Game Thread: Toronto Argonauts @ Saskatchewan Roughriders

[Will]

Nothing would make me happier than putting a dent in Saskatchewan's playoff hopes.

For the Argos this is the closest thing that will resemble the intensity of the East Final.

Fighting for a playoff spot as well as management fighting for their coaching and GM jobs.

It would be good to give Kelly a half and then re-assess at halftime. Encouraging signs from last week on the interior offensive line. I think Giffen is really coming into his own as a road grader.

Would love to see Coxie get more involved in the offense as well as the Canadian Air Force. (Nield, Ungerer, Brissett and Sindani)

The Argos are averaging about 17 pass completions per game. Last week, Daniels had 6 catches, so about one-third of the catches.
If one guy is getting that many catches/targets, it doesn’t leave a lot to divide up amongst the other players, including the running backs.
It has seemed to me at times that Kelly has been throwing to Daniels, even into double coverage, when he had other receivers open. Hopefully he can distribute the ball around, like he was trying to do for Nield last week.

Kelly (& Dinwiddie) have been spreading it around pretty evenly most of the season, though. Haven't they?

- Gittens and Phillips are out
- Coxie hasn't been consistent the last few weeks
- Kelly is a gunslinger

Here are the injury reports:

As expected, Flo gets a bye. Pretty well all key players who can be rested have now been given a rest.

Yep, Boris Bede too.

As long as the completions lead to TDs and wins, I don't really care how they're distributed.

[jerrym]

Dolegala lucky on his opening TD drive to have his pass tipped to the receiver and then have the receiver's knee still on the ground before fumbling the ball, so the Riders' retain possession.

[jerrym]

Kelly seemed surprised on his fumble because the Riders got to him so quickly after the Argo OL had previously provided so much time to throw on previous plays.

[jerrym]

Stagers show his metal by recovering after allowing a long pass with an interception on the next play.

[jerrym]

Kelly looked good marching the ball down the field until he threw the INT to Marshall for his second turnover. Kelly looks a little off today so far.

[jerrym]

Good to see OJ get his 1,000 yards. Nobody works harder for it.

[jerrym]

Lozada, all-time leader scorer in the Mexican league, gets his first Argo FG. But he missed two in the first half. I hope it's just nerves because if Beds goes down we would need a replacement.

[jerrym]

And the Kelly offence explodes with a long bomb TD to Coxie once again.

Ok - can we be done now with risking our QB in meaningless games - now we have 21 days to get him healthy for the game that matters. It’s enough ridiculousness…..

I get that it’s scary putting Kelly out there but holy smokes, Glen Suitor just needs to calm down.

Lanier is dirty

Yeah I know Glen Suitor starts on this before the game even begins. Okay we get it - you don't think they should be playing Kelly - ha! Also I will confess that seeing Kelly limp off the field after that tackle didn't feel good. But he seems to be okay.
