Wilder is back and it looks like he's going to have a big game after that TD run!

**jerrym** · 10-21-2017, 04:30 PM

Dumb penalties. The story of a lifetime of watching Argo football.

I could be wrong, but was there not supposed to be a season ticket holder gift available at the last two games? Last game of the season and there seems to be nothing. In addition, nothing h at the gate or in seats for fan appreciation day??

Declan Cross comes through on third and goal!

Martese was limping off. Hopefully, we are not losing his dynamic returns.

**jerrym** · 10-21-2017, 06:05 PM

Walker clipped Wilder in the back but there was no call on the play making it easy for the Bombers to score from the one after the Okapaulgo interception.

**jerrym** · 10-21-2017, 06:16 PM

Wilder's second TD, 77 yards running and 70 yards receiving so far put his name into prominence again for rookie of the year.

Unbelievable! Hajrullahu saves the Argos with a punt out of the end zone on a missed FG. Its the first time I've ever seen it be successful although I've seen it fail several times.

**Stevoman** · 10-21-2017, 07:15 PM

That game was nuts! 7 trips to the redzone with not enough points to show for it and another week where their D-Line knocks down too many passes but yet this time they come out on top.
Great work by the offence for continuing to keep battling after so many setbacks.

Wilder has changed the Argo offence, forcing teams to pay attention to the run as he gets more handoffs. His 112 yards rushing and 85 yards receiving while dragging players all over the place has rebuilt the Argo offensive engine.

Argos do something you don't see often in this league - lose the turnover battle but win the game. The two turnovers they did commit were the only reason this game was close as the Argos dominated the Bombers for much of this game. They held the ball for something like 37 or 38 minutes and it showed as the Winnipeg defence tired in the fourth quarter. It wasn't a perfect game for our team - the turnovers and too many penalties hurt - but the bottom line is that they found a way to win this game and now control their own destiny as far as finishing in first place goes.

Ricky Ray, James Wilder Jr., and the rest of the offence have been nothing short of outstanding. The one concern I have is that I would like to see our defensive line put the kind of pressure that they were putting on opposing QBs earlier in the season. Getting Shawn Lemon back should help out in that regard considerably. Overall though, I like the look of this team heading into the post-season.

**jerrym** · 10-21-2017, 08:39 PM

In the process of gaining 423 passing yards tonight, Ray surpassed two milestones: 60,000 career yards passing and 5,000 yards passing in a season for the fourth time.

A bit of an ugly win but better an ugly win than a good looking loss.

Time to add Wilder to your signature?

Fun win! They deserved to win anyway.

The difference in this game might have been the running backs. James Wilder had his big day and Andrew Harris did not. I quite frankly don't understand the latter as the Argos have struggled against the run the past couple of weeks against C.J Gable. You would think that this would result in Winnipeg running the ball a little more than they did. Wilder hustles and gives 100% effort on every single play and that's why he's quickly becoming one of the more popular Argo players.

**Wobbler** · 10-21-2017, 09:24 PM

Several guys had a big game, including Posey, but I was a bit surprised to see how easily he was caught by Taylor Loffler (who isn't especially fast) after his 55 yard gain in the first quarter. I thought Posey was supposed to be our stretch receiever?
