Despite the victory, Davis Alexander was frustrated yesterday

The Montreal Alouettes may have added a win to their record, but for Davis Alexander, the result does not reflect the level of excellence expected of the team.

In the wake of a narrow 37-35 win, the quarterback looked grim, unable to hide his frustration over the numerous mistakes made during the game.

For Alexander, the Alouettes once again let a comfortable lead slip away—a scenario that has been repeating itself since the start of the season. After dominating much of the game, Montreal allowed its opponent to get back into the game, turning what seemed like a sure victory into an extremely nerve-wracking finish.

The offensive leader believes this trend must end quickly if the Alouettes hope to remain among the top teams in the Canadian Football League. In his view, the team lacks consistency, particularly in the third quarter, when their performance too often drops in intensity.

Alexander made no secret of his desire to see his teammates maintain the same level of execution throughout the entire 60 minutes of play. Even though Montreal's record remains positive, the quarterback believes several adjustments are needed ahead of their upcoming games.

A Victory Earned Despite Pain and Several Setbacks

In addition to dealing with the pressure of the game, Davis Alexander also had to play through several physical hits that appeared to be causing him pain. The quarterback took a few hard hits but remained on the field until the final whistle, demonstrating once again his fighting spirit.

Head coach Jason Maas offered a more measured analysis. While not entirely sharing his quarterback's harsh assessment, he acknowledged that the team still has significant room for improvement. In his view, winning a game in the CFL remains a challenge, but it's essential to address the shortcomings observed to prevent this type of scenario from recurring.

Wide receiver Tyson Philpot also praised his quarterback's determination, highlighting his leadership and ability to keep going despite the hits he took.

With a 3-1 record heading into a bye week, the Alouettes walk away with two valuable points. However, Davis Alexander's message is clear: wins are no longer enough if they don't meet the Montreal organization's high standards.
