GAME THREAD - Week 3: Toronto Argonauts @ Ottawa Redblacks

[ArgoRavi]

Although coach knows better, surprised so far this year and especially this so far uninspiring showing, that a few packages involving Fajardo are not thrown in.
Let's try something to throw the D off?

Trestman likes to ride his #1 QB. Don't hold your breath waiting for special packages for Fajardo as that has never been Trestman's style.

Great comeback.
Having said that we almost gave it away at the end.
I don't get it, we got the ball with 1:20 left in the game.
Ottawa had no time outs so we should have basically run out the clock, then we call a timeout to stop the clock.

No, the Argos ran almost as much time off the clock as they could. They only took a timeout after running 18 seconds off of the clock after the previous play.

That's correct. With 1:20 to go, you can't run out the clock unless you either get a first down or have some very slow-developing plays. The timeout was called when it had to be -- if they didn't call it, we'd have taken a delay-of-game penalty and lost a down. Ottawa got the ball back with about 10 seconds left so we did about as well as we could have without getting a first down.
