2018 CFL Season Thread

[Erick Estrada]

They aren't bleeping anything out and there's F-bombs galore. I wonder if TSN gets a lot of complaints. I wouldn't want to see this every game but it's interesting to hear the coaches and players in the huddle as there's more confusion than I would have thought at times.

This Richie Hall coached Bomber defense is really pretty terrible.

Good job CFL! this live mic thing is awesome.

Just as good as the playoff hockey with no commentary, pumped up crowd noise when the RDS guys went on strike 8-10 years ago.

Bombers keep signing big name free agents every offseason yet keep trotting out the same crappy defense.

Ty Long should be fined for terrible embellishment - Nobody close to him and he flops to the turf.

“I honestly don’t know,” said Mitchell when asked if he’d consider bolting south next year if a legitimate offer came in.

“My focus is strictly on this year and making sure I do everything I can to make Calgary want to re-sign me.

“The (soon to expire) CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) is what it is. That’s what’s causing a lot of us guys not to re-sign. With the way the league mandated teams not to pay out off-season bonuses there’s not much incentive to go out and sign right now. And we don’t know what the cap is going to be. So, it makes it hard, and in a weird way not smart, to sign right now.”

“Huff sat me down and asked, ‘has your interest in the NFL changed at all?’” said the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player in 2016, whose club is already 3-0 with him leading the way.

“All I told him is that it would have to be a vast difference to even think about it, given the way the NFL felt about me. I still feel slighted when I came out of college and I love this league and I want to keep building my career and my legacy here.”
Having won one Grey Cup and pacing his club to appearances in three of the last four championship games, Mitchell’s stats put him amongst the CFL’s greats already.

In a way I don't see Bo going down to the NFL. He won't be a regular roster player - I think he's a Stampeder for his career.

^^^ Tough call. My bet is he goes if the call comes his way. Someone with his talent, there is a burning desire to show you belong in the NFL ... better to try than to regret not trying when you are older.

He'll get some good advice from DD on this (i don't know if Dave regrets holding the clipboard with the Chargers though)

I dont know about that. If the right team comes along and says they will give him a legit shot at becoming a starter through training camp, that offer will be 3 or 4 million a year for 2 years, and if can get half of that guarenteed, he would be foolish not to go. Thats life changing money.

[White Out 403]

if the NFL comes with a big contract for him to sit on the bench how could he turn that down? thats financial security for him and his family for their lives and their childrens lives. he'd be gone.

the only question is if the NFL comes knocking.

[CaptainCrunch]

I honestly think that Bo would be training camp fodder, he'd be bought in with the smallest chance to make a team.


Frankly he's a 6'2 pocket passer, which in the NFL is detrimental. He's accurate but he in my mind doesn't have an NFL arm. He's smart, but if you're his size you need escapability which is tough against the super high speed NFL ends.


Bo will have to make a decision, because I don't think he's going to get signed to a big dollar dea, he's going to have to be willing to be a training camp invite and then fight against other higher profile QB's or veteran QB's.


Don't believe that I'm for a moment saying that Bo isn't a great QB, but he's just not the physical prototype that the NFL wants. He doesn't bring a Doug Fluties evasiveness, nor a Dieter Brock Canon. My closest comparison to him would be Tommy Clements who was an unbelievably smart QB and should have gotten a bigger NFL shot then he did, but if you don't either check off the physical aspects checklist, or he's unique checklist he won't get much of a look.

Saskatchewan looks like garbage

[White Out 403]

2 non existent Montreal penalties in a row.

omg Karma is sweet. Carter gets TORCHED right after for a TD. Thankfully no more BS penalties to call it back.

[dash_pinched]

Please Chris Jones keep playing Duron Carter as a cornerback.

What an idiotic coach. haha

Mike Reilly might be the best QB in CFL history for Chris Jones to win a grey cup as a head coach.

Brandon Bridge is what i thought he was.

Not very good.

Stupid.

[dash_pinched]

Carter was burnt bad again, but Williams dropped the ball and then Carter gets flagged for unnecessary roughness.
