It was another rough night for the Toronto Argonauts, who fell once again yesterday in what’s become a frustrating theme this season. The loss felt all too familiar: missed opportunities, costly turnovers, and a team that just couldn’t find its rhythm when it mattered most. As a long-time fan, it’s been a really tough season to watch. You keep waiting for that spark, that moment where things click, but it just hasn’t come together this year at all.
Game Recap & Highlights
- The Stampeders defeated the Argos 44 – 13 at McMahon Stadium.
- Calgary’s quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. completed 12 of 14 passes for 213 yards and three touchdowns, powering their offense early and often.
- Stampeders running back Dedrick Mills rushed for 115 yards and added significant receiving yards, helping break down the Argos defence.
- Calgary’s defence racked up four sacks, a forced fumble and picked up a defensive touchdown when cornerback Adrian Greene returned an interception for 64 yards.
- For Toronto, the bright spot was receiver Jake Herslow, who caught seven passes for 92 yards, capping off a solid individual season despite the team’s rough night.
- The Argos offence struggled: Quarterback Cameron Dukes completed 15 of 19 passes for 119 yards with an interception before Tucker Horn came in and finished 4 of 8 for 18 yards and another interception.
The truth is, the Argos just haven’t been able to put it together this year at all. There have been flashes of potential, no doubt about it, but consistency has been missing from the start. It’s been a long, uphill battle, and at this point, that tiny hope for the playoffs is all gone. Realistically, the remainder of this season is about pride and finishing strong, maybe setting a tone for what’s ahead next year.
What This Means
👎 The Argos’ loss clinched their regular season at 5-13, placing them out of playoff contention.
👍 Calgary, meanwhile, improved to 10-7 and secured their spot in the playoffs, showing the gap between the two teams this year.
This was the Argos’ final regular-season game, and it underscored just how many changes are needed for next year. But isn’t that what being a Toronto sports fan is all about: Optimism, loyalty, and maybe a little stubbornness? We’ve seen this team bounce back before, and there’s no reason they can’t do it again with the right adjustments and energy heading into next season.
And hey, at least there’s the Toronto Blue Jays giving us something to smile about right now. October baseball isn’t a bad distraction.
👏 Go Jays Go 👏
