Big, big win. Solid effort from the Argos, who easily won all phases of the game, and really dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. I think Chad Kelly looked more poised and "in control", for lack of a better word, than ever. He had great presence on the field the whole game and clearly outplayed both Nathan Rourke and Vernon Adams.
My biggest concern, and I would be interested in others opinions - what is the cause of Argos struggles when they get inside the score zone? The O-line dominates all the way down the field, but then we get stuffed more often than not near the goal line. It didn't make a difference tonight, but continually having to settle for FG's instead of TD's may hurt them.

Got to see the game live and was happy to see a near perfect road game for the Argos! The defence was awesome and, aside from having to settle for too many field goals, the offence was very efficient as well.
Great to see the home crowd leaving by the end of the third quarter.

I think the difference this season compared to last is that Kelly isn’t used to having pressure. For whatever reason the line is not as strong as last year. Kelly has had to make adjustments and isn’t slinging it cleanly like he did last year. That still doesn’t answer the question why they struggle in and around the red zone

But, If they fail in that home game opportunity to pummel the over-rated RedBlacks and shut Pickett's big-mouth up, I'll know they are just pretenders to a good team.
It looks like Pickett suffered an achilles injury today in Hamilton and, if so, would be out for the season.
