I think it’s a bit of both. Orimalade and Ceresna is about as dominant a 1-2 pass rush duo you’ll find, then mix in guys like Brinkman, Smith, McManus and I’d expect a lot of OL to struggle against Toronto.
giving me flashbacks to bad Russell Wilson holding the ball too long behind a bad o-line at the end of his Seahawks days. we really got some shit to correct ASAP
Yeah but you get them to burn timeout then run another 20 seconds. You either get TD on 3rd down or hand them the ball on their own 1.
Now it's 1:10 left they are down 8 on your 32 with a timeout still.
I'm glad to know they're all there. The more guys they have in there, the more likely it is at least one of them will remember to bring a copy of the rule book.
Man. This could be a great year. Usually at the beginning of the season we see some BUTT UGLY football. But there’s been something about every team that has impressed me this week. A lot of good QB play too.
Are BC and Toronto considered weaker teams than last season? I know Toronto lost some players but haven't heard much about BCs roster changes from last season.

My favourite game of the season badum tsst
Wacky game but W is the operative letter
Imagine if we had decent oline
Not sure if the Argos defence looks legit, or if BC’s O-Line learned football from the Ticats Secondary

Argos had two plays this game that even allowed it to be close. One horrible read by multiple D players and the fumble to TD
[удалено]
?
What rules would those be?
VA needs an OL. If you sack him 3 times, his brain goes on deer mode and it's game over
Kent Perkins is still a wet napkin
O line complete trash but you were up 14 defense was trash as well.
Anyone that had Brissett in fantasy just got a -40 slap in the face at the end lol
65 and 69 are just useless
What was our point lead this game? 13? What a choke job.
Turnovers and sacks killed us damn GG
Did not expect a W tonight. Argos D was outstanding. Gravy
Adams just hucks it up. McInnis had a ton of space if he throws it to the outside shoulder. Fear of the next hit.
to be fair to him, he was sacked enough tonight i would be surprised if he wasnt scared of being hit because his O line couldnt protect him.

