Quote from: Blue In BC on August 09, 2025, 10:10:53 PMGreat game close by Dru Brown. It's good to see the Argos tanking their season.

I wonder what the deal is with Kelly. He's been out a very long time.

Man, where did that come from?

Quote from: markf on August 09, 2025, 09:39:19 PMMy guess... he made a point of demanding they pronounce it that way.

Wonder how he'd make out in Scotland with that, lol.

Not sure. Vince McMahon probably wouldn't like it. lol

Broke his leg at the end of 2024 in a playoff game IIRC. May have been some ligament issues as well. I think they mentioned that he might not play in 2025 the way things are going and his set back. They didn't call it a setback but he spent the 1st 6 or 7 games on the 1 game IR and then bumped him to 6 game IR.

That must have cost them some serious SMS in not putting him on the 6 game to start the season.

Did they put the metal plate & screws in to fix the break? Docs can screw that up (haha pun). If they take it out it can have issues after. He might spend the rest of his life with metal in there. Had a buddy shatter his lower leg, had all that.

All depends on how bad the break was.

Oh ya, and it was on a scramble/run

See, running QBs get creamed, I don't care what the stats say! Zach will never take an injury like that standing in the pocket!!

Quote from: Sir Blue and Gold on August 09, 2025, 09:50:14 PMAre both these defenses trying their very hardest not to cover anyone?

It was really pathetic, wasn't it. Busts everywhere. Braincells had all fallen into the new turf as rubber marbles.

Those secondaries may be worse than ours with Bridges in!

This game shows why you don't start going for 2PAT so early in the game. Both teams got into a "we must get 2PAT!" rut and got completely stuck there! I think by the end each team had lost 2-3 pts by not taking the kick instead.

I think each team went for 2PAT 3-4 times and each team got it once? (Or maybe 1 team got it twice?)

MOS would never make that mistake. And now we see why.

All these close games are really screwing with everyone's picks. It's a free for all and the result has no rhyme or reason.

Mmmm I like turkey

Coxie a massive complete bust for fantasy players. 4 points this week vs 40 last week. A lot of us got suckered into taking him.

Just like Kenny after his 44 point game! Nada every week since.

I was watching what they were doing to Coxie and it was just like Kenny: double coverage all night. I guess that's why so many other TOR RECs were wide open making OTT DBs look foolish.

Tough to know when to pick the superstars for fantasy, or know when a team will just double them. I guess some teams believe in blanketing the star, and others (like us) just play "normal ball". I guess that's why Coxie smoked us for 200Y and 3TD!

The crazy thing is, a last minute play here or there and you'd be 4-4. Unreal lead changes this week, big leads evaporated in Ottawa (21 point behind) and Calgary games (17 points behind)?no lead is safe in any game
