Matthew Cruz CFL.ca memorable made-for-TV moments from this season.
1 Diversity is Strength T-shirts
2 Karen Kuldys misses one million dollars - on a penalty call.
3 Nic Lewis passes(receives actually) Geron Simon for the most receptions.
4 The punts. First, it was Ryan Lankford, then it was Boris Bede, then Lankford again. You don't see that in ‘Mercian football
5 SJ Green 10 receptions 210 yards (with 5 over 20 yards)
6 Duron Carter’s one-handed TD catch
7 O’Shea’s special teams kick to Miller on a fake FG. Sneaky
8 Gainy’s 4 interception day.
9 Week 1 Grey Cup rematch…ends in a tie.
10 60 points for one team, 1 for the other.
11 Bomber’s epic comeback from 12 points with under 2 minutes to play
Blue and Gold CFL - CFL.ca writers made up their all-star teams today & their consensus team feat. 3 members on the #Bombers o-line. Oh how times have changed
-Of the 41 games played so far this season, 24 of them have been decided in the final three minutes.
CFL Headlines- Goossen: Bombers players are better, closer, since O’Shea’s arrival
-Bryan Hall cut along with two others from Stampeders goo.gl/fb/4548Zy #Stampeders #Stamps
Steve Patterson - I assume Air Canada gave up naming rights to Leafs/Raptors arena because they couldn't sell more tickets than there are available seats.
Steve Daniel has been the head CFL statistician since 2007. He tracks general numbers to the most obscure ones through every 60 minutes of football during the season. And Daniel is fascinated by the trends he's seeing in the game this year, especially when it comes to the changing offence.
"The rushing carries per game is the lowest it has ever been in our history and by quite a large margin," he says.
"In the last four years it's absolutely plummeted and I don't think that trend is going to stop."
"The raw number of pass attempts right now is around 75 per cent per game. That is the highest since what used to be referred to as basketball on grass with Flutie and Austin. Basically all of our passing records date back to that time for yardage."
If there are two stats Daniel says fans should keep their eyes on to predict winners and losers for the rest of the season, it's the turnover ratio and second down conversion.
"Those are really two of the most important numbers," he says. "Numbers aren't everything but they do tell a story. I've confronted coaches who have confronted me. If you provide them with those numbers, it's surprising how much they use them." - http://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4270054
CFL News - #Ticats remain keenly interested in signing @JManziel2 and Manziel remains keenly interested in playing for Ticats - @ProFootballTalk #CFL
??Ticats say they aren't really shopping Collaros, Riders say they've been called. Stay tuned.
??Kevin Glenn says Regina has the loudest fans. Says that if he'd been asked that in Winnipeg…he'd lie. http://fw.to/oUKj9cU
Ryan Phillips - As I watched the Montreal vs Ottawa game I wonder how long this is gonna keep up? Same guys getting beat but they continue to play. ??smh
CFL News - #AlsMTL saddled w/ 35-year-old making reported $400K, and no reason to believe Drew Willy provides better option. - @HerbZurkowsky1 #CFL

Dave Dawson - The #Eskimos have 2 games vs #Calstampeders left, 1 IN Regina and 1 vs #Bombers. Boy, at this rate could they finish 5th in West?
??Stupid Headline - MASSIVE FALLOUT FROM LABOUR DAY CLASSIC 2017 rodpedersen.com/2017/09/massiv… via rodpedersen
Randy Turner - I'm beginning to think Riders fans believe Gainer is an actual giant gopher. You know, as opposed to a human being wearing a costume.
??Really irritating…makes you want to spit - TSN cameras caught several of those injured Roughriders openly laughing and smiling while leaving the field after being examined by medical staff.
Dave Campbell - Average start position for the #Eskimos is the 29 yard line. 40 yard line for the Stampeders. #CFL
??Coming up next, highlights of the Bomber’s game on Sunday”…………………………….
??I know what I want for the Bomber’s defence…2000 lbs. That's right - one ton. One single ton. Is that asking for much?
Derek Taylor - Adarius Bowman targeted 7 times through 3 quarters. 3 catches for 23 yards. Tough slogging against that Calgary coverage.
??It's a Bomber fan’s hard task - to not be proud of the Bomber linebackers..it doesn't seem right.
Devin Heroux - The @CFL Commissioner is now delivering pizza slices to game day staff and journalists in the press box. This great Canadian game.
Derek Taylor. - Underplayed fact:
@UCLAkp7 has not missed a convert for the Bombers! I think it's up to 69 in a row!!!
Drew Edwards - For the first time this season, there is music in the #Ticats locker room after a game.
??Looks like the shift is on to feature Brandon Banks over Luke Tasker.
