Re: Game Thread: Argos @ Winterpeg Friday August 1 - 8:30 PM

[Unplayable]

The Argos have not been good in the first quarter. They are lucky to not be down 14-0.

The whole 1st quarter was played in the Argos end. I don't think they got a first down. They have had multiple penalties (5 or 6). They have given up a special teams TD. The offence looks just plain bad.

I don't think it can get any worse but we will see.

It can.

Looks like the Argos could really use a couple of better ST gunners to tackle on returns.

No run game continued is going to lead to last place.

I get that the Oline needs some work but Arbuckle needs to try and adapt. He keeps getting caught in the same spot and he telegraphs his throws. Move around a bit.

You think he has time to move around? I don't.

I mean it's great they've shown some fight in the second half, but as losses mount, this matters less and less.

Two return touchdowns against, several penalties against that backed them up in the first half

Arbuckle fumble returned for a TD, INT after specials did something decent.

OL a unholy mess.

I wonder as the 4th quarter started if anyone had any faith that the Argos could come back to win this game. They were only down 10 pts which was surprizing given all the free points they gave Winnipeg, and the defence was playing fairly well.

In my mind, the poor 4th quarter was on Dimwiddie. No help for the offensive line. The Argos half back might just as well as been on the sidelines, as they didn't block and never caught a pass. No imaginative play calling. There was lots of time, and all we saw was drop back after drop back where Arbuckle was a sitting duck. And of course Arbuckle threw his usual interception with the game on the line.

There were some great moments in the game, but overall a poor show.

I wouldn't matter who is at QB, with this OL this team would lose.

Maybe; a fullback in the game to chip on Willie J (who did the huge majority of damage) might have helped some though.

That pick by Arbuckle late - poor throw when he could have feathered / led Ungerer to the sideline - was the dagger though. Nick had a great game last game; not sure he can be counted on for many of those though, and with zero ground game, the O looks very poor often.
