Mr Dee Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Ottawa are 8-5 this year. Last year, at this point, they were 2-11. They are actually battling for 1st place now and they want to beat the Argos…badly, or any way. They've already lost 2 games to Toronto 30-24, and 35-26, but both those games featured tons of penalties on the RedBlacks part. 20 penalties for 228 in the 1st game and 18 for 165 in the second. Now, however Ottawa is confident and Burris is hot. Predictions anyone? I'll take Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Do fans like Tuesday night games? 9 team league, I think they needed at least one of these weeks where there are 5 games to make the schedule work. So there really isn't much of a choice. It may also have to do with Rogers Centre scheduling, so Toronto plays this Tuesday then next Monday.

Rod Black Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Do fans like Tuesday night games? Doing without for a couple o' nights wouldn't hurt. Some kind of football six days this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J5V Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 How does Toronto find 3 (The Big Three) first-year receivers like Gurly, Hazelton, and Elliot? These guys are on pace for 9 TDs EACH! And that's without Ricky Ray chucking the ball to them. Compare that to our supposed best receiver, Nick Moore, and his 1 TD a season pace.

Rod Black Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 There are two penalties against the Argos, that seem very questionable to me. As Laing is rasseling with Burris to bring him down, the whistle bows and a fraction later, Burris is down. Laing gets flagged, flips out and removes his helmet, Laing is flagged again. Milanovich clearly lips"f ****** idiot". Don't know who Milanovich is angry at, but that first penalty was no doubt called to protect a qb's in the grasp, but Burris was continuing an attempt to escape. Second penalty, TO's Hazelton loses the ball after a catch, picked up by Ottawa, and the play is blown dead. The Ottawa defender, continues running around with the ball and Whtaker steps in front of him and the Ottawa chap then stops. Whitaker gets Flagged 15 yards for rough play. Oh, now TO has to review an incomplete pass to get a p.i. call. CFL needs professional refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Fanitage Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Play of the year...unless of course CFL fans vote it in. Then I am sure Jerome Messam has a three yard run off tackle that will win. HardCoreBlue, SPuDS and Bigblue204 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyWinnipeg Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Ottawa are 8-5 this year. Last year, at this point, they were 2-11. Makes you want to kill this franchise and start new does it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 If Burris got hurt the Redblacks would be awful. CFL is all about the healthy QB. Sounds like he got banged up a bit. But sounds like he's healthy enough to play next week. Ottawa is 1 Burris injury from being awful. They really are. Their backups are brohm and Marve awful.

SPuDS Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Burris is definitely peaking at the right time.. If he stays healthy and doesnt drift back to hank too often, he and the redblacks could do damage in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Looked like Burris got his hand banged up in that last play...and I think Jeramiah Johnson most likely is done for awhile...IF that is the case Ottawa just took a big hit .. Injuries to other clubs catching up....Hate to see it at the best of times but sadly a part of the game...We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBURGESS Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 That was a great football game. 7 or was it 8 lead changes. Went down to the wire. On the edge of my seat for most of the game. Some suspect reffing. Some great catches. Even some good defence at times. I wish the CFL could be like that all the time. kelownabomberfan, MOBomberFan, Bigblue204 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We talk about protecting the QB's, which is good, but now we're going to have defensive players not playing full speed, which is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 They sold the game to Redblacks so they will get a cash payment and Redblacks will get any money they bring in for the game. Actually the teams will spilts revenues and expenses. The game wasn't "sold" for a set fee. http://ottawacitizen.com/sports/football/cfl/redblacks-argos-to-split-revenue-and-costs-of-relocated-cfl-game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you implying that they're better simply because they're catching more touchdowns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
