Week 14     Bye- Edmonton 

David William @TSNDaveNaylor - Point of comparison between CFL rosters in Ottawa and Montreal. Number of players over 30 on active rosters: Montreal 20. Ottawa 3. #CFL

?‍?Average # of QB pressures Eskimos got in 7 wins: 12.7     In 5 losses: 7.6

Rick Zamperin - What a year - The Jones suspension, the Johnny Manziel rumours, the Art Briles disaster, the coaching changes, the 60-1 debacle in Calgary, Will Hill grabbing an official, Demond Washington spitting in the face of an opponent, and the 2-9 last place record.

Lowell Ullrich - Triple whammy for #bclions : Micah Awe, David Menard & Chris Rainey all fined by #CFL for hits in Calgary loss

Ed Tait - Since opening in 2013, Investors Group Field has drawn 1,149,565 fans to 41 home games – an average of 28,038.

?‍?This gif and the runner, represents the Eskimos 7-0 start, and the wham!

It's 

 

CFL.ca - Since 1970, seven Canadian quarterbacks have started a game: Eric Guthrie, Gerry Dattilio, Luc Tousignant, Greg Vavra, Bob Torrance, Giulio Caravatta and Brandon Bridge.

West Division Streak: Calgary has won 16 games in a row versus West Division teams. it's the longest divisional win streak. Toronto won 15 consecutive games in 1996-1997.

The longest pass play this season was from Mike Reilly to Vidal Hazelton for a 108-yard touchdown versus BC in Week 6.

Will Kevin Glenn get his 100th win against Calgary? Answer - NOPE

Roy Finch now has 1,009 punt return yards to become the first Stampeder in history to accumulate more than 1,000 punt return yards. The CFL record is 1,440 by Edmonton’s Henry ‘Gizmo’ Williams in 1991.

Brad Sinopoli leads the CFL with 36 second down conversion receptions. He is on pace for 50, which would break the CFL record set by Ben Cahoon at 45 in 2004.

Winnipeg is the only team this season to average more than 100 rushing yards a game (104.9).

?‍? Reportedly, this is the dance that O'Shea did for his team on his birthday...

Derek Taylor - To @HenryBurris's point, CFL teams don't abandon the run when behind until the 4Q--82% pass. Winning team drops to 54% pass in 4th.

?‍? The theory of Darvinism - as in who needs a flag to get a first down?

3downnation- The Bombers have a number of pending free agents to re-up before next season — Maurice Leggett, Stanley Bryant, Justin Medlock, Chris Randle, T.J. Heath, and Jamaal Westerman, among others — and Dressler could be the odd man out.  ?‍?YIKES!

It's been reported (3downnation) that Ian Wild could return next week?

Congratulations to former Blue Bomber and University of Manitoba product Teague Sherman on signing with Ottawa earlier today. Sherman is one of the CFL’s good guys — the league is a better place with him in it.

Blue Bomber Talk - #Lions loss reinforces what I wrote here: a #Bombers win next week over #Esks would essentially guarantee a home playoff game.

Drew Edwards - After missing two FG early, #Ticats Sergio Castillo took a motivational call from his girlfriend at halftime, then kicked the game winner.

CFL is calling it a fumbled snap by Coates. No convert attempted, so Medlock's perfect record in Winnipeg stays intact. 

- That'll be a sixth consecutive first quarter in which the #Als have failed to score a point.

#AlsMTL  outscored 132-17 in the first half the last 6 games. This says it all. No points, no wins #CFLGameDay

?‍?It's been revealed that the real reason for the Alouettes ineptitude is their desire to get the #1 draft pick. Possibly to trade it for a QB, whom they will later just release. ?

?‍?Jones? did a swearee on National TV. The swear jar is bursting…

?‍?The concession stands and washrooms must have been busy, busy, busy during that Calgary game at Mozaic, as the crowd was announced as a sellout. Strange though, because there were always empty seats….

CFL.ca - The Argonauts offence had a productive night on first down with 270 of their 328 yards coming in first down situations.

-LB Bear Woods recorded his 300th career tackle late in the second quarter and finished the game with eight tackles and a quarterback sack. Woods leads the Argos in defensive tackles with 74 on the season and has posted 6+ tackles in eight games. (?‍?This ex-Alouette guy.)

