhood and then refuse to spend time with any of his team mates after the game.
MBT has not looked comfortable in the Jason Maas offence all season, save for one game in Regina where the Riders didn't have legitimate cornerbacks. He has his starting offence against Winnipeg's backups today and hasn't looked good at all. If MBT continues his career after this season, where will be his next stop?
Mtl's o-line was really bad today. MBT definitely did not look even close to comfortable at any time, but he was under siege from a bunch of d-linemen making their first start of the season. The Als undoubtedly ran a vanilla offence so as not to show their hand on anything they might pull out next week, but if their o-line plays like it did today, they will be hard-pressed to win next week even with Alexander at QB.
I am not so good at math... but at this point BC could be cross over team ? Still one quarter to go... CFL really has some interesting turns... too bad its just us die hards that notice some times.... playoffs should be interesting.

The Als, with Alexander at QB and something to play for, will slaughter the Bummers next week, IMO.

Yes, MBT didn't get much help from his o-line today but he has never looked like a good fit in that offence this year.

Ottawa should bring him in to legitimately compete for the starting job. Dru Brown seems unable to play through injuries and cannot be counted on to play a full season. MBT will get playing time in Ottawa. Who will HC and OC be though? Need to get a good scheme. The receiving talent is there and Brown and MBT can throw it.
