Dirty Bird Blog: 2011-12 Off-Season Thoughts Part 2
Posted on 31 Jan 2012 by Clifford Pine.
First blog of 2012…..quite a bit's been going on. And free agency hasn't even started yet, but moves are being made by the Alouettes as they prepare for the 2012 CFL season. Let's have a look, along with my thoughts on these moves: - So us Montreal fans may have had a reason to despise the Indianapolis Colts, as our esteemed general manager Jim Popp & head coach Marc Trestman were bei...

Dirty Bird Blog: 2011-12 Off-Season Thoughts Part 1
Posted on 14 Dec 2011 by Clifford Pine.
It's been almost a month since the B.C. Lions won the Grey Cup. The 2012 CFL season is a long ways away but based on the off-field action going on now, it looks to make it a season to remember. - I guess it was foolhardy to expect Scott Milanovich to stick around and wait to see if Alouettes head coach Marc Trestman was going to go south after next season. Milanovich has had head coaching aspir...

Dirty Bird Blog: Running On Empty
Posted on 16 Nov 2011 by Clifford Pine.
After six grueling months of camp, practice, 2 pre-season games & 18 regular-season games, the Montreal Alouettes had to win 3 more games to continue their Grey Cup dynasty. With all the injuries they've suffered this season, it was nothing short of a miracle just to compete in the Eastern Semi-Final versus the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. But success requires a combination of talent and luck and d...

Posted on 11 Nov 2011 by Clifford Pine.
The road to the 99th Grey Cup ends in downtown Vancouver but starts in the east end of Montreal this Sunday. The Alouettes also begin defense of their Grey Cup championship against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The winner of the game gets the “privilege” of traveling to the windy, cold confines of Winnipeg's Canad Inn Stadium to face a rested Blue Bombers team in the Eastern Final. Mont...

Dirty Bird Blog: Second Season Begins
Posted on 7 Nov 2011 by Clifford Pine.
This was not the way the Montreal Alouettes wanted to end the season. A tremendous loss to the B.C. Lions and as a result losing the opportunity to clinch the bye week makes for a challenging start to the playoffs. Now the Alouettes will host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Olympic Stadium this coming Sunday. The winner of that match-up then heads to Winnipeg to face the Blue Bombers. Montreal had t...

It all comes down to this game tonight for the Montreal Alouettes. Despite squandering two prime opportunities to clinch the Eastern Final at home, the Alouettes still have a chance to do just that. All they have to do is win tonight versus the Lions in British Columbia while the Stampeders have to defeat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Calgary. Otherwise it'll be an extra game played at the Big O...

Posted on 29 Oct 2011 by Clifford Pine.
When the Montreal Alouettes take the field Sunday versus the Calgary Stampeders, they have the opportunity to break the tie atop the CFL Eastern division. The Als got a huge assist from the Toronto Argonauts as they held on for a win versus the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. With a win, all the Alouettes would have to do to secure the Eastern Final at home is win versus B.C. in Vancouver. To say that t...

Dirty Bird Blog: Nothing Comes Easy
Posted on 24 Oct 2011 by Clifford Pine.
So close….yet so far away. The CFL have a new series of commercials that have been promoting a new slogan: No Lead Is Safe. That even when you think the game is over, things can change and all of a sudden momentum swings the other way. Sadly for Alouettes fans, this past game's final moments versus the Winnipeg Blue Bombers became fodder for one of those commercials. The Alouettes were on...

They say in everyone's life, a little rain must fall. This past Sunday saw the heavens open up and rain down on the fans of the Montreal Alouettes. It has been a while since the last time there was rain at a home game. But maybe it served as a cleansing as the Als edged the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 27-25 to secure themselves a home playoff game at the Big O. That's a good thing, since the team had...

Posted on 16 Oct 2011 by Clifford Pine.
When the Montreal Alouettes take to the field against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, a lot will be on the line; the Cats will want to gain ground on the Alouettes & Blue Bombers while the Alouettes will look to cement themselves a home playoff game. The playoff race is heating up and nothing is guaranteed. Hamilton leads the season series, having won the first 2 games in the Hammer. But Montreal ...

Wow. Once again, history was made at Percival Molson Stadium. After setting records this season for touchdowns & completions, Anthony Calvillo set yet another benchmark this past Monday versus the Toronto Argonauts by surpassing Damon Allen for the most passing yards thrown. And it was done in spectacular fashion with a 50 yard touchdown pass to Jamel Richardson to end the third quarter. I ...
