Will there be an Eastern crossover?

Likely there will be an Eastern x-over, but that is up to Montreal. It is theirs for the taking.

Montreal is still in the hunt in the East, two games back of Ottawa and one game back of Toronto with 3 games to play against those two teams. I’d rather Toronto crosses over since they have no stadium and hardly any fans left.

…since they have… hardly any fans left.

Sucks but its the truth. Sadly its not the team’s or fans fault but it is what it is.

the question now is WHO will be the eastern crossover. I predict argos.

Depends on how well Ray comes out of the gate. But considering how well the Als have played against the better teams. I give them a good chance against the Argos.

With Collaros potentially out for the rest of the regular season, it’s could be Hamilton…

naah, they slip to 3rd at the lowest, but I still see them in a tight race for first. look how well ed did without reilly, and none of their QBs did well.

I want Montreal to cross over so that the Eastern half of the bracket serves as a Provincial Championship.

[GreyDragon]

While I think there is likely to be an east team crossing over this season, I don't understand why many here assume that that team will be Montreal.
The Als are only 1 game behind the Argos and only 2 behind the REDBLACKS with 7 games to play.

[Vermonter]

The Argos have a cake schedule with Calgary as the only sure fire loss looming and all but two of the remaining games at home.

Of course they all have fairly manageable schedules due to the fact that they are all playing each other a bunch of times, but the Argos get to basically sleep in their own beds the rest of the way.

Well…Assuming they don’t need to move the games out TOO far…

Don't bet the house just yet. BC has been Jeckyl and Hyde this year and could still take thirdas could Winnipeg with Nichols. Montreal has been just as good/bad as the others and don't necessarily have an easy schedule. It's going to come down to the final weekend between these three before it's decided and I wouldn't bet a nickel on even one of them to be one of the teams out of the playoofs just yet.

Je ne crois pas.

Les Alouettes sont en déroute et même les Lions devraient les surpasser cette saison.

Les Alouettes vont jouer sans Cato quelque temps encore, donc, autant dire que les Alouettes n’ont pas de quart-arrière. Si vous connaissez une équipe qui peut gagner sans un quart-arrière digne de ce nom, dites-moi laquelle, mais les Alouettes ne gagneront pas beaucoup de parties avec Crompton, Marsh ou Bridge. J’aurais aimé que Popp tente d’aller chercher Nichols, mais il a laissé le champ libre à Winnipeg.

I think you make a good point, but I think the Als have a good enough defense to squeak by on a lot of these games. I think the bigger issue is the Lions have a vicious scheduale moving forward that is going to knock them out and Winnipeg and the Als have a very similar schedule in terms of difficulty, and the Als need to overtake Winnipeg, and that is what will slam the door in my eyes.

I will say this, if you keep playing Marsh, you aren’t going anywhere. There’s a reason why the Al’s got LeFevour in the off season.

Translated:

Je pense que vous faites un bon point, mais je pense que les Alouettes ont une assez bonne défense à grincer par un grand nombre de ces jeux. Je pense que le plus gros problème est les Lions ont une scheduale vicieux aller de l'avant qui va les assommer et de Winnipeg et les Alouettes ont un horaire très similaire en termes de difficulté, et les Alouettes ont besoin de dépasser Winnipeg, et qui est ce qui va claquer la porte à mes yeux.

Je dirai ceci, si vous continuez à jouer Marsh, tu ne vas nulle part. Il ya une raison pourquoi le monde a Al LeFevour dans la saison morte.

Well, after that performance by Winnipeg, and how good Ottawa seemed to play, I’m far less inclined to think they are going to manage to shut the door on the Als.

Yes they could still easily be third, but third in the west won’t cut it alone. They need to catch Montreal or Toronto and at this point I don’t see that happening barring either the Argos or Als sustaining a sudden rash of serious injuries.

Toronto and Montreal still have not met. They play twice. If they split those 2 games, there will be a x-over for sure.

Glenn is available. Make your offer! Come, I will buy you lunch and a beer. We will talk.

Right now I would be inclined to think that the crossover team will be the Argos. The Alouettes although it was only the Bombers they defeated yesterday,they looked like a team on the rise and were very dominant in their victory. The Als and Argos have yet to play each other this season and you would have to think that whoever takes this 2 game series will wind up in 3rd in the East or even 2nd if the Cats falter without Collaros which is more then likely. If you ask me at this moment the Als are playing way better ball then the Argos and are the better team between the two. I could see the Alouettes making some noise in the playoffs this year and it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see them playing in this years Grey Cup. I honestly can't see either of the Bombers or the Lions at this stage making the playoffs this season the way both have been looking lately.

I confess that I haven’t even dared to look at that one million paged thread.

What’s the skinny on that situation down the stretch?

GM PDog is perfectly willing to let you overspend on a MLB no matter how Canadian he is. GM PDog will find the next Rennie Curran or Greg Jones or Khalil Bass in some FA camp in Mississippi or Louisiana or Kentucky or Texas in Feb or March and sign him to league minimum and beat you and your awesome team that has no cap space for a decent QB.
