Game Thread: BC Lions @ Toronto Argonauts

[jerrym]

Adams passing looking a lot better compared to last year on the TD drive as he got some coaching advice in the offseason.

[jerrym]

Couple of excellent blocks lets Leake use his speed to score on punt return. Now if we can get the offence going.

[jerrym]

Hard to believe the Argos haven't started 3-0 since 1991.

[jerrym]

Adams looked like the old Vernon on the interception. Gittens spin move after the catch sets up the Argo TD as he demonstrates why he is the Argos #1 receiver again.

[jerrym]

Argos gave Adams too much time on the TD throw.

[OV Argo]

Argos have a very good D = so important.

And Chad Kelly is very impressive - gun for an arm, throws strikes well down the field, and mobile - should only get better with more experience.

[jerrym]

Maybe I spoke too soon. Vernon looking like the old Adams with his third interception.

[jerrym]

BC offence looks confused and losing confidence as the half ends compared to start of game. The key question is whether they can use halftime to rally.

[jerrym]

I didn't like the call on going for it on your own 40 especially when you are ahead by 11. I also have not thought much of Dukes from the time I saw first saw him do the QB sneak. They need someone who is good at it. Kelly is much better and I get you don't want him doing it all the time, but if you don't have a good backup at the QB sneak, then go with Kelly at least in key situations like this where losing the sneak puts BC in automatic FG range if not worse.

[jerrym]

A totally unnecessary FG giveaway narrows the lead to one score.

[jerrym]

Ya. I was wrong. Vernon is back to his old habits, like throwing off his back foot for an INT.

[jerrym]

And Ouellette, despite needing a rest just moments earlier, powers his way into the end zone on three rushes, making a Lions comeback increasingly difficult. Could well be the kill shot.

[jerrym]

Credit to Adams on not giving up after four INT, for taking Lions downfield for a TD.

[jerrym]

Credit to the Argos for five INTs and boo to Adam's judgement on when and how to throw.

[Argos1983]

Dare we say it…..The Argos are a very very good team. This regular season looks like it comes down to three games against Montreal and (knock on wood) keeping healthy in key positions…..

[jerrym]

Glad to see Kelly take the QB sneak. They need to find someone other than Dukes to do QB sneaks.

[jerrym]

Ya. I was wrong. Vernon is back to his old habits, like throwing off his back foot for an INT.

[jerrym]

Robertson Daniels sixth INT for TD! TOTAAAAAAL DOMINATION BY ARGO D.

[ArgoGabe22]

Argos being 3-0 and heading into their second bye week of the season has to be a real head scratcher

[gilthethrill]

Last time I recall the Argos D registering 6 pics was the 1982 season opener vs Calgary that ended in a 24-24 tie.
Great bounce back game for STC Micky Donovan and the return units after last week in Edmonton. Such a balanced team that does not have to rely on Kelly to do it himself. Time to re evaluate the short yardage QB.
