August 3, 2015: Toronto Argonauts vs. Hamilton Tiger-Cats

I am not denying that Hamilton played very well. Even Milanovich said last night though that the Argos didn't give them their best game. Maybe Hamilton still would have won if the Argos hadn't made all of the unforced errors that they did but it would have been a damn close game at the least.

The two failed third-down gambles were forced by them. And we could have called time out as soon as the coaches saw two guys lined up onside for a punt into the wind, but that's easy to say now. I bet that will be a point of emphasis this week.

I think the TV graphic was wrong on the third and one early in the third quarter. Looked to me like it was closer to one and a half than one. Harris appeared to gain a full yard on the play, but it's asking a lot to get more than that with a QB keeper on a third-and-short. Maybe the spotters were using the TSN broadcast to relay the distance to the bench, or maybe we're seeing more failed third-and-short gambles because there are fewer measurements by the refs.

I agree with Argolio. From my vantage point in the stadium it did look like 1 1/2 yards.
