Around The League Playoff Discussion

[M.O.A.B.]

BC will have a chance to win the game by 1 pt on McCallum FG. He miss and the Bombers win. 

The next day McCallum found lots of dog poo on his lawn and get a lot of phone calls from his clients pulling out their deals.

I hate it when clients pull out their deals.

For me its the Esk's not winning that is important.  They are the only team in the league that I hate. I would like to see the Stamps out also, they have won enough, but honestly don't see anyone beating them this year. As for you guys, get after it. Let's bring that cup back to the prairies where it belongs. Defence wins championships. I'll be cheering for you this weekend. Good luck to you guys.

Time for the CFL to save money writing new apologies and just invest in a rubber stamp with a blank line for the team name.

#CFL vice president of football Glen Johnson said Wednesday the calls “do not meet the standard” set by the league. - @scratchingpost
?‍?This is highly distressing news. Two bad calls - same review - in a playoff game?
And...Jeff Harbin was the same replay official who blew both game changing calls against #Ticats in 2 seperate instances. #CFL
And...Who was responsible for Harbin being the replay official in booth BOTH times? Especially after Harbin blew the game vs. #Redblacks. #CFL

Wow, do they need to review the review process, and maybe not ever have this Harbin guy do review calls again.

Coombs would be the only one I'd like...

[MOBomberFan]

I like Diontae Spencer, but we've got our fair share of 5'7 and 5'8 receivers as it is. Cory Greenwood is a beast of a National LB, but why would he leave Ontario...

Money and fans who actually care about their team?

Greenwood is too much of a health concern. Has had concussion problems in the past.

Love me some Terrence Toliver at 6'5. Especially if we lose either Gurley or Adams.

[rebusrankin]

Isn't there speculation that Toliver is going to try for the NFL? Believe he's only 25.

great skill set, right pass port, but hes never lived up the hype or stayed healthy. Will probably still bring a premium pay day in too.

kyler elsworth would be a good addition. Made a bunch of plays in MTL in TO mostly played teams, where he was very good. Llevi noel and james yurichuk 2 nucks who are also  good teamers. I Like llevi noels skill set too. Hes be a great sleeper pick up. His contribution over all compared to some one like addison richards would be a strong upgrade. 

I might take a gamble on johnny aprile at this point our NI wrs should be real un comfortable. Id bring in as many as possible to push and try to find some thing.

Maybe louis richardson if we wanted to have a chance for trent corney to start.

Other then that it never hurts to bring in a vet NI OL on the cheap.

If true, even with Ottawa making it into the big game, attendance for this game is going to be a disaster.  Toronto will lose money on this.

What a black eye for the league if this is true.  Our marquis game and we can't sell more than 16000 tickets in the nation's largest centre?  Embarrassing.

[Rich]

They've really set the price for Grey Cup tickets too high.   Last year too in Winnipeg they were too high.

Once the price point gets up to $400 and $500 for a single ticket, people are going to start questioning whether it is worth it.  The Grey Cup has always been about the country travelling and uniting in the host city.   Grassroots for the average fan.  Once you factor in airfare and hotel and slap an extra $500 on top of that for a single ticket ($1,000 if you are a travelling couple), people are going to think twice about going and stay home to watch the game.

Ticket pricing should top out at $300 - $350 and go down from there.   Setting prices too high, then having sales to bring attendance up just trains people not to buy tickets ahead of time and wait for the price drop.  It isn't a good thing.

For a league with a downward trend in attendance, they need to market and price this game to drum up excitement and get people out to the game.  Not turn them off further.
