Winnipeg Toronto Game

Watched parts of this game, a battle of two terrible offenses. The truly sad thing is that Winnipeg's offense under new quarterback Michael Bishop was better than last week under Stefan LeFors. Bishop even looked good for the first half, before the Argos figured him out somewhat. Joseph probably suffered from not having Bruce or Reggie McNeal to throw to. Toronto had chances at the end, including the field goal attempt that was marred by a time count violation. Both these teams have to be considered at the bottom of the league, although their defences are both decent.

Argo second overall draft pick Legare didn't look bad replacing Belli at defensive tackle, so I guess Buffalo signing Corey Mace doesn't really hurt them that much. Toronto running back Jamal Robertson ran well in the second half, until fumbling critically near the end. Sometimes you just roll a one.

That ties the Argos and Bombers at 2 and 3, one game back of the Cats and only two behind Montreal. Looking ahead to next week, Toronto is in Montreal and Winnipeg in Calgary. I would be highly surprised for the visitors to lose both of those games. Opportunity for the Cats to put a little distance between themselves and the cellar dwellers.
