Me too. That was my first full season as a CFL fan. I watched every single game. All 9 preseason games, all 81 regular season games and all 5 playoff games. Around 30 of them I watched live. That was fun and I want more of it.
The 2024 Toronto Argonauts: A team that lost to their arch rivals 3 times in the season, that won a game on a rouge, lost a game on a rouge, started three different QBs throughout the season, allowed 38 points in a playoff game but still won by 20, lost their star QB right before a championship, and won that championship with their third string by 17 points, putting Winnipeg’s “dynasty” under .500. Unbelievable.
Once Collaros’ 1st throw with that glove on was an interception I knew it was over. But even before that weird injury Toronto looked like the better prepared team anyways which is hilarious considering Winnipeg has been to the Grey Cup 5 straight times now.
They lately seem to have the "yips" in the Grey Cup. More turnovers than a bakery, stupid penalties (that actually overturned a turnover), and poor tackling. They SHOULD know better.
Bombers looked fine, they made a ton of plays in the 2nd half but were unable to capitalize on it because of the Collaros injury. Its important to have good backups, i miss Dru Brown he was clutch for us.
I’m more confused on why we didn’t run the ball with Brady to get the first, i mean most of his runs were for 3-4 yards that game. It just doesn’t make sense. Hopefully we do better next year if we make it to the grey cup. It’s in our home stadium after all.
What a performance by Toronto. Don’t forget last year Argos finished with the best record in CFL history and were embarrassed by Montreal. This was their revenge. This year not only did we make it back to the Grey Cup, but won it as underdogs. Now we have as many titles as Winnipeg in the last 5 years. I’m happy for Arbuckle as well, he had to live up to Kelly and did it incredibly. Proud of you boys, always nice to see a Toronto team winning anythin
It feels weird that we’ve won 2 of 3 and the one we didn’t was when we went 16-2 lmao. I’m not complaining though, the last few years have been super fun
@@user-yg1dg6xm2g Yeah... Arbuckle had a phenomenal game. The only mistake was his first thrown interception, other than that Nick had a great game. Wouldn't blame him for the second interception because it was a great play by Willie Jefferson who not only deflected the thrown pass but by some miracle managed to catch it.
NFL fan from America here,usually when I look at leagues besides the nfl it’s usually the ufl but never expected to have the cfl and European football league and other leagues that are entertaining to me
Great season CFL....and congrats Argos!!! 🏆. Crazy it's one thing for one backup QB to play in a championship game but two I don't think I've ever seen before on any level of ball 🏈
Congratulations Argos Fans coming from an American Winnipeg fan all the way from California. Your team deserves to win and Arbuckle for sure put a show on for us all to see. 🫡
I’ve finally brought myself to watch this replay. The game was close until the punt return fumble. It turned into 7 for the Argos, gave them momentum and they never looked back. I’ll never understand why, with the MOP running back in Oliviera, the Bombers didn’t run the ball more. He had proven he could break through for the big play even in this game. Here’s hoping Winnipeg can find a way back to the Grey Cup at home in 2025…
Man what game! Was kinda hoping Winnipeg was gonna take it but good job tornanto! Good game! As this being my first year to watch CFL highlights I will definitely be paying attention next year!
Was a great game for sure. Argos were the underdogs. Winnipeg was in it until the 4th quarter. Collaros injury and the interceptions did Winnipeg in. #PullTogether
As a BC Lions fan, it was my first time attending the Grey Cup Championship and was rooting for the Argonauts. Congratulations again to the Argonauts for the win.
The talent isn't that worse as people might think. CFL is full on NFL-level talent that just never had an opportunity to actually show their worth in NFL.
@@billbaird2273 I agree but there always these NFL fan boys who want to flood CFL posts with there negative comments about how bad the CFL is... when its actually a much more exciting game to watch
At least they have a grey cup in this century. Ti-Cats have not had one since 99, and have blown all 4 grey cups appearances since then, including one on home field !.. Now that's something to be pissed about ! ;) ..

So you didn't had CBS SN available and that was the only way for you to see the game... Yeah... CFL is not doing a phenomenal job by not making their game easy to access. CFL+ worked just fine for fans outside of Canada and US, but why they're making it so hard to access in US...
Shout out to the head official for the gutsy (but correct) loose-ball interference penalty. That's a rare one, but it was correct - and an utter game-changer.
I mean... it was an obvious one, replays shown during the game were hella obvious, even I was like "didn't Winnipeg player just did something that is not allowed by rules?" and I'm not that good at knowing rules of Canadian Football.
Great game. Fast action as with all CFL games. It was a close score until the fourth quarter. Quarterbacks in the CFL must know how to pass as the games are mostly passing. I watched the CFL since the 1990s including my favorite years with Matt Dunigan in 1990 and Doug Flutie in 1996.
The CFL tried 30 years ago. The Baltimore franchise even won the Grey Cup. Alas, the US expansion was a financial failure. The Baltimore team moved and became the (current) Alouettes.
@@mjjoe76 CFL US Expansion was done for one reason and one reason only - to save the league with the money gained from new franchises. And it succeed in that goal.
I can't believe that Argos won and Nick Arbuckle is the Grey Cup MVP. Who would've thought that a game was decided by a cut on a index finger of Zach Collaros' throwing hand. And Argos defense prevailed... as I fully expected. PS. Nick Arbuckle wanted to retire and start working as a coach before he was called up to be an Argos backup QB for this season.
Collaros threw an interception before he was injured. The outcome of the entire game does not rest on him injuring his finger. Toronto was the better team.

Unlike the Bills 💵 who won 5 consecutive AFC titles but lost each Super Bowl 🍚, the Bombers won Grey Cups in 2019 & 2021. Winning 🥇 5 consecutive conference titles is an accomplishment
@@onlinepole this is the greatest BOmber squad in my long life, now exclipsing the Clements etc/Jones etc massive D era in my books. for me the West Division title has always been the game of the season and so happy the boys have won five in a row, plus two gc plus two lost only on the last play of those games - and this was a tougher loss but does not take away from the amaing success of this squad in the past five years. Go Blue
Sad the Argos don't get the support they should. City is spoiled with higher profile leagues operating with teams outside of Canada. 19 wins out of 25 attempts is a great accomplishment compared to other teams in the city who get to the final and win. More than all the others combined (not including the Rock). - Leafs are 13 for 22. - Rock are 6 for 9 (out of Hamilton and lower profile, but shown for completeness) - Jays are 2 for 2. - Raptors are 1 for 1.
The Toronto team sports pecking order looks like this 1 Maple Leafs 2 Blue Jays 3 Raptors 4 TFC 5 Bills 6 Marlies 7 Argonauts etc I don't see anything that can change this reality.
Disappointing game for the Bombers. They definitely didn't play like they did in the western finals. The injury to Collaros didn't help. Toronto's defence won the game. Arbuckle had some pretty big shoes to fill with Kelly being hurt. He played like a pro. Well done Toronto. 🇨🇦
Yes, think BB's under performed. With the Argos appearing to over achieve and maybe some good breaks, ends up an upset. CF might be greatest sport out there. Canadians should be proud of having such a gem.
Zac Collaros fan from Ohio, this has turned me on to the CFL. What a great game! So much more action than in the NFL. I just wish it was easier to watch down here. You think you've found the broadcast site. Then you haven't. Then you have... then you haven't :(
I was still stinging from my Alouettes giving away the East Final to the Argos, but I was glad to see the Argos win the Cup as they were heavy underdogs. I live in Toronto but grew up in Montreal, so I'm torn. The Alouettes will be back in the hunt next season.
Good Gawd, Was such a tight game, Then Collaros hurt his throwing hand. He just didn't have the zip on his throws any longer which led to costly interceptions & aided in the Argos win.
@@40sayers95 I mean no kidding they could not win enough in a century to paste over the hollow halls they play in. But for a minute read and soak in so many argo commenters here and the smug arrogance in them, many with not a ounce of civility or sportsmanship. It is regrettable, much like the city itself, smugly arrogant but no one is really sure why, its a globalist also ran that keeps pining to be in some big league it will never find, beacuse they are who they are. The CFL though is pure gold and hopefully someday that argo team will move to the east coast and the league can wave t-oe goodbye...if only they were not so scared....
Hopeful the rest of the CFL gets their act so we see someone other then Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the final. Congrats to the Argo's I didn't like your chances but it's the CFL anything can happen.
The problem is that Winnipeg Blue Bombers is the most experienced team in the West Division right now. Quite a lot of players appeared in all 5 Grey Cup games since 2019. Elks don't have players who even played in the team for more that 4 seasons for example. That is not good.
Sad day for the Bombers and BB fans. I wouldn’t have overstated like the commentators did that Wpg was heavily favoured. I would have acknowledged the close games and it could have gone either way. There were unpredictable things, like Kelly breaking a leg, the blocked punt that was overturned, and Collaros’ cut finger. Anyway, good game, Argos. We’ll be back next year, Bombers! 😎
This looked like it could have been an all-time great football game if the QB wasn't injured. That cut was deep (you could see it on camera) and effected the way he threw the ball.
It seems as though the Winnipeg coaching staff was over-thinking their decisions. I don't know why Oliveira didn't get the ball more often. He was the one bright light. Ground and pound, and Winnipeg would have won that game. Of course, turning the ball over a couple of times in key situations doesn't help, and that blocked punt was a great opportunity, but wasted because of a mental mistake. At least it was an entertaining Grey Cup!
Yes, Analysis Paralysis on the Bombers part. Actually I don't think the Bombers defense was expecting the Argos very simple, but very effective game plan.
Willie Jefferson, he had a monster game and for me was the Bomber that was ready to play the most. I hiope he is able to be part of next year but he can hold his head up high, he played a great game today
@@40sayers95 Yep. More than once, the Argos' receivers just found a soft spot in the zone coverage and waited for the pass. You'd think that with a back up QB, they'd go with man coverage and blitz one LB or HB every play to get pressure. Oh well, there's always next year...
32K views for a recap of the Grey Cup showed that the interest for that game was not very high. Congrats Argo’s for the win. Turnovers was the key in that games.
A bit of Canadian history for you. The Cup family had two sons who were always out playing sports. Mom could never decide if she liked Stanley or Grey better. We all are better off for it. We won't mention their cousins who emigrated south, the Bowl family. Whatever happened to cousin Super, and little Toilet?
it's the AAARRRGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSS folks. The greatest football team name. The greatest football team. Back in the isle of Crete the first Argonaut Jason would be proud. Here's to Rod and Doug Smylie. My great uncles.
I saw recaps of the Western and Eastern Semi-finals, I was really impressed with Winnipeg. Unfortunately, there were too many interceptions and dropped balls by Winnipeg. Argos!!!
Around 3000 empty seats on a 55000 seater... not bad. During the game there were quite a lot of shots of the audience and I didn't see many empty seats to be honest. But yeah, when Argonauts started to destroy Blue Bombers, people started to leave the arena.
I despise the Argonauts and the Bummers equally. I'm torn because the Blew team winning the Grey cup is nauseating but watching Bummer fans whine about the loss and claim they were a "dynasty" is truly enjoyable...
I would say this about the claims about being a dynasty from Blue Bombers fans - they're a dynasty. Playing in 5 consecutive championship games is nothing short of phenomenal no matter how big the league. Yes, team lost 3 consecutive championship games, but that's because they played a better team each time. Argos despite not being seen as even having a chance of beating Winnipeg proved anyone wrong. Defense played the role in the win. And I fully expected that.
That's because Nick Arbuckle wasn't even a starter, he was planning his retirement before the start of this season but was brought up to the Argos when the 2023 MOP Chad Kelly got suspended for 9 regular season games for something that should've led for an indefinite suspension. Kelly got back and played well enough to be a starter until he got seriously injured in the East Final. Kelly got broken tibia and fibula in his right leg, that's when Nick Arbuckle got his chance to become starter all of a sudden. And he did a phenomenal job for a guy who started only 25 games during his long career in CFL.
I'm not so sure. Zach Collaros had a very bad season and he got very lucky that his defense was so good at the second half of the season. Blue Bombers are good, but not great. They got lucky the west was awful this season.
@@onlinepole Nah... Streveler can't throw. When he played starter against Ottawa he threw the ball only 21 times and completed 13 passes for 127 yards and he ran for 79 yards on 13 carries. So... And yeah, he also did okay against Calgary the week before when he replaced Zach Collaros after he got injured. 14 completions out of 24 attempts for 170 yards with touchdown and interception (that lost the game in overtime). Streveler is a PHENOMENAL short-yardage QB but he's not good as a starter.
Because Canada isn't that big for a 16 team league. 10th team is a huge pain in a butt for the league because they couldn't find businessmen that would spent money for a new franchise... and the problem is that they're almost no markets left to explore. Only Maritimes, probably in Halifax.
@@1puggycorgi843 American expansion was done out of necessity to survive. League was struggling and needed money from new american franchises. It helped save the league, but Ottawa Rough Riders was destroyed in the process.
Winnipeg offensive game plan was horrible and in excusable st this level No attempt to run the ball. And just throwing the ball deep all game and playing very vanilla defensive game plan horrible and disgusting game plan by Winnipeg offense and defense

@@40sayers95Toronto embrace loosing, missed managed profitable teams.
@@40sayers95 I mean no kidding they could not win enough in a century to paste over the hollow halls they play in. But for a minute read and soak in so many argo commenters here and the smug arrogance in them, many with not a ounce of civility or sportsmanship. It is regrettable, much like the city itself, smugly arrogant but no one is really sure why, its a globalist also ran that keeps pining to be in some big league it will never find, beacuse they are who they are. The CFL though is pure gold and hopefully someday that argo team will move to the east coast and the league can wave t-oe goodbye...if only they were not so scared....
Hopeful the rest of the CFL gets their act so we see someone other then Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the final. Congrats to the Argo's I didn't like your chances but it's the CFL anything can happen.
The problem is that Winnipeg Blue Bombers is the most experienced team in the West Division right now. Quite a lot of players appeared in all 5 Grey Cup games since 2019. Elks don't have players who even played in the team for more that 4 seasons for example. That is not good.
Sad day for the Bombers and BB fans. I wouldn’t have overstated like the commentators did that Wpg was heavily favoured. I would have acknowledged the close games and it could have gone either way. There were unpredictable things, like Kelly breaking a leg, the blocked punt that was overturned, and Collaros’ cut finger.
Anyway, good game, Argos. We’ll be back next year, Bombers! 😎
I look forward to seeing my Alouettes back in the Grey Cup in 2025.
Oui - Yes ❗️
Just imagine, they really should have won east final. And then probably Grey Cup too ..
@@karlpolsterer7687 🤣
This looked like it could have been an all-time great football game if the QB wasn't injured. That cut was deep (you could see it on camera) and effected the way he threw the ball.
What kind of "interference" was that that overturned the blocked punt turnover?
Illegal push to the back. There were better replays of the play that showed the reason for a flag being throw.
You’re a casual if you couldn’t see 19 shove the guy in the back so Winnipeg could recover… such a stupid penalty to take on a third down 😂😂😂😂
It seems as though the Winnipeg coaching staff was over-thinking their decisions. I don't know why Oliveira didn't get the ball more often. He was the one bright light. Ground and pound, and Winnipeg would have won that game. Of course, turning the ball over a couple of times in key situations doesn't help, and that blocked punt was a great opportunity, but wasted because of a mental mistake.
