EAST DIVISION FINAL GAME THREAD / Nov 19 / Saskatchewan @ Toronto

[Golden Fleece]

Heading to the game now. Here's to celebrating a berth in the Grey Cup tonight!

I am always worried about this Harpin fellow who is in the Command Centre.

Looks like Harbin will be the replay official and Jake Ireland will be the video official. Hopefully Comissioner Ambrosie fixes the officiating for next season.

Just bought a new Argos toque at Sportchek, and heading to the game now. So hyped!

Can anyone report in from the tailgate? What's the vibe like? What's the mix of fans like?

One can always hope that CFL Officiating does not disgrace the East Division Final - either in real time on the field or in super slo-mo at the Catastrophe Centre.

I was thinking the same thing...like a clean Argo sack that gets a major foul at a critical time. Get Carter frustrated early like Hamilton did in the playoffs a couple seasons ago...he folded like a cheap lawn chair that afternoon.

This is by far the largest number of pregame posts on a game thread. Together with the dramatic improvement in attendance for this final, it augurs well for the Argos future, providing they continue to build on it throughout the off-season.

I expect the Riders to key on stopping Wilder initially so I hope the Argos use lots of play action at the start of the game.

[smokeslet'sgo]

Getting real tired of these gambles...do we have no confidence in our kick game?

[jerrym]

The handoff to Wilder was too slow in developing on the third and one situation. I don't understand why Fajardo didn't carry the ball considering how successful he has been all season with his big body on the QB sneak.

Ya. I agree take the early lead when you can.

[smokeslet'sgo]

I'm seriously shocked we got that call

[jerrym]

I was just going to type the defence is doing a great job getting pressure when they get not only the pressure but a TD interception and cost the Riders their challenge as a bonus!

My thinking was that the Argonauts D was going to be the difference in this game.

[jerrym]

With Bridge in now, the Argos will need to adjust their pass rushes to contain him.

[jerrym]

What an ugly throw for an interception by Ray.

[jerrym]

Followed immediately by an ugly throw for an interception by Bridge!

[Argo]

Offence... please... get off the toilet.

[ARGOMAN]

Marc Trestman made bad call when Argos had 3rd and 1 first drive of game, it was only half yard, Cody should have kept ball and done his thing, he is almost perfect this year 90+ %

Fantastic TD, but I dont like all these throw away first down runs, I prefer throwing on first down more, GREAT TD btw

Not meaning to annoy, but really bothered me Sask bringing their politics in to game by linking arms. That really bothered me, I suspect I am the minority

[jerrym]

Posey TD reception followed by a Vaughn interception. This could turn into a rout!

My worry when Argos have a lead, they quite often play Conservative and lose game in end, peddle to the metal, they need to have killer instinct. Sask will be different team in 3rd qtr, if not 3rd then 4th
