Argos game thread - Week 2 - Stamps @ Argos.

That does seem obvious, doesn't it ?

Apparently not.....

[jerrym]

Ray is conscious and moving his extremities.

It takes a masochist to keep watching this after Terry Williams 101 yard TD return for a 41-1 lead.

Good thing winning in November is far more important than winning in June as this team looks like a 8-10 win team again in my opinion (only Mtl and Wpg are clearly worse this year) - but this type of performance isn't going to bring anyone back to the stadium who doesn't already have tickets nor will it raise the interest of the public at large who will see the news and think that the Argos are back to their usual shenanigans again after getting "lucky" in two close games after going 9-9.....you don't get many chances to make an impression on a Toronto sports audience especially while the Jays and TFC are languishing presently, the Argos had a chance to make a statement that they were the "place to be" this summer......obviously not......can't wait until they beg me to buy season tickets again next year....good luck with that, that upper east side is not going to be required anytime soon.....

[jerrym]

Blatant pass interference on Wilder missed by refs.

[marcwagz]

Franklin seems decent in there

[dmont]

Going solely by the CFL.ca play by play: Fire Condell, fire Archer, fire Heath, fire Kanneh, fire all the receivers, fire Tyms twice.

Edit: I can't tell how well the O-line's playing..... better fire them too, just in case.

[jerrym]

Franklin came as advertised on that drive for a TD: mobile with a good arm, good presence and enough strength to knock over DB as he entered the end zone.

[jerrym]

Argos reporting that Ray was transported to the hospital for observation purposes only at this point.

Attendance was 16,450. How much will it fall for the next home game against Edmonton on July 7th?

There's so much I want to say, but just can't say it.

I know it's a knee jerk reaction but I wouldn't be against any of this except maybe Condell. Offence is still Trestman's so its not entirely on him but my god, can we just move on Archer and the DBs? Linebackers seem to be invisible. Cassius Vaughn was been missing since week 1. It's like he's not even on the field. And that's not a knock against him, just an observation.

I'll say it for you

Turn volume down in case young kids are around

Nah, the coach from Letterkenny has it down:

Only two bright spots: Martese Jackson had some good returns using his speed to go 7/149 yards; and James Franklin looking respectable in garbage time.

["Issues"Mcgee]

I just watched my favourite team get humiliated and my favourite pro athlete get carried off on a stretcher. Live and in person.

This is on the coaches. Team had no desire, no 2nd effort. Gave no protection for Ray and he paid the price. I want to move away from the on field ratio. I think its time has come. If you are not going to give 2nd effort you can sit your ass down and the coaches can find someone else who will. Last year desire - this year none.

[Will]

I don't know if this will be easier to analyze tomorrow after a good night's sleep, but I sure know right now ain't the time.

Defence-Zero pass rush, brutal run defence, secondary looks like the keystone cops,
Yell and Heath looked pitiful out there (can someone tape Yell’s bucket to his head).
More timid arm tackle attempts tonight than I’ve seen in the last 10 years combined.
Observing this D effort tonight I wonder if these players have bought into whatever schemes the new DC has come up with.
O-Line not great again tonight in both pass protection and run blocking, basically the Argos were manhandled and embarrassed on both sides of the ball.
Finally get a somewhat respectable crowd and this is the performance they come up with?
Highlight of the night was getting the championship ring which TBH is rather impressive as a giveaway.

[Bleeds Double Blue]

Completely unacceptable.
