Re: Official 2012 CFL Thread

Should be a great game on today..........ALS vs LIONS.

~~Go Lions....back to back Cups!!~~

It was better game than I expected. Lions probably should have won because they seemingly got 8 or 9 yards on every 1st down. Plus like every other team, they have the advantage in the return game against the Als which was especially noticeable in the 2nd half. Als just won because the old guys at home know how to squeak out a victory.

Great game by both teams. They both fought to the end like two championship teams. It should be a good game next week in BC. The Montreal Defense is getting better every game. What can you say about Cavillo?

I didn't see any posts after the "Great game".
Means Lions lost I guess. Same like no posts after Canuck Loss.

That was a great game and only decided by a late under thrown pass by Lulay to Bruce...........who had a spectacular game.

What a pickup he's been.

Hopefully, today's games will be more exciting than that Bomber embarrassment yesterday. At least with LaPolice, the Bombers put up some points in garbage time. Yesterday, they could not even score a single against a team that had lost 5 in a row. Not that the Bomber defense or special teams was any better. Even though one might blame lay the blame on Burke, I suspect Bomber fans are now after Mack.

52-0.................HOLY CRAP............fire the coach. lol

Seeing how the Argo's offense appear stagnant for the most part and the fact that they were trailing at the end of three, one would not have thought they could pull it out in the 4th. Then the Ti-Cats give up a safety and things turned completely around. Ti-Cats lose again this week on a late field goal which makes that 4 losses in a row.

In game 2, the Eskimo's offense was stagnant as well. After the Burnett pick for a touchdown, I thought the Eskimos had a good chance of winning. But after Burnett decided to bring the kickoff out of the endzone instead of giving up a single, I expected the comeback to fall short. Okay, it was actually wide left.

Wacky game in the Alberta rematch. At the end of both halves, the Eskimos attempted a field goal. In the first half, there was a bad snap which somehow ended up in a long touchdown pass. At the end of the game, Shaw's attempt hits the upright. That makes it consecutive weeks where the Eskimos missed a chance for a walkoff field goal win.

In game one, the Ti-Cats have now lost 5 in a row. I was expecting a better effort. Those two long touchdown runs by Kackert without even being touch made the Ti-Cats defense look bad.

In game two, the old guy's chances were gone by the 2nd quarter when the difference in special team returns/cover became apparent. Big difference in field position. And once their gimmick blitzes became less effective against Lulay, the results became 1st down after first down for the Lions.

Also for those who have not seen it, here is a commercial with the Flutie brothers. Funny thing is they are talking about some college game against Holy Cross. So do they show the brothers in Boston College uniforms? Nope. The still picture they show is from the time Doug was with Calgary and Darren was with BC.

No surprise here. When was the last time Als win in BC?

Wow. Major second-guessing will happen against Burke's decision at the end of the game. When up by one with about a minute left, he had a chance to attempt a 43yard field goal to put the Bombers up by 4. Instead, he elects to punt the ball. Well they do get a single but are only up by two. Drew Willy drives the Riders the other way for a walkoff 40yard field goal win.

Another Bomber dud of a performance. Still no offensive touchdowns since the coaching change.

They are playing more like an expansion team than somebody who was in the Grey Cup last year. Maybe right now, Ottawa could give the Bombers a game. Of course Ottawa does not even have any players yet.
