I shall hope this game is better than the BC Ottawa fail game last week.  But the funny thing is, as bad as the Als have been this year, their games do seem to provide outlets for CFL fans to spew out funny criticisms of their franchise.

 

The question now is, is Crompton indeed the future of this team?  And if the Als go on a win streak to win the East (which predicting this would be premature atm, but could happen), do they extend Higgins longterm for that?

 

Crazy how stories can turn about in a hurry.

 

And as for the poll, I had to put it in for the night.

Why does the no option have to be because of Lapolice?

Well, his coaches book segments are interesting to watch aren't they?  Usually he does these on Friday night games and critiquing the Als is pretty good coming from him.

Wouldn't be a TSN broadcast without them hyping the rider fanbase.

USABF. No disrespect intended but who cares?

His segments are fine. I'm just saying there are other options as to why someone would say no.

Never really noticed if Montreal plays more on Friday then other teams. And it doesn't really matter to me if the Bombers do or not.

6-3 really?

I just threw the poll in for fun.  Anyway, back to the game.

Or 6-6 at half. Yikes. I think Edmonton is over rated.

2 good defenses ... Not too surprised.

I'm with Climie on this (lol that's a first) - Outside of Winnipeg, Calgary and Saskatchewan, the offences have been terrible this year.

Thank god we are finally in the good offence category not the dreadful category.

Offence is good. Special teams and defence.....not so good. ugh. Why can't we have two of three in the good category?

So far Dinwiddie has called a poor game ,   Reilly is going to get himself hurt sooner then later,  Willis with a dumb penalty and a whole lot of throwing the ball to Bowman and him catching about half of them.  

 

Lots of drops by him...

Been a bit of a crapfest in the league in general, but least we still got 1 more quarter to go

Boom!

I had a feeling one of those drives Duron C would show up.

Both Hamilton and Montreal defences seem to be vastly improved in the last few weeks. 

Wtf

Yup, that was a crazy series of events.

 

But as usual, here we have it, 2nd half als showing up again.

Pretty sure the als would be 7-2 if they only played 3 Qs of ball.

Good grief how do you get beat that badly on a draw play on 2nd and 15?

Why does Edmonton only have like two fans standing after a big play?!?!

I hate when coaches punt away when down by 10 late in 4th quarters.  Because this is what always happens.

Hope both Marcel and Etch are watching this 'cause the running game is alive and well in the CFL.  EE is approaching 200 yds. rushing.

Well, I think if you're an Als fan, you gotta be overall pretty pleased with what you see out of Crompton.  I admit I even doubted the guy at first, but amidst the ashes of 2014, he's a guy who has some good authoritative throws, and just get those receivers where their supposed to be and I think the O could click.

 

I'll still stand by my earlier thread though that Higgins and his staff will be gone at the end of the year, and Noel Thorpe will get promoted to head coach.
