The Toronto Argonauts are finally on the board in 2025, earning their first win of the season with a 29-16 victory over the Ottawa Redblacks at TD Place. This week’s Postgame Reaction is packed with everything you need to relive one of the most exciting and unconventional Argos wins in recent memory. Ben Grant and JB break down a three-phase performance, including two touchdowns from safety Derek Slywka – one on a record-setting scoop-and-score, and another on a blocked field goal return, both of over 100 yards, and a receiving touchdown from right tackle Ryan Hunter. Plus, we’ve got full radio play-by-play replays of the game’s biggest moments, insight, and analysis you won’t find anywhere else.

A big shout out to the defence for winning this one, especially considering that they're riddled with injuries and lost so many all-stars from last season to free agency and the NFL. As for the offence, they stunk. They are bad. I'm especially angry with management for sabotaging the running game. First, they gave away solid Canadian RB Adam A. to Ottawa for nothing, then cut Ka'Deem Carey. Two thirds of their solid run game from last year gone. Throw in the injuries and the poor play of the O-line and you've got the makings of a last place team. The staff needs to find a good slashing running back to go with Mayan Williams and Deonta McMahon when he returns from injury. I don't know what can be done about the line. Another management blunder: Why wasn't Kelly put on the six-game injury list? There's no penalty for coming off the list early, so why wasn't this done? The team could use that cap space. Argos' weakness on third and short is an embarrassment because they had the whole off season to address it and didn't. This flaw will kill them in a close game. Congrats to Derek Slywka for a career game. That was something that may never be duplicated by anyone.
Self-correction to my post. In my reference to the Dan Adeboboye trade I called him Adam. Mental error. No excuse. That's going offside on third and goal at the one. I have fined myself.
Tyrrel pigrome was an excellent short yardage QB for Ottawa a couple seasons ago. Grab him
