October 18, 2014: Montreal Alouettes vs. Toronto Argonauts

[ArgoRavi]

Well looks like SJ, is back in form, and Crompton is playing like the second coming of Sonny Wade.

The Wade comparison is an apt one as he too rode a strong Montreal defence for many years.

[Argo-Les]

thankgod no rod black!!!!!!!!
LOVE Dunnigan doin the game!
we aren't executing the way we shud !
hopefully the 2nd half after adjustments we put Mont in their place!
GO ARGOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Argo-Les]

Anybody here?
Lol

[Wobbler]

They are largely beating themselves today.

I haven't seen that. We've made mistakes, but the O really hasn't been nearly productive enough to compensate for our patchy defense. Ray has looked uncertain and doesn't seem to get farther than his second read on most downs.

[Argo]

The Argos are obviously taking their usual collective dump in the comfort of their own "home".
In particular, though, what's with Waters' puny punts?

[Argo]

Wow. Scorched by a team whose Head Coach is Tom Higgins. The very definition of pathetic ignominious defeat.

[jerrym]

The Argo defence, despite just giving up a TD, has played well in the second half but you can't expect them to hold Montreal out of the end zone indefinitely when the offence consists of two and outs and returns the ball to the Alouettes inside the Argo 50 three times in a row. The score should be even higher for Montreal under the circumstances.

[Wobbler]

I didn't realize until now that Chiles was actually playing today. He is healthy and playing on the same side as defense-magnet Owens but still can't get open. Hmm.

[jerrym]

That overturn on the Montreal penalty is enormous. To me while Chiles had tugged on the Montreal jersey, the Montreal player was definitely faceguarding. Considering other interference calls that have been let stand in spite of the evidence because there was not sufficient evidence to overturn, the penalty against Montreal should have been let stand.

Matt Black having a great game culminating in causing a Crompton fumble.

[jerrym]

Argos blow their best chance to score a TD since the first quarter with dumbass undisciplined penalties.

[jerrym]

Yurichuk blocks kick giving the Argos what their last do or die chance!

[jerrym]

The Argo's failure to gain one yard on third and one symbolizes the Argo failures throughout the game.

[ArgofanIan]

Just left it a bit to late.... well get em next time... .Go ARRRGOOOOSSSS

[jerrym]

When you surrender the ball on an interception after gaining forty yards on three penalties in one play, you don't deserve to win.

Is this your way of suggesting that Ray should have been pulled?

[Double Dare]

I agree. Mtl's receivers are also starting to come on line (Brandon London now, besides Carter), and if SJ Green finally really kicks in, it could be a show. I do not predict an Argo cakewalk.

Uh Huh ... uh huh.

[MEEZY]

Well that was frustrating.

To tell you the truth, I had a feeling that this would happen. This morning I read an article where Milanovich insinuated that while Hamilton's game last week was a must-win, this wasn't as important. I'm sure that he conveyed that exact message to his team today as they shot themselves in the foot in every way possible. Exactly what has been haunting them all year: turnovers and penalties. It was clear the players weren't prepared to play today and I lay that solely on Milo.
