Gamethread for all the non-bomber games.

 

The bomber game'll have it's own thread, but I can't wait guys cuz the action is back and it all starts off again TONIGHT at 7:30.

 

Go Big Blue.

 

I wonder how the big physical DB's of the Eskimos adapt to the new rules if any team will struggle with that early it will be them.

 I figure Montreal is in trouble for this, besides leading in very deserved pass interference penalties how many times have we heard "Chip Cox got away with one there..."

 

 

Only when Duane Forde is talking.

 

Stoked to crack a beer and watch some football tonight. Doesn't matter who plays or if it's a good game or not, football is back baby!

I always find it so disconcerting when you post with such a positive attitude.

 

Why I'm positive far more often than I'm negative. If you have different perception might I suggest being wrong less often so I don't have to correct as much?

Here's my pre-game report on Ottawa - based on comments from Santino Filoso (Defending the R source - and it ain't Kirk Penton)

Funny, weird or right on predictions?

- Ottawa will be 7-11 and make the playoffs and win a playoff game

- they will have a new kicker before the end of the year.

- the RedBlacks will lead the East Division in interceptions.

- Justin Capicciotti and Marlon Smith will both have double digit sack seasons.

- Antoine Pruneau will make 70+ tackles, have 5 sacks, force 5 fumbles and make 5 interceptions.

- Ernest Jackson will lead the team in receptions, yards and touchdowns.

- Jeremiah Johnson will be the feature back by Week 5.

- Henry Burris will turn back the clock and throw for 5000 yards and 30 TDs

- The Redblacks will have a top 3 offence.

Montreal pre-game report:

Crompton has cut his hair!!

That is all.

One guy I'm going to be watching is Jonathan Hefney.  He's been shipped around a bit since leaving here and I'm wondering if the Als got it right bringing him in.  Obviously they wanted an upgrade over Tisdale, I'm not so sure he's it though.

Thought I saw Hef on the 1G IR, but I could be wrong.......

Nope but there are 4 suspended players among whom are Michael Sams and Chad Ochocinco.

What's the deal with Ocho? I figured he'd be cut, but leaving him on the suspended list seems kind of odd.

I see TSN is adamant in continuing the very annoying practice of interviewing somebody during the course of a game.

I absolutely hate that.

Yes that's the worst.

2 worst teams in the league playing in a stadium that would be sub par for high school football in Texas.

Henry Burris is terrible.

It's over

Hefney looks like he's rediscovered how to play football.

...and Burris is terrible.

8/15 for 92 yards and 2 picks...

Dude can't extend the play with his feet anymore... Over

Can't drink rye fast enough to drown out Rod Black...boom boom Bede...good lord...

You don't want to have a boom boom in the bede.    

Stop yelling Henry.

Montreal down to third string in Game 1. Yikes.

If this is going to be the style of football the CFL is going to offer this year, we are not in for a good season. At all.

Bridge going in though ... wowza

There was a penalty called apparently. Don't know what it was though as it sounded like Spanish or some other language.

There hasn't been this much nylon on a field since D-day in Normandy in 1944.

I fear the rest of the season we will have to listen to Rod Black go on about Air Canada. There isn't enough rye...
