Lot's of complaining about Ottawa's schedule but....
Redblacks play 7 games in 42 days, with 2 of the 7 games with only 4 days of rest. Argos play 7 games in 39 days, with 3 of the 7 games only with 4 days of rest.
Uproar over the fact that someone else got an Argo like schedule. Waaaa!
It's us vs the rest of the country
Oh the Ottawa complaining about the schedule is just amazing, it’s like this is the first year this grievance has ever happened.
That aside, I think the Argos need to strike quick out of the gates, put a less-rested team on their heels early. Then keep coming after them, lots of defensive pressure like the Argos have done so far this year and long drives to keep that redblack defence on the field for long stretches throughout the game.
I know I’m an eternal optimist and wilder fan, but a guy like that could be huge in a game like this – argos get up and just start going after them forcing the run on them with a big back like Wilder. I envisage it happening like we can all (unfortunately) remember Mike Pringle doing time and time again to the Argos once upon a time.Routinely picking up 7, 8, 9 yards on first down – devastating for a defence.
I read on one of the Facebook CFL Groups that they're expecting around 20,000 for this game.

Despite Ottawa having a tough stretch, I feel they will be a handful on Monday night. Marc Trestman has never lost to Ottawa in his career.
That would be great, but I will believe it when I see it.

For the big reunion game on Monday, any thought of extended radio coverage? With so many stars coming back, what a wonderful opportunity to showcase this team and interview the stars from the past? If not, this will be limited to an in-stadium experience.

I will be quite disappointed if the Argonauts do not win this game especially with Ottawa being on a short week.
