The Alouettes were trying to get back on the winning track with James Morgan as their starting quarterback. In the end, the home team was unable to make the big plays at the right time against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The finalists of the last two editions of the Grey Cup spoiled the party at Percival-Molson Stadium with a 26-13 victory,handing the Alouettes their fourth consecutive defeat. The Montrealers find themselves with a record of 5 wins and 6 losses. This is the first time since September 15, 2023 that the Sparrows have posted a negative record in the CFL standings. I hear things aren't going well at the shop right now…
“Obviously, it's not the result we were hoping for. Obviously, the goal is to win, but as we say here, we don't lose, we learn.”
By contrast, in 2023, the Alouettes had enjoyed an eight-game winning streak, as well as winning the Grey Cup at a time when they had a negative record in 2023
After a week's rest, the Montreal Alouettes will return to action on Saturday, September 6 for an eagerly-awaited duel against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. This encounter will be crucial in the battle for the top of the CFL's Eastern Section.
The Tiger-Cats, current leaders with a 6-4 record, are also enjoying a break this week.
However, they have a busy schedule: they host the Toronto Argonauts on September 1, just five days before taking on Montreal. This short recovery period could offer a strategic advantage to the Alouettes, who will have two weeks to fine-tune their preparations.
A decisive duel in the Eastern section
With so much at stake at the top of the standings, this promises to be an intense encounter. Montreal fans will be hoping that the team can capitalize on its extended rest to set the pace from the outset. For the Tiger-Cats, the aim will be to maintain their lead despite a testing sequence.
