East Semi Final Game Thread

Cats looking efficient on their first drive, March down the field annnnnd cough up the ball with a fumble.

 

Volume down on your big-screens, boys. That horn is going to be Tylenol inducing.

[bustamente]

Ti Cats were moving the ball easily, sometimes it's best to go down. Now the Als are moving

[MOBomberFan]

I like this Snead guy. Faj has lots of help out there. MTL should come away with the clean sweep but we'll see...

seems like it's not as horrible as it was last year. still annoying, but i think TSN is doing a better job of micing the crowd.

Ti Cats again moving the ball pretty easily

[Booch]

I just can't see a team led by the Faj going very far

Montreal D feels like our D early in the game. 

[bluto]

Schultz saw the defence drop back pre snap and knew he was going to keep it.

 

Good read.

[Nolby]

Love these Montreal unis

[bluto]

Al's red zone D was stout there.

 

They are paying compliments to Fajardo.

 

Somewhere... @17to85 's eye is twitching.

 

(Annnnnd the drive stalls and the Alouettes punt)

[bustamente]

If the Als can't run the ball they are finished, Crapardo's arm isn't enough to make up for it.

This is exactly how I expected this game to go. People thinking one of these teams are going to upset Toronto are nuts.

[HardCoreBlue]

Can’t believe I’m defending the Riders but Faj didn’t really show the specific  leadership needs (ie accountability) that was needed when the chips were down so the Riders not retaining him makes complete sense to me.

[Mark F]

faj  foot speed not what it once was.

his main ability.

Thing is tho...there wasn't any kind of leadership anywhere..from HC on down

Lotsa selfish individuals tho

That’s not defending the Riders, lol. They cut a **** QB that burned all bridges in the end.

Yup seemed to be a bunch of individual athletes breaking off into their cliques with no sense of team surrounded by coaches tolerating/rewarding it.

[Mark F]

at least... not a flag fest.

[Booch]

Bo will be in next series

[BaconNBigBlue]

So far Leggs has been good.  Wonder how long that will last!

Yea that was bush league. Hope a first time viewer of CFL football didn’t turn on the tv right at that moment. The channel would have been quickly changed.
