2014 CFL regular season thread

[puckhead]

So the Eskies shutout the Riders 24-0 last night at Commonwealth - I guess Tino Sunseri is not the answer (lol).

Laval is a very easy team to dislike (they are the Yankees of CIS)

BC takes an early 7-0 lead and Kevin Glenn is throwing hospital passes...

7-3 Lions at the half. Tate seems incapable of throwing two good passes in a row. Hope he rebounds in the 2nd half.

so the Stamps receivers are getting open down field.
Tate just has his bionic arm working. 3 overthows in the 2nd half already that would have been 6 points each
They are still moving that ball ala Cornish, though.

Leos need to show something now. down by 4

John Beck into the game (Glenn with the ice on his elbow).

Stamps lead 14-7 (four FGs and a safety for Calgary)

 

[dash]

Kevin Glenn back in and Andrew Harris just carried off the field (looks like an ankle)

woot!! Stamps win!!

Farhan Lalji on the post-game show - "I thought the Lions defense did a fantastic job containing Jon Cornish tonight."

20 carries for 156 yards and 3 catches for another 20 yards. Yup, that's swell.

from the stats, it looks like they did OK in the 1st half.
I watched the 3rd quarter, and it showed me all I needed to see.

I mean, they did keep the Stamps out of the endzone, but....

Man, that sucks. I can't remember a season when so many CFL star players have gone done.

yeah its been terrible. lions have not been as good with dealing with their injuries as has Calgary. Calgary will win the grey cup this year. just no one to stop them

The only team that will stop them is Calgary (i.e. they need to get out of their own way).

Also, the Riders may have Darian Durant back for the playoffs:

Rob Vanstone ‏@robvanstone 46m
The word from Durant and the Roughriders' medical people is that there's an excellent chance of #4 returning at some point in 2014.

@sportscage: Rider GM Brendan Taman told CKRM they expect to activate Darian Durant for Game 18 at Calgary”

Jon Cornish loves trips to Regins (and Riders fans)

The Stamps haven’t played at Mosaic Stadium since Week 2 of last season, and they haven’t won there since Aug. 25, 2012. But Stamps running back Jon Cornish is certainly excited to play there this Friday.

“There’s two things I remember about playing in Regina,” Cornish said. “One, I love getting Italian Star before every game. It’s my favourite sandwich shop in all of Canada.

“Two, I love watching the disappointed faces on Rider fans as they leave after a loss. There’s nothing better. They are so angry from all the beer they have been drinking the whole day. It will be an 8 o’clock game. Everybody will be drunk at the game. Seeing them go home unsatisfied . . . I want nothing more.”
