Argos should win this game, however, Thorpe always seems to find a way to outcoach Milanovich.

Yeah I dunno Montreal has been a bit of a sorry squad for a few years now however somehow, they find ways to beat the Argos. Last year's Tuesday night game at the Dome was a putrid display of offence by the double blue - couldn't tell whether it was Montreal's defensive schemes or just lack of execution on our part.
I'm hoping this is the game where the offence just clicks and are lights out. Ray with 4TDs, throwing over 350 yards.
For some reason Montreal always plays us well. This game should be ours with all of their injuries. Hope Greenwood lays a punishing clean hit on Carter somehow.
Glenn is back, so the Als should be better than they showed last week. The Argos need to score points though; it really is as simple as that.
watching a kevin glenn led offence win at BMO will make my head hurt.
I'm hoping for exactly this as well but am also worried about the Argos performing poorly against an Al's team that will want to prove they are not as bad as they were last week.Quote:

Don't you know how it works? If we start the season 2-3 we are automatically eliminated from the playoffs.Quote:

the team will be fine, Argos get the W and silence (always temporarily) the doubters...
Apologies if someone already posted but any word on guys like Spencer and Elliott? Our passing game could use both...

Would not help, but would not significantly hinder. Mtl made Eastern final in 2014 after starting 1-7. BC won Grey Cup in 2011 after 0-5/1-6 start. Our playoff fate rests on 14 more games.Quote:

Losing at crappy teams at home will have a negative effect on potential paying customers.
Well so far, pretty well almost all the home teams are losing (Hamilton is also 0-2), so I guess the Argos are in good company.Quote:

I agree, and I am very confident we are going to win, and win over some new fans.Quote:

Good to hear.Quote:

what's the word on the tailgate scene? hear rumblings of just ontario place on twitter - all references to the exhibition lot are gone from the argos site too. have not heard any "official" communication on this.
The Shipyard is back to it's usual location beside the new hotel. Get there early if you want the $4 beers, the last game they ran out of the $4 Buds and only the "tall boys" left.Quote:

well don't i look foolish - email was sitting there in my junk folder. my bad

I see on the Toronto Argonauts Facebook Page that there is a Pokemon ticket offer too.
The Exhibition Place Tailgate is only available for about half of the games. Ontario Place Tailgate is every game:Quote:

that's what we previously had - now it's all at ontario place for what it's worth. interested in seeing how it goes as I really liked the exhibition site on the 23rd.
No matter what team Kevin Glenn is suited up for, he always scares me when he plays the Argos. I am still pissed about how easy he made it look last year just after he was traded to Montreal in that "Hamilton Home Game".
That Pokemon thing or whatever it is reeks of desperation to get people to go to the game.Quote:

Heaven forbid that they try something new! And judging by the attendance at the last game they probably have reason to be desperate.Quote:

MLB has already been doing these Pokemon promotions for weeks.
I'd call the Argonauts. Last game the Tailgate Parking Passes were showing as sold out online but when my brother called the Argonauts he was able to get one.Quote:
