So yes, the Montreal Alouettes dominated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers by 22 points last night at Percival Molson Stadium, winning 39-17, but Als fans can be sure that they would have given up 21 of those points if it meant not seeing future HOF QB Anthony Calvillo go down to what was later described as a rib injury in the 2nd Quarter. Calvillo and the Alouettes were dominating the Blue Bombers, having scored 3 TD's, one by special teams, and the other two with emerging star SJ Green lunging both teams to get the 6 points. Leak did a decent job filling in for Calvillo the rest of the way by going 10 of 15 for 99 yards, but it was truly Brandon Whitaker (no relation to me) who kept the Bombers at by with 2 much needed rushing touchdowns after Winnipeg had brought it to within 7 points.

Turnabout is fair play, one would assume, but the Toronto Argonauts didn’t have to rub it in the Alouettes’ faces did they? The Argos were all over Montreal en route to a 37-22 victory.

What do you do when you are the Montreal Alouettes, and you have just renovated your home stadium to add an additional 5000 seats? Well, apparently you also invest some dollars into a great promotional campaign. I am a big fan of this ad, which is clearly designed to appeal to men in my age demographic.Check out the out the commercial and let us know what you think!Montreal Sports - Montreal Alouettes
The defending 2009 CFL Champion Montreal Alouettes started the 2010 season with arguably the toughest part of their schedule in their first 3 games. The Alouettes were only a bad 4th quarter away from starting the season undefeated in Saskatchewan, but then have gone on to win their next two games, including their first win in BC since Aug, 2000. SJ Green continued to impress, catching 8 passes for 107 yards, but it was Jerald Brown who stepped up big for his 2nd straight late game interception to help seal the deal for the Alouettes. Montreal wins the game 16-12, on the back of a solid performance of Avon Cobourne, who had 79 yards on the ground, and another 43 through the air. Key player of the game though was kicker Damon Duval, who hit 4 of 6 field goals, including what turned out was the game winner, even though it hit the post before taking a lucky bounce through the uprights.

The Montreal Alouettes finally get their first win of the season against a team that may have once been considered their arch rivals, in the Edmonton Eskimos. However, with a week 1 loss to Saskatchewan, I think the Roughriders currently hold that distinction. The Alouettes are finally over their first big hump, 1 - by getting their first win of the season, and 2 - winning against a very tough Western Conference team. The Alouettes scored 22 unanswered points in the 2nd half to come from behind and beat the Eskimos 33 to 23 in Edmonton.

Both teams were looking to make a statement, and both teams ended up accomplishing that goal. However, it would be the Roughriders who would put the exclamation point at the end of their statement, and get the W in dramatic fashion, with a 54 to 51 win in overtime over the Alouettes. The Alouettes had led by as much as 21 points in the 1st half, but Kevin Durant took charge of his team, throwing for 443 yards and 4 touchdowns, including a 5 yard pass to Fantuz to tie the game 40-40 with 1:06 remaining on the clock. Durant ended his night going 30 for 44, 478 yards and 5 touchdowns
