Zontar Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 So often people can be guilty of over simplifying a game. But Swayze making at least one makeable FG in second half and Argos win. simple as that. Argo fans will wring hands over Ray or Creehan etc. but Swayze's whiffs cost them the game.

Zontar Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Semi finals are not guranteed good draws. Been that way for years across league but every year a media type flips his wig like its its an alarming new trend thats come out of the blue. Sun's Mitchell carries on the tradition I guess. blueandgoldguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandgoldguy Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 sorry, blueandgodguy I meant Calgary over B.C.. ps broncos game first 8 possessions 3 int 5 punts.... manning benched. must be a first. Ok, I thought you were talking about the east semi-final. My mistake. Manning looks to be done at this point. Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For back-to back semis in 2002 and 2003, the Bombers drew 22,000 - 23,000. For the 2007 semi-final Bombers drew 23,000. BC, Edmonton and Calgary have never been know to draw great crowds for semi-finals either. Sasky was 3000 short of a sellout in 2013 for the semi.

Mr Dee Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 I don't know why you guys who love to watch NFL football have to come on here and rag on the league that I enjoy watching. Watch your football and let me watch mine. I don't care how superior you think it is, why do you feel the need to tell me about it? All I can say is, if you don't like the caliber of play in the CFL as opposed to the magnificent NFL, then why watch the CFL? To each his own.

Tracker Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Not only that, they're going to win it. wish the Bombers could get a player like 97 Hamilton. If #97 Hamilton is Ted Laurent, we did have him at one time. No we didn't... If memory serves, we drafted him but traded him to Edmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't crank ticket prices up in Calgary though. Tonnes of $35 - $45 tickets available too which is the same price those seats sell for in the regular season. If teams choose not to sell playoff games as part of their regular season packages, which I believe Calgary does not do, then it will be tough to sell 35,000 individual tickets for semi-final games. The best the league will do is move the season up one more week so the first week of the regular season does not overlap with the final week of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Another factor is the draft. The league will not move the season up any earlier than mid-June (late-May for training camp) due to the NFL and CFL draft. People need to accept this. If by some crazy chance we see a 10th team in the CFL, the Grey Cup will happen an additional week earlier in mid-November. Here's hoping...
