The Montreal Alouettes’ nest falls victim to a massacre

The Alouettes seemed to be in complete control at the start of the season. In the end, an avalanche of injuries and bad luck affected the Sparrows' campaign.

Notonlydid the Als lose a third consecutive game to the Lions in Vancouver on Saturday, but they also lost the services of another quarterback:Caleb Evans was injured and James Morgan joined the fray. For head coach Jason Maas, this defeat represents more than just a setback. It illustrates the many challenges facing his team, but it also highlights the resilience of the group.

“It's definitely frustrating when we lose quarterbacks like that […], but we have to find ways to win even if we're down to our sixth quarterback”, – Régis Cibasu, receiver

Looking for solutions despite injuries

With four quarterbacks already in use this year, the Alouettes must quickly stabilize their offense if they are to remain competitive in an increasingly fierce Eastern Division.

“It's adversity, honestly. We have to focus on what we have to do. The reality is that the dressing room is all we have. We have to take care of each other, we have to make sure the guy next to us is ready to play. It's football, and we have to face adversity – we've lost three in a row now. We have to refocus, concentrate and get ready for the next game. Nobody can save us, except ourselves.”

Jason Maas and his technical team will have to be creative and rely on the depth of their squad to turn things around.

Despite the adversity, the Alouettes are looking forward. The challenge is great, but the season is far from over.
