anyone know after calgary wins the grey cup this year how many times the host city will have laid claim?

feepa · #**344** Posted **Sep 24, 2008, 4:10 PM**

Sorry, I just checked my crystal ball.... Calgarys not winning the cup this year. Burrisitis happens in the Western Final. Good news though, Calgary makes it to the western final

Sask - Mtl in the cup this year. Sask wins narrowly.

It is!

So I guess the answer to his question is "just as many as before".

Sorry, your crystal ball is invalid - it was made in Edmonton!

If you think Saskatchewan wins the Grey Cup, I'd more than happily take that bet. Half of their starting offense isn't on the field, including perhaps their 4 best offensive players - Cates, Dominguez, Fantuz, Flick. Neither Bishop or Durant provide much under centre, although both do have their moments. It is a team that relies on perhaps the leagues best D and special teams to win ball games. Generally a formula for success in the playoffs, but I don't think the D has enough big play ability to make up for the lack of punch on the offensive side of the ball. I think they finish ahead of Edmonton in the West, due to the fact that Edmonton has a tough schedule to play out the year. If that holds true, it means Sask will have to go through BC and Calgary before they even get to the Grey Cup. Calgary isn't firing their coach this year, and BC isn't playing musical quarterbacks.

I like the Riders, but they are long shots right now.

I also like Wally Buono or John Hufnagel any day in a chess match with Ken Miller.

Well, it's no secret that the Bombers have been playing less than stellar this year, but we are on a three game winning streak, so I'll say cheers to that

Boreal · #**353** Posted **Sep 27, 2008, 3:57 AM**

That hit by Auggie Barrenechea was dirty. And not the good, urban slang, 'dirty'. Very questionable game on behalf of the men in black and white stripes. Next week is going to be physical. Thankfully, the game will be on grass, so I won't be cringing.

Good win today, though.

How quickly Toronto has fallen.

Calgary's put up huge numbers in the last four games.

Denscity · #**355** Posted **Sep 28, 2008, 4:38 AM**

BC Lions win 4th game in a row!

Nicko999 · #**356** Posted **Sep 28, 2008, 6:39 PM**

I think the Als have one of greatest offence of all-time.
22-6 after 2 quarter against Saskatchewan.

Nicko999 · #**357** Posted **Sep 28, 2008, 8:13 PM**

37-12 for Montreal final result!
No touchdown for Saskatchewan. We have now beaten every single team in the CFL except Calgary.
See ya in Grey Cup at the Olympic Stadium

BTW-1 more win and we're East Champion and we get a bye week for the 1st round

Rico Rommheim · #**358** Posted **Sep 28, 2008, 8:19 PM**

The Grey cup's coming to Montreal this year and its good god damn well staying here!!!!!

In your face you arrogant saskatchewan football fans! IN YOUR FACE!

Montrela is very solid, but you may want to slow down on the 'best offense of all-time' bit, Nicko. Montreal has an extremely efficient offense, that converts at a very high percentage in the redzone. It is not however, in my opinion one that ranks anywhere near the best ever.

With all that said, you guys are going to be a very tough out in the post-season.

Only thing that isn't working out well for the Als is simply how early they've locked up first. Do you leave all your starers in? Do you stop throwing certain patterns to take guys out of risky situations? You don't want to get injured, but you don't want to get rusty. On top of it all, you have to sit for 2 weeks before the playoffs really start. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice problem to have, but to have wait 41 days before your next meaningful game is very tough.

Nicko999 · #**360** Posted **Sep 29, 2008, 12:37 AM**

I just realize we haven't given a TD in 2 games

No TD for Edmonton and no TD for Saskatchewan.
