CFL 2013 Season Thread

It's like BC is playing the Winnipeg Rifles of the CJFL

[Brannigans Law]

Fold the Bombers they're a disgrace to the CFL. And that's saying something.

[Machiavelli]

LOL, get these hacks playing at QB off this team.

From Bombers fan site

"We are worse than the Ottawa Redblacks. Right now. They don't have any players and they are better than us. If we think this is embarrassing wait until we are way worse than an expansion team next year."

Came across some dirt on Winnipeg and thought it was interesting.

Winnipeg have given up 50 points twice in 23 games with Burke as head coach. Had given up 50 points twice in prior 157 games.

They have given up 146 points off turnovers this year. They have a league-worst minus-26 turnover ratio this year. The CFL record is -36, a good chance they break that.

They have thrown 197 consecutive passes in the 2nd half without a touchdown. 373 minutes and 49 seconds. Equal to 6.25 games

5th time they have started a game with a turnover on their first drive this season (most in CFL).

Justin Palardy was 9/12 (75%) when cut. His replacement Sandro DeAngelis is 9/13 (69%).

Reilly took a wicked hit to the helmet and had to leave the game. I don't think it was malicious on the part of the defender, it's the type of play that happens 20+ times a game. Problem was that Reilly is the QB and he was falling so the defender couldn't properly line him up.

Commentators say how this is a part of the game that needs to change, defenders need to learn not to lead with the helmet, I fully agree with this. On the next Edmonton drive Joseph comes in and scrambles, leads with his helmet and bowls over a defender. Not a peep about Joseph leading with his helmet from the commentators! This is what bugs me about all these head contact rules. It's becoming such a disadvantage for defenders to do their job.

Pretty shoddy treatment/analysis by the Eskimos trainer. Clear as day that Reilly was knocked out and suffered a concussion, yet he stayed in the game. I don't care that he threw a hail mary TD pass on the following play, there's no way he should have remained in the game.

[Dogbert]

Totally agree with the panel on that one - no way Reilly should've been allowed to stay in. Is the Eskimos' training staff on drugs or something?

[M*A*S*H 4077]

I think it's also on the refs, they need to enforce the concussion protocol stuff as well. Reilly looked out of it to me watching on TV, how does someone in the field not notice?

[Drake]

It sure looked like Toronto was out of gas playing their 4th straight road game for awhile there, then Pat Watkins had a pick which really turned the game around for them. Now its interesting with them down 3 and lots of time left in the 4th quarter.

Swayze Waters will be unemployed on Monday morning.

[chemgear]

Haha, what a ridiculous series of fumbles!

[OzSome]

Crazy finish on Toronto-Edmonton game. 3 minutes left in the game and Toronto just scored a TD. It is now 27-22.

On that TD... first Watkins hit QB Kerry Joseph and recovered the fumble. Watkins then fumbled the ball on a 2 yard line but recovered by Toronto. On the next play Zach Collaros ran the ball to the end zone but fumbled the ball and recovered by RB Chad Kackert.

[OzSome]

Fred Stamps dropped the ball twice in a row. hahaha!!

I missed pretty much the entire game..why is Kerry Josephi playing QB for Eskimos? What happened to Reilly?

Never mind... just read the post above.

[OzSome]

Game Over!!! Marcus Ball just intercepted the ball and went for a TD with 40 seconds left. 34-22. Edmonton choke big time!!

[OzSome]

Holy cow..brain fart by Edmonton. They just fumbled the kick return. Toronto recovered.

[Drake]

LMAO at Ed Hervey and then the fumbled kick return.

EDIT: Kavis Reed looks like he is about to lose his lunch and breakfast.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Durant has been absolutely pitiful against the rules blitz the last month or so. Riders falling back to where I thought they would be.

[Żoso]

This sums up my feelings about the Riders right now.

Spoiler!

[OzSome]

Awesome...another lost by the Riders. 4 games in a row!! just love it!!
