GA Russell Posted October 12 Author Report Share Posted October 12 Toronto 14....Winnipeg 11 I guess the story here is how the Argos' defense shut down the Bombers' offense. I thought the Bombers would win it in the last minute, but the Argos stopped them before they could get into field goal range. With the win, the Argos clinched the last remaining playoff spot, and thus eliminated the Ticats. https://www.cfl.ca/2024/10/12/recap-toronto-14-winnipeg-11/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/10/11/defence-on-full-display-between-argonauts-and-blue-bombers/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/toronto-argonauts-clinch-playoff-spot-prevent-winnipeg-blue-bombers-from-locking-up-west-1.2188041 https://3downnation.com/2024/10/11/toronto-argonauts-clinch-final-cfl-playoff-spot-eliminate-rival-hamilton-tiger-cats/ https://3downnation.com/2024/10/12/winnipeg-blue-bombers-miss-opportunities-in-loss-to-toronto-10-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2024/10/12/toronto-sack-exchange-finds-bull-market-against-bombers-13-other-thoughts/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-scores-today-toronto-argonauts-14-winnipeg-blue-bombers-11-argos-edge-blue-bombers-clinch-playoff-spot/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/10/11/argonauts-beat-bombers-to-punch-playoff-ticket/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/10/12/3-stats-that-defined-torontos-week-19-win-over-winnipeg/ ***** Week 19 previews https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-games-today-october-12th-2024-edmonton-elks-vs-calgary-stampeders-bc-lions-vs-saskatchewan-roughriders-tv-channels-odds/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/bc-lions-8-8-week-18-preview-vs-saskatchewan-roughriders-8-7-1-prediction-depth-chart-injuries-odds-keys-to-the-game-player-to-watch/#google_vignette https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/saskatchewan-roughriders-8-7-1-week-19-preview-vs-bc-lions-8-8-prediction-depth-chart-injuries-odds/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/rourke-b-c-lions-have-history-on-their-side-versus-saskatchewan-roughriders-1.2187842 https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/home-playoff-game-at-stake-as-riders-host-lions-in-western-showdown/ https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/no-scruffy-rider-pride-isnt-dead-or-on-life-support/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/calgary-stampeders-4-10-week-19-preview-vs-edmonton-elks-5-11-prediction-depth-chart-injuries-odds/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/calgary-stampeders-look-to-end-slump-vs-edmonton-elks-1.2187958 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted October 13 Author Report Share Posted October 13 Edmonton 23....Calgary 18 Tre Ford vs. Matthew Shiltz. Low-scoring game that got very interesting in the fourth quarter. The Elks led 17-5 after three. Then the Stamps scored two touchdowns to take the lead. The Elks got a touchdown to take the lead back. The Stamps came back in the final minute, and on the game's last play the pass to Begelton fell incomplete in the end zone. https://www.cfl.ca/2024/10/12/recap-edmonton-23-calgary-18/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/10/12/elks-sweep-season-series-over-stampeders/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/edmonton-elks-calgary-stampeders-cfl-football-1.7351405 https://3downnation.com/2024/10/12/calgary-stampeders-continue-slide-gets-swept-by-elks-six-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2024/10/12/elks-bring-out-the-brooms-sweep-season-series-with-stamps-seven-other-thoughts/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/10/12/3-stats-that-defined-edmontons-week-19-win-over-calgary/ ***** Sask 39....BC 8 The Lions were never in it.

I have had problems this year with the radio stations that carry the Montreal, Ottawa and Calgary games. I was unable to listen to either the Montreal or Ottawa stations today. The game was carried on the CBS Sports cable channel, so it was not available to watch (in the US) on the league's website. So I missed the game. It was Davis Alexander vs. Jeremiah Masoli.

GA Russell Posted October 21 Author Report Share Posted October 21 Rod Smith mentioned during the Argos game that Whit Tucker retired in 1970, and he still holds the career record for pass reception average - 22 yards. ***** Toronto 38....Ottawa 31 Whoa, Nellie! The Argos led 14-0 after one, 28-6 after two, and 38-6 after three. The Redblacks outscored them 25-0 in the fourth. On the last play of the game, the Redblacks lateralled the ball a number of times in the vain attempt to score one more time. Take a look at the recap video to see two beautiful Lewis Ward short kickoffs which the Redblacks recovered. With the Argo victory, the final standings of the East are set. 1. Montreal 2. Toronto 3. Ottawa 4.
