November 15, 20159 yr Author comment_168947 Calgary was lucky to beat the Bombers, and Sask. Not as good as their record. Edmonton struggles on offence
November 15, 20159 yr Author comment_168948 ridiculous PI call at the endzone on Calgary 28. get some decent refs CFL!
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168949 Each team supplies the footballs used by their offence, so if a defensive player kicks/throws a ball into the stands, it's a penalty because the ball belongs to the other team. If an offensive player throws/kicks the ball into the stands, it belongs to his own team, so there is no penalty. The rule is beyond stupid regardless of the reasoning. Just make kicking the ball when it's dead a penalty for the safety of everyone. A penalty anytime balls are kicked after a play? Seems reasonable to me I can get behind that.
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168950 The whole league is terrible. High school football quality juxtaposed with the NFL. Everything about it.
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168951 Expansion, has diluted the quality of play, no doubt about it. It's nice that Ottawa has a team and they're doing well, but some of the players and even coaching they now employ would help the overall state of play IMO if spread out through the rest of the league. Guess it's nice for tradition, but it is what it is once you go down that road ...
November 15, 20159 yr Author comment_168953 NFL ? .... Aaron rogers threw 61 passes today against the lions, scored 18 and lost. 61 passes. If that isn't high school..... couple of weeks ago, saints beat the giants 52 to 49. There's plenty of bad football in both leagues. nfl shmenfl.
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168954 That game was 100x more entertaining than any CFL game this year. I watched most of it. Switched over to TSN to see bad players on bad teams playing each other in a sad stadium with no atmosphere and horrible TV production. Just brutal.
November 15, 20159 yr Author comment_168955 obviously hoofing the ball after a play is a penalty in the West, but not the East. makes sense.
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168957 Calgary runs Messam wide & he fumbles. He should be going off tackle& pounding the Lions defense. Crazy call. Stamps look like the Cheshire Cat with the lead they have over the Lions...

Switched over to TSN to see bad players on bad teams playing each other in a sad stadium with no atmosphere and horrible TV production. Just brutal. Agreed. Another Ricky Ray stinker. Good statline, couldn't score enough points. The story of his career beyond 2003.
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168959 Not only that, they're going to win it. wish the Bombers could get a player like 97 Hamilton. If #97 Hamilton is Ted Laurent, we did have him at one time.
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168960 Not only that, they're going to win it. wish the Bombers could get a player like 97 Hamilton. If #97 Hamilton is Ted Laurent, we did have him at one time. Stop rubbing it in ...

Switched over to TSN to see bad players on bad teams playing each other in a sad stadium with no atmosphere and horrible TV production. Just brutal. Agreed. Another Ricky Ray stinker. Good statline, couldn't score enough points. The story of his career beyond 2003. Harris had a couple of bad games & he was benched. Then, Harris can't get back on the field. And Milanovich is so good.
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168967 Milanovich pulling Harris is my pick for boneheaded coaching decision of the season so far (MOS is happy it finally supplanted all of those games that he decided Brohm should play LOL).
November 15, 20159 yr Author comment_168973 Not only that, they're going to win it. wish the Bombers could get a player like 97 Hamilton. If #97 Hamilton is Ted Laurent, we did have him at one time. yah that's the guy.
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168974 Harris deserved to be benched given how poorly he played the last few games of the season. Ray played fine in the second half. Stepped up in the pocket numerous times against the attacking Hamilton d-line and completed several impressive passes under pressure. My only beef with him is a couple of long passes that missed the mark on second and long. He would have been better off continuing with the passes underneath or intermediate passes. The collapse of the defense in the last quarter to quarter and a half cost the Argos the game though. Waters also played a role. Tough conditions in a budget stadium (built at ground level with now surrounding walls and thus allows for wind to play too much of a role in this day and age) but considering how good he is supposed to be he should have made two of the three field goals. Calgary proving they are still a good/great team in the CFL with what looks to be another decisive win over the Lions. Can't wait for next week's battle of Alberta.
November 15, 20159 yr Author comment_168975 beating a team with a rookie qb who has started what four games? not sure that's a sign of being good/great.

Switched over to TSN to see bad players on bad teams playing each other in a sad stadium with no atmosphere and horrible TV production. Just brutal. Selective memory. The Ottawa-Hamilton game just last week was fantastic.
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168977 Watched nothing but CFL and curling all day. Proud to be Canadian. Have zero interest in American stuff.
November 15, 20159 yr Author comment_168979 I don't mind a bit of NFL. or, CFL, or CIS football.... Arena football can be entertaining.
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168986 beating a team with a rookie qb who has started what four games? not sure that's a sign of being good/great. Ray outplayed Masoli. Hamilton D is one of the best in the league while the Argos D might be the worst. Which Qb faced the tougher D? Hamiton had a big assist from their special teams in their victory. Check out the yardage from special teams in the final stats
November 15, 20159 yr Author comment_168989 sorry, blueandgodguy I meant Calgary over B.C.. ps broncos game first 8 possessions 3 int 5 punts.... manning benched. must be a first.
November 16, 20159 yr comment_168996 Not only that, they're going to win it. wish the Bombers could get a player like 97 Hamilton. If #97 Hamilton is Ted Laurent, we did have him at one time. No we didn't...
