Nice win but our defense will remain charmin soft and an accident waiting to happen as long as Thorpe is in charge, he's a hack and shouldn't have been brought back. I expect Winnipeg to score at will next week, hope I'm wrong.

Good thing this is the CFL, and you just need to beat the other Eastern teams to make the playoffs, and then anything can happen.

Defensive line is absolute crap. Absolutely no pass rush. Hard to tell if the rest of the defense is adequate when they have to cover guys for 10 seconds.
Offense
QB - pretty good
Receivers - good
Stanback - good
Offensive line and coaching - dog shit
All blitzes by Hamilton were successful - Coaches too damn stupid to counter it

It's amazing that Als idiot GM was able to assemble an entire group of offensive and defensive linemen that any 10 year old could manhandle. Every one a worthless sack of crap.

I know most people here couldn't care less but this team sucks so much man, it's embarrassing to watch. Impotent offensive and defensive lines, no discipline, no cohesion, stupid mistakes, typical soft-ass Thorpe defense...

This team is going nowhere, same shitty product we've been fed for the last decade+. We're talking about a 9-team league here, no having a true contending team for that long is not normal. Something's got to give at some point.

O-line, D-line and special teams are not up to snuff. No huge revelation there, however 24 in the defensive backfield is a real hitter. That call on his pick-six was very ticky-tack!!!!

You can always count on Thorpe's putrid defense to give up big plays in crunch time, that Ento guy is trash and our D-line is one of the worst I've ever seen.

O-line also continues to be comically bad, will Macioca do his fu***** job and fix these key positions at some point or is this clown show good enough for him?

Was as the game tonight, and welp... Only reason it was a one possession game was the crazy amount of penalties by the Argos and Fajardo miraculously escaping the pocket at key moments. O-line and D-Line were outclassed. Our receivers missed key catches. Defense got exposed...
Sadly, this is not a contending team...

I got off the Als bandwagon when they went bankrupt and became the Concordes. Got back on for a time because Anthony Calvillo is so damn inspiring.

Calvillo retired and lost interest until … they came out with their new logo. Also got influenced by @Adam Michaels and his unbridled passion for the team — reminded me of how I used to be so much into the team.

Now, I don’t know what to think. I’m basically intrigued by the poutine helmet and by the idea of taking part in a tailgate without attending a game. Real nice to see some hardcore fans in here riding every moment.

I don’t know how good Danny Maciocia is at his job but there’s something terribly annoying and sleep-inducing whenever the media is interviewing him. Danny, you’re a rich f***, try buying yourself a personality.

Read today Carl Crennel died. He was one of my all time favorite players. Big part of '77 Grey Cup. That was great team.

I watched exactly parts of one game this season and it reminded me of most of the games I've watched AC (after Calvillo)
No rsustained offense, no rythym, and the defense hanging on by a thread to beat a shitty Calgary team. Good Gawd

I’m at the game. My friend knows a millionaire who couldn’t attend so we have his seats first row behind the opposing team’s bench, at the 30 yard line.

Getting to the stadium was brutal. Took Park avenue up to Pine where a there was a ton of traffic. No parking to be found so I ended up on Peel and Sherbrooke and then faced a steep uphill climb to Pine. Good thing I’ve been working out otherwise I’d have died a few deaths.

The ambiance is nice, the fans get involved but if you have a kid screaming out of his lungs right behind you or a drunk, you can experience hearing loss. I’m not getting caught again, I’m buying pro ear plugs.

Als trailing 17-6 with 3:19 to go in the 2nd quarter.

Wanted to buy an Als hat with the oversized logo but none were available as it was only offered last year. Now they only sell the one with the small logo surrounded by a circle of letters, which looks tacky.

No food is included with these seats and if you saw the hotdog I got at a concession stand, it was suitable for a 5-year old. Plus you have to apply condiments from packets, which is not appetizing. Best to eat home if you’re headed here.

Als - no coach, no play caller, no defensive line, no offensive line. Don't think they have run a trick play all season. Forgot one - no balls.
