@: #Ticats slotback Terrell Sinkfield won't play tomorrow. #CFL

CFL Game Notes-

Last play FG to win: Medlock’s 47-yard FG on the last play was the 7th time that a walk-off (absolute last play) field goal has ended a playoff game in league history back to 1936.

William Powell: Started the final 4 games and had a major impact. Powell rushed for 392 yards on 66 carries (13 runs of 10+ yards) - #1 in the CFL over the final 4 weeks of the season (#2: Tyrell Sutton with 373). The REDBLACKS won all four games that he started and Powell added 12 catches for 102 yards in that span.

Ottawa 12 wins: The REDBLACKS broke the all-time Ottawa wins record with their 12-6 mark going one better than the 11-5 Rough Riders in 1978. They finished above .500 on the road (5-4) for the first time in 20 seasons (1983: 5-3 Rough Riders).

The matchup at starting QB has Ottawa’s Henry Burris bring 233 total regular season & playoff starts (119-111-3) against Jeremiah Masoli’s two career starts, one last season at Calgary, and the other the playoff game last week versus Toronto.

Hamilton defensive TDs: The 8 scores by the Hamilton defence is second-highest ever by the Ticats and two short of their club record of 10 in 1971.

Trying for 3 in a row: The last time that Hamilton won three consecutive East Division playoff titles was 1984 to 1986. They went on to the Grey Cup and won one of the three opportunities.

Hamilton recent on the road: The Ticats have lost their last two road games in Ottawa (44-28) and BC (40-13) so by a combined score of 84-41.

Hamilton QB sacks: In their 10 wins, Hamilton had 28 QB sacks; in their 8 defeats they recorded just 10 sacks.

4 wins a row: The REDBLACKS have now won 4 straight games – the last Ottawa team to win 4 games in a row before that was back in 1991 (Aug 8-29/91) after an 0-4 start to reach 4-4.

Ticat Turnover Ratio (+28 vs -13): Hamilton has a +28 Turnover Ratio in their 10 wins, and are -13 in their 7 losses in 2015. They have gone -5 over their last two games.

Four at 1,000 yards: Ottawa had four receivers over 1,000 yards this season: Chris Williams (#3, 1,214), Greg Ellingson (#7, 1,061), Ernest Jackson (#9, 1,036) and Brad Sinopoli (#11, 1,035). Ellingson made 20 catches for 355 yards over the final 4 games to make into the 1000-yard group. Ottawa had NEVER before had even three 1,000-yard receivers in the same season.

Ottawa Offence: In their 12 wins, Ottawa averaged 433 yards of net offence; in their 6 losses they averaged over 140 less yards per game at 292 per game.

81.8% pick of MBB pick....Ottawa to win.

good game

Impressed so far with the RB's new running back Powell, he must be another graduate from "Dime a Dozen U".   McManus ought to pay that place a visit someday.

Didn't know the Ti-Cats picked up Mitchell Gale.  Just goes to show the smart get stronger and the dumb stick with Brohm.

They only signed him after the last regular season game when Matthews got hurt. It was done out of necessity, not strategy.

The Bombers wouldn't recognize necessity if it kicked them in the ass.

Ouch!

What a catch by Ellingson.

What a catch by Tasker. 

Tasker making his mark, good game right down to the wire.

Ellingson! TD!

Wow. Thats all I gotta say lol

Ellingson! TD!

 

D backs screwed up, no way should that have been a reception never mind a TD.

What was Gainey doing on that coverage? Brutal.

2-25 and you only rush 3 , you deserve what you get

And the Ottawa RedBlack fairy tale continues for another week.

Good for the GC game imo, Ottawa will bring a lot more attention and fans to Wpg. than the Ti-Cats on their 3rd visit in 3 years.

1st Ottawa was going to win,

then Hamilton looked to have it in the bag,

then a Milt-like play for the RedBlacks.

Damn good game.

No matter who you were cheering for, it was a helluva game and just what the CFL East needed.

Great game, very happy for Ottawa fans actually. 1976 is a lot longer to wait than 1990, although they haven't got the Cup yet ...

Congrats to Rick Campbell and his team. 

...I knew there was a reason I wanted us to pick up Ellingson in fa....Congrats to the RBs' on reaching the Cup in 2 while we stagger around still looking for a sniff..CFL is really a strange game indeed.

Great play by Ellingston.

And now for the west, I hope this is a good one too

That's half my picks through to the Grey Cup. Now I need Edmonton to beat Calgary.

More money too. Federal employee bucks!

Least they were smart and let a bad franchise die for a while.
