TORONTO — President Bill Manning has plenty to be happy about regarding the Toronto Argonauts. Toronto (14-2) boasts the CFL's best record and could tie the league's single-season record by winning its final two regular-season contests.
Toronto boasts the CFL's best record and could tie the league's single-season record by winning its final two regular-season contests. Another victory would match the franchise best established in 1996-97 when late head coach Don Matthews and all-star quarterback Doug Flutie guided the Argos to consecutive Grey Cup titles.
"We've seen over the last two seasons just such a surge in popularity with our tickets, merchandise and TV viewership. It's really exciting that things are progressing in the right way, both on and off the field." " years ago I was at a game with my oldest son, John, and he said, 'Dad, you know you have a problem when all the jerseys in the stadium are of your GM,'" Manning said in reference to the No. 31 current general manager Mike Clemons donned as a player."It was an interesting observation.
Toronto has scored 30 or more points in seven-of-eight contests at BMO Field. Both of its losses have come on the road but the Argos clinched first in the East Division for a third straight year under head coach Ryan Dinwiddie with a 23-20 victory in Montreal on Sept. 15. A big key to Toronto's on-field success this season has been its ability to play complementary football.
Defensively, Toronto stands second behind Winnipeg in fewest offensive points allowed and is tops against the run . But the Argos are eighth against the pass , seventh in TD tosses allowed and last in completion percentage .
