I wanted the Ti-Cats to win, but I think the best cat team probably won. Dane Evans was charging down the field on that last-minute, to-win-it drive. That’s really impressive looking QB depth. That point is nullified though if VA is injured and Dane Evans is their starter for the playoffs
I was surprised the CFL got Green Day for the Grey Cup Half-Time Show. I guess they’re on the other side of their peak (I’m not really in the loop of pop culture), but that’s a big name. I saw them in concert around 2014. They’re big time. I hope it’s a good show. This is good publicity for the CFL in my opinion. I’m confident CFL awareness/appreciation is higher in other cities, but in Toronto no one knows about the Argos. I think their 150-year anniversary, as the oldest pro sports team in North America, is pretty cool. The Argos didn’t hype that up enough either in my mind. /end rant
The Riders and Stamps are both in contention for 3rd in the West, and their head-to-head on Friday could be decisive. If the Riders win, they’re headed to the playoffs. The Stamps would have to win that match and then make up 1 more win over the Riders in the last 2 weeks to make the playoffs.
But the Riders haven’t won since Labour Day - a 5-game losing streak. Their defence has been weak, allowing 30+ points in each match. It should be a fun match between the two rivals!
Yeah, it’s definitely the most interesting game of the weekend that’s for sure :P. I’m not super familiar with the Stamps, but I believe they’ve fallen short of expectations this year. How much of that is on Maier, and do you think he’s likely to be their starting QB next year?
He’ll be their starting quarterback unless, of course, they find somebody else that they think will be better. Maier hasn’t been great, but he’s hardly the sole reason the Stamps have played poorly. Lots of injuries, questionable play calling, questionable pass protection, questionable receiving all plays a part.
