Haha!  Someone finally out-tinfoiled me!  That's some heavy-duty tinfoil you got there.  Pay off the Regina env-can guy to push a warm forecast to sell more tickets and keep people from dumping.  Then come Sunday it's a royal blizzard and -20C.  Hahaha.

Well, anything is possible. 

lol in Regina it can be.

+31C, 11km winds...

My 3 keys to a BB win?

1. Get in MBTs face.
2. Solid pass coverage.
3. Win the kick & return game. Do not giveaway points!

[Pigskin]

Well, the temp. is going up but so is the wind.

I think the key to stopping Toronto is shutting down there running game early and taking away the screen pass.
ST's have to be better than the BC game. Sure, Grant had a great return, but he also made a few mistakes one cost us 7 points and the other field position.
Need to limit the penalties and turnovers. Can't give them any momentum.
OL will have to be rock solid and keep ZC8 clean.

I agree, especially win the turnover battle, if Collaris isn't able to be effective we need to give the defence a chance to be as impactful as possible..that means not giving up field position

The Lawrence Int last game was nice, but it actually cost us some big field position.

Also, Grant caught a punt along the sidelines late in the game that was going out of bounds. With the penalty yardage that would have moved us close to center field.

It also changed the opportunity to use the playbook due to poor field position. In effect the need to be more cautious may have led to the injury to Collaros. If we had taken the ball at the LOS we'd have been at about the 47 yard line instead of the 12 yard line. That would have potentially resulted in giving up a sack instead of trying to risk getting a 1st down.


Obviously that's just pure speculation on my part and I'm not trying to pin that on Lawrence. It's just one of those things that happens in football. Bad field position can change what the offence will try to run. Collaros might have just taken an easy sack than risk getting nailed running.

Anyone know if the CFL Awards ceremony will be available for viewing tonight?  I can't find any mention of it on TSN.

Poor football IQ.  MOS mentioned that on the post game interview.
