Riders have a tough road game in Montreal next week while the Stamps play the hapless Redblacks in Ottawa. Calgary needs to win their game and get some help from the Als for any remote chance of a home playoff game.

He won't say it in so many words, but he will say that you can't lose the turnover battle by such a wide margin and expect to win the game.

A few weeks back people were throwing in the towel on the playoffs...its not so bad
Pretty unlikely to beat a team 3 times in a row

And yet he will probably come back with Bo against Ottawa next week. The Stamps defense and special teams have played so well that they really don't need an elite QB slinging the ball around as Maier was getting the job done moving the ball down the field. Mitchell's arm and decision making are shot. He's not going to improve the rest of this season so I just don't think you will go far in the playoffs with a QB that's this careless with the ball. It's not fair the the rest of the team that is balling out only to watch the QB turn over the ball over and over. That 2nd INT was horrific but the fact that Bo went back to the well to try that throw again for the 3rd INT tells me you just can't trust his decision making anymore. How could a seasoned veteran QB not know the Riders were baiting him again after the other INT? Just bad.

That game is entirely on Bo “interception” Michell. Pathetic ball control.

i would think that Hufnagel and Dickenson are watching this debacle with Bo and are seriously thinking of moving on from him next year? Maier has shown enough to be given the starter role. you cant continue to pay a guy as much as Bo gets paid which weakens your entire roster and get this kind of QB play. tough decision but one i feel should be made.

If Bo comes back it's going to come with a big pay cut. Will he take one? Maybe but does Huff really want to risk another season on his bum shoulder? I just don't think he can hit on the high danger throws he used to get away with. Personally I would go after Dane Evans as I think in a Dickenson offense he could be really good.

A broken Nichols and no talent looks like a tank but in the CFL there's not really much of a reward for tanking. The Elks became Ottawa West with Redblacks sourced GM and head coach so no surprise that organization is also a mess.

You stole a GC in 2001. It all evens out.

It's sports.
There is no such thing as "evening out"

It is an interesting trade by the Argos though because you have to believe they have Grey Cup aspirations and if the Lawfirm gets hurt, they're pinning their hopes on Antonio Pipkin. Maybe the Argos are running low on cash and that's what prompted this trade.
