Ok guys, I no we are off to another horrible start, 1-5, but what do you think a win for Toronto would do for the team?
If we take a look at the east, we could still be tied in second with two win, aslong as Winnipeg wins later today.
To me, the game on the 7th is the season. If we win in, we're in decent shape for a playoff run. If not, wow, there's another goes another season in the Hammer.

A win over the Argos gives us 4 points. We are then either 2 points behing the Argors (if they beat the 'peg) or tied with Argos and Bombers IF the Bombers beat Argos and then lose their next game.
If you check the standings, by then the West teams will be so far ahead that 2nd place is the only hope for playoffs.
Yes, it is possible that Hamilton will come up with superior records against both the Bombers and Argos over the season while all 3 teams lose to all Western teams but that IS an unlikely scenario.
The Bombers look like they are waking up. Toronto is an unknown because their proven personnel are underperforming. Hamilton's holes are now well exposed. A dispassionate review suggests that our chances are the slightest of the 3 teams.
Arguably the Argo coaching maybe the second worst in the league behind our own. The only team we have out coached was the the Argos. Stubler in my humble estimation is not a head coach.
Well yes, in the east it's still a huge crapshoot looking at the numbers. But we do need to start winning a few more games, we win the next 2 of 3 and we're right in there.
The Argo game is a playoff game. If we win we have a good shot at a playoff spot. If we lose say good bye to Taaffe and pray we can find someone who knows how to work with a young team.
we beat the blue team,everythings hunky dory,all happy like.we’ere back on track.no need to shake things up now. and then the next 4 games? i think weve been through this before in previous seasons.

I think Obie should start looking for a new coaching staff now. Taaffe`s reign is over. I hope that Obie looks hard for a suitable replacement, not just an interim coach. We need a coach that will stay with this team for a long time.
Whoever wins, it will be the Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight versus the Keystone Kops. Despite a 3-3 record, the Argos haven't played much better than the Cats. This should be a real yawner.
