Sandra's WK7 CFL Power Grouping

I had a mind blowing experience while drawing this weeks Power Grouping graphic.  The 8 Track tape is called 8 because if you turn an eight sideways it's the infinity symbol and an 8 Track plays forever aka infinity.  * gasp *

I gifted myself a new pack of 36 Staedtler Double Ended markers especially for Power Grouping!

OK.  Fine.  On with Week 7 in the Canadian Football League

A - For the Record

These days vinyl is the cream of the music listening crop.  Scratch that! Cancel the parade in Winnipeg!  The two best teams in the league took on each other and only one could come out victorious and that team was the Hamilton Tigercats.  The Blue Bombers who had a slow start in week 6 came out with a similar mind set and just never got going but also when you have 6 turnovers in a game it's next to impossible to pull out a win.  There's only one team in the CFL who is capable of making multiple mistakes and recovering and that team is the Calgary Stampeders.  Bo Levi remains on the sidelines with Nick Arbuckle under Quarterback.  One thing I've learned is that you can never count out the Calgary Stampeders.  They just find a way to win.

B - Cassette Tape

B Group is a mixed tape that's been wound tight with a number 8 pencil.  The thing about mixed tapes are that they are songs put together from different artists and genres but together make the best tape ever.  These 3 teams are working together like that mixed tape.  They are finding ways to limit the mistakes and work together striving for the same goal.  The Eskimos keep plugging along with Trevor Harris at the helm and as it stands, besides the Lions $700,000 Mike Reilly and the Bombers Matt Nichols, is the only veteran who hasn't missed game time.  The Roughriders won back to back meetings against the BC Lions and Cody Fajardo is looking better each week.  After dismissing their defensive line coach last week we were all wondering if the defense would stutter but if that were to happen it's wouldn't be against the Lions whose offensive woes continue.  Their only set back was special teams play which I'm sure will be much more in line in Week 8 against the Ticats.  The Alouettes haven't missed a beat since Vernon Adams Jr took over leading the team and Krazy Kavis was sent packing.  Interesting how one change can have such a huge impact.  How will they respond after their Bye Week?

C - 8 Track

If Group B has a tightly wound tape then Group C's tape is caught in the machine between tracks and spewing out all over.  What's happened to the Ottawa Redblacks?  If it weren't for a head scratching decision by Head Coach Rick Campbell they may have eeked out a win against the Stampeders.  When they seem to have a chance they shoot themselves in the foot.  The BC Lions are still searching for the track.  As I mentioned above their offensive line is just dismal.  If you are going to spend the moola on an "elite" quarterback you better have the hoggies to protect him and the Lions just do not.  Ryan Lankford did prove himself with two big special teams plays but he was the only player who showed up.  Ufdah.  The Argonauts are at the bottom of the heap again.  They desperately need a quarterback and every time I watch this team I am reminded of 2015 where the Riders kept saying we had the talent but just couldn't win.  When teams start having these types of issues and at this point in the season have losing records do we see firings?  In this age of the coaching cap is that something that can even happen?  If they did decide to cut a coach loose, who is available to take over?  These 3 teams may be stuck for the long haul.
