CFL: The CFL Thread: Part VI

[Hank Chinaski]

It was windy the entire game, but for a sudden gale force win to come in right when the Als punted?

To borrow the perfect quote from someone on the Jets board, it was like something scripted in a bad Hallmark movie about football.

I live about 15 KM away from the stadium to the south and the storm came through about 4 minutes after it went through McGill Stadium. It was intense for 1 minute and then it was back to normalcy. Just bizarre.

Go Riders....

Chad Kelly and the Argos as a whole have a chance at redemption next week.

 

[Dust]

No real upsets, these have been the best 4 teams for most of the 2nd half of the season. Ottawa really faded badly after a great start. I like Bob Dyce as a coach, but not as a HC.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

CFL does this thing where they do "simulations" and post it for how likely teams are to make the playoffs down the stretch, clinch division, clinch home field, then odds to win Grey Cup, make Grey Cup, etc, etc. As it narrows down so do the options. Well CFL just released they "simulation" odds for this week. It can be found here. But there's one odd thing I'd like to highlight as to how useless they are.

ODDS TO APPEAR IN 111TH GREY CUPTeamProjection
Winnipeg79.23%
Montreal60.74%
Toronto39.26%
Saskatchewan13.13%

That's a ridiculous amount of favoritism for the Bombers in that game, and I'm saying that as a Bombers fan. However that's not even what I'm talking about.

Winnipeg 79.23%
Saskatchewan 13.13%

79.23+13.13 = 92.36%

So I guess in the CFL simulations 7.64% of the time an asteroid hit the stadium and both teams were wiped out?

Game day.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Als defense has been mediocre late in the season, Offense is shit and can't hold onto the ball.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Had a very bad feeling about this game and my bad feeling is being confirmed. Turning over the ball as if we are paid to do it and finally Toronto takes advantage.

Did any of the Als glass body receivers come back?

Edit; I see Mack is back.

 

[Sensrule]

Kelly ain't afraid to throw it deep. Hope he doesn't throw more picks.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Fajardo can't make an accurate throw. Time for the backup.

 

[Sensrule]

Not looking good for the Argos. Damn.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Not looking good for the Argos. Damn.

And a worthless sack of dog shit returns a punt for a TD. Of course there are no flags. Wouldn't have happened if Fajardo would stop throwing to Rambo. He can't catch.

Als are eating the Argos D alive. If it wasn't for those turnovers. Als would be running away with this one.

 

[Sensrule]

Wow that took guts to throw that TD. If it was incomplete I think they wouldn't have time to kick the FG.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I don't even know if I should be outraged or amazed at this game, lol. 4 turnovers in the 1st half and yet it's still a close game.

Refs will give Argos the game.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Turnover #5. Good grief.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Chad Kelly just broke his leg, it appears.

 

[Sensrule]

f***. Kelly breaks his leg

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Return of the Mack! 1 score game.

 

[Sensrule]

It's on the defence now if the Argos want to move on.