At least it was an entertaining Grey Cup!
Yes, Analysis Paralysis on the Bombers part.
Actually I don't think the Bombers defense was expecting the Argos very simple, but very effective game plan.
Willie Jefferson, he had a monster game and for me was the Bomber that was ready to play the most. I hiope he is able to be part of next year but he can hold his head up high, he played a great game today
@@40sayers95 Yep. More than once, the Argos' receivers just found a soft spot in the zone coverage and waited for the pass. You'd think that with a back up QB, they'd go with man coverage and blitz one LB or HB every play to get pressure. Oh well, there's always next year...
@@TheHilltopPillbox 100% agree, Argos enacted a very simple, old school game plan & it worked well for them unlike the bombers defense.
The CFL should try to sign Travis Hunter from the Colorado Buffalos?
Wow that was a lot of intercepts at the end
Yeah - Crazy - Injured QB
Terrible throws too. You can tell he was injured. The glove wasn't working at all
Calgary should've never got rid of Arbuckle.
32K views for a recap of the Grey Cup showed that the interest for that game was not very high. Congrats Argo’s for the win. Turnovers was the key in that games.
A bit of Canadian history for you.
The Cup family had two sons who were always out playing sports. Mom could never decide if she liked Stanley or Grey better.
We all are better off for it.
We won't mention their cousins who emigrated south, the Bowl family. Whatever happened to cousin Super, and little Toilet?
it's the AAARRRGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSS folks. The greatest football team name. The greatest football team. Back in the isle of Crete the first Argonaut Jason would be proud. Here's to Rod and Doug Smylie. My great uncles.
Once Callaros cut his finger .. that was it.
It was over well before then. Collaros was doing his typical choke against the stern Argo defense.
LET'S GO TORONTO AR-GO-NAUTS! WE'VE GOT A BOAT!
I saw recaps of the Western and Eastern Semi-finals, I was really impressed with Winnipeg. Unfortunately, there were too many interceptions and dropped balls by Winnipeg. Argos!!!
Are their suppose to be so many empty seats during a championship game?
Around 3000 empty seats on a 55000 seater... not bad.
During the game there were quite a lot of shots of the audience and I didn't see many empty seats to be honest. But yeah, when Argonauts started to destroy Blue Bombers, people started to leave the arena.
@@teo_heel Life is EXPENSIVE in Trudeau's Canada now! Maybe when the Conservatives get back into power, people will be able to afford it again?
@@inconnu4961 Championship games are always expensive, so stop bringing up politics.
No. F JT
The reported attendance was 52K. That’s very solid. Better then most NCAA conference championship games
Collaros hurt his hand, had to wear a glove on his throwing hand, and it was all downhill from there for Winnipeg.
It was over well before then. He was only 6 of 16 for 114 yards when he hurt his hand
Winnipeg is now the modern-day Atlanta Braves.
I despise the Argonauts and the Bummers equally. I'm torn because the Blew team winning the Grey cup is nauseating but watching Bummer fans whine about the loss and claim they were a "dynasty" is truly enjoyable...
I would say this about the claims about being a dynasty from Blue Bombers fans - they're a dynasty. Playing in 5 consecutive championship games is nothing short of phenomenal no matter how big the league. Yes, team lost 3 consecutive championship games, but that's because they played a better team each time.
Argos despite not being seen as even having a chance of beating Winnipeg proved anyone wrong. Defense played the role in the win. And I fully expected that.
You have to win 3 to be considered a dynasty lol!
@@teo_heellook up definition of dynasty 😂
@@darianz1855 I don't care about those meanings. I can interpret the word the way I want.
@@teo_heel and you can be wrong 😂 maybe 4th times the charm
Haven't watched a game of CFL before but looks like Toronto's qb is very shaky
That's because Nick Arbuckle wasn't even a starter, he was planning his retirement before the start of this season but was brought up to the Argos when the 2023 MOP Chad Kelly got suspended for 9 regular season games for something that should've led for an indefinite suspension. Kelly got back and played well enough to be a starter until he got seriously injured in the East Final. Kelly got broken tibia and fibula in his right leg, that's when Nick Arbuckle got his chance to become starter all of a sudden.