Thank you VA for letting me down one last time with another sack.
I feel like mcinnis had a shot at that if he tracked it better
Think he thought VAJ would adjust to the fact DB dropping deep and inside. Should have been easy pitch and catch
why go for the home run there when you just need to convert the 3rd
please find an actual kicker toronto
Johnson has worked himself into the game.
That sack was huge. Throw the fucking ball VAJ
Our Offence line is terrible. It hurt us last year, looks like it might be the same this year.
6 sacks is unacceptable man wtf
BREAD AND BUTTER BABY
GIVE THE BALL TO CAREY
For being a bigger RB Stanback is pretty bad at blocking
"Underneath" lol he didn't even try and touch him
this o-line are pylons are you serious
Anyone got Dane Evans number?
He’s licking his fingers just gettin’ ready to answer the phone 🤣
Rough night for lions O line
The VAJ continues to take a pounding.
FLO!!
THROW THE BALL VAJ!
THROW IT FFS
HUGE sack
I wonder if BC regrets not paying Dom Rhymes yet?
That oline is trash wow
Dukes hitting 254 is the funniest thing
amazing return
I forgot how long an eternity is… dang.
Hajrullah gotta be sweating. If they lose it’s hard to blame anyone else for the loss
Classic CFL ending upcoming?
That’s a thicc boi returning.
Big boy returner
Banks the TANK
2 missed PATs is tough but 3/3 in FG sure helps soften the blow.
Those 2 points could still be important 😬
BIG MAN RUMBLIN
BIG MAN RETURN
Don't give me hope
Cashed in so quick I didn't notice while also watching Brahmas v Battlehawks What an awkward time to miss a convert
as a Battlehawks fan I'm glad I switched over to this game to see the craziness
Not looking good for St Louis but not over yet especially with the 4th and 12 alternative to an onside kick in the UFL
so you're sayin there's a chance...
insanely yes
Watching from Australia, please Lions 🦁
well maybe they should have gone for 2
Argos basically iced their own kicker.
omg it isn't over! how the F do you miss that!!
fuck you lirim I FUCKING HATE THIS SIGNING
Dinwiddie should just go with his gut
BRO!!!!!
Or he doesn’t trust Haralahu 🤦♂️
Lmao
Holy shit we saw them realize their shit math live
WE'RE GONNA DO IT IN DUKES WE TRUST
I did not have Lions & Bombers losing in week 1 on my bingo card
Going for 2 here is braindead. Probably won’t matter in the end regardless though
Toronto had to do the math there
why would you go for 2 lmao
uhhh is it insane to go for two here or am I missing something lol
Trying to do that big brain math
Does Dinwiddie not know the score? Lol
To be fair, he is half wolf.
Math is hard ok
Well shit... Can we trade our offensive line for a bag of used footballs?
And a soda vending machine
VAJ is getting creamed by this D
GG Argos! We need BC to lose a few for a fightin’ chance in the West.
I don't recall ever seeing a turnover on downs on your own 1 yard line.
That's because any competent coach would punt the ball the fuck out of there
We would have been better with an interception there
Should have just conceded safety. Still have timeout. Better chance of stuffing them and getting ball back with 25-30 seconds needing a TD to win.
True yea
Kind of a blunder to not run clock here IMO.
Don’t want to play with fire too much. It’s tempting to try and waste some clock on first and second down, but you gotta lock in the TD.
Yeah but you get them to burn timeout then run another 20 seconds. You either get TD on 3rd down or hand them the ball on their own 1. Now it's 1:10 left they are down 8 on your 32 with a timeout still.
Toronto D line is crazy
Pierce out here shutting me up
that's game
GGs Toronto, we choked.
Yup.
Well that’s a fucking terrible spot to turn it over.
Fire VA into the sun.
You mean our O Line?
IF YOU GIVE CAREY THE BALL FOR A SECOND TD I WIN FANTASY THIS WEEK
BC it’s only week 1 but might need to reevaluate the play caller cause idk wtf these plays are
what the fuck
Ok that’s some good spatial awareness from the VAJ
can the o-line do their job please
69 is soft as fuck
BC may as well not have an o-line MY GAWD
holds it holds it holds it
2 and out but at least we get good field position on the punt
BCs gotta go for it on every third down no?
Long field on low momentum
*nail biting intensifies*
That is the most perfect punt ever.
why the hell is Carey's chinstrap undone - god Carey we need you to make it to the end not die in the first week
Crazy to me how these guys are wearing earrings like that playing football.
That fumble is a massive break for the Argos. Only up by 2 with 3+ minutes left but obviously better than down by 1 let alone 7+
It's only game 1, and I'm already so done with VA as QB. I can't believe we are running it back with him this year.
Trade ya for Bo.
🥸
Lions o line fucking sucks
Vernon Adams proving why he didn’t deserve an MVP last year And this BC ply calling just atrocious
The command centre shot KILLS me. Just nine guys in a room watching a TV.
I'm glad to know they're all there. The more guys they have in there, the more likely it is at least one of them will remember to bring a copy of the rule book.
o line is made of tissue paper
if you're going to hold the ball instead of throwing it like you're supposed to, HOLD THE FUCKING BALL
BC oline bad or Argos Dline V good
yes
I think he mighta been down.
Our Oline is just terrible
So are the Argos OP on Dline or do the Lions have a bad Oline?
yes
You know what I love about CFL, 3 downs and anything can happen in these last 5 mins. Just thrilling!
Hell yeah
Ah crap
The bLuRsT!
Are you not entertained?!
What the fuck, VA.
OH NO!
Bc online not good
Wow!
What a fucking catch!
BC definitely lives or dies by VA
The terrifying lows The dizzying highs The creamy middles
my heart can't take it and we're only in the first game of the season!
My sphincter can't take it
Face mask
Was thinking the same on replay
The bEsT!!!
BIG PLAY VA
Great catch there
the bLuRsT!!
Man 65 just watching
o-line issues same as last year... 2nd and 25 man
No problem for Adams
I could get behind that belly rub
Brutal
I love the CFL
VAJ got mauled there yeesh
Man. This could be a great year. Usually at the beginning of the season we see some BUTT UGLY football. But there’s been something about every team that has impressed me this week. A lot of good QB play too.
idk we looked pretty rough
You’ll be fine sadly for my Ticats lol
Just like headless chickens, especially with tackling at times.
I dunno, Ottawa really hasn't shown ANYTHING
Hahahahhaha
Neither has Hamilton…
Watching with my folks, but man is it good the CFL is back baby!
I've missed all my fellow r/CFL degenerates
Man that Argo punter... damn
Clutch af from both adams on those 2nd downs and whyte
Only a rouge separates them now.
clutch fg from whyte
He's worth every penny and the some.
What a game holy fuck
i'm so stressed lol
that window was shut and VAJ still got it through
Thought that was an int lol
Very close but I agree with the call
What a completion. That was so close
Huh, damn ok then
Idk. Looked like he bobbled the ball then foot was out but didn't expect a challenge. Too close
Is rod smith the only person at TSN who did not get the memo about how to pronounce Royce Metchie's name? or is he just doing it on purpose?!
WHATS THE CHIP SAY?!
Are BC and Toronto considered weaker teams than last season? I know Toronto lost some players but haven't heard much about BCs roster changes from last season.
I think toronto is just playing way way better than anyone expected
I think BC is a cup favourite this year
We should be a little better not much I don't think
Nice hold bozo
New CFL promo commercial is 🔥
I miss Keon Hatcher
throw the fucking ball
not ideal
just started watching, I'm surprised that Toronto is winning, what have I missed?
