Post-Game Update: Alouettes Down Argos on CFL Pink Night

Final Score: 20-12

There are all crucial games from here on in! The Alouettes have been playing pretty good football over the last couple of weeks, but I question whether they have benefited from playing Ottawa, injury-riddled Calgary and Saskatchewan who is a mess without Durant. It will certainly be a good test for them.

I've said it before, and I hope it doesn't come back to haunt me, but I have no fear of the Als. As long as the Argos don't beat themselves, I see no way Montreal can compete with them.

I agree with this statement Angelo. So long as the Argos don't step on their own toes they should be able to handle Montreal. The Als coming off a very big and emotional home win now have to come to Toronto and deal with an Argos team that now has the taste of Ti-cat blood in their mouth. Throw in the extra time for the Argos to prepare and no Whitaker and I like the Boatmen's chances.

But that is the key Angelo, dumb penalties, turnovers, lack of execution and good old fashioned luck always come into play so for these reasons I am always very cautious heading into any game.

I honestly don't see Montreal as a challenge. I predict at least a 14 point victory.

Chris Schultz feels Montreal is a better team and will win Saturday....how dubious.

Time to prove Schultzy wrong!

I said this in another thread .... Its Ricky and boys against a very good defense .... but I think our offense can rack up more points than JC against our D.... its the special teams that may be important here.

He is picking us to win, actually.

[Wobbler]

There has been a bit of roster movement this week. It looks like Mo Mann will take Gill's roster spot, Orhian Johnson has been re-activated, and Gillanders has been put on the IR. We finally have a genuine surfeit of useful receivers; I'm curious to see whether Mann or Brazill (or neither) is active on Saturday.

Thanks Wobbler, not sure how I misread that! My faith in Schultzy has been restored.

[294life]

About 250 of us are taking the train from Montreal for this one. I even got time to go watch the impact knock TFC out of the playoffs. That in itself would make it a successful trip. Sorry T-Bone

[Wobbler]

To answer my own musing, it sounds like Mann will take Barnes' spot and Brazill will play in Watt's. That probably guarantees that Woodson will start at RB/SB.

I like Woodsons play lately. Another good CIS product.

[jerrym]

While I am not a big Mo Mann fan, I would prefer him to Gill, especially if Brazill also plays as he can both catch the ball and return, although he, like Gill, has had bouts of fumibilitis.

[Wobbler]

We'll see soon whether this actually comes to pass, but I can't remember the last time we fielded an all-import/international receiving corps.

Brazill could do returns and back up as a receiver.

[ArgofanIan]

Looking forward to the game.... Chip Cox is interesting player to watch..... How will MTL' receivers match up against our defence.... if either team can establish a running game.... can Chad Owens continue to dominate..... not sure about MTL's quarter back..... Should be a interesting game..... Go ARRGOS !!!!!

[ArgoRavi]

BTW, the Als released QB Troy Smith today. As he has been released after the trading deadline, he cannot play for another CFL team this year. I believe that his salary is guaranteed for the remainder of the season however.

[Argocister]

Okay .... line of scrimmage .... Will our Oline hold?
I believe our D line can cause havoc for JC
