So White hits a post in one of the most important games of the season... wonder how he will react to that...

If he continues with the mindset that led to the FIFA elite level flop after the kick, its going to be a fun few last games...
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.

TO should have taken control early as they were dominant however they kept shooting themselves in the foot.....then the Lions did it with hitting the goal post on the tying  FG attempt!   Strange game however the outcome was great for us!    This bodes well for resting players that need it and preserving Zach for the WF!    Then throw in two bye weeks and we have plenty of healing time for several players who really need it.    Again we need to be aware of the rest/rust factor however it will give our number 1 and 2 QBs an opportunity to play against BC as well.

V. Adams is not a very good QB overall. He has a strong arm and runs well. Consistency is not his forte. Get to him early ad he will struggle. Lions may have lost another player or two yesterday as well.

We will be playing a very good Calgary team in the WF.....they have one of the best O-lines in the CFL and a strong running attack complimented with great receivers and great quarterbacking.   The only BC has a chance is if Rourke can comeback however that will be a stretch.   Without him BC is very beatable and Calgary should take them without too much trouble.

A Stamp/Bomber WF will be epic!

At the moment I'd expect to be playing the Stamps in the WDF as well. Even if Rourke returns I think that will be the case. Like every season and every game, injuries may determine things. Weather now comes unto play as well.

We saw how close Collaros was to being injured in those two hits later in the game. That can happen play 1 or play 50 for any player.

So stay healthy and get healthy is the prime goal at the moment. Winning both games against the Lions is less critical. Nice but less critical.

Adams has been given plenty of opportunity to progress on multiple teams in his 5 year CFL career, he's been around the block and has yet to prove he qualifies as a reliable starter good enough to build a team around.  He has plenty of talent to work with in BC, but as always his results are too inconsistent.

VAJ isn't a great QB, but he's the best QB that BC has by far. He got his team into FG range to tie the game up, and his kicker let the team down. He hit his receiver right in the hands on a 3rd down and the drop cost the Lions at least 3 points. He did it without Lucky or Burnham and with his O line giving him 2 seconds to throw on most downs.

Heck, if the Lions D simply hadn't jumped off side twice inside the 5, they'd have won the game.

That's true but the Argos are not a great team and they lost 2 of their best players on defence last week.
