Game Recap

Final Score: 34-2

Another night that the dome will be unoccupied. It will be unoccupied from Wednesday following a possible game 5 until the following Tuesday should the Jays come back and beat KC.

WHAT A FRIGGIN JOKE!!!

[gilthethrill]

There is no way...no possible way the Argos lose at "home" Friday night against this Montreal team. Rogers SUCKS.

[Will]

The pessimist in me says that the Argos defense finds a way to allow themselves to be shredded by Kevin Glenn on Friday.

It truly has become a fiasco Angelo, the Argonauts are sitting ducks right now.

The defence has been better the past few weeks. I think that they will have success against the Als. I am looking for continued improvement by that unit and hopefully they will be at the top of their game come playoff time like the 2012 defence was.

[timlb01]

Lets get black paint and cross out the Rogers ad at centre field! How dare they have an add after what they do. Hopefully the Jays are finished Tuesday, not that will change our "home" game.

[Wobbler]

No matter how much I'd like to see an East crossover this year, we can't let Montreal win this game. We should finish first in the East if we win our remaining games, and that seems reasonably likely despite the stadium absurdity. A late bye week before the East Final would be verrrry helpful, I think.

I do believe we should win our remaining 3 games. To me the key to finishing first is BC hopefully beating Hamilton because I see Ottawa and Hamilton splitting their home and home. The Lions have been so close now for 3 straight weeks. Hoping they can finish this week.

[LLB997]

Plan on going Friday and seeing this new Hamilton stadium. is it even finished yet?? blue collar my you know what !! lazy b@st#$ds

[ArgoFan1]

Is it even finished yet????
What planet have you been living on the past year?
It's been sold out pretty much all season long.

Trevor Harris does need to cut down on his interceptions. In the 25-17 win over Montreal the Alouettes scored one of their TD's after intercepting a Harris pass in Toronto territory. Against Calgary on Saturday the Stampeders also intercepted a pass deep in Toronto territory. I believe that this happened against Ottawa as well. What will be interesting is to see how the Als defense plays because I think they're playing stronger at home than on the road. But, if you don't turn the ball over you put the onus on Glenn and that Als offense which has looked shaky.

[1argoholic]

We need to see some Ray. Harris is struggling and if Ray isn't going to play then put him in a hoodie and track pants on the sidelines. I don't see this team winning all three games. With all the crap that's going on it's a miracle we've made the playoffs. I hope for better but see us finishing third. No home playoff dates which is really fitting.

[paulwoods13]

Harris struggled to throw five TD passes two games ago, including a game winner with 20 seconds remaining. He had an off game against the defending champs, and we still might have won had a receiver caught a catchable pass in the end zone and a STer not blocked someone illegally on a kick return. I want RR to get some playing time before the playoffs, but not because Harris has suddenly turned into a pumpkin.

[AngeloV]

Again, playing the Defending champs, and playing the 3rd game in 11 days..as a homeless team. The o-line was beaten pretty badly all game (they would feel the 3 in 11 day thing worse than anyone), and that definitely has an affect on QB play.

[Scooter McCray]

In 1983 the Argos needed one Hall of Fame quarterback (Holloway) and another great QB in Joe Barnes to come off the bench to win the Grey Cup. I want Ray to get playing time so he is able to get into game shape and be ready to command this offence again if need be in November. But this is Trevor's team in 2015. He got them where they are in the worst circumstances ever faced. He deserves the opportunity to lead this team all the way now, but Ray is still a huge part of this team and needs to be ready to go too. The team's responsibility is to see that he is.

Absolutely. It is possible that the Argos give Ray a half or even the entire last game of the season against Winnipeg especially if Hamilton wins their first of home and home with Ottawa.

Having said that, it would be great to win out, and have Ottawa sweep Hamilton. That would put Argos first and Hamilton 3rd assuring us of not having to go back to THF again.

[Wobbler]

Van Zeyl came off the 6 game list today, so we will likely be back to our usual OL on Friday.

[OV Argo]

The Als 3-4 defence has been getting shredded by the pass lately; Burris had a record setting game against them and they made that stiff Matthews look good last game.

And Kevin Glenn at QB ? - what a desperation move and the guy is not capable of winning big games/

IF the Argos lose this game to that defence and Kevin Glenn at QB = time to abandon hope on any play-off success this year, IMO

Hold on to your hat OV, I predict the Argonauts will be true to form and be life and death to win this game.
Remember they are playing at THF!!
