Thanks for enjoying our game. As for attendance last night was a Thursday night game in a province where fans drive several hours for a game. We have a five hour trip each way so if we want to see a Thursday game we have to take 2 days off work.

Attendance depends on the province and the city. Toronto doesn't give two fs about CFL unfortunately. Saskatchean is fine, Winnipeg is great, Hamilton is fine, Ottawa is great, Montreal is great. Calgary is okay, Edmonton not doing good but that is expected, the team is not doing good and people are not interested in them, BC is doing okay.

​@teo_heel as an argos fan myself, unfortunately the city as a whole doesn't bother with the game anymore which hurts but the fans who do go I'd say are as hard-core as any in the league. The games saw growing up in the 80s were great but for me moving into the dome killed a lot of interest in the city. I hated games there. They should be playing outdoors in all weather. The move to bmo field was so amazing. Playoff games in the snow by the lake are so great I'm always after everyone to go. They don't know what they're missing.

Most of the boys are American too. Canada doesn’t have enough sports colleges as the state s. In past many come from states to play CFL to get experience hopefully go to NFL. But I think USFLand XFL are hurting the league, a lot of players going there.

@@maryannemelenka9250about half the teams roster can be “international” mainly get Americans though

BEST UNIFORMS

It seems that it might be gone...

@@teo_heel are they also talking about changing the kickoff?

@@Jefff72 from what I heard, yes. They decided to wait and see for this season.

@@teo_heel I don't believe so. The CFL will keep the kickoff because it is one of the few sporting moment that make it's game exciting like a the Queen's Plate, Kentucky Derby, a NHL Game 7 OT goal, a walk off homer in Baseball. The NFL killed off kickoffs making their game boring

@@davidbuswa9425 you know that CFL is working with NFL and what NFL decides almost surely will be in CFL? But I agree, CFL should not do so.

I was really happy with the lack of penalties. But I saw some holding the officials missed by both teams, or maybe the officials are just letting some of the small stuff go so the game keeps flowing? Either way it looked about equal for each team so I’m OK with it.

Argos got 20 to Montreal's 30. It's certainly gonna be a fun match-up in week 8. I'm looking at a 09/10 rematch now. The Riders look good, but the Als have just dominated. Only 1 of the 4 games had less than a 10 point difference in score (23-20 @ Elks, Week 2). Bombers: Bombed Argos: Shipwrecked RedBlacks: 30-1 Als @ Halftime

@@jecrex8349 Redblacks looked okay in the 2nd half... but yeah, they were completely destroyed by Als in the 1st half.

The Rider D forced a couple of turnovers and the others were a combination of good defensive playing and being in the right place at the right time. It wasn’t all Toronto…

More like "real" lucky. LOL!

As a rider fan im optimistic, the defense has been really good but you can't expect 4-5 turnovers a game. Eventually that will stop so we'll see if they start winning games without depending on that and i'll feel even better

If they beat the alouettes then they'll be a scary team, and I say this as a roughrider fan in sk

As a riders fan you should know they do this every year than slowly deplete lol. But good to see them pull off the wins.

@@ericscott8568maybe this year will be different? We have a different coach and a lot of different players.

Playoff games in recent seasons have been really exciting.

Feel sorry for you that you are trapped in the USA. Personally I haven't traveled there since 2016 for obvious reasons.

Oh yeah. Nothing better than watching Americans play in our league more often than we play in theirs.

@@CanadianPhinsFan853 It's not the players, it's the game.

No idea.

As a rider fan I wonder the same ! He’s the best returner in the league !

He is good but did your team get rid of him? There is a lot of politics behind the scenes that we never see so it might not be that simple. Either way let’s just be glad that he is playing here in Canada entertaining us.

@@TimDyck I guess that his contract ended and Winnipeg didn't renew it.

The thing is... originally all gridiron games had 3 downs... but Americans decided that they couldn't do much with 3 downs.

lololol the world needs footage of this legend

Kelly is... not a good person first of all. He might never come back to CFL.

Duke was probably thinking "I got this" after winning a few games

Toronto SUCKS at making good attendance.

@@teo_heelthey gravitate towards losing teams.

