    Maybe you meant us being the 13th man on defence ?
    It's puzzling being at the game and watching Argo fans make noise while the team is on offence.

    Drives me nuts. The worst is when we're told to make noise when the team is on offense, Landry should know better.

    I don't recall Landry making that request when the Argos have the ball...just fans doing it on their own is what I have noticed.

    Yeah, I don't recall Landry doing it either. I remember it appearing on the video screen at the Dome along with poorly timed t-shirt giveaways.

    It's happened a couple of times this season and last season. Always seems to happen during our first offensive possession.

    Do you think it's enough noise to actually impair communication? It's hard to tell on TV, but it doesn't seem so to me. No harm in some, uh, harmless pre-snap enthusiasm.

    Argos aren't only team with their fans cheering on offence.

    Ottawa is 10x worse but as The Dictator once pointed out, it might mean there are new fans out in the crowd. So as annoying as it may be, I did hear more noise/cheering on offence last home game. The last thing you want to do is tell them to go take their noise home instead lol.

    I too predicted that 9-9 record is possible. Where is my prize?

    It was a strange season for sack totals--Charleston Hughes led the league but only with 11. While the Argos pass rush was not as strong as earlier in the season you did have guys like Dylan Wynn and Justin Tuggle stepping up with Lemon and Butler out of the lineup.

    Maybe they need to run the 'Sssshhhh' graphic a few times, on Argo 1st downs, on the video board and sideline board (what is that electronic advertising board that runs the length of the east sideline called, anyway?). If there are new fans at the game, they may not realize what their duties are!

    Ottawa was really bad their first season, but I don't recall it being that bad as of late.

I think the key is having depth at the position, and I think either Wilder or Hunter could end up being a real gamebreaker. They've got to find a way to dress two INT RB along with Coombs every game this year.
    Well I was right about this but as I have confessed before, I was wrong about Ray for a long time. Here's what I can't figure out about Ricky Ray: he looks like he's moving a little quicker this year. Last year he moved in the pocket like he was wearing snowshoes, but in the last few games he's been jumping up into the pocket and evading the rush like I've never seen him do it before.

    Maybe his knees are feeling better this year, but I think the big difference might be improved O-iine play, giving Ricky a reliable pocket to escape into more often.

    Same here. They should play the video telling fans when to cheer more than once. They usually only play it once and it's before the game even starts.

    The O Line still needs improvement IMO. IIRC Ray was still sacked more than any other quarterback this season.

    The O-Line has been much improved since Himebauch arrived but IMO James Wilder’s emergence as a legit running threat has stopped our opponents from simply pinning back and pressuring Ray (as was happening before).

    The line was at such a disadvantage without a running game. Really hope the team can keep Himebauch on the staff long term. Does Deane replace Washington at guard when he is healthy?
