See-saw battle. The Bombers took the lead with 28 seconds left, and time ran out on the Als. The word on Troy Smith is that he has gun for an arm, but he is not accurate. ***** Eskimos 27....Redblacks 11 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4708503 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/scores/boxscore/?id=1411705 Ottawa did very well in the first half, but Edmonton controlled the second half. Adarius Bowman caught three TD passes. ***** PS - The two teams who missed the playoffs last year, Winnipeg and Edmonton, are now the only teams undefeated, at 3-0. They will meet next week.

GA Russell Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 It seems like most years the quality of play is a bit ragged the first couple of weeks of the season, and I think that's true again this year. Stampeders 34....Argos 15 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4708701 The Stamps played without Jon Cornish, and didn't need him. ***** Lions 26....Riders 13 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4708736 Andrew Harris had a great game for BC. Sask just didn't play well. ***** Paul LaPolice points out that in the past 20 year, there have been only two weeks with more penalties than this one. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=457175 ***** Here are the key stats from Week 3. http://cfl.ca/article/2014-cfl-replay-a-look-back-at-week-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bombers' offense showed nothing the entire game. ***** Redblacks 18....Argos 17 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4710099 Great game! See-saw battle.

The Ticats had a chance to tie it at the end, but the snap for the field goal was muffed. So far, it looks like the Ticats O just isn't very good. Zach Collaros is hurt, so they started rookie Jeremiah Masoli, who didn't do well. Here's a video of Brad Sinopoli's TD. http://cfl.ca/video/index/id/99177 ***** Lions 41....Alouettes 5 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4710261 The Lions controlled the entire game. The Als had 16 possessions in the game, and failed to get a first down in 13 of them. I wonder how long Tom Higgins will stick with Troy Smith. Emmanuel Arceneaux caught 3 touchdown passes. ***** Arland Bruce has filed a suit against the league regarding a concussion he suffered. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=457358 ***** Along with Chad Owens, the Argos have also placed Jason Barnes on the six-game list. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=457401 Edited July 20, 2014 by GA Russell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I watched the 1960 Grey Cup. I noticed two differences from the way the game is played today. 1) The receiving team always brought the ball out of the end zone. They never conceded the single point. 2) Players played a number of positions. Tommy Joe Coffey played both offense and defense. Jackie Parker played both quarterback and halfback.
