Game thread: Alouettes at Argonauts

[paulwoods13]

IF the Bummers need to keep winning to secure first place, there is little chance they are going to lose to the Ticats; their D will pevent Bo from having an easy passing day that the useless BC D did last night.

Wpg really doesn't need to keep winning to secure first place. One more win over their last three games will just about wrap it up. They're at 18 points; the most BC can get to is 20 and Sask 21, and those two teams still play each other once more. Wpg could afford a loss in Hamilton, IMO, and I would't bet against that, the way the Ticats are playing right now.

It's a must-win for the Argos, IMO.

Argos have a bye coming up, and Hamilton can pass Toronto with a win against Winnipeg on Friday.

I disagree. Even with a loss, as long as they match Hamilton over the last 3 weeks, the will finish ahead of them. Will it make things a little scary? Yes, but no a true “must” win. Having said that, I fully expect the Argos to win tonight.

The forecast is calling for a bit of rain today and this evening. I hope the field holds up! If it doesn’t, and the ball is damp, the running game becomes more important. I think Argos have the edge in that department.

While technically not a must win game I fully agree with your sentiment.
Each game Toronto loses at this point lowers the odds that the Argos control their own destiny.
Hamilton now believes they can win every game so I wouldn’t rely on them losing at this point, Argos need to put their big boy pants on and close it out.

Is Chad Kelly betting on games? How many bad INTs will he throw? I don’t mind going deep and the defender makes a play but this has to be the third INT this season at least where it’s just a gift when under some pressure.

This Red Zone offence is frustrating.

Need to convert on these red zone drives. Very frustrating. We're winning though, so there's that.

[argosrule1524]

Hard to get a read on this game. Als have nothing to play for standings wise. The real test will be against the Bombers in a couple of weeks. We'll see what the team is made of then.

Lol. Wow. Shades of the East final.

[ArgoGabe22]

Practically 0-0 going into the 3rd quarter. Argos had a chance to get a nice lead and squandered it.
