The Blue Bombers are starting Max Hall at quarterback against the Tiger-Cats. I don't think that Guelph will have much trouble with Winnipeg, however I think everyone predicted an easy victory for the 'Cats over Joey Elliott last year around this time and we all saw what happened. Andy Fantuz returns to the lineup for the Tiger-Cats giving their receiving corps a boost.

I think Calgary will defeat British Columbia. It is true that the Lions are a much better team at home than they are on the road, but I think that the Stamps are simply playing great football right now and home-field advantage will be neutralized.

I'd like Montreal to defeat Saskatchewan (it isn't usual that I say that), but I don't really see it happening.

Expecting 40,000 at the game. Might be a watermelon shortage in fruit markets across Canada tomorrow.

[Will]

Well Winnipeg got the crap kicked out of them yesterday and not to my surprise.

[294life]

and with another win in guelph the tabbies will hit .500. they've suddenly become contenders in the east again. looks like austin's team is starting to come together nicely.

Of course, assuming that they win next week, three out of their four wins will be against Winnipeg. While I think that they are starting to come together, they need to beat some other teams before we can know for sure that they are.

[ArgoRavi]

Oh great, Rod Black is calling the Roughriders game.

[Will]

Oh great, Rod Black is calling the Roughriders game.

Thankfully I have RDS as a fall-back to work on my French language skills. I am surprised that Suitor isn't calling a Riders game!

[Will]

Does Calvillo miss that pass a few years ago?

[Deerkeeper]

Oh great, Rod Black is calling the Roughriders game.I accept the fact that people don't like Rod Black, but do we have to hear about it evey time he broadcasts a game. I think it's pretty much a given now.

[Deerkeeper]

Does Calvillo miss that pass a few years ago?He has lost something and I don't think it can all be blamed on Hawkins. I'm still not prepared to count Montreal out however.

[Will]

A defensive battle with it being 8-7 for the Roughriders at halftime. Of note, Anthony Calvillo, Brandon London and Josh Bourke have all been injured for the Alouettes.

[ArgoRavi]

You almost have to feel sorry for the Als as their players are dropping like flies. While you hate to see Calvillo leave the game - with what might be a concussion - I wonder if this isn't perhaps a bit of a blessing in disguise for Montreal in the sense that they need to see what their young QBs can do now as AC is unlikely to be back next year.

The one area of Montreal's game which I think is actually better this year is their defence and they are keeping them in this game. Tyrone Brackenridge should be fined heavily, if not suspended, for that helmet to helmet hit on Brandon London IMO. That is the kind of hit that must be taken out of the game and I am surprised that Forde and Black did not speak out against that hit. Yeah, I know it is the popular Riders but they can be criticized.

[Will]

You also got to feel a little bit for Rob Bagg. The guy can't seem to catch a break injury-wise.

[ArgoRavi]

You also got to feel a little bit for Rob Bagg. The guy can't seem to catch a break injury-wise.

Yes, if he is hurt as badly as he thinks that he is, his career may very well be over.

[Deerkeeper]

Boy, the Als can't even buy one in the red zone. At least they have the lead.

[Will]

Neiswander was fortunate that his pass before the FG wasn't intercepted.

[Rocket]

I accept the fact that people don't like Rod Black, but do we have to hear about it evey time he broadcasts a game. I think it's pretty much a given now.

Rod black has to be fired!

[Rocket]

Boy, the Als can't even buy one in the red zone. At least they have the lead.

Mtl should have went on it on 3rd down at the goal line.

[Will]

What the hell did Durant just do?

[Deerkeeper]

This has not been a pretty football game, has it.

[Will]

This has not been a pretty football game, has it.

Not in the slightest. The Alouettes just conceded a safety to tie the game at 11 with 2:28 left in the 3rd.

[Will]

Wow S.J Green fumbles on one drive and the Durant fumbles on the subsequent drive leading to the Als go-ahead TD. This game is bloody ugly folks!

[Deerkeeper]

Had a feeling the Als defence would win this game. Now if they
can just hold them for the last few minutes.

Spoke to soon. They couldn't hold them.

[Will]

...and then that just happened.

[ArgoRavi]

KCargosFan talked about Geoff Tisdale not being a good cover man before and Tisdale, in part, costs the Als the game today. The Riders should consider themselves very fortunate to come out on top today.

[ArgoRavi]

Had a feeling the Als defence would win this game. Now if they
can just hold them for the last few minutes.

Spoke to soon. They couldn't hold them.

How can a defence play so well for 58 and a half minutes and then give up a play like that?

[Will]

How can a defence play so well for 58 and a half minutes and then give up a play like that?

The only thing I can answer with is CFL, Ravi, CFL!

[Will]

What exactly are the Lions wearing?

[Deerkeeper]

What exactly are the Lions wearing?The problem with those flat black helments is that they scuff to easily.
Great return by Brown.

[LLB997]

What exactly are the Lions wearing? not sure, it looks like someone puked out carrot juice on a seattle seahawks uniform.

[Argo57]

Should just stick with their normal uniforms, tonights look like crap!

[294life]

Thankfully I have RDS as a fall-back to work on my French language skills. I am surprised that Suitor isn't calling a Riders game!

l'attaque pue means the offence stinks. french lesson for the day

[294life]

Does Calvillo miss that pass a few years ago?

nope. his streak ends at 23 games. wouldn't be surprised to hear him call it quits this week.
