CFL 2024 Recap: BC @ Toronto - Week 1

The Toronto Argonauts host the BC Lions in week 1 action of the 2024 CFL season.

[@jasroy]

Went to this game last night. First CFL game, traveled from Michigan to see it. Unbelievably good time

[@dertfert745]

Come back again! Everything 30% off too with the exchange rate

[@TimDyck]

You picked a good game for your first. Lots of action, some great catches, fumbles, interceptions, back and forth in the lead...typical CFL action.

[@p47rr]

I lived in Michigan. Been to a few games. Miss Doug Flutie and the Skydome.

[@jasroy]

@@dertfert745 hoping to in August

[@jasroy]

@@TimDyck we loved it, the action pretty much never stopped!

[@blakebrown84]

I love those Toronto Argos!!! They won the game by 8 points and really played a great game🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

[@teo_heel]

Not so great, 2nd quarter was all about Lions for the most part.

[@teo_heel]

Argos managed to exceed my low expectations on them with all the players that left the team this offseason. Cameron Dukes was not picked off, it not for him fumbling the the ball for Lions TD, he would've been perfect. Lions had an awesome 2nd quarter but they lost steam after that. Poor VA got destroyed, but he had many chances to keep the game alive.

[@SirLionofBiff]

I'm sensing a potential for a lot of parity this year.

[@emjackson2289]

What, in the UK, would be called "a right ding-dong battle" - clear to see there's some work to be done by BC to protect Adams, especially when behind in the game. Hey-ho.....onwards we go #BCLions

[@multiyapples]

I’m Happy Toronto won the game.

[@johnbrowne2170]

I was really concerned with the loss of A.J. Ouellette and some key defensive players.

[@red3here]

Well you don’t need to be.

[@johnbrowne2170]

@@red3here At least not based on one game.

[@dfcsons]

I thought the same, but Carey looks to be an able replacement.

[@noahanderson2547]

GO BC 🦁🧡🖤🏈

[@micromaxt]

Excellent defense once they've clicked

[@willpine7343]

Dukes did a fine job!

LETS GO BC

[@string-bag]

Great game.

[@russbroda7207]

Looks like a lot of good young talent has once again arrived in Canadian football 😊.

[@jake-qn3tl]

I'm so sick of the Lions being mediocre. Campbell has to win it this year.

[@glennelliott708]

2 years of 12-6. Hardly mediocre

[@jake-qn3tl]

@@glennelliott708 We haven't won a grey cup since 2011. That's pathetic.

[@8bit_paul]

Go Lions!

[@MaGiKFuNgUs57]

I’ll miss Kadeem Carey, he was great for the Stamps. Take good care of him Toronto, he already looks great in the double blues.

[@CaptArgo24]

Was definitely an interesting game.

[@timemerson4162]

Good game, a lot of back and forth.

[@jamesstuart3346]

Chad who?

[@teo_heel]

Yeah. It seems that Toronto are a good place for a QB to became a star all of a sudden.

[@sdavis8608]

Why, oh why, did BC go for the bomb on 3rd and very long with 1:34 on the clock from their 1 yard line? Why not punt and get breathing room? Someone please explain?😮

[@teo_heel]

I guess they had no other choice. Punt is way too risky at 1 yard line, you can give up both a safety and possession of the ball.

[@cflhighlights9370]

Both decisions were equally as risky I think.

[@aaronsanders7145]

Adams pump fake took the whole secondary on that td

[@waynemclean1799]

Argos ☝️

[@erisedhammer3286]

Please stop giving away who won the game with the photo on the video. If we see one team celebrating we know that team wins.

[@petergiaschi35]

Gonna have to find a way to put some people in seats....

[@JosephRocco-mi4cm]

I know hockey is king in Canada, but the CFL has been around a long time. Toronto is a big city. Why so little fan support?

[@James-vj5hz]

​@@JosephRocco-mi4cm Because of the inability to spend due to the salary cap era. TO should be able to spend big $$$$

[@chrisk475]

​@@JosephRocco-mi4cmYoung people for one have a lot of uses for their time these days, football ain't one of them. Just a quaint throwback in too cool for school TO.

[@teo_heel]

@@JosephRocco-mi4cm I read that there're some big problems with security on the stadium and it takes a long time to get to your seat.

GO TORONTO

[@edwardkelly3280]

BC Lions interior line needs some work

[@rauserbegins5850]

Toronto has a great team. It’s a shame they can’t get more fans out. 🙁

[@marlonanand4501]

[@FischerFan]

The CFL is ignored in Toronto because it's not recognized as a world-class league.

[@red3here]

They had a lot of fans there.

[@billbaird2273]

Toronto is a USA wanna be city, if it ain't American they aren't interested.

[@billbaird2273]

Toronto is a USA wanna be city. Pathetic excuse for Canadians.

[@davidhodgins7122]

This was a pleasant surprise after loosing some great players like Javon Leake, Bede, Ouellette, Giddens and Kelly suspended.

[@enriquemorris934]

Where’s Chad Kelly for the argos?

[@teo_heel]

He's suspended for at least 9 games for harassing a female coach whose contract was not renewed after 2023 season. Lawsuit was settled out of court, but he still serves the suspension and he needs to attend mandatory counseling sessions conducted by a gender-based violence expert before CFL will decide it he's worthy of returning.

[@provincialfish]

Suspended

[@red3here]

@@teo_heel8 now.

[@teo_heel]

@@red3here it's not a fixed period suspension. It might get prolonged.

SAME poor game calling by the refs and command center giving the Argo s the advantage mmm let me guess the command center is in toronto

here we go the Toronto conspiracies again

[@sorshiaemms5959]

@@willpine7343 yup same crummy officiating since the 70 s

[@teo_heel]

No. Refs were fine, some of the somewhat questionable calls were favoriting Lions. Not a bad officiating at all.

[@mattt9278]

Dear @CFL please don't imitate the NFL highlight reels and stretch the run time with garbage plays. These are HIGHLIGHT reels, don't make us sit through garbage 8 yard plays over and over like the NFL does. Secondly, show some slow mo shots of good plays, like the fumble on third and inches at the 5:18 mark. We can't see anything and you skip over it so fast. Give us a replay, slow it down and let us SEE THE HIGHLIGHT.

[@reginaldtaylorjr425]

Good effort BC LIONS @OfficialBCLions. Good draw up of plays for the seems that succeeded Running game needs a little more speed of design. Looking forward to adjustments to win next week.

[@davidstronach3261]

They should make a Canadian Football League videogame

[@gavinowenn]

or just add CFL teams to Madden like how NBA2k, NHL, Fifa etc. have multiple professional leagues in their game

[@glennhankins6927]

Lions were up 20 - 6..... just another loss.
