Yes , Hamilton are a good team. I said that at the beginning of the season that HAMILTON and Toronto would battle for first.
However , while I am glad that Hamilton and Toronto are playing well for the good of the league , I think that some Hamilton fans , are just a bit too cocky at this point of the season.
Hamilton , got destroyed by SASK. , in their first game at home and then you could say that they got lucky in , SASK. after a horrible 19 point choke by SASK. SASK. , second choke game in a row.
Hamilton , also got beat by B.C. , which the ARGOs play this , Monday.
Remember , this article says that Toronto and Hamilton are tied for first in the East [regardless of any tie breaker] , they have the same record.
Maybe you should write to the National Post and correct them.
I didnât say that the ARGOS were the best team in the league.
The B.C. coach did and the article does show that Toronto has some pretty good defensive stats.
HAMILTON , has had a lot of point scored against them , after all.
I think he had bloodshot eyes and a mouth full of Doritos when he said this though.
Toronto is a well coached team that's rounding into form and presents huge challenges in all 3 aspects. That said, I am not sure you can say flat out that anyone is the best team in the CFL right now. Sask has been in every game, Hamilton seems to score at will, and BC could be 5-0 but for a couple of self-inflicted gunshot wounds to their collective feet against Sask and Edm.
There are several really strong clubs.....but I'm not sure who "the best" really is just yet.
The ARGOS play Hamilton 3 more times and they have the same record as 4 other CFL teams , including , Hamilton.
Do you even read the article?
The question I have is why are you taking this so seriously? :lol:
You knew that posting the article would get people talking (you said so in the final line of your initial post) and you knew most people would scoff at it (and I should note that everyone but you has scoffed at it). If your intention wasnât to spark discussion and dissent, why did you start a thread? Do you want to discuss why the Argos arenât the best team in the league or do you just want to throw out meaningless statements about seriousness.
And the Argos and Cats may play three more times, but since none of us own a time machine, we donât know how those games will turn out. At this point, it is nearly impossible for anyone to argue that Toronto is better than Hamilton, let alone better than Hamilton, Saskatchewan, Edmonton and BC.
But where does it say that anyone is disagreeing with YOUR opinion? The thread is titled âAre the ARGOS the best team in the CFL?â and people are answering that question. What kind of answers did you think youâd get with a title like that?
Also, nowhere did tc23 or anyone else mention you in their post. Why do you assume they are disagreeing with you or are talking to you?
I agree. All this talk about how this team could very well have this record and that team could very well have that record is dumb. A team is what their record is, not what fans think it should be.
As for the Argos being the best team, I doubt it. Theyâre a good team, but itâs far too early, and thereâs too much parity. Five teams are at 3-2 and another two are at 2-3. I think weâve seen that any team can win. âŚexcept for the Bombers, who are 1-4.
The B.C. coach is giving Toronto respect [there is merit] on what the Argos have done of late; Thatâs the way I read and understood it in the article. Are the Argos the best team in the CFL; play the games as the season goes forward. Hamilton is playing good ball, Eskimos on Defense, but not so on Offense, Sask. plays good football, but the two game collapse comes down to maturity in a young defense so to speak/and or Richie Hall.
