CFL Game Notes

Edited September 16, 20196 yr by Mr Dee

LEST WE FORGET.........

James Johnson (??) "intercepts" a ball that skipped off the turf and returned it for a TD........that was the difference in the game.

I prefer this memory;

 

Much better memory..... no reason to remember anything green...

His rookie deal would be at least two, possibly three, years... someone else posted (sorry I forget who it was) that they met Oliveira and he said he’s healthy and ready to go...

He was rumored to be close to returning to practice a few weeks before the end of the season but we never heard more. I would suspect he will be but only time will tell. 

hey...did you know we won the grey cup 27 days ago....and Riders a little over 2100 days ago??...case we all forgot hahahaha

They fall into a tie with the Toronto Varsity Blues (4) but the Hamilton Tigers (5). They're just ahead of the Queen's University (3), the Toronto Balmy Beach (2), and the Sarnia Imperials (2).

The Hamilton Tigers were merged with the Ti-Cats in 1950 due to financial issues, I think it's only fair to merge them with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats

Is this a prediction for the year of the next riders grey cup?... seems accurate 

Did You Know...

...that Winnipeg hosted a pre-season NFL football game in 2019?
And hardly anybody knew?

Does anybody remember?
Let’s hope there’s a 28 drought before we host another one..

They aren't even thinking about when their next cup may come...... right now they are too busy on riderfans arguing about mustard or ketchup on corn dogs.

By that time they will almost have as many GC wins as the Bombers do now.

Did You Know...
 

The Bombers took a big-time swing at upgrading their receiving corps in free agency and were among the highest bidders for the likes of Derrell Walker, Greg Ellingson and DeVier Posey before that trio instead settled on new homes in Toronto, Edmonton and Montreal, respectively. 👁‍🗨 (And have since regretted it)

This year the Bombers don’t play more than two consecutive games against either division.

The Bombers face the Stampeders and Eskimos three times, and will play every other team twice.

 

 

 

Did You Know..

The Tiger-Cats have yet to sign any pending free agents to new contracts, and the list is full of star power and playmakers.
31 players.  
As opposed to the Bombers’ 20 

And Derek Taylor had rated Hamilton 1st in the way too early 2020 power rankings. (And the Bombers 8th)

Umm you're stretching a bit now...  Filer, Addison, Tasker, Williams are probably the only must haves

Everyone is waiting on QBs and NFL tryouts...

Derek Taylor had an accident and suffered a brain injury and coupled with drinking that funky water in Regina- He has become a prolific seducer of sheep and other mid-sized quadrapeds.
