Game Thread: Ottawa Redblacks @ Toronto Argonauts

Daniels has had an impressive night!

[ArgoGabe22]

Was surprised to hear Rod Smith say that Kurleigh Gittens Jr is out for the season - knew he was on the 6 game injured list, but didn't realize that he won't be available for the playoffs or potential Grey Cup match-up.

Also, although not a shock Scianetti also said this was Henoc’s last season. I don’t think it was ever officially announced or mentioned anywhere. I could be wrong though.

Good defensive second half (8 sacks) led the way. It seemed like the defence couldn’t stop anything in the first quarter.


Overall there were 21 rushing attempts for 125 yards, but Kelly is credited with running 5 times for 45 yards. I think Adeboboye had the majority of the other rushes. So the rushing game was just okay without Ouellette.


I hope Kelly continues to remember that he has other receivers beside Daniels, but Daniels certainly had a good game.


Congrats to the Argos for not letting this game be one of those “trap” type games.

It's possible that is true or it's possible that Rod had incorrect info.

That interview was interesting. I got the distinct impression that we won't be seeing Muamba on the playing field again.

I wasn't terribly worried about the defence's performance in the first half because I knew that the coaches would make the necessary adjustments in the second half and that is exactly what happened.

A much more interesting game than anticipated and a nice test for the Argos. After coming out flat in the 1st half it was impressive to see them turn it on in the second! Now, stop coming out flat!

Some notes about last night's #Argos win over Ottawa. The defence came up with NINE sacks last night to tie a team record for most in a game, set in 1984 in Ottawa. They now have 63 sacks, breaking the Argo record of 61, set in 1988. (CFL has kept sack stats since 1980). 1/8

Finally the Argos take the lead on a Kelly to Daniels pass.

What a pass that was! Deep post corner, over two defenders (Ahem, Daniels behind coverage). Not too many CFL QBs can make that throw. Can any? Maybe Bo Levi in his prime.

The Argos have started strong in most games this season. A slow start on defence last night isn't the usual but has happened twice against Ottawa and once against Calgary (all at home) before adjustments were made and they shut the opposition down.

Tough stat to see...

Ricky Ray.

Great time down at BMO Field last night.
Argos pretty basic on D in the first half, dialed up the pressure big time in the second half.
Kelly made some very impressive throws and mixed in his runs very nicely.
Amateur hour officiating crew, looked unsure of their calls and baffling RTP penalty against the Argos amongst other bad calls.

Going back to TSN for a sec, I wouldn't mind having Farhan Lalji be the permanent host of the panel. Not a fan of Kate Bierness' over the top forcefulness and humour..

But, then it'd a BC Lion love-in.

Agree Ricky Ray and Doug Flutie!

[kellynjk]

YIKES - knew their record was bad, but not that bad!!!

Scianetti had a “Sideline Interview “ with Muamba last night. Didn’t ask about how he got hurt or rehab etc. Just Softball questions.

[ArgoZ]

Ricky Ray.

Definitely, however I was talking current QB’s. To take it further, I don’t think there is another QB that could do it at any consistent basis. Kelly makes it look easy.

And Ricky Ray was also a master at that drop-in-the-bread-basket end zone toss.