@@Dani-sm8jp it's more that CFL is too little for "World Class City". But it's the other way around. Toronto is too small for CFL.

Dukes bounced alright.

I mean... most American/Canadian venues have multipurpose fields.

@@teo_heel Not so much in the US. The days of the baseball/football stadium are pretty much gone.

@@mjjoe76 Football/soccer?

@@teo_heel I know, the optics are awful for today's standards.

@@teo_heel Not American. MLS have their own stadiums.

Don't see an obvious holding. It was a block, Jonathan Edouard let go of the block on Nelson Lokombo when Grant passed them. Clear block in my book.

There definitely was holding , just like on every return , these refs suck with their inconsistency !

@@wintertime331 Don't see a holding. Like at all.

@@teo_heelI agree , and it’s no worse than all the returns that we’re called back so far this year by ALL the teams , these refs are terribly inconsistent!

@@wintertime331 it's okay... those penalties are on "referee discretion". There're no 100% subjective definitions on what is holding and what is not holding.

But Toronto won't give them back.

Nothing in particular.

Patterson is fine. Not bad, not great. It's all about the team, will they help him? They did help him tonight.

He was a young 4-5 games under his belt , he will get better with time. He scramble wells knows the offence just has to make better decisions throwing.❤️🏈

It's not better, but it is more entertaining.

Nope

I would say it is better. NFL has to many divas now.

@@user-yg1dg6xm2g it is better. In any possible way.

@@VapeTime79 Yep.

The secondary was awful as well

Tell me you don’t watch football without telling me you don’t watch football 😂😂 Fine hasn’t been on the roster in like a month and a half

I'm fine with just one foot inbounds, it makes sense.

@@teo_heel I guess with 3downs instead of 4 anyways I love the CFL.

@@jakelong1205 3 downs are also better. If forces to do bigger plays.

Game started at 7pm local time on a Thursday night. I think there would be better attendance if it was a Friday night, or Saturday game. Ticket prices aren't terrible in most sections. A lot of people like to mingle in Pil Country or the 620 CKRM Lounge.

To be honest, I watched the full game and didn't see any problems.

How tf are we supposed to see anything then? What if there’s like a 70 yard deep shot? We wouldn’t be able to see anything? Maybe you should just stop watching if a little camera movement bothers you that much

To be honest, 3 out of 4 interceptions were not Dukes' fault.

@@teo_heel Yes, they were.

@@yxmichaelxyyxmichaelxy3074 Interception by Deontai Williams is clearly him stealing the ball from Damonte Coxie who was trying to catch the pass. Pick six by Marcus Sayles - pass flew through the hands of Damonte Coxie. Coxie is responsible for two interceptions. And he knew that, after the second interception caused by him not catching the ball he was visibly disappointed in his game. Yes, first Rolan Milligan interception is mostly on Dukes, Milligan red the passing route and easily cut the route. Second one... yeah, Dukes also didn't do well. 2 out 4, my bad.

@@teo_heel He should have seen Williams. He threw into excellent coverage.

@@yxmichaelxyyxmichaelxy3074 What do you mean? Coxie had space to catch the ball, but he just volleyball passed it to Williams.

Not many step into this league and light it up. Give him some time

Dukes is okay. He has almost no pro experience.

You thought that you're so funny? Nope. Dukes did okay'ish... Saskatchewan defense was having a fun time with Dukes, he was forced to make mistakes.

@@teo_heel Can't make mistakes and win, Einstein. Dimwit needs to go also. Play calling sucks.

@@lawrencejeffrey9245 Say that to Winnipeg in 2021 West Final. So many turnovers (6 to be exact) and they still win.

Hmmm 4 picks and a fumble that’s not exactly a winning formula

But they lost.

@@teo_heel Well meet again.

@@johnbrowne2170 And lose again? Cool. :D

If they wanted to win they shouldn't have had five turnovers

Do you have season tickets

23923 fans were on the stadium. 71,7% of the full capacity. Not bad at all.

And are you sure that EVERY game crowd is terrible? I'm not so sure. Ottawa, Winnipeg and Montreal are doing awesome in terms of attendance.

Proudly going to every Lions game this year.

The team sucking the most attendance wise is Edmonton .
