What a wacky season so far-the Grey Cup Champs of last year are sitting in the cellar. Eskimos can not get anything going-but their coach may be going very soon. You have to have a scape-goat and it is usually the coach. Some very bad calls in the past 2 games have been costly. Watch for changes to be made mid-week.

Red hot Alouettes are 7-0 and #1 in the East hands down.Every aspect of their game is top notch. From leadership to defence to special teams and an incredible offense-the accolades can go on and on. If A.C. stays healthy they are the next Grey Cup Champs for 2006!

The Lions have had a so-so season and just come off a very big win over the Eskimos at home. Dickinson was hurt so little Bucky came in and blew the visitors away-literally. B.C. is #1 in the West so far.

Calgary was touted as the team to beat this year but they too have had their struggles. They are 4-3 so far and just came off a win at home to the Roughriders. Joffre Reynolds is explosive with his running game picking up over 100 yards per game this year.

Saskatchewan is 3-4 this year with the always unpredictible Kerry Joseph. When he is good-he is very very good. When he is bad........... Overthrowing is his downfall and his receivers are having trouble hanging onto the catches. Special teams are not so special and penalties are just killing the whole team.

Winnipeg-what a cinderella story this year! Milt Stegal is the incredible WR of the decade, breaking records left and right. Kevin Glenn has found his stride and is connecting with Stegal and company on a consistent basis. The defense is second only to Montreal and at times even better. Unfortunately both Glenn and Stegal have been hurt this week and hopefully they can heal quickly.

Toronto is just a shadow of their former selves. It is indeed a humbling situation for the once mighty Argos. Damon Allan is 43 and maybe should think seriously about retiring. Ricky williams is hurt and may be gone for the rest of the season. Running game is shot. Recievers can not catch a cold. Spergon Wyn is playing hurt. This year is probably a wash.

The Ti-Cats were expected to be faster than a speeding train and jump high buildings this year. No super heroes to be found. Just players struggling to stay alive. So far they are 3-5 but the matchups only get harder from now on. New coach Ron Lancaster has been a bit more effective than the previous coach but it still comes down to performance on the field. Still a ways to go for this team. Maybe next year.
