I understand the rules of CFL and how they differ from US football. What do I need to know about Alouettes and the fan culture? I’m sure as with all things MTL, we hate Toronto… what else?

The Montreal Alouettes had a great start to the season. After losing players like Tyler Snead, Cody Fajardo and the beginning of the season, each were on the 6 game injured reserve. Montreal also lost Stubblefield after the first game of the season, being out for the remainder of the season, put a lot of pressure on Rookie Bryce Cosby. Injuries kept mounting even when all star receiver Austin Mack, who was caught on the last day by the NFL Atlanta Falcons, also missed six games. Players never got into their rhythm. Fans did see the emergence of Davis Alexander who went undefeated when replacing Cody Fajardo for 5 games.

It’s a tough loss, but management have to get together and see the needs that will help Montreal bring back the cup.

Time will tell on who will stay and who will go for the Als, but also who will come in to improve the team’s weaknesses. Danny Macioccia and his coaching staff will look at their needs during the offseason. Let’s just sit back and enjoy an entertaining Grey Cup.

I’ll be back writing blogs for the Alouettes next season, and as always I like to have your comments on games.

It was a pleasure writing to the CFL fans and Alouettes fans this season. I will continue blogging once free agency begins in January 2025.

The Alouettes play the intro to a song before kickoffs. I think it’s the intro to a rap song, but I’m not sure. It’s kind of lowwww and slowwww. I know, not much to go on, but they’ve played this bit for years.

Hey everyone, I unfortunately can’t make it to the game but am desperately trying to find someone who can get me one of the team photos they will be handing out so I could get it laminated. Can anyone help me out? Thanks! Got Als!!

I'm in Montreal from Toronto touring McGill with my daughter this weekend and looking for a pair of tickets to take in the game. Si vous plait.

Message me and will transfer on Ticketmaster.

The Montreal Alouettes played their season finale game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on October 26th, 2024. Montreal has already secured first place in the east, while waiting for the winner between the Toronto Argonauts and Ottawa Redblacks in the East Semi-Final which will be played Nov 2nd.

All year, Montreal's defence has been the backbone of this team, but with coach Maas deciding not to play all his starters, resting them for the east final was a wise choice. Montreal's offence the last four games has averaged 20 points or less, it has been anemic ever since Cody Fajardo has returned from his hamstring injury; while Davis Alexander, the more versatile quarterback took his place for four games. Montreal's offence did a pretty good job at moving the ball, and stretching out the opponents defence against Winnipeg. Fajardo connected on many plays, securing Montreal fans that the offence still has some spark. There is no quit in this team.

I was a tough loss as Montreal played the clock well in the fourth quarter, leading 27-25 with 1 minute left, they decided to call two runs up the middle with running back Walter Fletcher being stopped both times. Montreal was able to bring the clock down to 30 seconds before snapping the ball to kicker Joseph Zema. With the clock ticking down, Montreal took their last timeout; not to get penalized for delay of game. As the ball was snapped, a huge gust of wind and rain, came down; the kick only travelled 20 yards. Winnipeg ran the ball up the field once to place the ball, for their kicker Sergio Castillo, who already missed, had a second chance of redemption. As Montreal fans cheered too early as they thought they had the game, Winnipeg kicker, Sergio Castillo made a 51-yarder with 10 seconds remaining. With a Winnipeg win, that would mean they would secure the West division.

Now that the season has ended, Montreal has two weeks to heal and study their opponents, as they have lost twice to Toronto this season, and have beaten Ottawa, but two very close games. Montreal ends the season with a 12-5-1 record, last time they had a record like this, they won the Grey Cup. Let's see what this team can do to defend the cup and keep it here in Montreal.

To all readers, thank you for reading my articles, it was a pleasure when writing when possible. Enjoy the East final and may the best team win!

Bonjour! I'm visiting Montreal from Vancouver this weekend and would love to watch the CFL playoffs on Saturday. Which bar in Montreal would likely be showing these games? Merci beaucoup and Go Lions! Go!

Did the gods turn the wind on for that final punt. Brutal at Percival stadium?
