2014 CFL Regular Season Thread

[OzSome]

Cotton ran the ball over 10 yards only to be called by on a holding penalty. Drew Willy pass the ball were intercepted. Back-to-back INT pass by Willy.

Good non-call roughing the passer penalty but Peg got the PI penalty, which I thought was close. BC just scored a TD two plays after the INT.

[OzSome]

Seriously?? Who's calling the play for Winnipeg's offense? Why are they trying to pass the ball on first down when your QB is too slow to throw the ball and your running ball is running the ball so well? 9 QB sacks for BC tonight and came so close to 10.

[OzSome]

BC just scored another TD. I am done watching this game. No wonder the Bombers lost 7 games in a row already and going to be 8 in a few minutes. Terrible team bad QB and awful OC.

Question about Grey Cup tickets. Is it better to wait and see who makes it before buying? Last few years have been anomalies as the host city made it, but I can see a bunch of tickets getting dumped if/when BC gets eliminated. On the flip side, if Sask or BC find a way to get to the final, I suspect they could be resold pretty easily?

Anyone else going? If so, have you already bought tickets?

Eskimos manhandled the Lions 37-3

So that clinches 2nd in the west for Edmonton.

If BC wins next week they finish 3rd in the West and Sask will be the crossover team.

If BC loses and Sask wins then BC will be the crossover team.

If both teams win/lose, Sask will be the crossover team because of the tiebreaker. They played each other twice and each team won once, but BC had the better points for/against in those games.

Is Durant getting back in at QB this weekend for the Riders?

They're activated him from the injured list according to Saskatchewan/CFL Facebook pages. He better be 100% if they are indeed going to play him

[tvp2003]

With Montreal on a hot streak, is the crossover still the preferred route to the Grey Cup (versus having to play Edmonton and then Calgary, both on the road)?

Looks like they're being smart and he won't play this weekend

Going to be a good game tomorrow. Hamilton's playoff fate relies on this game. If they win by 8 points vs Montreal, they get the first place, they lose they are done for the season.

In the West, I am not sure it would be beneficial for Saskatchewan to win the game vs the Eskies. They win, they'll play the Eskies in the Western Semi-Final. They lose and they will play in either Hamilton, Toronto or Montreal. I think that's much better than facing the Eskimos.

This season has not been the best but these last couple games have proven interesting with a lot at stake. I like when the last games have meaning!

[DOOM]

23-4 Saskatchewan. 11:08 left in the 3rd quarter, if they win the will finish 3rd in the west and BC will crossover.

[tvp2003]

East got a lot more interesting with Hamilton getting home field.

Part of me wanted Sask to play the crossover but I won't mind if Sask and Edmonton beat each other up for two games in a row.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Well that was a boring game. Off to Edmonton!

[tvp2003]

That does it -- BC is the cross-over team. How crazy would it be if they made it to the Grey Cup as the East rep (i.e. visiting team)?

[Flickered Flame]

The Esks are in a world of trouble if Reilly is actually hurt.

[OzSome]

That game Edmonton and Saskatchewan was pretty messed up. It seems that both teams are purposedly throwing the game so they can play an easier team in the first round. Edmonton wants Riders to win so they play them in the playoff. Possible No Durant and they also beat them badly this season so that makes the Riders easier to beat than Montreal.
Saskatchewan, on the other hand were ahead by 2 TDs and used their third stringer QB. They even done so many boneheaded moves and even fumbled the ball close to the end zone, which Eskimos scored TD. Eskimos could have tied but I suspected they weren't too keen on scoring. Throwing the ball to Fred Stamps when Riders defender Macho Harris was all over him.
Total unprofessionalism by both coaches.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

I don't think it was unprofessional by the coaches, but the game resembled a preseason game. I suspect that if the Riders were behind Joseph would have stayed in because you play to win the game. Both teams sat a bunch of guys, just a weird one.

Personally I'm glad the Riders have stayed in the west. The crossover team has never won and the east is playing well now. The west certainly won't be easy, but that's why you play the games.

I hope Durant doesn't play unless he is 100% healthy.

I want to see BC win the east and be the visitor in their own stadium for the grey cup.

[Flickered Flame]

Speculation is that Reilly has a broken bone in his foot.
