CFL Week 19 Picks
Posted by: | CommentsLast week of the regular season. Myself and CFT contributor, Colin Folk, are tied at .500 in our season series in picking games. Not great. But in this unpredictable CFL season, I am happy with that. But with 4 more games, than the playoffs, it is going to come down to the wire. Read More→
CFL Week 18 Picks
Posted by: | CommentsTwo weeks left of regular season ball and both I and CFT contributor Colin Folk are above .500. In this “you never know” season of the CFL, I would call that a victory. And being only one game behind Folk in the season series it is time to take a couple of chances and make up ground. (Although I feel really good about the chance I’m taking this week.) Read More→

Copeland Is Not Upset, Yet
Posted by: | CommentsWithin the disappointing Toronto Argonauts season, the biggest disappoint may be the production from Jeremaine Copeland.
Copelands numbers are down and is getting very few catches per game as pointed out by Bill Lankhof of the Toronto Sun. His targets are also down.
The easiest reason to point at is the quarterbacking situation. Cleo Lemon, Dalton Bell and Steven Jyles have combined to bring the Argos into last place in passing yards per game in the CFL.
Copeland is not surrounded by very good targets in Toronto either that could help to draw attention away from him.
But really, is Copeland drawing a lot of attention. At 34, Copelands best days are behind him. With strong quarterbacking, Copeland can still be a good complimentary receiver.
But everyone, the Argos included, should temper their expectations for production from Copeland.
Buck Pierce Will Not Dress vs Alouettes
Posted by: | CommentsNobody expected Buck Pierce to play the entire season. And considering the beatings he has taken all year it is remarkable he made it to week 13.
But Week 13 is were it ends. The Bombers released their depth chart for Week 14 and Pierce does not appear.
The rib injury Pierce has been dealing with has become to much to play through and Pierce will sit out against the Alouettes.
Alex Brink will make the start for the Bombers with Justin Goltz dressing as his backup.
Not the news Bomber fans wanted to hear coming into a big East division matchup.
But it could be worse. Michael Bishop could be your quarterback.
Oh, wait…
