GA Russell Posted August 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 We are now at the mid-point of the season, so let's take a look at the standings. https://www.cfl.ca/standings/ We know that three teams will not make the playoffs. Toronto and BC have each won only once. Ottawa has lost six of its last seven. Unless another team collapses because of injuries, I have to think that we already know who won't make the playoffs. So this should allow the fourth West team to cross over. I expect that to be the Riders. I think there have been two big surprises thus far. The first has been that BC's o-line has been terrible. The Lions' free agent signings over the winter made them look like a powerhouse. But they are the worst in the league in allowing sacks, and that's a mark of a really bad team. The second surprise is that the Als have become competitive. The credit has been given to Vernon Adams, Jr., but he hasn't been doing it by himself. Today it appears that Montreal will host a playoff game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's look at the standings and "the all-important loss column." https://www.cfl.ca/standings/ BC has 10 losses. Toronto and Ottawa have 9 losses each. The next worst is Edmonton at .500, 6-6. So the Lions, Argos and Redblacks need to win every game from now on. The Lions and Argos are playing their best football of the season now, but it's too much to hope for six game winning streaks!
