2018 CFL Season

[Mowich]

I believe we have a good chance in the Banjo bowl to come out with a win, Winnipeg came at us with one of their best preparations I have seen this year from the offence and defense. We came out flat and didn't really show the Bombers anything new, IMO they will reinstall Johnson, Butler, Brooks and bring Bagg into the offence, they will be hungry for the rematch.

Our D needs to get to Nicols early and hard - really rattle his cage so he throws more of those handy interceptions. And, we have to shut down Harris - that guy is greased lightning. If we can stop their run game, rattle Nicols and put an O on the field that can perform like they did in the last half of the LD game, I'd say we have this one in the bag, TM.

Esks came out hot in Calgary on defence may have a chance of coming out flat at home again IMO

If the Esks win they will go 7 and 5. If we win we'll go 7 and 4 - still a game ahead and a great chance at a home game in the play-offs, TM.

What's going on with Lions and Arbys?

What's going on with Lions and Arbys?

For the first time in ages, I actually turned off a CFL game, pete and that would be the Lion's game last night. I thought I was going to hurl as I watched that ignorant lip-chewing prick Walleye put Travis back in the game first after he almost had an eye taken out, then after he had sustained a cut to his mouth and finally after he was seen crawling along the ground in obvious pain after taking a hit to the chin that knocked his head back to his shoulders. It was a nothing game. The Lions aren't going anywhere least of all to the play-offs yet that shit-head Guano kept throwing Travis to the wolves. I don't know who won the game and I really could care less.

The Ti-Cat vs Argo game is about to get underway. Looking forward to seeing Duron get back in action even though I'll be cheering for the other side. Go Cats, Go.

 

[Mowich]

At 7:54 in the first Q, the Cats are on the board with a major...........GO CATS!

 

[Mowich]

TO on the board with a FG.

 

[Mowich]

TO on the board with a FG.

Had to correct my previous post. TSN was showing 7 - 6 and I thought I'd missed a kick but they just corrected the score to 7 - 3.

 

[Mowich]

Now TO will go for another FG...........and the score now is: 7 - 6 as the first Q is about to come to an end. Pretty fair game so far. Refs have kept the flags in their pockets for most of the Q. Duron's seen action in two plays so far - a pass to the end zone sailed way over his head in one but in the next he brought punt return back over the Argo's 30.


2nd Q underway

 

[Mowich]

Cats can jump to 1rst in the East if they put a W on the board today.

 

[Mowich]

11:20 into the 2nd and the Cats score another major........YEAH! 14 - 6 for the Black and Gold.

 

[Mowich]

6:31 into the 2nd and Bethel-Thompson finds Edwards for the Argo's first TO of the game - convert is good and the Argos are but two points behind the Cats now.

 

[Mowich]

Mazoli - one of the leading rushers for the Cats, as well as their QB - runs for another first down and yak yards to boot....................but the Banks turns the ball over on the very next play after a good gain followed by a forced fumble.....Egads, Cats.

 

[Mowich]

Flags aplenty in this Q......TO took one for 2 many men and followed that up with a no-end in the formation - twice!

 

[Mowich]

I really like a QB who is as good on the rush as he is on the toss and Jeremiah is the best in the league at both, IMHO.

 

[Mowich]

End of first half: Still 15 - 13 for the Cats

 

[Mowich]

Duron being used on the return again...........gets the ball out to the Argo's 35.


I don't know what's going on with the TSN info banner but they were just showing that the Argo's were 2 and 66???

 

[Mowich]

Argos turn the ball over on their first series of the half. Ham will start from midfield......and basically get nowhere as the TO D stalls them at the 52...........Lirim is good from there on the FG - Cats add 3 more to their score. 18 - 13 in Hamilton's favor.

 

[Mowich]

Wahoosie...................Jeremiah found Brandon at midfield for a huge gain but Banks wasn't finished as he nimbly made his way to the end zone - completely untouched. 25 - 13 Ti-Cats.

 

[Mowich]

Argos threatening on the Hamilton 1 yard line........but wait.............the ball is moved back to the 2-yard line.........no problem as Franklin dives over the goal line for the second Argo TD of the game. Darn good 73-yard drive by the team - Noel a big part of that drive.



Under 3 to go in the 3rd and the Cats lead 25 - 19 now.

 

[Mowich]

3rd Q comes to an end with the Cats going 2 and out. Argos have the ball to start the 4th.........and a bit of momentum going for them after the TD and now shutting down Hamilton.

Smilin' Hank is doing the color commentary for TSN today and I am really enjoying his break-down of the plays. He is such a refreshing change from listening to Roddie Black. Though I may wish the roles were reversed if I find out the latter is calling our game.
