Official game day thread - Eastern Final Montreal at Toronto

The Zipp · November 13, 2022, 05:16:00 PM

Really focused on the Bomber game but keeping an eye on this one along with NFL.

Will Andrew Harris make a difference? I think the Argos D is underrated.

The Zipp · November 13, 2022, 05:20:47 PM

Banks with a miracle catch. Never hit the ground

blue_gold_84 · November 13, 2022, 05:21:31 PM

Argos' run game could be the difference today with Harris and Ouellette carrying the rock.

Crazy catch by Banks. Hard to tell if the ball touches the turf but not enough to overturn the call on the field.

The Zipp · November 13, 2022, 05:22:36 PM

Playoff Harris can be scary...good for him

blue_gold_84 · November 13, 2022, 05:22:48 PM

And Harris gets the Argos on the board.

Lincoln Locomotive · November 13, 2022, 05:25:51 PM

Harris makes a difference....make no mistake. Argo D is good.....underrated!

blue_gold_84 · November 13, 2022, 05:26:47 PM

Unreal catch by Philpot.

Lincoln Locomotive · November 13, 2022, 05:36:53 PM

Dinwiddie didn't want to challenge that second down attempt to Banks....who seemed to have a knee in bounds. This followed by a shanked punt and subsequent 10 penalty for kicking out of bounds. Montreal unable to get their running game going and then Harris fumbles....wild momentum swings! Toront9 now has the MO

The Zipp · November 13, 2022, 05:37:48 PM

MBT is fired up

Lincoln Locomotive · November 13, 2022, 05:39:13 PM

AH 2 touches for 37 yards and a TD...,yeah he wants it!!

Lincoln Locomotive · November 13, 2022, 05:42:19 PM

TO is in the zone....Harris is not. 14-3 and throw in an objectionable conduct penalty. The wind IS a factor and TO scored two majors against it!

Horseman · November 13, 2022, 05:43:17 PM

Everything going Toronto's way early.

northof30 · November 13, 2022, 05:43:43 PM

Well if Toronto wins and Bombers win someone is going to get a 3peat, either the Bombers or Harris.

Lincoln Locomotive · November 13, 2022, 05:43:47 PM

Who said Muamba was underrated? Still hits a ton!

At the very beginning of the season I predicted a Bomber/Argo/AH33 Grey Cup match! BC will try their damndest to prevent that from happening.

Hopefully they don't succeed!

Horseman · November 13, 2022, 06:00:01 PM

It looks like Toronto will be going to the cup, this is getting way out of hand for Mtl.

The Zipp · November 13, 2022, 06:00:40 PM

Danny M looking lost on the sideline...

Lincoln Locomotive · November 13, 2022, 06:05:11 PM

Not looking good at all for the Als....game is over barring a miracle.

3rdand1.5 · November 13, 2022, 06:06:19 PM

Not to take anything away from T.O but Mtrl looks unprepared.

T.O is destroying them in energy.

Lincoln Locomotive · November 13, 2022, 06:09:40 PM

Montreal HAD to score quickly or the game would have been out of hand. If they can force TO to punt before the half....and then score it could still be a game. So far the Argo offence has been impressive....and they continue to be. MBT is showing his wares and why he leads the league in passing yardage!

Horseman · November 13, 2022, 06:12:36 PM

Mtl D cannot stop Tor.

blue_gold_84 · November 13, 2022, 06:12:44 PM

Alouettes defense is a mess today.

Lincoln Locomotive · November 13, 2022, 06:20:16 PM

Should have run the ball to Harris on 2nd and 3

Blue In BC · November 13, 2022, 06:32:26 PM

Neither defence is playing all that well IMO. Neither team is running that much which is a surprise considering the talent available.

W. McManis injured early.

blue_gold_84 · November 13, 2022, 07:01:14 PM

Als back in it after that opening drive.

