2024 CFL Season
- Thread starter bob the dog
- Start date
All this Bombers clinch is a bit much imo. Bombers backed in by the thinnest of margins to be polite. They will be hard to beat in the west but likely 3 time consecutive losers in the GC. Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa are all capable whichever team goes through.

Did I not suggest setting up snow making machines outside the stadium recently and then a miraculous gust of air appears in Montreal just as they were about to punt? Coincidence or not?

Argos -6.5 favorites. Riders -3.5 vs the Lions. Two teams seasons are over after today. Teams are healthy and weather is not too brutal.
Nice 3.5 payday for Ottawa in what should be a suckers bet. I took the Lions to win in Regina and think they can.
Believe players are paid for the game by the league and is around $3500 per player and escalates to $16,000 each for the Grey Cup winners. $8,000 to the losers. Meanwhile owners charge $500 for a ticket to the game so the expenses are covered and then some. It sucks but still doesn't take away from the play on the field.
CFL playoffs could be as Canadian as it gets for men.

I think a 20 point loss by the Redbacks probably took your money. I think you lost on BC too.
Was at the Argos game today. The Argos defence was off all day. It kept the game interesting for 3 quarters at least. The Toronto offence started slow but picked up later and started picked apart the Ottawa defence particularly in the second half. In my mind the game was decided near the end of the first half. The Redblacks had just got a TD to take a 23-27 lead with 6 seconds left in the half. They tried a short kick. Toronto recovered and booted a half ending FG and they went in with a 23-20 lead. But the momentum was Toronto's as they had the first possession in the second half.

Congratulations on the win. I'm guessing there were a few anxious moments early with Ottawa playing as well as they did. I didn't bite on the big odds and did not bet the game. I did lose my BC bet.
Lots of good play by the Argos. Lirim Hajrullahu nailled everything including his kickoffs. I haven't always liked Ryan Dinwiddie as a HC but do have to admit the O is his and he has it going well. Kind of weird how Kadeem Carey cracked off his three best runs when Nick Arbuckle came in but all good. The kickoff just before half wasn't meant as a short kick imo as it had a lot of leg in it but the player did an excellent job to stop the ball. Agree that it was a huge momentum play.
Best two teams left are the Argos and Alouettes.

Yes, it was in doubt until midway through the 3rd. Going in my son and I wee expecting a Kelly repeat performance from last year. Glad we were wrong.
I rewatched the TSN broadcast and saw that it was indeed. squib kick gone wrong. But I agree with the announcers assessment that the Argos approach to avoiding the return guys by doing a moonshot kickoff was a better approach. They also agreed it was the turning point of the game.
Our HC has his positives. One cannot argue with his results. But he has some annoying habits and decisions (none of which came into play yesterday).
