July 12, 2014: Calgary Stampeders vs. Toronto Argonauts

[flafson]

I did go through Argos (416-341-ARGO) and paid the same as Ticketmaster! I paid $149.30 for 2 silver tickets going through Argos which is exactly what I would have paid if I purchased them on Ticketmaster.

That's very weird, the last number of times i bought directly through the Argos, they didn't charge me any of the Ticketmaster fees. That alone was making the tickets way cheaper.

Ticketmaster has their own fees. Going through the Argos avoids those fees.

And if you're a Season Ticket holder you also get a reduced price on any additional tickets

[Wobbler]

Two INTs on the depth chart need to sit. There are eight NAT starters listed (3 o-line, Coombs, Watt, Laing, Emry and Gabriel) so we have some roster flex. Wonder if Jones will be on the game roster this week in case Emry can't play the whole game. However, with Coombs starting at slot (backed up by Adjei), we probably need a second INT RB (Johnson) to back up Steele. If so, two defensive INTs (probably Jones and a lineman) will have to sit.

I think we'll dress Jones (for the reason you stated) and sit Agnew instead. I don't think I trust Eric Black to come in and play nickel, but Herbert certainly can.

Barker said on TSN Radio tonight that Jeremiah Johnson is playing to spell off Steele, so two defenders will sit. Agnew or Jones and a lineman, I guess.

I would have thought the same. The rep did mention that prices had gone up this year. If anybody has a rep that they regularly deal with that may be able to do something about the fees, I'd gladly take the contact information for future games. At the price I paid, I'm not going to be able to attend very many games this year unfortunately

[Wobbler]

Calgary is a strong team even without a few important offensive players. I think we'll win but I don't expect it to be easy.

Argos 24 Stamps 20.

Argonauts' Sinkfield ready for chance to shine:

I realize a 18h30 start may not be the best, but is there anyone in that stadium at all.

We are playing in front of family and friends tonight

[Deerkeeper]

Did Lemon lead with his head? Even if he did, Argos could not capitalize.

[jerrym]

While razzle dazzle plays sometimes are able to beat an experienced defence, it's much more likely to happen against inexperienced defences who have not played together much like the Argos.

[jerrym]

Something's wrong. The Argos have only one penalty after twenty minutes.

[Deerkeeper]

How do you field a missed field goal 20 yds in your end zone and damn near run it all the way back? That's a big point shift.

[jerrym]

Terrible return coverage along the sidelines on Sander's leading to a Calgary TD.

I just saw the crowd on TV. You're right.

[Deerkeeper]

All right. Big play on the fumbled punt. Now score. And a time count penalty.

[jerrym]

Time-out penalty costs the Argos a TD. Mistakes. Mistakes. Mistakes thy name is Argo in this game.

[Deerkeeper]

Ugh. Not a very impressive first half.

[jerrym]

Replay. Field goal once again in the red zone!

[Deerkeeper]

Well, I have to go out. Kind of happy about that. Good night.
