Well, how about that. Stamps actually clinched a playoff spot thanks to their win and the Riders loss.

Hard to believe the Stamps are still in it, and not only that but that they control their own destiny. Should be an interesting game tonight. Also, Saturday's Argos/Roughriders game is going to be fun too given the two teams are going opposite directions.

He'll be their starting quarterback unless, of course, they find somebody else that they think will be better. Maier hasn't been great, but he's hardly the sole reason the Stamps have played poorly. Lots of injuries, questionable play calling, questionable pass protection, questionable receiving all plays a part.

I'm surprised the Stamps still have an outside chance. But, with the Riders slumping it is possible. Should be an interesting game for sure.

Well, the Stamps, Elks, and Ottawa will be watching the playoffs this year by the looks of it. Now it's just a matter for the teams that punched their ticket to fine tune their games for their opponents. Should be a great Thanksgiving weekend for football!

Teams are settling into their playoff positions now, but still some interesting matchups this week. Two of the top team in the Argos and Bombers go against each other. Stampeders desperately need a win, for pride if nothing else.

the Elks are now fourth in cfl.ca’s latest power rankings

Given their start to the season, I find this both hilarious and amazing. They really have turned their season around!

Argos seem unbeatable this year. Yet again they manage to squeak out a win thanks to a blocked last second field goal.

With the season starting to get towards the home stretch, and teams starting to settle into what look like the final playoff spots, the games become more meaningful for those close to other teams or those desperately trying to punch their ticket into the post-season. Should be a fun weekend!

Well, Stamps / Elks was a fun game! Elks lead for almost all of it and are well ahead in the 4th, only for the Stampeders to come galloping back and win it in the dying seconds. Good game!

Riders win in overtime against the Bombers. Great game, great overtime, with the missed two point convert by the Bombers the difference.

Well, BC manages to get back on the winning side of the ledger after a couple of weeks slide. Now, on to the next games. Bombers/Riders is always a fun rivalry game, and that one is coming up today.

Both games today were last minute thrillers, and very entertaining football. As usual in the CFL, the game isn't over until it's over. The Ottawa win in OT after a 19 point deficit was just plain fun, and then in the 2nd half of the double header, the should've been interception that turned into a reception off the bounce and a Riders TD (huge mistake by Calgary there to not just knock it down) to put the Riders up with 40 seconds left appeared to seal it, but nope! The Stamps march down and Paredes kicks a 50 yard field goal with no time on the clock for a walk off win!

Really entertaining games.

 

I'm glad to see this community pop up here. While I don't live there, I have family in the Koots and spend considerable time there every year near Slocan. Absolutely beautiful country, and wonderful people around there!!

 

Sure, TV ratings are up. But half full stands isn't a great look for the league for fans watching on TV when it happens game after game (aside from Saskatchewan I suppose). Aside from the fact that in a gate driven league this has long term consequences.

What needs to happen to help get people to go and watch the game live?
