Mr Dee Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Brandon Rutley starts in the backfield for Montreal in place of Sutton. And, DB Jonathon Mincy returns.. “Our biggest issue is turnovers,” explained HC Rick Campbell. “We need to create more and give up less. NUMBERS 2 – Sacks allowed by the Alouettes, the fewest in the league. 3 – Wins in four career starts against Montreal for Ottawa quarterback Trevor Harris. 5 – Catches needed by Alouettes receiver Nik Lewis to reach 1,000 on his career — a mark only reached by three players in league history. 123 — Points allowed by the REDBLACKS, the most in the CFL. GAME DAY NOTES Week 4 saw only 7 challenges - the lowest amount in any week this season. • This season, the average of challenges per game is 2.00. Last year’s average was 2.22. • BC has challenged the most this season with six; however, Hamilton has not challenged a single play so far this season. • Ottawa owns the best success rate at .750 while Montreal has the worst at .333. • Of the 32 challenges this season, 18 have been overturned (56%). • Of the 24 penalty-related challenges this year 10 have been for defensive pass interference and nine for illegal contact. Jackson’s 339 return yards in a single game ranks him fourth all-time only trailing: Larry Taylor (428), Bashir Levingston (345) and Marcus Thigpen (340). This season there have been 17 ‘Big Play’ kick returns (30-yard punt/FGM return and 40+ yard kick returns). Ottawa, Saskatchewan, Toronto and Winnipeg share the lead with three each. BC and Hamilton have not registered a ‘Big Play’ in the kick return game. Tonight? Montreal’s Nik Lewis continues to inch closer to notching his 1,000th Following his three receptions versus Calgary, he now only needs five more catches to become the fourth player in CFL history with 1,000. Ricky Ray is the lone quarterback this season to pass for 300+ yards in each game. His passing yards totals are 506, 323, 366 and 330. 11 games this year have been decided by eight points or less. **Games longer this year?…NOPE - The average game time has dropped by two minutes (2:49) and averages 155 plays per game. Week 4 saw the lowest amount of penalties per game at 15.5. A team that allows a sack during a drive have still not scored a touchdown. There have been 63 drives that a team has allowed a sack, and yet none have scored a touchdown on that drive. SACKS APPEAL? When a team does not allow a sack, they have scored a touchdown 19% of their drives (1 in 5.3 possessions). rebusrankin and blue_gold_84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taynted_Fayth Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I got Montreal winning this one. After beating the stamps they gotta be ridin high, and Ottawa has a lot of pressure on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 I think the Als will slip back to Earth and Ottawa will squeak out a win. Didn't Thigpen's big return day came against the Bombers too? Wasn't that the day when only a restraining order could have saved Glenn from Phil Hunt? Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedFlex27 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Even though the game is in Ottawa this evening, remember when Montreal used to brag about their umpteenth consecutive sellout at Molson Stadium when the place held 20,000? Oh those were certainly heady days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted July 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) .......NIK LEWIS 1000 CATCHES! Bravo NIK - that's quite an accomplishment! Edited July 20, 2017 by Mr Dee rebusrankin, Tracker, SPuDS and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold_Palmer Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Two medicore teams. Sure both teams can move the ball, but their defenses, and special teams leave a lot to be desired. Really like Harris think he's a good QB. Powell runs really tough and shifty. Also think we really could use a guy like Nik Lewis on our roster as a 4/5 option he's still really sure handed, knows how to find that sweet spot in the zone.

Taynted_Fayth Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 well that was a kick in the pants for me, stupid Stangby runs like 50 yards sideline to sideline and gets caught a few yards short costing me my lock pick, and montreal blows the 3rd and 1 costing me my pick em pick. Maybe it's time to also start up a therapeutic gin regiment to deal with the FFS's CodyT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Ellingston scores for my lock pick. Harris and Sinopoli put up good fantasy numbers and then play again this week for bonus points. Mark H. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa has a good QB and good Canadians, which IMO are the two key building blocks in the CFL. They'll be contending again.

He won one for us and was awesome during that playoff run. He also chocked in two others. Doesn't mean I have to love him forever does it? Since you brought up classy, what about Durant chirping the rider bench after a missed field goal win? A game that he didn't exactly look stellar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have a paltry 3 Grey Cup wins if not for Durant (not that 4 is much better) & you turn on him because he said a few things after the game? He had every right to chirp after the things Chris Jones said about him. Edited July 20, 2017 by SpeedFlex27 rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, the game in 84 when he came back to Winnipeg with the Ti Cats with the "Brock Buster" song was fun. Even Brock enjoyed that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are supposed to forgive in a month? DD will be a plaza member here when the time comes.
