Arbuckle over 400 yards passing and there is still 10 minutes left

Arbuckle over 400 yards passing and there is still 10 minutes left

He's on track for over 5000 yards on the year

[J5V]

I'd fire Benevides at the conclusion of this game.

[The Zipp]

holy head snap - wicked hit by mcmanis

rourke just wants to go home

[bunker]

BC playing a 4 American O line...Woodruff brain dead in that sack and fumble

[bunker]

BC's run defense might be worse than their secondary

[Pete]

Doesnt say a lot about the lions when you see them just give up. The leadership on this team esp defense has been an issue for several years

[The Zipp]

great win by the argos!!!

[J5V]

Benevides should go straight to the office and start cleaning out his desk, then send an email to Mr. Doman apologizing for the state of the Lion's defense. If he's not embarrassed after today's performance giving up +50 points to a 2 win team then the man has no pride.

[Blue In BC]

Giving up 52 points going into their bye. That's going to bite. Argos did the Bombers a solid.

The failed Masoli sneak on 2nd down in the 3rd: I'm nearly positive he wasn't touched, so not DBC.  That's why he crawled on the ground to get the TD reach.  I think it was a TD.

The only touch that might have occurred is the very last second at the GL just before he got that ball across.  I'll have to re-check later.  I'm hoping command was looking into it ("potential score") during the long Cottoy injury timeout.

Doesn't matter, as Butler did the flying TD on 3rd... but this is not the first time this year refs have mistaken friendly-fire tripping as an opponent-touch and DBC.

[TecnoGenius]

surprised Buck Didn't try to get that into FG range. 

Completely shameful.  You have Rourke and all the REC weapons and like 38s and you don't try for a few shots?  Maybe Buck learned that from MOS, the king of conservative play calling in this situation.

[TecnoGenius]

Is Arbuckle slowly turning into a decent starter?

No.  He is a 0.500 backup on a decent team.  So, basically a Strev who can throw instead of run.

If you had a league-top team, Arbuckle would be good, sure.  Put Arbuckle in SSK and he'd do well right now.  My favorite analogy is he's a lot like Matt Nichols, though Matty was better on the deep ball before his Lemonation.

Someone else mentioned the OC/HC... ya, Arbuckle also needs an OC who is tailoring things just for him.  Basically a genius QB Whisperer is required.

[TecnoGenius]

Yes, this guy is perfectly capable of playing some good ball as a QB. It doesn't look like such a fluke now that he beat us in the Grey Cup.

That's recency bias.  Only because he's looking good in this game are people saying this.  He's been pretty darn useless most of this season.  Keep in mind he lost a game to us when we were sucking badly with bad DBs.  His record this season is horrible.

Sure, his team is crap too, but the top QBs will lift your team up into wins.  He didn't win the GC, their D did and their razor-claws DL did.  The more I see TOR play this season the more I think we win that cup if Zach doesn't get hurt.  It was still close, even though we were being outplayed.  We would have found a way.

The key tell will be once the QB injury situation is settled Arbuckle will not be starting anywhere.  But clearly he'll be valued as a backup.  I'm not sure TOR will let him walk.

"when i retire and turn 75 i want to get a job holding the yard markers in the cfl." 

That's why they're trained to drop that sucker and run for the hills the first sign of anyone coming their way.  Not sure why he was still standing there... guess at 75 your reaction time is impaired...

It's often the camera or mic guy getting creamed because they mostly hold their position.
