Post Game: Argos End Stamps Home Winning Streak, Improve to 8-4

[Will]

A tough matchup once again for the Argonauts. The Stampeders have clearly staked out their claim as the best team in the CFL in my opinion after the last few weeks that Saskatchewan has had. I am not sure who the Stampeders will start at QB, but we will have to contend with Jon Cornish this time around. The Argos did a nice job containing Jerome Messam and were doing a good job on Sheets until he got hurt so hopefully that will also carry over to this game.

Given the surprising W’s in the last 2 weeks – this game is like gravy to me. I know you gotta go out and get W’s whenever you play but after the snoozer on Sept. 3 I left the ‘Dome thinking we were doomed to go 0-4 or 1-3 over the next month at best. We’re already 2-0 and I think the Edmonton game is obviously winnable – to come out of this nasty road trip at 3-1 or 4-0 would be quite the accomplishment IMO.

These last two Argo wins remind me of the Brian Sipe led 1980 Cleveland Browns who were dubbed the "Cardiac Kids".

Is there any other sporting events on that day? I can't make it but I know someone who went last Sunday and said never again would he go to Shoeless Joes but I think it's because it was on at the same as a lot of NFL games.

[Will]

Was it simply too crowded for that reason or no space was set aside for Argo fans to watch the game? If it is the latter I'd be quite surprised since Shoeless advertises itself as the official party site for the Argos.

Supposedly the back room (never been so not sure what it's like) was for the Argos game and the rest was for the NFL but NFL crowd was so annoying with the volume that they spoiled the experience.

Unlike the game against the Riders where most of us no doubt predicted very little chance, for this game I think there is a better then even chance of winning.

[Ron]

Well ... if Hamilton could play them so close I see no reason we can't play them close as well.

[jerrym]

With Kackert possibly out with a concussion, Norwood, who looked great against the Riders, especially in the dying minutes when he repeatedly bulled his way to three first downs, could be the #1 back again. However, if Norwood, who was obviously limping at the end of the game, has a lingering injury I would prefer that the Argos not use him against Calgary as the loss of one game is less important than having a healthy RB for the playoffs, especially when Hamilton is two games back and Montreal three back in the standings.

I'm in, willing to give it a try. Planned to go a few times but never worked out.

[Mulder]

At the start of this road trip, I said I would be happy if we went 2-2. 2 games in and 2-0, I think going 4-0 is a possibility.

This game is also known as the 'War of the Roses' in the 1argoholic household.

Chad Owens is "doubtful" for this game. His injury is evidently of the nagging type that takes awhile to heal. Chad Kackert is "day-to-day" with the concussion. Anyone heard anything about the guys who missed the last game like Hammer and Jamie Robinson?

EDIT: McCune should be good to go.

[1argoholic]

I like the fact that Glenn is starting. It would be sweet to win this but we need a real fast strong start.

I'm wondering about Robinson too; it's hard to know his status relative to Colclough if his health isn't disclosed.

Based on the way Milanovich answered questions, I don't think either Chad will even be on the 46.

(After a few minutes) Well, we will need to sit imports, so one could be on the 46. I don't think either will play, however.

Rest easy everyone, there will be Argo fans at McMahon Stadium tomorrow. I will be there with my kids. I have turned my 8 YO son into a true fan. My 11 YO daughter is not into it as much but likes going to games anyway. We just hope second half Collaros shows up instead of first half Collaros.

[VANRIDERFAN]

Soooo, now that the Riders did you a solid, how about your team go on a undefeated run for awhile, just like last year! (except for the Grey Cup of course!)

[Wobbler]

It isn't reflected at Argonauts.ca yet, but today's transactions wire shows that we've put Robinson and Steele on the PR. So it seems clear that we prefer Colclough to Robinson at LB and Norwood to Steele at RB. Also, Porter has been released.
