Most over rated team in the league by far. And you're right, they are not a playoff calibre team, but make the playoffs in the east because Toronto and Ottawa are soooo bad. Montreal will be tough, but ya, I'd rather play Hamilton than BC or Calgary for sure.

LOL.  I'm watching most of this game after seeing WPG lose, so now I'll root for my pickem (CGY), because we can't possibly win #2 in W.  But normally I'd stick with my "cheer for the East" rule (unless we need a loss for a crossover).

My BLM hatred doesn't override my best-for-WFC stance.  I'm not insane!

Oh ya, there's also the consideration of wanting MTL to have their last game be meaningless -- is there a way this game can seal MTL's fate to 1st or 2nd now or earlier?  And the final consideration that I want to face HAM in the ESF, not an Alexander-bearing MTL.  Save Alexander for the EDF.
Never go full Johnston!

Ferguson said Kenny's son is autistic.  That sucks.

Weird... did we ever get that tidbit of news when he was a Bomber?  Why not?  Sounds like Ted being supportive was a big reason Kenny left?  Ted had all the Kenny bases covered.  No wonder he was good at convincing players to come play for us.

They might if it's vs us!

(Kidding, I'm optimistic we can still pull things together... as difficult as that seems at the moment)

HAM is so high in the E (might still win it) simply because Kelly has been out the whole time and Alexander has been out more than half the time.  Otherwise HAM is clearly a solid 3rd in the E.

If Trevor and VAJ had been out half the season we'd likely be first in the W right now too.  A lot of this is luck of the draw.

You're exactly right. Hamilton being in first has nothing to do with their team being talented, but more to do with the other 2 contending east teams #1 Qb's being hurt. So if you can get by Montreal in the ESF, you're in the GC!! I still think we can come in via the East and win it and play the Riders in the GC, which would be epic!!
