I don't think that football players ever think this way. I don't think anyone will be trying to lay a dirty hit on him but if anything player may smell blood and do their very best to intimidate him and get him off his game with some clean, hard hits. I'm actually a little worried that Collaros due to his concussion situation may get some pity flags from the official for clean hits.

Not a chance. Nobody wants to see anyone get injured, but football is a contact sport and if you have a free shot at the QB, you hit Collaros like you would anyone else. Hard and clean -- nothing more, nothing less.

As it stands, I think there will be a heavy dose of Andrew Harris, and likely a short passing/playaction game for Collaros. Everyone knows he's fragile so Winnipeg would be prudent to keep him upright as much as possible. Having two injured QB's is not a recipe for success heading into the playoffs...

Well i hope our pass rush is just good enough to force the Bombers to stick with predictable plays involving Harris and short passes, and that Collaros doesn't get hit clean and hard. I think the guy is just trying to end his career with some dignity. He deserves that.

Nope. If the man is on the field and has been cleared to play, you trust that and play home like you would any other formidable opponent in a crucial game.

I hope to hell he doesn't take any bogus hits or head shots. I also hope he gets pressured all night and we see some sacks.
GSG.

Almost more players on the field than fans in the stadium in Toronto.

Move the Argos to London.

Contrast that to Montreal where the fans have come back to fill Percival Molson Stadium on the campus at McGill. It's a vocal crowd as well.

Thumbs down to TSN for moving some CFL games off the primary channel.

It’s disrespectful to the CFL. I can’t even get games on high-definition.

Pretty cool as the Canadian kid Michael O'Connor (former QB at UBC) is in for the Argos and just completed his first pass attempt.

lol - O'Connor throws his first TD pass to Rodney Smith and Smith throws it into the crowd. Hopefully, they'll get that ball back for the kid.

Well I had no idea there was a CFL awards show at the Saddledome on November 21st. Even more surprising is the cheapest ticket is $111, with most being $190. Wow.

Unfortunately this is likely a sign of viewership declines rather than TSN just being disrespectful for the sake of it.

Terrible throw by Trevor Harris takes at least three points off the board.
