im sorry did i see on here that only 12000 were out for this game? lol thats bad even for pre-season. in wpg we had 28792.

lol… doubled and then some torontos attendance. LOL.

it was super warm out today tho and the buddy vouchers but im surprised that most teams dont do the buddy vouchers for preseason, or do they? if they do and only 12k showed up in toronto… OUCH.

Dont worry about it Toronto always gets shitty crowds for preseason because its…preseason. Once the season gets rolling the people will come. The team has to earn it though.

Skydump, Toronto, I was expecting less than 10000 to be honest.

But if I was going to make the effort, which I don’t anymore, for a Jays vs Yankess / vs Argos preseason game, it would be Argos preseason and it would’t matter who they played, and the Argos aren’t even my team.

Probably a good idea you didn’t make the trek, it wasn’t a great game. Fun if you take a kid (I took my little niece) so when she wants to get up and chase Jason (the mascot) around for an autograph in the 2nd quarter I don’t mind.

Argos take it 13-10. Only about 12,000 there but Toronto never has good preseason crowds. Itll pick up once the season starts. Anyway, Hamilton couldnt seem to get anything going in the 2nd half and Toronto’s defence was strong throughout. I think this will be the theme in Toronto, the defence and special teams will bail out the offence and field goals/defensive TD’s will make the difference. Based on what I heard (couldnt attend the game) I thought Dalton Bell and Ken Dorsey were the best QB’s, which surprised me since Dorsey looked horrible at rookie camp. Lemon sounded like he couldn’t hit Lake Ontario and Brannigan struggled a lot. My bet is that Bell starts on the 1st and if he struggles then eiter Lemon or Dorsey will take over. Here’s to a fresh start in Argoland, and hopefully we steal a few wins like we did today. :thup:

Lemon IMO played well, his receivers didn’t I think Webb and Rideau hand multi drop balls in the first quarter. His stats don’t reflect his play.

Brannagan did struggle. You also got to factor in the Hamilton’s few starters were already pulled from the game in the 4th. I Would like to see Bell start in the next pre-season game.

IMO pre-season doesn't mean squat. Teams aren't playing their starters much & just evaluating the new talent... Having said that: The fact that the Argos won a game is promising. It was by a slim margin, but the fact is that they showed some signs of life!... So I'm encouraged. I can't wait for Canada Day!!!

I’m only talking based on what I heard, not what I saw. I heard there were some dropped passes but I dont know how bad it was or how catchable the passes were. I’ll wait until I actually see them in action before i make any judgements.
