‘Ottawa’ Ottawa Redblacks Need to Avoid Costly Penalties in Montreal Against Alouettes
Maybe it’s a simple solution, maybe it’s not that hard to become the football team that began the CFL season with three wins in its first four games.
But to get there, the Ottawa Redblacks are going to have to wipe out brain freezes that have dogged them (and for sure, there have been good moments, too) for the past five games, where they’ve won just once. Maybe the worst of the bunch was an Aug. 19 date with the Montreal Alouettes where the underdogs snuck into town and stung the home side 43-19. The Redblacks are hoping a return engagement with the Als — Thursday at Percival Molson Stadium — goes in a much different direction.
“Any time you lose, it’s a low point,” said linebacker Damaso Munoz on Wednesday morning, just before the Redblacks hopped on a Montreal-bound bus. “We have a lot of games to be played, there’s a lot of season left. Thank God we had our down thing in the middle of the season, not at the end.”
