What a horrible roughing the passer penalty to take that leads to a TD before the 3 minute warning. Inexcusable.

It's going to be interesting if Kelly gets cleared to play later on in the season on what they'll do. Arbuckle has been truly amazing despite our trash record

Victory formation.

When things go mostly right the Argos have shown they can win a game. Congrats particularly to the defence as while the offence played very well, the defence held BC to 33 points.

And who is this O J Brown running back guy and where has he been all season?

Congrats to the Argos!

Well, that was a nice surprise!!

I think it would be interesting if they were 8-3 rather than 3-8. If Kelly does in fact get added to the roster, he is their starter.

It was a fantastic day at the stadium. An absolute gem of an offensive game plan from Dinwiddie, perfectly executed by Arbuckle.
Herslow maybe should have been in the line up all year. He’s a gamer. Brissett and Mital also with Big games.
Big time hit by McManis causing the fumble by “the chosen one” who apparently can’t be touched without a flag following the play.
Yes the D gave up 34 points, but I thought there were some pretty nice pass break ups in the secondary, specifically Bratton and Franklin. O-line was also much better. Kemp at LT has been an improvement.

Overall, I used 9 tickets for the game, and everyone had a blast.

- Arbuckle was fantastic yesterday, he didn't turn the ball over, and maybe made 1 bad decision, but that was it. 400+ yards through the air, 3 passing touchdowns and 1 rushing touchdown.
- OL played well, the Argos even rushed for >100 yards, McMahon got hurt, but Spencer Brown looks like he could be a solid find.
- Jake Herslow put on a show.
- D allowed its points, but also made plays, Benjie pick-six and McManis strip-sack

Fortunately, Farhan Lalji is not an official.

Great crowd and atmosphere at the stadium yesterday, and most stayed right to the end. Other than opening night in 2016, I don’t recall a bigger crowd for a regular season game. Anyone know the attendance?
