And Fajardo reverted back to his shitty self. Can’t make a second read, always panics.
No pass rush this game. Nothing

I called it. Refs gave the game to the Argos with that bullshit pass interference call.

I couldn't believe it, 4 fumbles
Weren't going to beat Winnipeg with Fajardo at QB. And you know he would never be pulled. Alexander better be the starting QB next season.

Wak Prescott the 60M/yr scam artist, here we gooo!
Sorry for the delay I didn’t see the notification for some reason.
Cowboys are hot garbage and will never sniff another meaningful game as long as Jerry Jones and his inbred family own the team, don’t worry I’m well aware of that by now.
As for the Als well they shot themselves in the foot today, should have been an easy win without the stupid mistakes. And if they don’t give the team to Alexander next season they’re a bunch of incompetent clowns.
I have watched McCarthy blow at least a couple of championships for Green Bay with stupid conservative play calling at the end of the game. He will always run 3 times and punt when one pass for a first down ends the game.
And fans need to revolt if Alexander doesn't start next season. He can find a secondary receiver, throw on the run accurately (even to the other side of the field).

I feel you, not a fan of McCarthy either and didn't like the hire from the start but he was the perfect puppet for Jerry. His ego can't handle innovative head coaches with a backbone who want full control over their roster, he wants the spotlight for himself so we always end up with soft unimaginative yes men.
He'd rather keep losing his way than hire someone competent who would end up getting more credit than him like Jimmy Johnson in the 90's, he never got over it. Last real coach we had was Parcells almost 20 years ago and he left after a few seasons because he couldn't take working for a senile buffoon with a god complex who was constantly interfering with his decisions anymore.
But back to the Als... Yeah, super disappointed and without the 37 fumbles we probably win this game in spite of Fajardo's shitty performance. Defense couldn't stop them when it mattered, we need a disrupting Lemon-type guy on the D-line badly.
Alexander should have started that game imo but it was never going to happen so no point torturing myself over it I guess. What I know is they better give him some guarantees or he'll just leave next winter, teams will be all over him. We can't afford to end up without a legit QB for a decade like when Calvillo left. Fajardo is done, thanks for 2023 bud but Alexander is the present and the future. Do the right thing please, don't mess it up.
Alouettes extend QB Alexander on three-year deal: 'Entrusting him with the leadership of the team' | TSN
The Montreal Alouettes have signed quarterback Davis Alexander to a three-year contract that runs through the 2027 season. Alexander is now set to move forward as the team's starting quarterback, while Cody Fajardo's future with the club appears to be in doubt.

Good news. Alexander is the starting QB
It's a pleasant surprise that they decided to go forward with Alexander instead of Fajardo.
i would be happy to keep Fajardo as backup if he is willing to stay and put him in if Alexander falters.
That ship has sailed, they need to do what it appears every other team is capable of, forget retreads and bring in 2-3 young QB's to develop behind Alexander.
They did bring in Alexander and a few teams don't have any QB's CFL calibre. Is Fajardo still under contract?
Yes, one more year, they will either release him or if he indeed wants to stay, he'll need to restructure his contract.

I think we still need to bring a backup with experience if something happen wigh DA. I would like Jake Maier
Maier is terrible and they would be going nowhere if they had to start him for very long. For a few games until Alexander came back he might be useful.
Agreed, prefer testing out unknown young QB's in that situation instead of ones we already know are terrible.

I think he’s a fine 1B/backup, and better then most backup
Can’t go with a backup without experience if something happen. Maier is not a good option for a #1 QB, but he can make the job for a couple of game of DA is injured
