The '''[[2007 CFL season|2007]] [[Montreal Alouettes]]''' finished third place in the [[Canadian Football League East Division|East Division]] in 2007. Jim Popp decided to remain as [[head coach]] rather than hire a replacement for [[Don Matthews]], who unexpectedly resigned the previous season. The results were unexpected as the Alouettes endured their first losing season since rejoining the league in [[1996 CFL season|1996]]. In October 2007, quarterback Anthony Calvillo's wife was diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's cancer of the lymph glands or nodes; Calvillo took indefinite leave of absence from the team to be with his wife. The Alouettes appeared in the East Semi-Final with backup quarterback Marcus Brady, losing to the [[Winnipeg Blue Bombers]] and putting an end to a disappointing season.
