August 27th 2012: Edmonton vs. Toronto Argonauts

I want to see us get well ahead of the Bombers and Hamilton. I'm excited for tonight and expect good things. Oh can't wait to see Riggs and Pottinger in there.

[DanTheFan]

I unfortunately missed last week's game (was at a barbecue), but I'm making up for it this time by watching on my new 40" set. I guess with Messam released, Boyd needs to deliver the goods.

I don't know about Pottinger but I have my doubts that you will see Riggs tonight. I am guessing that Riggs will be one of the four scratches.

Thank you Bell. My ExpressVu satellite is not working. No signal. Can't get the game.

Am I ever glad that I beat the traffic to get home to watch this..........phrig.......

whoa was Rosie McLennan scared there. Nice pick.

[294life]

roughing the passer penalty. RR run. Inman misses a circus catch. only a three.

Argos are playing like shite and with two minutes left in the half TSN crapped it. Time to yank Ray and get anyone else in. This looks like the Argos of the last few years. What do we still need but receivers who can get open and catch. Plus the Dome sounds like a funeral. Now we have no return game, a qb with 9 tds and 9 picks. Perhaps Tillman isn't the tool most thing he is. I'm starting to think that Milanovich is in over his head. We're getting worse not better and he's a so called O guru. If we don't come back we could find ourselves in deep pretty quick. We only win in Hamilton on Labour Day once or twice a decade.
This is CRAP!!

You to. I was also recording a Pay per View of which I only got the first few minutes. They had better not charge me for it. As for the game: Good night, I'm going to bed. Give me the bad news in the morning.

[tennyis]

cut Ray and try Jackson out... that's just how Barker rolls

[294life]

finally a TD. Can Ricky finish this half now?

[Invader]

Looks like a really good crowd tonight, really tightly packed in the lower bowl. The Argos look good (other than on the scoreboard) with a potential TV audience of over 270 million tonight when NBC Sports/HD are included.

[294life]

Kackert on a third down gamble. we got game folks.

[Nob]

I'm tired of these undisciplined penalties. Too many. Too stupid.

[tennyis]

hopefully they can find a way to win this one after a terrible first half. 270 million viewers? that cannot be right

It's not. NBC Sports does NOT have access to 270 million

[KCargosfan]

That made absolutely no sense at the end there. Are we taking tips from LaPolice or something? Very weird.

[Bleeds Double Blue]

I'm pissed. This is not good enough.

[Invader]

It's not. NBC Sports does NOT have access to 270 million

NBC Sports reaches over 80 million U.S. households, according to the CFL news release (the Argos game is on both SD and HD networks). On average there are about 3 people per household. TSN reaches 10 million households in Canada. You add all them up and the potential audience is over 270 million (not including ESPN3, RDS2, internet streaming, neighbours & friends that drop by, multiple viewers in bars, satellite feeds, etc).

I'm not saying all 270 million will be watching, certainly over 50,000 in the U.S. alone.

Tough luck for the Argos, this just wasn't their night. The Esks defence was just too tough.

[1argoholic]

WOW!! Ray looks like shite with no help and an O Line that looks like it's lost and no one to catch a pass. I was a Barnes backer but he's useless. Watt WHO??? Carroll should just be cut now. If they ditched Boyd then this stiff deserves to be cut. Suiters going on about he hasn't stayed anywhere because of penalty issues. He gets 79 yards himself.
Tilman is one smart GM that I would have taken in a heartbeat ove Bob Barker plus he laughing his arse off as I type this.
As I mentioned we can be in deep crap with different issues weekly but now our D looks sad. We simply don't win on Labour Day in Hamilton and we don't win in Vancouver. Hopefully we're not sitting at 4 and 7 after the next three. Everytime I let my guard down and feel confident we SUCK! I'm po'd with this stinker.
Esks two top pass rushers are out and they killed us all night long with the pass rush against a pylon. Then we allow a 39 year old to run free.
Milanovich is no Trestman.
