    Game Thread: Toronto Argonauts @ Hamilton Tiger-Cats

    It goes without saying that we do not want Hamilton to be the team to hand the Argos their first loss.

    Discipline will be key, the Argos didn't acquit themselves well in that department on Friday and we know TOR-HAM games can be chippy.

    Back in 1983, when the Argos were last 4-0, it was indeed the Ticats who handed them their first loss in a game in Toronto. The Argos then lost their next game in Winnipeg before coming from behind to beat Ottawa with Terry Greer having a record-setting night. They never looked back after that and one of the best moments of that season was a 50-16 thrashing of the Ticats at Ivor Wynne in September.

    When have Argos last started a season 5-0? I believe franchise record is 6-0, not sure when that happened either.
    GO ARGOS!!!

    Let's hope they keep making history. If they can get their penalty situation under control they have a good chance to keep it rolling. However against Hamilton in Hamilton the refereeing will be more home slanted. They have to be more disciplined. Keep penalties to 6 instead of 15 and they will win.
    GO ARGOS!!!

    Reminiscent of last seasons Labour Day Classic brought to you by Marks. Cats started QB Jamie Newman and there was apprehension that he would lead Hamilton to victory. Didn’t happen. Powell will get beaten down and embarrassed ala Billy Dicken and Todd Bankhead.

    Hope you're correct, after watching the Ottawa-Winnipeg game on the weekend you never know.

    Looking at this sched., a 9 & 0 start heading into Labour Day seems quite do-able.

    OK let's just simmer down and take it one game at a time. It's still early.

    Crum really hurt the Bombers with his feet, but Powell’s not as strong carrying the ball, and I’m already starting to feel sorry for the kid.

    As long as Machine Gun Kelly is out there mowing them down, I can’t see who’s going to beat this team. Someone tell me 16-2 is not a realistic possibility.

    Simple point being made was do not underestimate a young inexperienced QB.

    Argos have some history of coming out flat against inexperienced QBs. Even last year's game against Newman et al was no gimme. I'm expecting this game to be close.

    This is the winning mentality. Be 1-0 and be 2% better every day.

    I am just superstitious enough to believe in Murphy's Law. And when people start dreaming about 9-0 starts or 16-2 records - and dreaming of glory is great fun for all fans! - it makes me think that Murphy is going to glance in our direction and some bad shit is about to go down.
    When Picket was laying on the field, I was sure that this was it! Other than Kelly, he is our hardest guy to replace, right? Just saying: please stop tempting fate! It's killing me.

    EDIT: TiCats Suck.
