I'm still trying to figure out why Kelly not starting is a bad thing. We are more likely to win this game.

Argos will be playing a bunch of back ups which gives us the advantage. Now we just have to use it and come away with a win. Don't really care how or why we do it, just do it. 1st place race is too close.

Now knowing this we have got to win handily! We always seem to respond with real vengeance after a disappointing Road loss then Returning home for the next tilt.
The boys should be extra fired up! I hope we see another blood bath!!!

Gotta win tomorrow. Letting the Lions get back into the hunt for top spot with that loss to the Ti-Cats two weeks ago is a bad look as it is.

Looks like its Hansen,and Jeffcoat in, marou and haba out for this game.
Was hoping we'd have Haba in to spell the Jeffs.Seems like coaches don't think as much of him as we do.

Good to get Hansen back. We'll see how quickly he gets up to game speed and what his performance will be like after a year off. The bigger concern is whether his body and head will be in tune with the physical recovery.

There is always some concern about a re-injury in returning. Get past this game and he should be good to go longer term.

Not the way we play against backups lol

Mind games by the Argos.

If they lose, they played backups and it does not really mean anything.

If they win, they are easily the best team in the league.

Count me as one that feels it is a huge mistake by the Argos to start resting guys, especially on offence, this early. My objection isn't because it's bad for the CFL, or that it's bad for the Toronto market. Nothing is going to make the Toronto market any better short of the Argos joining the NFL. My reasoning for stating it's dumb is coming from many years coaching offences and football. Momentum, execution, and motivation are everything in football and moves like this can rob a confident team that is executing well and is motivated to win of all these parts.

I feel like the rests will be short lived after they sustain a couple of losses, but if I were the coach and I own a 12-1 record, I'm resting guys only in the final couple weeks when the rest really matters. Saving guys from injury is a cop out imo. There is no saving guys from injuries. They happen, and will happen, whether you shelter them or not and taking their mental edge and preparation rhythm away is just as risky as letting them play.

I can see Dinwiddie's logic, if I was coach I'd rest players who need it now and go full on 2 games before the playoffs so they regain their rhythm as a team.  The week off for the winner of the division is not always an advantage as it gives them too much time to think about the game.

Agree. Was hoping they would only us JJ94 on a number of key downs.

I am 100% against sitting players.

I hate it when we've done it the past few seasons and I don't think it's a good idea for the Argos.

But, c'est la vie.

Why is everyone complaining that we are being handed an easier game?