And he did a phenomenal job for a guy who started only 25 games during his long career in CFL.
Looked pretty good to me. Won MOP of the game.
Interceptions killed the Bombers. They'll be back, though!
I hope they play anger. It was disappointing to watch it slip away.
I'm not so sure. Zach Collaros had a very bad season and he got very lucky that his defense was so good at the second half of the season. Blue Bombers are good, but not great. They got lucky the west was awful this season.
@@teo_heelStreveler is a very solid backup who could step into a starting role
@@onlinepole Nah... Streveler can't throw. When he played starter against Ottawa he threw the ball only 21 times and completed 13 passes for 127 yards and he ran for 79 yards on 13 carries. So...
And yeah, he also did okay against Calgary the week before when he replaced Zach Collaros after he got injured. 14 completions out of 24 attempts for 170 yards with touchdown and interception (that lost the game in overtime).
Streveler is a PHENOMENAL short-yardage QB but he's not good as a starter.
Why CFL just can't expand to 16 team's
Because Canada isn't that big for a 16 team league. 10th team is a huge pain in a butt for the league because they couldn't find businessmen that would spent money for a new franchise... and the problem is that they're almost no markets left to explore. Only Maritimes, probably in Halifax.
Or atleast 12.
@@1puggycorgi843 10 in maximum. 12 is out of reach.
@teo_heel yea your not wrong, didn't really work with the American expansion
@@1puggycorgi843 American expansion was done out of necessity to survive. League was struggling and needed money from new american franchises. It helped save the league, but Ottawa Rough Riders was destroyed in the process.
Wow, that 4th quarter
no dynasty for Winnipeg because they lost a third straight and Toronto continues to
excel…Justice is served! WTG ARGOS!
Haven't watched CFL since NFL began to be shown here.
Well As U here Enjoy the CFL 😉
You probably also voted for Trump, shame on you.
Truly a dynasty in the making!
And no I'm not talking about the Bombers you dolts 😂
Only in the CFL
What?
YAYAYAYYAAY🎉🎉🎉🎉LETS GO ARGONS
Blue Bombers have lost three consecutive Grey Cup games.
Go CFL 🙂
Watching the Grey Cup from Pennsylvania Go Argos
Good win Toronto.
Though for sure the Argos wouldn’t do well with out Chad Kelly. Arbuckle played fantastic. Hats off to Bombers though 5 straight Grey cups.
I picked nick to win the Grey Cup at the beginning of the season.........in Ottawa. 😅
Hi
Another choke for the Bombers. Dynasty of the choke😢
Cfl should add some expansion teams
Go Argos!!!
Boom! Argos baby!!!
Winnipeg offensive game plan was horrible and in excusable st this level
No attempt to run the ball. And just throwing the ball deep all game and playing very vanilla defensive game plan
horrible and disgusting game plan by Winnipeg offense and defense
True winipeg didnt belong in the finals
@@Hjkkgg6788 They did.
@@teo_heel Winnipeg belonged on the bottom the way they played
A lot of international Work Visas on the field.
Winnipeg got destroyed
And to think that after first half score was 10-9 and Blue Bombers had a one point lead.
@ would have been 16-10 argos if they didnt settle for 3 points on there opening drive
@@travis396 who knows what would've happened if Argos would've scored a TD on an opening drive.
@ that’s true
Better known as “Canada’s version of the Super Bowl”!!!
Winnipeg really looked like they were rushing plays instead of playing there game like that club looks like they just got torn apart
Anyone impressed how easy Kadeem Carey took Jefferson down. Man can tackle
I notice that there isn’t any comments from a blue bomber fan. Lmao.
I dont' get why they never take Olavera out by the knees sidewway hard he will stop running
ARGOS ☝️
