GAME THREAD / Week 9 / Montreal @ Toronto

[ArgoZ]

I'm looking to buy 2 more West side tickets to the game. PM me if you have any spares!

Hey guys, what's the word on Johnny Sears? He's not listed on the roster. On last week's depth chart, it showed him being moved to the 1 game injured list, but now his name is not there.

Good question. Probably just a clerical error. The roster list has been wrong before.

[mchesher03]

Clerical error or not, great catch by Skinny G there. I’d assume Paul is right that it’s a clerical error given there’s no associated transaction with him.

I just figured he had incurred Trestman’s wrath after the rider game and would be back in the lineup on Saturday.

Let's see when the depth chart comes out. I don't expect to see Sears on it although I thought we was playing well this season.

I have two available on the cooler side (West side?). Sec 224 I believe. Same seats you bought off me last year I believe for the EX game. I always seem to be away for the Ex.

Outside of his brain fart in the Saskatchewan game, I’d agree with you and I’ve never liked Johnny Sears myself.

Thanks for the offer, but I already committed to others. I like your seats, good view and price point. Summer weekend games can be a tough sell, hopefully we get a respectable crowd. I love the Ex game. We always hear about the awesome atmosphere at stadiums around the league, especially around Ottawa's stadium. The CNE game offers the same, maybe more. Free CNE admission (rides, shows, exhibits), post game concerts (Sam Roberts this year). What more do people want? Yet, all we hear is how terrible it is to get there, the crowds, parking, etc. I really feel like people are missing a great time or don't know how to have a good time.

Agreed, although the rides are not free.

I'm looking forward to the chart tomorrow.

Mitchell was re-six gamed yesterday, sadly, so he won't be back any time soon.

Posey isn't scheduled to come off the six until NEXT week, and it now looks like he won't come off early. Damn. I suspect that Malcolm Williams will get another chance to start at boundary. Hopefully Cash will be ready, and could even start at DT (next to Wynn).

I really hope we win this game. Taking first place in the East is a good idea for a lot of reasons, but especially this year. Do the rules allow TWO teams to cross over? If so, that is a non-trivial possibility in 2017...

Only one team can cross over so it is guaranteed that two eastern teams will be in the playoffs this year.

[Wobbler]

Brow wiped. Thanks, Ravi!

Hopefully the East will become less pathetic.

[mchesher03]

This is a chance for the argos to make a statement with a win. A loss means we’ve ceded the tiebreaker to Montreal and are looking toward the illustrious 2^nd seed in the East.I know it’s early, etc.

A win means a split in the home and home (without Ray last week) with the tiebreaker at home in the fall – an ideal scenario.

I dunno, I’m a perennial homer here but I’m optimistic about tomorrow. I should also caveat that with I say this and then sit through the subsequent loss, only to do it again next time (don’t we all though?)

I’m calling Argos offence gets some production against that Als defence and we pressure Durant and throw off their passing game. Narrow victory but a much needed one.Here’s hoping.

[paulwoods13]

We need to win the season series with all three of our eastern rivals 5o solidify a playoff spot. Have already done it with Ott, and we have a leg up on Hamilton (with two games in Ham to come). Winning tomorrow is a must IMO.

[Will]

One of the Argos biggest Achilles heel is solving that Thorpe defence. It was failure to do so that cost the Argos a playoff spot in 2014.

Desperate times call for desperate measures Paul so I will be making the trip again. Just to clarify the Argos have not lost in the last 10 years with my ass in a seat. Personally I don't know why they don't bring me to every game.

BTW Paul. I love the book, when I get time to read it.

[Shatto]

Notice Sanders not on the depth chart for the game. Personally, I would have liked him to have replaced Fuller.

Sanders will be making his first CFL start Saturday, according to the article in the Sun today.

My thoughts on the depth chart

• Sears re-emerges on the 1 game IR
• Interesting to see big will Campbell as the sole LT – hope he’s showing well in practice this week
• Waud back on the 6 game – he barely saw action last home game, too bad!
• Where did Qudarius Ford come from? Seems out of nowhere to me (most of you guys have better awareness of these moves)
• Not much to say on the offensive side of the ball other than LT