Banks is such a diva.

peg_city · November 13, 2022, 07:07:21 PM

Brandon Banks has to be the biggest complainer in the league

dd · November 13, 2022, 07:10:24 PM

montreal has stopped the argos offense from scoring in the second half and have closed the gap to be within 3 pts. Next touchdown wins this game.

dd · November 13, 2022, 07:36:18 PM

Harris has not played much in 2nd half, spending alot of time on trainers table. Father time is calling him.....

DM83 · November 13, 2022, 07:55:01 PM

I thought Harris andOulette dominated..
Good for Andrew.

dd · November 13, 2022, 08:00:41 PM

Harris caught the one pass for a TD out of the backfield and Oulette had the big run in the first half...not so much in the second half, with the big lead, i thought they'd just pound the ball and chew up the clock, but they didn't. Big blown coverage by Montreal or this game may have went the other way.

dd · November 13, 2022, 08:04:50 PM

MBT is such a weird dude, awkward interview post game.

pjrocksmb · November 13, 2022, 08:11:57 PM

MBT shows he's a top QB, lots of noise this year against him
Harris proves many wrong, he still has it
Father time was ticking they said
Can only run through tackles they cried
Nice to watch a lot of these stars out East
I only caught the 2nd half, hit the AM surf

MBT is a turnover machine over his entire career. He's MR inconsistent as well.

DM83 · November 14, 2022, 12:22:29 AM

Lol!
I agree there is something odd about that guy MBT.
Super inconsistent.
I cheer for him because he seems to:try and ? go for it?. But then he has disappointed me , so I have written him off, as one of those erratic Eastern QBs.

Who would Dinwiddie rather have as his quarterback, MBT or Bo ? Wouldn?t that re- unite the passing game guys from Calgary.?s last Greg cup. Championship team?

Not sure what 2023 brings. TSN mentioned that MBT might be retiring due to other business interests and a bank full of money. Aside from that he's a free agent as well. So the Argos may need to pick up BLM.

Horseman · November 14, 2022, 01:56:06 AM

I'm glad MBT had a good game in the EF, that means he will **** the bed in the GC.

dd · November 14, 2022, 02:37:41 AM

I m not sure any team is going to gamble on BLM shoulder. I hope he continues playing, heck Edmonton would be the perfect fit for him and those battle of Alberta?s would be epic!!

But I am thinking he?s going to look at his options and go to a team that?s a contender and has a good O line. If I was him, I?d be going to BC, wicked receiving corps, play indoors, and great O line, great Head Coach, and you ll be contending right out of the gate. That would put Adams out on th street and he ll go to the Riders

Pigskin · November 14, 2022, 03:50:54 AM

AH33 did okay. 72 combined yards for the game. And was nicked up again.

I'm already tired of the "Andrew Harris revenge GC" narrative and it's only a few hours old.

you know tsns going to harp on it, they always seem to pick one focus and beat it to death...and Harris likely won't even be Argos primary back

TBURGESS · November 14, 2022, 03:19:53 PM

Argos running game should scare us. You need to be able to run against our D to be successful. The Argos have 2 quality RB's who can be on the field together & Harris will be playing angry. That's when he's at his best.

i was thinking the same as Oue"let's and Harris were a great 1-2 punch in that game. They will pick their spots for when to use him but there is no denying the emotion he will have bottled up inside him since leaving Winnipeg. Pinball being a super star RB himself knows this about AH and picked him up in a heartbeat because he's a winner. The two back system helps Andrew out as they can just key on him because Ouellete can do damage as well.
Our D pretty much stopped Butler and it will be a chore for them to stop both.....Brady is chomping at the bit as well and he's on a mission for the fans of Winnipeg and to show Andrew that he is our number one guy for a reason. These two....Brady and Andrew are still friends and talk to each other....however come next Sunday they will be both putting it all on the line. It's a fascinating scenario sports fans and we get to watch it unfold!
Early in the season I predicted this rematch and how it goes down remains to be seen.....the Bombers know very well how Andrew can play when he's angry and they are already preparing and as Biggie said "laser focused" on the task at hand in front of him.
