Week 2 Game Thread Toronto Argonauts at Winnipeg Blue Bombers - August 13, 2021

[Mocha]

I see the game is not on TSN1. A couple of years ago I only had TSN1 so I had to go to bars to see games. Although I now have the full TSN package, it still bugs me that they don't carry all CFL games, a prime product, on TSN1.

I forked out for TSN Direct to be able to watch all the games, but I'm now using a pirated stream because the feed is better than TSN Direct.

Not overly impressed with Braverman as a punt returner so far.

[ArgoTD]

The Argos really need a kick returner. Braverman isn’t it.

[Argo57]

FFS, smarten up Argos!

[Will]

Argos are killing themselves with penalties.

[ArgoTD]

Get Braverman off the kick returns and put Brissett or Gittens Jr out there. Nurse brutal. Sadly I think Dunwiddie will keep trotting him out there just because of his passport.

[jerrym]

Credit to the Bomber defence for stopping the Argos but the Argos are also taking too many mental penalties.

[Argo57]

Hopefully Murphy has Worthy on speed dial.

[Will]

Can't get much going on offence when the offensive line is offensive.

[Argo57]

3 man rush not getting it done.

[Will]

The Argos are quite fortunate to be down 10-0. The defense is playing well, but penalties disrupt any rhythm that the offense can generate.

Problem is the D will be exhausted in the second half if the O doesn’t get their sh*t together.
Winnipeg dominating the line(s) of scrimmage.

The Argo defence has kept the team in the game but both the offence and the defence have taken far too many mental penalties. These are totally unnecessary and while the Argos may yet win this game, over a season, this many mental, as opposed to aggressive, penalties virtually guarantee you lose against good teams and unlikely to go far in the playoffs if you make it there, which the Argos should do considering the talent that they have. That's simply because the best teams don't take many mental penalties.

Especially against a team that runs a lot and has a top OL and good RBs.

[Shatto]

Lucky to be down only 10-0 Winnipeg pressuring Argo QB all game but only one sack for the Argos. Not a fan of the 3 man line.

Replace Braverman with Noel, who would probably do a better job as a receiver anyway. Bring in Jeanpierre as a returner and if he can't get it done, they need to find someone who can. The team had all last year and this to find a dangerous returner--not very successful in finding one.

Penalties, especially on offense are really hurting the team.

Oh well, there is always the 2nd half.

[Bleeds Double Blue]

The Argos look like a team with a lot of new players in the lineup which isn't surprising since they are a team with a lot of new players in the lineup. It's game 2 after a short training camp and no preseason games. Take a breath guys, they'll sort it out.

[ArgoTD]

Noel was the most impressive receiver in TC yet he’s hardly on the field on offence yet they put Braverman out there. Some old GOB thinking that can only start Americans in skill positions.

[ArgoTD]

And with Kony Ealy now out I think we lead the league in injured D linemen. How many is that now? Law, Ray, Ealy, Nevis…..

[jerrym]

The Argo interception keeps the Argo in the game but they need to do something on offence or the Bombers will be knocking on the door again and sooner or later will break the game open.

[ArgoTD]

I think we now know who will be starting at QB next week. The real MBT has shown up,tonight.
