I hope we never have to see it happen but Dru Bown might not be as good as some of these backups we are seeing
Im still not convinced Dru Brown is starter material.....other than his few plays last season where he took over from Zach and made a few first downs....what has he done really?

Kelly again showed he's got a great arm, and can move that offence up and down the field. He's pretty accurate, although seems to have a bit of a tendency to throw high, although sometimes I think he's just putting it where only his receiver can get to it.

He did make a bad decision throwing a lame duck when he was in the grasp, but Zack makes the odd bad decision also. Kelly also exposes himself too much running, and is risking injury. Surprised Dinwiddie lets him run as much as he does. All in all. He's one of the more intriguing story lines this year.

I think we'd need to see him start a handful of games to know what we have in him, and hopefully that's not happening this year. Has not shown enough yet IMO to be considered a CFL starter in waiting.  Be interesting to see what happens if/when he signs with another team next year where he has a better chance to start.

Love the fake punt ...excellent execution

It was inches away from being a no yards.  There was an offside player going up to catch it at the same time.  Didn't he get the memo??  The onside player managed to get higher and touch it first by mere inches.  That other player is gonna get chewed out.

Powell needed to scramble for yards on second down

They said pre-game that Powell has negative hundred-something yards scrambling in his college career.  So I'm not surprised he tried to just sit in the pocket and/or roll out.

When he ran in the second half it was probably only because he saw how crap his OL was and/or how good the TOR DL was.  ;D

Anyhow, he just got an infinity times more (well, that's mathematically incorrect, but you get the idea) his college rushing in his first CFL game, and a rushing TD to boot.

Are they done their bye weeks already?

They did 2 of their 3.  Don't forget the new-as-of-a-few-years-ago 3rd bye.  The fact they had 2 byes in 7 weeks might be part of the reason they look so good so far.  Let's see how they look when they are going down the stretch with no rest.

Of course Hamilton takes a bad penalty...so undisciplined

It was pretty weak.  Timing was good as the whistle had not sounded yet, and it was just a modest shove.  I would say that if you want to call that a penalty you make it a crackback block.  Not an after-the-whistle misconduct UR.

Game had some similarity to the Bomber - Elks game at the end. One score game with 3 minutes and Argos go down field to score the game clinching score. 15 point victory to seal the game.

Argos are very impressive. Lots of talent on that roster which makes life easier on Kelly. That's not to suggest he isn't playing well but the team is solid on all fronts. Put him on the Elks in comparison and he'd be on the IR by now.

AH33 5 carries 9 yards. Wow. Doesn't look good at all. I am wondering if he's not 100% or if he's just done.

He's done. I commented he runs like an old man and another poster said he still runs fine...see what you want to see but the guys done. Time to hang em up.

He is there for playoffs and Grey Cup - that is it.  He will run like a young man in those games with the potential to have won 4 in a row.

Remarkable career but Harris was done a few years ago. Some people are saying we're too loyal or too old, but they made the right call on Harris for sure.

Also heard how Harris is just about to pass Charles Roberts on the all time rushing list which is well deserved. He's earned a place amongst the best.

Also crazy, Harris has played five more seasons thanks Roberts. Charlie racked them up quick.

Not sure if he'll run like a young man, but he's definitely in there for the Cup run. I thought he pulled a rabbit out of a hat when he had the great GC game with us and won outstanding canadian and more or less told the haters to p*ss off in his acceptance speech. I don't think he can do it again, but hoping he survives the season, and gets his shot at 4 in a row. Still a huge AH fan, its just tough to see him perform so poorly when you know for years he was on top of the league. Father time is a cruel and ruthless dude!!

He ran like a young man in last year's championship game...?

The CFL needs to get Toronto fans back. Without a strong Toronto team and fanbase, TSN will not be willing to pay the big bucks the CFL. Especially when there is basically no one else willing to broadcast CFL games. If CBC does do it again, I doubt they will have any cash to spend.
