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.”

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

Roll him out. Use his legs.

Als best bet might be to try some max protect. Faj will turn it over if this keeps up.

Yes. They need to mix it up.

Fajardo collapses in the pocket under even the slightest pressure.

Haven't seen the Fajardian spinarama in a while.

That's Calvillo calling a game the way he played in Hamilton. 

That’s exactly the cushion I don’t want to see our DB’s give. 

No cushion, clamp down.

Soft zone.

It's not the OL, it's Faj with absolutely ZERO pocket presence.

Montreal will take turnovers and 3’s from Argoblows all game if they can get just a bit of production from their O.

It's the OL. On one sack the lineman was pushed into Faj on a straight bullrush. And Calvillo calling plays where the routes take too long.

That appears to be a TALL order at this point. I'd say another pick 6 is more likely.

6 of one, half a dozen of the other.

AC needs not to be stubborn to sticking to the GP they set out and adjust to take  what TO is offering.

Montreal playcalling must be giving Lapo the warm fuzzies.

Neither are doing each other any favors right now

And Faj is holding onto the ball too long but it's not fair to just dump on him when it's such a team effort. 

unlike these teams, bombers do not give up on running the ball. 

 

 

 

Anybody catch the Chad Kelly pregame sideline interview?  I'm quite convinced he has gotten away with more than one murder.

I mean, Montreal’s playing at their absolute best right now. Toronto is way better than them and they’re somehow holding onto a lead.

Oh good next we are going to get highlights of CK’s peewee championships.

Why is Kelly the only qb mic'd up?

I can't look at Chad Kelly without seeing the Toxic Avenger
