Game Thread: Toronto Argonauts @ Montreal Alouettes

[jerrym]

Looks like DU3 has beaten out Brisset, who I’m not sure has even played a rep on offence.

Brissett has a catch for 22 yards but DU3 has played way more.

[jerrym]

Coxie makes another great catch, this time for a TD.

[Argos1983]

Heck of a catch there by Coxie !

[jerrym]

Ryan Hunter joins the long list of dumb ass penalties in this game putting the KO near the goal line, if these penalties don't cost them this game, they will later in the season if they don't change.

What you got, defense??? Up 7 with 5 minutes to go.... can they show up???

[dmont]

Orimolade has had a $hitty game.

[jerrym]

And the Hunter penalty helps the Als get the tying TD.

[Argos1983]

Just a horrendous game all around - and yet someone gets a huge win tonight and style points don’t matter - last year a missed PAT early in the year played a huge role in getting us first in the East.

What you got, defense??? Up 7 with 5 minutes to go.... can they show up???

Narrator: They would, in fact, NOT show up.

[TrueBlueGuy]

yup, but what a smart call by Maas, the Als are playing a terrific game, Argos are doing well EXCEPT for the damn penalties. Great CFL entertainment!

[jerrym]

And then Jonathan Jones gets ejected for his second game misconduct. If this totally unnecessary penalty-filled play doesn't get corrected, the Argos will somewhere along the line, quite likely in the playoffs when you are playing the better teams and have no chance for a second chance, will pay dearly. A player (there is a wide choice of who for this) should be benched for at least one game as a message to others.

[jerrym]

DUIII TD! That does not change my opinion on my last post. The trouble when you win with so many players playing so sloppily, is teams tend to keep on trying to win doing the same thing and end up paying for it.

[Argos1983]

Yay !

Followed by Yeesh!

[dmont]

I can't believe this game. For once, the offense bails out the defense.

[dmont]

Oh $hit, not over yet.

[Argos1983]

Huge win !! No style points…..just get the win….

Now if they win one of the two vs Montreal in September things look very good.

[jerrym]

Salute to
AJ -95 rushing yards and should have been over 100 but for dumb penalties and showing some speed that I didn't think he had
Kelly - 351 passing yards and gritty play throughout
Coxie 4/72yards with circus highlight TD catches
McManus 9 bruising tackles and an INT

On the other hand many of the other players need to look in the mirror for their dumb ass selfish penalties that hurt the team. Dinwiddie needs to make it clear players will be benched if they continue with this nonsense.

[dmont]

Wow... I'm spent...

For three quarters, a pretty poor effort by the Argonauts. Where did all those penalties come from??? That was terrible! Not gonna win a lot of games like that.

With the exception of the throw across the body, Chad Kelly was very good. His best game of the season. Mostly in the second half. Superstar. Still... I think Fajardo was even better today. We couldn't stop that guy at all. Accurate, good decisions, elusive.

Coxie is a bad man. He is a very, very bad man. Ungerer started off poorly with some penalties, but showed up huge in the second half. Outstanding awareness, managing to be at the right place at the right time.

Defense took an enormous step back today. Poor tackling, teammates hitting each other. Penalties. Im not sure they stopped a Fajardo drive for almost the entire second half. Oakman took a garbage roughing the passer penalty (luckily didn't cost us too much). What happened to Orimolade?? Crushes Amos and takes him out of the game, then let's Fajardo get away on what could have been the TSN turning point.

Stiggers did some good things, but I think Maas targeted him and burned him a time or two.

Leake was running east-west a little too much for my liking today. Better in the second half.

Ryan Hunter and Dejon Allen were really undisciplined. I know Jones got ejected, but I didn't notice his penalties as much.

After that performance, lucky to get out with the win. For the first time in a long time, offense bails out the defense in an argonauts game.

Looks like DU3 has beaten out Brisset, who I’m not sure has even played a rep on offence.

Brissett had a big catch on the first Ungerer TD drive in the third quarter, as I recall.

YES, agreed. This is the best CFL game to date that I have watched in 2023. Argos have a lot to "clean up" as Kelly just said, but we have the talent to stay on top. Yes I do remember the 4-and-Oh 1983 Argos with Holloway, Barnes, Greer et al. Fourty years? man never would have believed it would take 40 years to do it again. GO ARGOS!!
