Hungry for Home Cooking

The Alouettes offence is ready to go. They are primed for an outburst. They want to score touchdowns.

After scoring 51 points in a double OT loss in week 1, the Als O has dropped down to 33 points in week 2 and then 16 in week 3. But starting on the season on the road for three straight weeks the Als are coming home with a 2-1 record.

The newly renovated Percival Molson Stadium will allow 5000 more fans to witness the leagues top offence unit work. The Alouettes know how to score at home. They havent hosted a regular season football game since November 1st, and they put up 48 points on Winnipeg. If you want to throw in the East Final, The Als embarassed the Lions by scoring 56 at the Big O. Prior to that, The Als put up 41 against Hamilton at home. This was pretty much the story for the Als at Home in 2009.

If you really think about it the last time the Als lost at home was to the Calgary Stampeders in The 2008 Grey Cup on November 23rd, 2008. The last loss at McGill Stadium a month earlier in a meaningless game aginst Winnipeg 24-23.

The Als, simply put, win at home. The Alouettes offence, simply put, score at home.

Offensively through three weeks the numbers aren't great for the players.
-Avon Cobourne is 8th in rushing, he trails a group that includes Win QB Buck Pierce. The only starting RB he's out rushing is the Ti-cats DeAndra Cobb.
-No receiver on the Als have more than 13 receptions.
-Anthony Calvillo only has 6 TD passes this year, 4 came in week 1.

All that being said with the over-under sitting at 52, take the over. The Als will be having some Home-cooking in their opener.

Post Game Alservations: Flag on the Field

Game two is in the books, and for an Als that is the reigning Grey Cup Champ, there is still alot of work to do.

Very sloppy affair against the Eskimos, however winning on the road is not easy for the Als in Edmonton or BC therefore a win is a win is a win.

-The Als defense is taking too many chances early on in the season, and teams are taking notice by going deep.

-When you tug on a jersey, the refs notice.

-Round of applause for the Campbell and Stamps drops, Als fans better give them a hand, cause the Als D needed the boost.

-Taking chances works sometimes, #39 with a solid INT that changed the pace of the game, that was not pass intereference, he wanted the ball more.

-INTs at the end of the half shouldn't count in stats.

-Als D-line need to pick up their game, at least they get to see Keron Williams next week. Purolator wants more sacks, so does Tim Burke.

-I'm still not worried about #6 Cobourne. He looked good... when he got the ball.

-2nd consecutive game the Als Safety leads in tackles, #22 Boulay looked great, But you rather a LB lead the way.

-Speaking of #22, Great athletic play on his INT.

-Way too many flogs for me to enjoy this game, ugly on all three sides.

-1 rec from #85 Bratton & 0 from #19 SJ is not enough.

-From long week to short week, Als play in BC on friday, I like that Coach Trestman and the gang are staying out west. He gets a great ol' fist pump for that.
