CFL FINALS CHAT - Als/TiCats & Lions/Riders

[ArgoRavi]

More heartbreak for the Ticats and I am good with that.

[Scooter McCray]

Is anyone starting to feel bad for Les Tigres du Hamilton?

[OV Argo]

Ha, ha Pussycats - looks good on Scotty M, Bovine and superstar Kenny Lawlor.

[ARGO57]

The Mike Benevides BC Lions bend and completely break D strikes again.
Two entertaining games today!

[OV Argo]

2 very exciting down to the wire CFL finals; but the game needs big "changes" - or so i have read from some geniuses.

Ex-Argo Tommy Nield pulls thru for the Riders; wish he was still an Argo, but mind you he had "regressed" here.

I wouldn't take Nield over any of the Argos' current receivers. He's a decent player but I would take Coxie, Herslow, Brissett, Mital, Ungerer, and Daniels over Nield.

both Finals decided in the final 20 seconds, such great entertainment.

Als with 21 seconds left count it down to 2 seconds and boot the winning 3 points.
Riders march down the field (Trevor is so good) and score winning TD with 11 seconds left.
Wow just Wow. Love the CFL product man, it's the best.
Watched a lot of US college ball and a lot of NFL lately, but I still like CFL the most.
Can only hope for a great Grey Cup, which we should get unless the Als have to go with MBT

He went from 32 receptions in nine games, 12.0 y/catch to 21 in 11 games, 9.6. Any way you slice it, that's regression. Too bad everyone else didn't know what you did, I guess.

The team? Absolutely not.

Some of the fans? Yes.

You do get that a receiver's stats are mostly determined by his role in the offence and the number of targets he gets ?

Just like a RB is only going to put up some yardage if he gets some carries to touch the ball ?

I get great kicks out of some football commentators citing player stats for back-ups who barely play on offence or D as some sort of definitive take on the player's ability: "player X only had 3 tackles all year - look, he's useless", when the guy only played 5 snaps on D all year... hope you grasp this concept about playing time opportunity.

And I guess Cory Mace didn't see what you did with Nield, since he signed him for his Riders 1st place team and gives him significant playing time as a receiver.
