November 18th 2012: Toronto Argonauts vs. Montreal Alouettes

[1argoholic]

Unreal!!!!!!! Now I have to settle in and cheer for my wifes Stamps. Changed into Stamps gear and ready.

[ArgoRavi]

Thank God the Refs were flagging us no end so no one can say they favoured us in any way.

Your friend Glen Johnson was the head referee too, AD.

woohooo
Argos in the grey cup, can't wait!

[marcwagz]

i think i may watch the grey cup live from my local cineplex odeon theatre!
woohoo

[jerrym]

I wonder how many people will show up. I hope they get around 40,000!

The Grey Cup has been sold out for months with more than 70% of seats sold from southern Ontario. Should be over 50,000.

riiiiiight. like that'll stop 'em.

they'll just say that the Montreal receiver was paid to drop the ball.

I'll be watching the game at a big party at my best friend's house. He's a Lions fan so here's hoping we can have a Braley Bowl party. I know there are people who complain about him, but without him there might not be a CFL.

Youd think Calvillo would go and shake someone's hand instead of making a b-line for the locker room, not the first time I've seen him do that, one of the many reasons I hate Montreal. That aside...
Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggooooooooooooooooooossssss!

I saw that too and thought it was pretty bush.

I don't have any problem with Calvillo doing that. That loss had to be devastating for him and his team.

Yeah all the calls were no surprise at all to me. When was the Als first flag, 3rd qtr?

[ArgoDave]

LOL ya, it hit him right above the numbers, totally catchable. I think he thought it would get tipped so he didn't raise his hands enough.

Cauz especially should have known better. Arash Madani said on Twitter before the game that the Als would win and it wouldn't even be close.

Hats off to Jalil Carter. He did a good job of replacing Watkins and was second in tackles with five for the Argos. However, I still want Watkins for the Grey Cup if he is anywhere near 100%.

There is no doubt that Watkins suits up if he's healthy.

I haven't watched the Eastern Final yet, but I just watched Climie state that Calvillo had lots of time, all game long, to find receivers and deliver the football. (Apparently, the defensive backfield must have played very well.)

But this chronic lack of pressure (this game in particular, and more or less all season long, IIRC) from the D line really concerns me for the Grey Cup game.

Yeah, but were in the show in spite of it.

Owens set a Toronto playoff record with his 207 yards receiving. The 207 yards was also fourth all-time in CFL playoffs. If he doesn't win MOP for the regular season, there should be a criminal investigation of what would amount to a steal.

There were plenty of plays where AC had loads of time, and there was not even a single Argo in the Als backfield. I don't think it was a matter of the Argos not being able to try to put suitable pressure, but more of dropping back into pass coverage, knowing that AC wasn't going to run, and they were right. AC didn't run all game, and the defensive back field did a damn good job of pass coverage most of the time.
