    Wasn't our run stopping abilities supposed to improve with Bishop ?
    It'd be nice if players wearing double blue weren't so overrated around here.

    11 running back carries for 58 yards is hardly a bad effort. And he only went in on 2nd down situations when Gabriel went in for Jordan.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    With Hamilton's loss and the Ottawa's win tonight, the Argos are in the playoffs!

    Ottawa moved back into first place with their last-second win over the Roughriders yesterday. The Argos still control their own destiny and can finish first by winning 2 out of their last 3 games. If they were to win just 1 game then they'd have to rely on the Ticats to beat the Redblacks in a few weeks.

    exciting times! the first-ever playoff game is coming this November! we just sent all STHs an exclusive window to purchase additional tickets at the STH playoff rate. A larger pre-sale that includes CFL and Argo partners opens on Monday, followed by general public on-sale date on Friday. We can't wait to see how loud and energetic the crowd will be for our first home playoff game since 2013. Thanks for all of your support. And if there is ever a time to bring out friends and family, its now! Let's Pull Together!!!

    Thanks. Have already sent out some emails to friends I invited to games with my flex tickets. I'm optimistic there will be a lot of interest. The only issue is the Monday deadline. That might be tight, but we'll see how it goes.

    Hopefully we can get our first ever sellout crowd @ BMO Field!

    If its Argos vs Riders or Ottawa it will be a sellout for sure.

    Remember that the semi is a tougher sell than the final.

    I really like the enthusiasm about the pending playoff game in here. But don't forget this is coming from diehard fans. I have not heard anything from the organization other than the minimum I would expect. IE sell tickets to STH and current corporate partners and make tickets available to the general public. I want to be open minded about this. Can someone tell me how that gets us to a sellout? Or better still how it gets us past 12000? The Argos have not hosted a playoff game since 2013 and they have not had one in BMO. It must be me but I expect more from executives that get paid a lot of money and who promised much more two years ago. If the organization is going to rely on existing ticket holders to sell this game for them than I hope ownership will make the necessary changes should only 12000 show up once again. I know for some this is not a popular opinion so this is the last I will comment on it.
    GO ARGOS!!!

    I personally anticipate somewhere between 15-20k for the playoff game. Though far from a hopeful sellout, the atmosphere will be excellent, and I'm looking forward to the game.

    It would be nice to see a packed house for an Eastern final, but sadly I think your estimate is correct.

    Probably accurate for the Semi. With the extra time, I would say over 20 for the Eastern Final. They win last week and I'm convinced their one win away from the Grey Cup. Opportunity possibly lost.

    I believe they will win their last 2 games and host the Eastern Final.

    I hope you are right. They are better than both those teams right now with Winnipeg's having a few more injuries recently. East Final would be fantastic at home!
    CFL alive and well all others can go to Hell!

    I know it's still early, but how are ticket sales looking for the playoff game? The atmosphere for Winnipeg was outstanding - electric - with only 15,500. Here's hoping for a lot more!

    Just a commercial for the game on TSN after the Leafs game so the push is on.
    Hope they promote it on the other Bell stations too.
