    Oct 2: Argonauts @ Alouettes

    I want to start this game thread early this week because this game appears to be a "must-win" for the scullers, and want to start the discussion there.

    Edmonton at Winnipeg. Tough game for the Esks.
    Calgary at Hamilton. Tough game for the Cats.
    Ottawa at B.C. Tough game for the REDBLACKS.
    Toronto at Montreal. Well, there are only two teams with worse records than the Argonauts, so I will nominally call this a "not-too-tough" game for Toronto.

    Since the Argonauts are on the outside looking in for a playoff spot, I think this is a must-win game.
    Thoughts?

    If they don't win this game, they are probably sunk for the season so, yes, this is as close to "must win" as it gets at this point in the season. The Als usually play the Argos tough and may have more pep in their step after the recent coaching change but the Argos have to find a way to win this one.

    If we can't beat the Als, it would be impolite to participate in post-season games even if the opportunity arose.

    I would never apologize for making the playoffs under any circumstances. The (5-11) 1981 Ottawa Rough Riders sure didn't and were very close to beating the CFL dominant Eskimos in the Grey Cup.

    i think this qualifies as must win. there may be a road to the playoffs without a win here but the odds get stacked up pretty high against it.

    after this game having 2 games against the best team in the league so far (calgary), a late season road game in Edmonton and the home game against the riders, means potentially 2-2 over the remainder of the season, with 3-1 being a bit unlikely and 1-3 being possible.

    anyhow i suspect willy starts this one and i guess we see how it goes. regardless of the matchups, injuries, etc. - argos need the W.

    Exactly. The whole point of the regular season is to make the playoffs. If you do that (no matter how) then you've succeeded in that goal with nothing to apologize for.

    There is no way...I mean no way the Argos should lose to a team that is this much turmoil. Coaching change, Calvillo stripped of his play calling. Is this going to help Mr. Cato the QB...or does rookie Vernon (don't call me Don) Adams start? The Argos should win....the only way they lose is if they beat themselves.

    I hate the crossover!

    Wouldn't call any Argonaut game "not too tough" at this point.

    The Al's are coming off a bye week and with a coaching change and are due for a win and so I think the Argos are actually in for a tough game but one that I think they should ultimately win and hopefully get on a roll. Go Willy!

    I expect a 2+ TD win. 31-13 Argos.

    Since it's an away game and principally because the Argos' current DL > Als' O line, I will take the Argos by 6.

    I'm with you on this. Really hoping Willy plays well and the team goes on a roll.

    That would be nice. But, the Montreal defense still have some good tough defenders. Might be a low scoring mostly field goals kind of day.

    Well they announced Willy as the starter. I imagine Mtl will pin their ears back and get after him.
    Hopefully we establish the run game as we have the last few games.
    And Willy gets through his reads and releases the ball quickly. He definitely has more zip on the ball than Ray.

    There is a probability of rain in Montreal Sunday....wonder if LeFevour comes in with a few packages designed to help the run game? No surprise Willy was named starter.

    Willy isn't a immobile as some are making him out to be. He stepped up in the pocket a couple of times against Ottawa to avoid pressure and get his pass off.

    That would make a lot of sense and I also have called for this many times before.
    What a concept keep the other team off balance instead of the usual rush the pylon in the pocket.
    However I am not holding my breath as this is not Milanovich's style as frankly I can't remember the last time he did this?
