Argos at Blue Bombers PRE GAME thread

[BBRT]

Argos know with the home crowd bombers will come out hyped up, thats why their not starting Chad, I expect to see him in by end of first qtr.But big picture wise this is a punk move by Dinwiddie.
The cfl has a chance to showcase a marquee matchup and the argos trot out their backup qb?
Its not good for the cfl or the fans that sold out the stadium.

Sorry but I agree with Dinwiddie's choice here - Game means zero to the Argos so why risk him? And it is not a marquee matchup - it would be if both teams had something to play for but the Argos do not have any reason to make this a marquee match. The bombers yes - they need the win to keep 1st in the West in play.

Long way to go before the cup and Dinwiddlie is playing it smart.

Dinwiddie like his mentor dickenson is always trying to show how smart he is. Sometimes for the sake of the league you need to see the big picture.
This should be a hyped up game  to draw in as many viewers as possible.
The argos have lots of time to rest starters later Some might even call it cowardly

[Pigskin]

Disappointed that TO mite not be playing some of there starters. However, it's also good player management.

[Pete]

Sounds like work load management in the nba which they are now trying to get rid of because its not fair to the fans that bought tickets thinking they were going to see the best players (jn this case Kelly vs Collaros) go head to head especially in the only regular season game since the grey cup

We would and have done the same thing if we have 1st in the division wrapped up.  It?s just smart why risk injury to your stars.  Nothing cowardly about plying the long game.

agreed...too bad the Grey Cup rematch wasn't sooner...marquee game and this happens...

[Horseman]

It was only Monday when their QB2 ran the offence, I would not read too much into this a maybe Kelly was taking a vet day. Let's see if there are any reports from today's practice and moving forward this week. Dinwiddie might be trying to play mind games with the Bombers. I would expect Kelly to play as this is only game #15, a little too early to start resting Kelly.

My first thought is that we are risking our starter but they are not? What is their plan? I hope the officials are on top of any attempt to cheap shot us.

What happened to the days when the GC rematch was week 1 of the following season? I feel like this was how it wad for a while?

Hard to disagree with this and Dinwiddie?s decision. Lets just trounce these ****** ******** and move on.

We are risking our starter because we are a far cry away from taking first in our division.  Argos already clinched first

Dustin Crum, Jake Dolegala and Taylor Powell have entered the chat...

Yes, all #2 or #3 Qbs  and all have beaten us.

So, why has no one offered up the "why give them an opportunity to test a game plan against the full Argo roster" as a reason to rest starters?

Sure, protect starters from injury, but also, we've not played against them this year.  Why give us game film of our #1's against theirs?

Because there is game film on every team already.

Yes. And also the knife cuts both ways.
