CFL

This is quite the exciting end to the CFL season. We're in the last week, and 5/8 teams are 10-7. I'm personally hoping that the eskies beat Sask and bc loses against Montreal, so we get the western playoff home game. Who else is watching I intently?

Absolutely. Its been a crazy year. Really hard to say who will end up in what spot, let alone who has the best chance to go to the Grey Cup. I'm a Stamps fan, so I'm hoping both BC and Edmonton loose. That's pretty unlikely, but if they can beat Winnipeg I think they do have a decent chance at hosting the semi-final.

Wow my eskies pulled out a squeaker tonight. Bowman had the game of his life, and I froze my toes. Crazy. It shouldn't of been so close but a wins a win. Hopefully BC loses tomorrow.

Looks like neither of got our wish. Hopefully the Stamps can get a big win on Sunday. There is a chance that Messam wont be able to play. As much as I love the Stamps and hate the Eskimos, I hope he can play. Would be a great showdown of two great Canadian running backs.

A lot of esky jersies at ihop today... I'm getting stoked about this game, I hope that the eskies dominate you guys though! haha. In the east I'm shocked to see Hamilton in the lead for most of the game so far, although after Montreal played last game, they don't deserve to win anyway.

Highest scoring playoff game in CFL history. Crazy. Congrats to Hamilton.

In the West, Calgary basically handed the win to Edmonton. That was tough to watch. Give some credit to Edmonton for taking advantage, but they are going to have to be a lot better to get by BC. Their only points in the second half (besides a single) came because Calgary turned the ball over on downs at the 1.

Weird season, but it kept my attention.

Lots of wackiness, some great games, some barn burners, some drama, some dud games--some dud weeks.

But it keeps getting better overall...

I'll be following the last two weeks coming up.

BLAH! Eskies out. They didn't play like they wanted a win today, it was very unfortunate. I predict that the Lions will stomp all over the blue bombers next week.

zedman · 11-20-2011, 10:46 PM

Looks good on them.

They just spent a number of years in last, or close to it.

They shouldn't get back to the Grey Cup that easily.

The Lions looked motivated.

But I will be cheering for the Bombers next week.

zedman · 11-27-2011, 09:12 PM

Oh well, Lions won...

normajean777 · 11-27-2011, 09:28 PM

Ya I wanted winnipeg to win to... I just didn't think it would happen

Anyone following what is happening with the Argos taking Chris Jones from the Stampeders? They got a $5,000 fine for tampering, which seems really low especially since Calgary doesn't get any compensation. So far I don't think Jones has actually been hired by TO though, which does seem strange.

It seems a paltry slap on the wrist for meddling/tampering.

I don't buy the Argos excuses.
But that's what happens when one guy owns two teams.
The Argos need a new owner.

Ray to the Argos? I really didn't want him to stay an esky, but I didn't think we'd have the guts to get rid of him ever or get such a lousy qb in return.

dtaylorl · 12-14-2011, 04:40 PM

Why didn't you want him to stay an Eskimo? Ricky Ray is a great QB. I think Jyles could do very well on a solid Eskimos team, but he is definitely a downgrade from Ray.

As a Stamps fan I don't like it because it takes away one of our best options for trading Burris. I though him to TO for Jyles + ? would have been good, but I guess thats out. Now he may just get released. Very unfortunate, because as much as I am glad Drew Tate will be our started, if Burris has a good hear he could still be the best QB in the league.
