2013 CFL Playoffs thread

Actually, I thought it was pretty funny how Riders fans rip other teams fans regarding attendance and then they don't even get 31,000 people to show up for a home playoff game. Granted, it was a cold day, but still, that wasn't a great turnout.

Big loss for the Argos (although Norwood has looked pretty good replacing Kackert)

Argos RB Kackert out for the playoffs with broken ankle

Burke fired (no the other one)

Blue Bombers fire head coach Burke after 3-15 season

In the continuous coaching carousel that is the CFL, I can see current Stamps DC Rick Campbell joining the Eskimos as head coach and Burke taking Campbell's vacated job as Stamps defensive coordinator.

@ArashMadani: John Hufnagel became Calgary's coach in 2008. Since, the #Bombers hired, and fired, Doug Berry, Mike Kelly, Paul LaPolice and Tim Burke #CFL”

I think LaPolice will get another head coaching gig at some point (maybe Edmonton?)

Nik Lewis did individual work early on in practice today but hasn't run a route in team drills. Stay tuned Friday. #cfl #gcplayoffs

Doubtful he plays Sunday, but if the Stamps win, maybe he plays in the Grey Cup game?

Well, it's a sunny but cold day in Calgary today - Looking forward to the West final, but first the East final is about to kick-off. Go Tiger-Cats.

Tiger-Cats strike first (Congi FG).

Geez. the Argos made that look easy. 7-3 Toranna.

Nice TD drive by Hamilton to take a 10-7 lead.

I'm giving my tv time to cfl today normally it would be all nfl

Hamilton needs to get some pressure on Ray if they want to win.

Amazing the Argos are leading considering the refs are trying to give Hamilton the game

 

[dash]

Big score by the Tabbies to cut the lead to 24-17 just prior to the half.

Yes, because the league would rather have Hamilton in the Grey Cup than the largest city in Canada.

Hope the West final is this entertaining...but the cold might be too much of a factor?

Ball security will be an issue (there are sure to be turnovers).

Yes, I was referring to that greasy pigskin (lol).

Playing football in that weather really does separate the men from, well, guys like me....
