Brandon Bridge's instagram message to Shawn Lemon helped motivate him - not a wise move considering the results. Despite this, Lemon acknowledged Bridge is a fast-rising star.

The ball was poorly thrown but the Argos benefited from the fact that they hadn't sent Wilder downfield the whole game on a pass route so when he did go on this play the Tiger Cat DB was caught off...

I agree that Hajrullahu has been somewhat inconsistent in his FG attempts. However, I am also concerned about the offence to some extent. The Argos have had a poor record all year in the red zone....

Despite his fumble, Coombs had a very good game catching 9 passes for 77 yards and often extending drives.

I agree the Argos did not play a great game overall other than the D, but the fans were boisterously in the game throughout and even helped cause a few Rider call mixups. The suspenseful comeback and...

With almost 25,000 in attendance cheering rabidly for the Argos and a dramatic winning finish, this could be a great opportunity to build the fan base for next year if sales and marketing can keep...

The attendance was 24,929, a great improvement over the regular season.

Rider and Rod Pedersen paranoia runs deep.

Hard to believe that Bridge's TD toss was the first by a Canadian in the playoffs since Russ Jackson in 1969. It took him a while to get warmed up, but he showed that although inexperienced he can...

Owusu-Ansah ends the threat.

Fajardo TD thanks to Ray's masterful march downfield! Now they just have to hold. No long kickoffs please!

Allowing the Riders to hang around all game long, has led to a loss of the lead with less than three minutes to go.

How the Argo offence respond after the Carter TD could be critical to who wins this game.

Of course, as soon as I comment on Bridge's poor performance and the possibility of putting Glenn back in, Bridge starts throwing bullets for completions. However, once again the Argo D comes through...

Bridge is now 1/6. I think he has the potential to be a good QB but this is his first playoff game and I feel he is overmatched by the intensity. I'm not saying Glenn is the answer, but I am...

Welcome on board, Argoman. There is always a danger of this. However, it is the defence that is either scoring or setting up the Argos to score. This game is certainly not won. However, if the...

Posey TD reception followed by a Vaughn interception. This could turn into a rout!

Followed immediately by an ugly throw for an interception by Bridge!

What an ugly throw for an interception by Ray.

With Bridge in now, the Argos will need to adjust their pass rushes to contain him.

I was just going to type the defence is doing a great job getting pressure when they get not only the pressure but a TD interception and cost the Riders their challenge as a bonus!

Ya. I agree take the early lead when you can.

The handoff to Wilder was too slow in developing on the third and one situation. I don't understand why Fajardo didn't carry the ball considering how successful he has been all season with his big...

I expect the Riders to key on stopping Wilder initially so I hope the Argos use lots of play action at the start of the game.

This is by far the largest number of pregame posts on a game thread. Together with the dramatic improvement in attendance for this final, it augurs well for the Argos future, providing they continue...
