All this with the Stamps with 60% of their roster.
Well Dave pissed his challenge away with a completely unwinable challenge. Would be interesting to see where he falls on that. I would think he would near the bottom on that. He makes some real questionable calls in that facet.

Only positive this game is that Nick played decent. We still would've lost with BLM. Too many mistakes and dumb penalties and the lack of a running game all season cost them.

The running game is a direct result of the garbage o-line play and the fact that every team in he league knows Dave is going to run it up the middle on first down each and very possession.

Oh well. We lost to the best team in the East dressing half our roster. We will be fine. Can’t wait to beat up on Toronto next week.

Meh, Hamilton didn't do a lot. Stamps just shot themselves in the foot... or blew their leg off with a grenade launcher considering they could have just as easily been on their way to a blowout at the half. Still lame.

Special teams and ball security (receiver hands) killed this team. The defense held Hamilton to very little. If you hold a team under 20 points defensively you should win.


I also don't think the O-line played that well.

Definitely a game the Stamps could have easily won, much like game 1

As much as how crappy the game the Stamps play, a big thumbs up to TSN for that amazing crowd noise. It kept a mostly boring game, except for a few big special team plays, super exciting. Also it kind of drowned out Rod Black too.

Dude, calm down. We've had one of the most successful franchises since the 90's. Dave has been a big reason for that. We've had a lot of injuries this year, so give it time.

Sure there have been errors but with the talent lost and injuries, this team is better than i thought they would be. Hanging in with the top team in the east with 6 or 7 top starters from our d gone from last year. there is room for improvement but i am encouraged

I'm kind of surprised after they have come off of a couple of big wins.

Right decision, wrong timing... despite the Als looking like a decent team right now this is the smart choice

I thought I'd seen it all. Hardaway???? That's just insane.

@CFL_News:
There’s a good possibility the Alouettes could have new owners in place by the end of the month in brothers Peter and Jeffrey Lenkov. - @StuCowan1 #CFL #LCF #MontreALS

@HerbZurkowsky:
I’m told American agent Johnathon Hardaway was recently approached to become #AlsMTL GM.

Defensive line has dominated the past two games. Can’t say I saw that coming. Defense was really good all things considered and it seems most of the major issues with the team fall at the feet of the OC. The offensive line has been bad as have the receivers. This season I’m not sure the defense can cover up Dickenson’s mediocre play calling like last season. Three games now he’s just abandoned the run and I don’t think that’s what you want to do when your offensive line has issues pass blocking and receivers have not shown to be reliable.

2-2 isn’t that bad early in the season given the injuries as they already have wins against the two teams behind them so just got to hang around until fall in hopes of getting some starters back for the stretch drive.

Apparently Reed’s firing has more to do with his shady financial handlings

When I hear of circumventing the cap in the CFL I assume he's just paying players on the side. That said I've always been skeptical of the CFL and how they handle the cap given the secrecy of contracts.
