Figured maybe we could use a thread specific to the warmup game

Seen on Reddit:

“Just like last season, the Toronto Argonauts and visiting Montreal Alouettes will meet at BMO Field with a trip to the Grey Cup on the line in Saturday’s East Division final. This will be the third year in a row that the road to the championship game will go through Toronto.

For the Argonauts, their focus is on getting back to the big game. The Alouettes are looking to break a 13-year drought since their last Grey Cup appearance back in 2010, which was also when they won their last championship.

The Argonauts are back in the playoffs for a third-straight season with head coach Ryan Dinwiddie. Toronto is also hosting its third-straight East final and is looking to reach the Grey Cup for the third time in six seasons (the 2020 season was cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic).

The Alouettes, are making their third-straight appearance in the playoffs and first under new head coach Jason Maas. Montreal hasn’t won a divisional final since 2010, going 0-3 in that span — including two losses to the Argonauts.”

The Als need some hot routes. Can't just have longer routes to throw downfield 

why dont these teams run the ball?

Montreal OL creamed on a straight bull rush.

The Als O looks like it is no threat. They have done nothing.

The longer the game remains close,  confidence grows with the Montreal players they can actually win this game.

Games been entirely played in their half of the field. Won’t hold out long like this.

Argos starting every drive at mid field

Ouelette does the work. Harris will try to get the glory.

Yup but if they can’t keep it close going into the 4th, game on. 
 

But that’s a BIG if.

Fajardo standing like a statue in the collapsing pocket. seeing none of that rambling scrambling action that was his big strength just a few years ago.

I think their only hope was to stack a big league early, hope that TO was rusty and capitalize on some mistakes. 
 

That ship might have already sailed.

How will Montreal keep it close if the Argos constantly start at midfield & the Als O can't move the ball? This will turn into a blowout for the Argos if the Als O doesn't get going.

That's the biggest strength of that team.

Argos two trips to the Red Zone & zero points. Lol.

Not yet my friend. Not yet. If they can keep this bend don’t break thing going, who knows. 

Stanbeck isn't the same back he used to be. 

WTF Calvillo?? Call some quick passes.

But should say, don’t care who wins this game.

Just want to beat BC. That’s all I’m focussed on.

They needed the running game to carry them but can’t get it going at all.

Faj can’t complete a 2nd and long. It’s been a sack every time.

This MTL OL... Faj doesn't even have time to dance around

beauty punt by Zema.

Fajardo collapses in the pocket under even the slightest pressure.

Toronto coming with pressure because they know Faj can’t handle it.
