SPuDS Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Very good synopsis as usual jbr. Thought everything was right bang on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Just gonna say that a short training camp & exhibition season gave us some really bad games this past weekend. The Argos, Als & Ticats looked totally unprepared for their games. Not good trying to sell the games to the casual fans watching on TSN. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Casual fans won't really know the difference between a well played game or a sloppy game. For the most part, they will only care if their team won or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't all teams get the same amount of time to prepare? Why did some teams look prepared and others not so much? Says more about the coaching staffs than the league in general.

KptKrunch Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 It was typical CFL football for me. It's what I say all the time about it - I still love the game though. Don't forget, the NFL has what, a 2 month training camp. They bring in the wanna be's about two weeks before the regulars and work them out hard - then decide who's good enough to go to the main camp, they they have another two weeks of camp I think before their first pre-season game, then they play four (five if you're in the hall of fame game) so by game one the team is pretty much in mid-season form. But, when your league makes BILLIONS of dollars, you can do that. I'd like to see the CFL in a middle ground. I've always wanted THREE preseason games, with one extra week of TC - that extra game should be held in a non-traditional market. For instance, next year the Eskimos will be playing a pre-season game in a newly built stadium in Fort McMurray. To me, this is a great idea, and should be explored for everyone WPG could play in Brandon, Sask could play one in Saskatoon B.C one in the interior, etc. Switch it out every year in terms of what side of the country it's played in, then maybe for week one of the season we'd see some decent football Winnipeg and Saskatchewan were the two best teams, Edmonton and Calgary were ok, B.C. wasn't bad, the rest stunk. blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 The weather definitely played a role in calgary and sask though. Not sure why it didn't really hurt the home teams but it sure did the road teams, perhaps someone in calgary and regina could tell us if the weather was like that for the entire week? I didn't think the games were that bad, just thought a couple teams (montreal and hamilton) sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I think when they mentioned Saskatchewan's reign as CFL Champs, what we saw on Sunday, was not what they meant. Basically a write-off for a game, although one team was able to cope and the other? well that was Hamilton. Anthony Allen wrenched that game away from Hamilton with the help of the O-Line boys and that swarming defence 10 sacks! What a jump in the lead in the sack race! Gotta love that post game question to Austin : What's your mood after this game?………..Followed by a stunned expression by Austin then "What's my mood?" a slight chuckle, a look of exasperation, then "What's the next question?" grimace. Best game? Easy - Bombers vs Toronto….by the Bombers, an all around good effort (save for the STs) Biggest surprise? same game Poorest performance? Montreal QB opposites - Drew Willy to Troy Smith Most ignorant on field play - Hiebert's hit on Cornish Most ignorant off field play - Kory Banks Noticed players - Drew Willy/ Aaron Kelly/ Nic Grigsby/ Kuale/ Vega/ Leggett/Adarious Bowman(drat)/ Mike Reilly(Buono's non-choice) /Joe Burnett/ Grymes/Kevin Glenn(wrong reasons)/Allen****Knapp BTW, Mike Reilly got credit for one tackle…..as many as the invisible Marcus Howard. And the award for best throwing over the weekend? To the Refs - for the flags 17-148 Ham 11-97 Sask 22-163 Tor 7-72 Wpg 12-120 Mont 12-129 Calg 13-93 Edm 7-40 BC Total 101 − 862 avg. 25 penalties for 4 games ……Yikes. blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Hey guys, dont think this deserves its own thread, so I'll put it here.... Was Zach Anderson told to bulk up for NT? or i the website just wrong? it's listing him at 295.... If he is that big, thats like 17-18 pounds in one off season. Theres no way thats all Muscle. I bet its slowed him down a little... I bet he's running like a 4.8 now!!! LOL BTW, great read JBR, always enjoy your stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
