TO/OTT And Cal/Sask: Its Friday Night Football Discussion

[rebusrankin]

The Ottawa/Toronto game looks as exciting as watching paint dry. Personally hoping Calgary destroys the Riders.

[Blueandgold]

I agree with Calgary beating Saskatchewan, I personally always hope the Riders get humiliated (its hard for me to cheer for them even if it benefits the Bombers) but a Riders loss still gives us a chance to get first place if we can get our **** together.

[NorthernSkunk]

Riders will look terrible tonight..... Riders will play terrible tonight......  

[17to85]

Yeah we can still take care of the Stamps ourselves so cheering for them tonight is the thing to do. 

[Tracker]

Ottawa Arndt expecting too much from their quarterback tonight.

[Mark F]

Red black defence  league worst.

[NorthernSkunk]

rod black definitions league worst.

[Mark F]

Helmet to helmet not called

[bb1]

MBT who can figure this guy? One night he can look all world or at least like a decent QB then next time he plays like garbage...

[Mark F]

Was that fumbler a mexican ?

[Wanna-B-Fanboy]

I hope the entire game goes like this.

We gave the Argos their first win of the season... I think that was the beginning of the end.

Riders lose. That should quiet the trolls.

If we win tomorrow- 3 way tie for first.

What is the tie breaker rules for a three way tie?

Basically, it's whichever team has the highest win % amongst the teams in a tie. The complete (and technical) rules can be found here:

So right now, here's how those three teams shape up in games against each other. If we win tomorrow, the West standings would look like this:

1) CAL (vs SSK 2-0, vs WPG, 0-1) Overall: 2-1 (Win % 0.667)
2) WPG (vs SSK 1-2 vs Cal 0-1) Overall: 2-2 (Win % - 0.500)
3) SSK (vs WPG 2-1, vs CAL 0-2) Overall: 2-3 (Win % 0.400)

Of course, then that massive series against CAL just gets even more massive.

Rider fans lashing out and hurling insults and accusations.

Stamps did us a huge favour tonight. We need to send good vibes to the Lions and Shmoes now.

If the Esks can do us a favour and beat the Riders twice Riders would finish 11-7 if they beat BC. If the Riders lose to BC the Esks need to beat them only once.

If we can beat Calgary twice the Stamps would finish 11-7. If Calgary should lose to BC we only have to beat them once.

If we can win out our games we will finish 12-6 and we win 1st place in the West and host the WSF but we need help from the Esks and maybe the Lions.

Those Argos, LDC and Als games would make a HUGE difference right now.

Yes sir, they would. You simply cannot throw away games where you have 20 and 23 point leads.

In the game tonight we saw where one team opened up a 2-score lead and was able to lock down the win, even though they gave up a late TD, by getting a few clutch first downs that enabled them to run out the clock.

Now you've gone and given away the game plan.

Calgary and Regina both have a game in hand so it would be Cal, SSK, Wpg.

The rough play - ejection of Casher shows the disrespect these players have in certain situations. Trying to wrench a QBs ankle at the bottom of a pile is cowardly. Lots of penalties in this game...most of them warranted.
