2012 CFL regular season/playoffs thread

New season, new thread...

Copied puck's post from the other thread...

Riders stomp Hamilton (43-16) in the early game to get a jump on first place.
Winnipeg hanging close against BC in the 3rd quarter. 13-10 BC.

Big surprise, Buck Pierce started but did not finish.
his stat line: 3 for 9, for a total of 11 yards... sacked four times.

Bo Levi Mitchell caught on with Calgary. Hopefully he gets a chance to start eventually. Always gotta root for the kids from EWU.

Congrats to Geroy Simon as he is now the CFL all-time receiving yards leader...

Bombers Buck Pierce is using a cane and moving very slow at YVR this morning; will speak to media at YWG this aft; team arrives 2 pm AC #bn



i met Buck at a Charity function for the Boy and Girls Club. he was really nice. I really feel bad for him and his injuries. He is a great QB but will most likely not last in the league with what he has been broken down with.

It's too bad that he pushed a Canadian QB (Brad Sinopoli) off the Stamps roster, but this isn't grade school where everybody gets a participation ribbon. You have to put the best team forward that you can and I trust Coach Hufnagel with those decisions.

just incase anyone thinks the CFL is not exciting

@CFL_News
Thoughts & prayers go out to referee Andre Proulx who suffered mild heart attack during #Argos - #Esks game on Saturday. #CFL



Stamps stomping on MTL today, btw.
if it holds out: West 4-0, East 0-4

/Drew Tate, 25 for 35 and 299 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs (youthful mistakes, only 4th CFL start)
//Defence was outstanding today

hows this for a stat ... i know its an 8 team league BUT

in his cfl career, Buck Pierce has been knocked out of games against every other CFL team except the Montreal Alouettes ... and he's 3 - 0 against them

odds he gets killed tonight? I think its due lol

 

[dash]

I know it's still very early, but the Leos just have so many weapons on offense that they look like prohibitive Cup favourites. The only thing that will stop this team will be injuries, in my opinion.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

tate looks great

stamps will be right there

 

[dash]

Yeah, and I like the fact that they got Kevin Glenn for the games where Tate shows he's still a youngin as far as CFL experience is concerned. If the defence can keep playing like they did against Montreal, that would be great.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Breaking news: buck pierce has survived the first half

 

[dash]

Well, you don't see that every day...A screen pass that goes 95 yards to the house (Burris to Chevon Walker)

Ti-Cats lead early 7-0

 

[dash]

Leos answer and then Burris leads the Ti-Cats back down the field.

14-7 Hamilton in the 2nd quarter.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

What a stupid challenge by the ticats

I really think Shawn gore is an nfl player

Things would have been a lot different if the packers put him on their practice roster
