17to85 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. I don't understand this. Are you implying that they're better simply because they're catching more touchdowns? Don't you know? Touchdowns are the only stat that matters when it comes to receivers.

All three look to be terrific players that can really produce in the red zone. I would like to see Walters start bringing in some talent just like them.

Mr Dee Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 CFL Notes And Trends - - 3rd down successful gambles are down this year so far... - Week #15 contests averaged 53.0 points per game, the 4th consecutive week that scoring has increased over the previous 4-game set. Scoring was consistent across all four games. Net offence average 733 yards per game, the second- highest average of the 2015 season to date. - Week #15 averaged 22.8 penalties reducing the season average to 24.3 per game, the lowest it has been all year. Over the last 15 CFL games, penalty totals have averaged only 22 per game in what has been a year-long downward trend. - With their loss last week, the Alouettes (5-8) are now two and half games behind Toronto (7-5) but have a huge game head-to-head against the Argos to end Week #16. The Als’ current run of 19 consecutive years in the playoffs is the second-longest in league history and only Edmonton at 34 years in a row (1972-2005) has a longer one. - On the 32 yard converts - Of late, kickers have dropped off yet again. In the last 7 games, CFL kickers have missed SIX times going just 22-of-28 and at least one has been missed in 16 of the most recent 32 games. For the season, the overall result is now at 212-of-245, 86.5%. - The rule change for limiting downfield coverage on punts is having its effect as the season goes along. Eight players are averaging 10 or more yards per attempt led by Chad Owens at 15.6 yards per try. The average punt return in 2015 through Week #15 was up a full yard at 10.3 compared to 9.3 in 2014, an increase of 11%. - How about rubbing in our loss a little more against Edmonton? Edmonton’s Sean Whyte made his under field goal of 53 yards, a distance from which he had never been successful before then. The only longer attempt Whyte had ever tried before came on Jul 27/12 against Toronto – that too being a last-play attempt and trailing 20-23. That one was from 54 yards and fell one yard short. Whyte is 10-of-11 overall in 2015. - Troy Stoudermire of Winnipeg returned a punt 78 yards for a TD for his first of the season joining Brandon Banks who extended his lead in that category with a fourth punt return touchdown. That raised the number of total kick return TDs to 13 in 2015, 12 of which have been punts. That makes the most in one season since 2005 (13). - Surviving Turnovers -This season it seems that CFL clubs are finding ways to win in games where they commit more giveaways. Last season only 12 games were won by clubs making more than the opposition, only 17% of the games overall (12-59 .169). In 2015, 12 clubs have already won when giving the ball away more than their opponent (12-39. 235), and this is led by Calgary and Ottawa. Calgary has won 4 times and Ottawa 3 times with more turnovers, and this was the case in each of their Week #15 wins. - Defensive TDs and Blocked Kicks - There was just one made last week but it raised the total to 31 in 2015, one less than all of last year. In 2015 the blocked kick total is now up to 13 with Hamilton and Saskatchewan at 4 apiece. The Riders blocked TWO kicks in their game at BC Place last week (Knox: convert and Monroe: punt). It was the first time in over 6 years that a club had blocked two kicks in the same game (BC had two on July 3, 2009). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueandgoldguy Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 The league is looking at expanding instant replay. Super, now we can enjoy 3.5 hour games with inconsistent and puzzling calls even with the benefit of instant replay. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl-considering-greater-use-of-video-replay-1.373835 The league is also looking at more rule changes including this humdinger sent in by a fan A more radical concept the league is looking at is changing the parameters of play inside the red zone. The concept would force teams to go for a first down or more on third down inside the 20-yard line. For example, Team A is faced with a third down and two yards to go on the opposition’s 17-yard line. Under the proposed change, the option to kick on third down would be removed. Team A would have to attempt to get a first down or more. If a first down was not made, the team would then be given a chance to kick from a “difficult distance,” such as the 40-yard line. The proposal was submitted by a fan and the league is giving it a look, although it doesn’t appear to have much support at this stage. That sounds more gimmicky than anything from the arena league or the XFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Sask. at Hamilton - Game Notes - The Tiger-Cats come into this game with their first two-game losing streak of the year. - The Ti-Cats lost last week in the game after losing their #1 QB. That is the sixth such game across the CFL where a club lost their #1 – Edmonton and Montreal won the next week, while BC, Hamilton, Saskatchewan and Winnipeg lost. Last week’s start by Jeff Mathews broke a run of 23 straight starts by Zach Collaros (Hamilton went 16-7). - The Riders have not yet been eliminated but require help and a 4-game win streak. Mathematically, 16 games involve their playoff fate and 15 must go in their favour. BC must lose all five, Winnipeg must beat BC this week and lose their other games, the Riders must go 4-0, and Montreal must lose 4 of their 5 games - Last week’s #2 Riders QB, Brett Smith, came off the bench last week at BC and led three late drives. He engineered a TD drive and 111 yards of offence in the final 12:509 of the game. His record as a starter in 2015 is 1-5. - Weston Dressler - Over the last 4 games he has made more than 3 catches only once with totals of 12 receptions for just 94 yards and no TDs. He had 20 catches for 320 yards in his first 3 games of 2015, and only 29 for 270 yards in his last 8 games. - If Kevin Glenn starts this game for Saskatchewan it will be his 22nd career start against Hamilton and he has gone 14-7 thus far. That his best career record against any opponent among his 90-87-1 overall record as a starter. Glenn has generated more offence than any CFL QB this year on a per possession basis at 32.3 yards. - Last year Hamilton went 7-2 after the halfway point, this year they are 2-2 after a 6-3 first half. - The Ti-Cats have now started four different players at running back beginning with Ray Holley and moving on to injured #1 C.J. Gable, Nic Grigsby and last week Michael Ford in his return to the club. Overall, Hamilton has started 44 different players in 2015 including 8 offensive linemen. - Jerome Messam - Heading into this week, he trailed BC’s Andrew Harris (819) by just one yard in the rushing race. Messam had 42 yards last week and with 30 rushes of 10+ yards is 9 ahead of Harris in that stat category. - Justin Medlock - Ranks #2 this season at 88.2% on 30-of-34 FG attempts, but in his career he is the #1 all-time leader at 87.2% (min, 140 attempts). From 40 yards and in during 2015 he is a perfect 19-of-19. He leads the CFL in scoring with 137 points. - Ray Early - Has climbed up to #3 in the CFL at 45.1 yards per punt and #2 in net punting at 37.6 yards. He has 23 punts of 50+ yards this year. - The Riders blocked TWO kicks in their game at BC Place last week (Knox: convert and Monroe: punt). It was the first time in over 6 years that a club had blocked two kicks in the same game (BC had two on July 3, 2009). - Over the season’s first 11 games, the Tiger-Cats were +22 in the Turnover department. Over their last two games they have gone -7. Despite that, Hamilton leads the CFL by far at +15. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zontar Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Surprised not more Priders are outraged how the team pulled the chute before second half. Disgusting when pro athletes quit on a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
