CFL: The CFL Thread: Part VI

[Boss Man Hughes]

Review got the call right. pass interference on Ottawa. Jersey was being held.

And they screw up the 2nd one. Should have been pass interference.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Pretty sure OTT wins that game if they start Masoli. Brown was soooo bad. The Als are a very tough team to try and comeback on.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Edmonton have no QB. Ford is trash.

Unlikely. Masoli is no good either.

 

[MM917]

But all the Edmonton media and fans claimed he was the future MVP just getting held back by mean old Chris Jones LOL

Tre Ford is dogshit, I wouldn't take him over Maier and Maier is the worst QB I have seen in the history of the Stamps.

 

[DoubleEFan]

It was surprising they started Tre Ford for this game. Earlier in the season I was on the bandwagon for putting Ford in. As much as I like Tre Ford and wanted to see him start, I felt MBT was winning games and they should have stayed with what was winning games. Or at least put MBT in yesterday with more than 9 minutes left in the game to try and salvage things. Tre Ford clearly was awful the entire game until he got something going in the 3rd quarter, but then gave the game away with that pick. Tre Ford hasn’t played since his injury and to put him in to start against a team as good as the Bombers and announce right at the end of the previous game that he definitely would be the starter is puzzling. Unless it was to drum up more ticket sales. They want Tre Ford to stay in the pocket, but he really isn’t that kind of quarterback. Which is why MBT may have been the better choice up against a strong Winnipeg defence. It appeared even MBT thought he should have been put in the game sooner. He was reaching for his helmet before half time and warming up. Maybe at this point they give Tre Ford the start on Friday and prepare to put MBT in much earlier if things go awry. Really whatever decision is made about who starts on Friday will be questioned.

We end the month of September with CFL Week 17.

Edmonton (5-9) at Winnipeg (8-6) Fri. 8PM ET

• The Blue Bombers have now won six in a row as their defence caused problems for the Elks last week. Edmonton is making a QB switch with McLeod Bethel-Thompson getting the start for this one.

Hamilton (5-9) at BC (7-7) Fri. 10:30PM ET

• Three straight wins has the TiCats still in playoff contention, but they'll have the tough task of a late start in Vancouver. It appears that Nathan Rourke will be the starting QB for the Lions in this one, but I don't think the QB controversy will go away yet.

Ottawa (8-5-1) at Saskatchewan (6-7-1) Sat. 3PM ET

• These two teams played to a tie in their last meeting, but both teams will need a win here. Ottawa is trying to hang onto second in the East for a home playoff game, while the Riders have a wafer-thin hold on a playoff spot.

Montreal (11-2-1) at Toronto (7-7) Sat. 7PM ET

• The Alouettes appear to be back to their winning ways after a weird stumble for a couple of weeks, and can clinch first in the East with a win in this one. The Argos meanwhile have been very inconsistent, but still hold a playoff spot right.

Bye Week - Calgary (4-9-1). Some locker-room infighting happened after dropping an important game to the Riders. This keeps adding to my theory that many changes are needed in Calgary, but apathetic ownership won't do anything in all likelihood.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Edmonton getting blown out by a mediocre Bomber team.

Edmonton getting blown out by a mediocre Bomber team.

Their fans, and especially, their media will blame it on a shitty Tre Ford not starting as though he would make a difference on giving up 400+ yards passing.

 

[robertmac43]

Peters down early for the Ticats, not looking good.

 

[ManByng]

PATHETIC defensive showing from the Elks! Can't wait to say goodbye to Trey Ford !!

 

[robertmac43]

BC place always seems so lifeless to me. Not a hit on the fans that show up, just feels dimly lit and cavernous....

 

[Sensrule]

Wow. Bo and the Ti-Cats are legit. Big comeback tonight. Argos really need to get it together with a win tomorrow because I can see Hamilton winning all their remaining games.

 

[Orr Fourever]

Bo Levi has found the fountain of yooth...

Harris is a waste. Masoli is a waste Battle of the wastes.

Have you ever written anything positive about anything ?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Have you ever written anything positive about anything ?

Sometimes. I prefer to concentrate on the negative. The Roughrider that pile drove the Ottawa receiver at the end of the game should be suspended for the season.

"Sometimes" ?

Stange definition of that word...

 

[Sensrule]

Argos need to clean up their red zone offense. Still really sloppy. They should be up by more. Hard to get a read on this game since the Als have nothing to play for. The real test will be against the Bombers in a couple of weeks time.

 

[Sensrule]

Shades of the East Final. Argos are somehow losing.

 

[Orr Fourever]

Fajardo was ass.

Bombers have a decent chance where they may not be playing for anything by then.

Bombers win + EDM win this week and Bombers lock up the West.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Stupid Ottawa. That may have killed my dream of an East crossover.

 

[sonic92]

Took me a bit, but I've finally got enough "omph" in me to talk about Week 18 in the CFL.

Winnipeg (9-6) at Hamilton (6-9) Fri. 7PM ET

• An 0-4 start is a distant memory in Winnipeg as the Blue Bombers have clinched an 8th consecutive playoff berth. While they focus on trying to lock down the West, the Tiger-Cats continue their fight for playoff survival.

Calgary (4-9-1) at BC (7-8) Fri. 10PM ET

• Dave Dickinson seems to have finally got the memo that his job is on the line here down the stretch. Facing another slumping team in the Lions might get the Stampeders on track (I hope).

Saskatchewan (7-7-1) at Edmonton (5-10) Sat. 7PM ET

• A little drug called hopium has consumed the province of Saskatchewan with the Riders winning their last two. They might get another one here since the Elks have returned to their stumbling ways.

Bye Week - Montreal (11-3-1), Ottawa (8-6-1) and Toronto (8-7).