Lirim Hajrullahu connected on four field goals in the first half with a long of 39 yards. The Western product has now converted 36 field goals on the year and is on pace to break his single-season high of 40 set back in 2014 when he was a member of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

-The Argos defence wreaked havoc on Als Darian Durant on Saturday night, sacking the veteran QB four times and picked him off three times on the night.

?‍?Just want to remind TJ Thorpe that Timothy Flanders spent 9 weeks on the PR last year. Now look what he's doing…

?‍?So, were the Bombers right about picking up Darrin Adams when he was made available? Damned rights! I also seem to recall some were questioning his work ethics..

Matt Nichols said, in Tait’s article: “He’s a guy that I’ve been saying for a long time is the most-underrated receiver in the league,” said Nichols. “He just does so many dynamic things for us and has a big-play ability. Some of the catches he was making, very tough when it’s not raining let alone some of the conditions we had out there.”

Ian Hamilton- Roughriders, who lost their 10th straight regular-season game to Calgary.

The Roughriders had the ball 11 times with Glenn at the controls. Those possessions ended in eight punts, one interception, one failed third-down gamble and the halftime whistle.

?‍?Let's see, the Stamps get 5 FGs and that's good offensive power.  When the Bombers do it, they were ineffective and were lucky to have a good kicker…

?‍?Everybody spewing their views on whether Calgary’s Tunde Adeleke. led with his head, and why an initial penalty wasn't flagged, and yet, I've heard many different views on that hit. So, if an official misses the helmet contact because the tackler turned his shoulder and, in a fraction of a second, the guy is down, who really is in error there? The review got it right, there was helmet contact, but was it a penalty?

Bombers - “When the big boys see some rain, we think more running. We love it.”

?‍?Timothy Flanders just created a Bomber Fan for life with that little gesture of giving the ball to that little girl

Carter speak - Then I get a penalty for telling them to do their damn job!!! Every time we get that crew smh... same crew from Winnipeg....?‍?Yep, hired and paid for, Duron. :rolleyes:

?‍?Little bit of puffery from Charleston Hughes

"Just to be clear, (Saskatchewan's) offence didn't struggle today,'' Hughes said. "We completely shut it down.''

"Not only do we have the most dominant front four in the league, our backup defensive linemen are making just as many plays as the starters, and we had our way with (Saskatchewan) today,'' Hughes said after a dominant defensive showing on the Riders' home turf.

?‍?BLM has not lost to Saskatchewan in 8 tries..

the Stampeders did not record a major for the first time since Nov. 1, 2013 in a 26-7 loss to the BC Lions.

-Time of possession (36:10 to 23:50) and rushing attempts (28 to 12)

https://www.stampeders.com/2017/09/24/stamps-leave-riders-green-with-envy/

Bob Irving - Mike O'Shea tells his daily CJOB coaches show that Dressler will be out for a "couple of weeks for sure" with injury suffered vs Ott.

?‍?I expected to see a Mulumba signing in these past days off, and an announcement of such. Do you realize how much of a jolt of excitement that would bring about?

?‍?BL Mitchell continues to hold down #1 spot in the CFL's staff version of QB rankings, and that's fine and dandy, he's a good QB. But it does bring up the point that he plays for the Stampeders, who are a prime example of how an organization should be run. I mean, he gets credit for win streaks and Western wins, and tweeting toughness, and best winning percentage, but c'mon, he plays on a pretty good team.

Here's the CFL.Staff ratings: https://www.cfl.ca/2017/09/25/quarterback-index-less-mitchell-ray/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CflcaStaffCflca+(CFL.ca-+Staff++marquee%2CRead%2Cwriters%2CIndex%2CTSN)

Air conditioning issues for visitors earlier this year, sewer issues now...apparently tho I hear it was the whole facility...lack of water fountains....no HDTV around in concourse to watch game while not in your seat....this grand palace best in the country has it's own warts emerging. Just wait too, as I guarantee there will be seats galore being replaced as they are cheap cheap cheap...

not sure why that quote was added by the way

Rick  Zamperin reports on the Hamilton Tiger Cats.  The Jones he speaks of is Mike Jones, the receiver who was suspended for 2 games for a drug violation. The rest is all Hamilton stuff...
