I don't like harping on the refs, but that PI call on Franklin when he was covering Lawler (I think it set up Bridges 4th Quarter TD) was just horrible. The Argos D have been good denying 2 point converts this season. That lone Sack yesterday turned out to be huge.

Having said that, if Dinwiddie challenged and lost, we would have lost the game. Keeping that time out was huge in leaving the Argos time to make that final play.

Agreed Coach was wise to keep the flag in his pocket.

Second place is wide open now, we have meaningful fall football ahead of us and the team can get better. Things were looking grim a month ago.

After this next weekend, everyone will have played 12 games. If BC, Montreal, and Saskatchewan all win, there could be four 6-6 teams with the Argos needing to beat out one, along with Edmonton and Ottawa who they're already ahead.

Who should we be rooting for this weekend? Ottawa, Montreal, and Saskatchewan? Ottawa would only tie the Argos with a win but Toronto holds the tiebreaker.

Obviously he defied Coach’s instructions to go down before the clock ran out, and that can’t be justified by invoking some uncontrollable football instinct that he may have experienced. He is a professional after all.

And he is lucky. This would have been one of the worst game-losing blunders in Argos history.

But it’s about time that Karma starts bending our way in 2025. I thought Bo was celebrating way too much with 18 seconds left. The football gods have spoken!

Brissett admitted after the game that he regretted not going out of bounds. He will be spoken to about it and will learn.

Easy for anyone to say from their couch. If you legit think you are going to score, nothing is stopping you to go for it at that moment. They already had a bad snap/hold combination on the previous FG attempt.

Seriously?

Every person watching the game and in the stands knew that there were only twelve seconds remaining.

Enough time for two plays. A long pass and a field goal. Make the catch and fall down or go out of bounds. No need to score a touchdown.

Polk was scolding him for the stupid play.

Have you ever been in that situation? Guessing not. Like I said, easy to say from your couch, but when you believe in your mind you have a sure TD, as I'm sue he did, you are not going to step out. Stop acting like you would have done it differently if it was you, because you would never know that, even though you think you do.

To play devil's advocate, and I still think he should have went down FWIW, does your reaction or opinion change if he got caught being out of bounds with 0 seconds left or was short getting the TD and Argos lose the game? Easier to just let bygones be bygones when the team wins, no?
