Great game!  For the third consecutive week, BC started strong and then fizzled.  But this time they got it together in the second half, and pulled it out.

Take a look at this catch by Edmonton's Calvin McCarty!  Catch of the year?

For the most part, a defensive struggle.  Cato was sacked eight times, including three by Odell Willis. 

Grant Shaw has been hot all year, but tonight he missed three field goals badly.  But he won it with a good kick on the last play of the game.

http://www.cfl.ca/article/argonauts-use-fourth-quarter-surge-to-down-blue-bombers

Fun game.  See-saw battle.  The Bombers enjoyed a 20-14 lead five minutes into the fourth quarter.  Then the Argos' AJ Jefferson returned a punt 70 yards for a touchdown.  The convert gave the Argos the lead 21-20.  The Argos scored another TD with less than five minutes to go to ice the game.

Robert Marve had a pretty good game.  It's been amazing to me how many young QB's have been forced to start this year, and have looked pretty good.  Marve is the fourteenth QB to start a game this year.

Not a bad game, but mostly a defensive battle which went by the numbers.

This is the Als' first win at BC Place since 2000!

Swayze Waters will return to the Argos' lineup this week, so the Argos have released Ronnie Pfeffer.  Brandon Whitaker will also be back.

See-saw battle!  The Argos took the last lead with seven minutes to go in the fourth. 

It looks like the Redblacks will have to be considered a competitive team this year.  The Argos are 6-2 for the first time since 1997.
