  • Postgame Reaction: Ticats 51, Argos 38
    Jul 5 2025

    It was a shootout at BMO Field, but the Toronto Argonauts couldn’t keep pace, falling 51–38 to the rival Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Ben Grant and JB break down a frustrating night where the offence finally found its rhythm - Nick Arbuckle delivered his best performance yet in relief of Chad Kelly, and Janarion Grant brought the house down with a kickoff return touchdown. But with so many starters out due to injury, the defence simply couldn’t hold up. Despite being in phase on most throws, the Boatmen gave up big play after big play to a red-hot Bo Levi Mitchell and a Hamilton offence that couldn’t seem to miss. What’s fixable, what’s encouraging, and what has to change fast as the Argos slip to 1–4 on the season? It’s all here on this week’s Postgame Reaction Podcast.

Plus, they’ll give away a pair of tickets to Friday night’s game and a six-pack of beer courtesy of Something in the Water Brewing.

    Ben Grant and JB return for another Pregame Walkthrough as the Toronto Argonauts get ready to host the Saskatchewan Roughriders at BMO Field. This week, they break down two key roster moves: the return of running back Kevin Brown and the signing of Indiana linebacker Aaron Casey. Both additions highlight growing concerns about injuries at both positions. They also dig into the quarterback situation, explaining why Coach Dinwiddie is likely to start Nick Arbuckle again. From there, it’s a deeper look at the offensive struggles - what’s stalling drives, and what the Argos can do to spark some momentum.
