Wacka Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Was channel surfing and I saw something that might satisfy football junkies. Opener right now on ESPN2- Montreal Alouettes at Toronto Argonauts. 11-6 at the half. Correction-Says it is week 2 of the season.

benderbender Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 The massive gap at the line of scrimmage is perplexing. Like there’s an entire yard of space between the OL and DL. Seems QB sneaks would work all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess with 3 downs instead of 4 they're saying a 3rd and 1 is the competitive equivalent of "close enough." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I always like watching the CFL, sure its different but its a fun different. All the motion before a play is great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) Duke Williams shows as being out for tonight's visit to Edmonton; ankle injury. Might be a cover story, as a department manager at Canadian Tire Southland Mall (Regina, SK), he had to cover that kid who went to Scout camp.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Curse of the CFL: Hamilton makes it to 2021 Grey Cup. Loses in a close game. However, everything looks bright for 2022... * (0-3) 🤬 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 10 hours ago, Poleshifter said: QB Chad Kelly getting some playing time right now on ESPN2. Very rough first CFL series for Kelly. Takes a bad checkdown for 2 yards, misses a throw on second down, and then gets blasted from behind for a sack to turn it over on downs and gets up and motions at the receiver like he was supposed to cut off his route. I wish the kid luck but even if the overall talent on the field isn't nearly comparable to the NFL the CFL game is an adjustment for QB's coming from the US game. He's going to have to show enough and be enough of a good teammate to stick around for a season or two so he has a chance to establish himself.

I just want to call out/thank you for putting the date in the thread title. Little irks me more than when people title thread like, "Josh Allen On GMFB Today," and don't put a date. Gracias.

Hamilton has blown a couple good leads already this season. Just blowing it. In other news, former Bills RB/FB Tim Tindale "The Canadian Comet" is going into the Canadian Football HOF. Kaiir Elam's uncle Matt Elam is still playing "safety" (defensive halfback?) in the CFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for Tim Tindale. His part in throwing dirt on Shula's professional grave will always be appreciated. A buddy of his told me Tindale was living the fine life on a small lake north of Toronto and still rooting for the Bills. One of @Bob Lamb all time favorite Bills.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 July 10, 2022: Ti-cats did not lose this week in CFL action. (Bye week. 😁) * In other league action, Duke Williams was good for a TD and a 4 reception game against Ottawa on Friday night. I wonder if his good play is attributed to the fact his Canadian Tire on Thursday unloaded a shipping container of footballs shipped 'bulk'. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy of his told me Tindale was living the fine life on a small lake north of Toronto and still rooting for the Bills. One of @Bob Lamb all time favorite Bills. "On my first day of mini-camp, Buffalo Bills coach Marv Levy came up to me and knew my name and all my stats. He was the head coach and he knew everything about me." (Levy had coached in the Canadian Football League for a period in the late 1970s and early 1980s.) Tindale had gained television exposure in Buffalo through CHCH-TV's broadcast of Ontario university football, which had made him a "cult hero" of sorts in the station's broadcast area. Tindale scored his first career rushing touchdown on December 30, 1995, in a playoff game against the Miami Dolphins. His Western University coach, Larry Haylor, said he remembers watching Tindale's first NFL touchdown while on vacation. "We were huddled around a 7-inch TV screen. Tim broke a run for 44 yards and my wife and I were jumping up and down, cheering and screaming. People came storming into our room to see what was wrong." Haylor also said "I always said Tim would be the guy I would pick first if I had to choose a team. At 5'11", 220 [pounds], he had very unusual talents. He's one of those guys who will give you his soul in effort." Edited July 10, 2022 by Bob Lamb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
