Don’t press the panic button on the Alouettes

With four losses in their last six games, a certain climate of panic seems to be setting in for the Montreal Alouettes.

Coach Jason Maas and his assistants have a hot potato on their hands with the situation surrounding the quarterback in the absence of Davis Alexander. McLeod Bethel-Thompson hasn't done the job, to say the least. The Sparrows have lost two very close games in recent weeks, and Jason Maas knows his team should have been on the winning side:

“There are those two losses at home (to the Lions and the Elks): games we should have won and didn't.”

The Alouettes will cross the country to take on the Lions in Vancouver on Saturday night. Needless to say, it's a crucial game for the Montreal outfit

Alouettes: a slowdown after a hot start

The Montreal Alouettes started the season strongly, winning their first three games and establishing themselves as CFL favourites. However, the momentum faded somewhat, and by mid-season, the team had a record of 5 wins and 4 losses.

This slowdown has raised questions among fans, with some fearing that the Montreal outfit is losing momentum.

With nine games left to play, Montreal has plenty of time to get back into the swing of things and secure an advantageous playoff spot.

The attack must become more consistent, while the defense, which was solid at the start of the season, must become dominant once again. If these adjustments are made, the Alouettes can once again become a formidable force in the CFL.

In short, despite a 5-4 record that contrasts with their perfect start, there's no reason to panic. The fundamentals are solid, and a boost in confidence could bring wins back to Percival-Molson Stadium.
