    GAME THREAD / Week 8 / Argonauts de Toronto v Alouettes de Montréal

    @

    It's hard to predict outcomes in the CFL at the best of times, but without a clear indication of who our starting QB will be... it is extra mysterious. Will Ray play? Will we get anyone important back on defence?

    The last time the Argos visited Montreal 2 things happened that I predict won't happen Friday night. 1 Raheem Cato won't light up the Argo D like a Doug Flute. 2 The team will not cut 4 receivers after the train ride home.

    No, we're heading south from Montreal for the balance of summer. Tempted to head to Calgary. We'll be in Edmonton in October though.

    Broken record here, but if RR does no start, and if Mathews starts over FAJARDO, i WILL BE DISGUSTED

    So, Ray is out. You could make a case for either Mathews or Fajardo, but it sounds like it'll come down to whoever had a better week of practice.

    Good to get both of them ready, for sure.

    I wouldn't be betting on the Argos to win this one without Ray at QB; and even if he was, I would expect a tough game, and maybe kinda low scoring.

    Argos without Ray and with a banged-up defence are in very tough here IMO; not that the Als are very good, but I think they can play solid football, and if the new Argo QB cannot move the ball, and the Als offence gets lots of chances against a depleted Argo D, this could be a lopsided win for the Larks. But I think Fajardo at QB - game planned to his mobility and ability to run for 1st downs, supplemented by lots of run game with Whitaker and/or Wilder - could produce an Argo win. Very doubtful Trestman would commit to anything but his standard offence though, IMO.

    The toll of playing three games in eleven days I think will linger into this game IMO.

    With limited reps they are going to battle to see who is #2. did we not have a training camp? Cody won the job, what has he done to be sheit on/demoted? Only everything that has been asked of him. This takes me back to previous managements bonehead moves.

    I suspect whoever starts will have a pretty good game, if Mathews starts will have a pretty good game, but that is beside the point because Fajardo would have a good game.

    Mathews is so great that the team should sheit on Cody? Cody deserves to start.

    Your posts and constant whining are beyond annoying.

    Shirley you must be Cody's Mom or G/F. Your posts are cute.

    This is like deja-vu all over again.

    Just a few years back a young buck named Trevor Harris was the #2 QB on the chart, yet when RR went down, the 3rd stringer some kid named Zac Collaros ended up starting in Rickys place. (if I recall correctly).

    Seemed to have worked out best for all 3 of the above QB's.

    If Trestman starts Matthews, then it is the CORRECT choice, because quite frankly he is a smarter football mind than all of us Argofans COMBINED.

    (apologies to AngV, cause he is a brilliant poster)

    Coaching decisions are always 100% correct and inscrutable; couch potato fans daring to question brilliant football minds?

    I say this forum should be disbanded; and replaced by an Argo cheerleader forum - with daily updates from the Ministry of Argo Truth - maybe a few posters here could be considered to work in that Ministry ? ;o)

    Shirley's posts - while most certainly repetitive and narrow focused - don't bother me in the slightest.

    OTOH - some other posts, from the usual suspects, rushing to defend anything & everything the current Argo braintrust does, from the infidels who aren't with the program - most certainly or surely do bother me. Sorry bout that.

    Twenty-five of your last 27 posts have had the single purpose of praising Fajardo. Can you PLEASE give it a rest and maybe try offering some non-Fajardo contributions to this forum?

    I can go away if you want, probably best idea, I see others feel same way so thats what I will do

    Over and out. You and a couple others have as much as said go away, so I think I can take a hint. I dont want to be part of a forum were I am not liked anyway. Thanks for sharing that, because it seems to be the same view as many/most
