Looking at the radar, lightning may not be much of a factor by 8 pm.
Sure hope so. According to the weather network still 59% chance of lightning until 9 pm. If the game gets rescheduled for tomorrow. I won't be able to make it.

Not sure if it's Lidster or Lirim kicking for us tonight. We've had inconsistent kicking all season. The wet field conditions won't help with that.

The Argos should not be losing at the half and yet they are.

A frustrating game to watch so far. The defence played well the past 3 games and started well tonight, but the past 17 minutes haven't been good enough. The offence needs to be more consistent, also.

I would like to see the defence force some turnovers in the 2nd half.

If we lose this game despite Hamilton taking all these penalties, it's unacceptable. Looking good after 3 quarters but still a one possession game.

Argos discover a power inside run game with 2 big backs - who knew ?

The enigma that is the Argos win another game. They made mistakes but fortunately Hamilton made more.

It seemed to me that the run game got going after Kolankowski started playing on the offensive line. Perhaps he is familiar with the Hamilton defensive line sets, but for whatever reason the run game got better.

The defence tightened up in the second half with fewer wide open receivers, but it is still hard to understand what defensive schemes the Argos are running. The defensive ends were basically useless unless it was Lemon playing end. Darkangelo rarely was involved in plays. And the best receiver Hamilton had last week was left wide open on several plays.

Two away games coming up of course, Sask and Hamilton. Then two home games. Onward and steady as she goes.

An impressive response against the Puddy Tats after laying an egg last week. It was really nice to see the running game come alive tonight. We did a great job of ball security tonight after turning the ball over 11 times in the last 2 games. Hopefully we can become a more balanced offence from this point on (wishful thinking perhaps?). I believe that we need to get second place to secure a play-off spot; winning on Labour Day would go a long way towards accomplishing that.

A couple of pleasing stats from the game--1)145 yds rushing with Smith almost getting 100 (99). 2) Argos sacked Ford 4 times and kept Kelly clean the whole game. Lemon played another strong game. Who would have thought when Chatfield went down that 37 year old Lemon would play such a key role on the Argo D.

Great game to be at. The weather delay wasn't that bad. Pleasantly surprised how we contained Ford for the most part. He probably only had 2 to 4 decent scramble plays.

That strip sack fumble by Lemon I think it was after Lidster's missed field goal was huge and pretty much sealed the game for us as it led to a touchdown.

Always great to be the rival Tiger Cats even though they didn't have Bo.

Didn't notice Wynton McManis at all other than the opening coin flip lol
