I don't understand why they start so late, it's November, wrap it up before the sun goes down.

It is five pm pacific right now, game is not on.

And it looks like it's not even on Tsn+.

Hope I'm wrong, if they don't have it on there they just lost a customer permanently.

lol wrong day.... 😂

Yup, we've been blessed for all the GC Festival days with superb weather (even with a bit of rain one afternoon).

GC forecast actually improved over time. Should be a nice 0-ish day. Can leave a couple of layers at home. SSK's much better run game won't be as much as an advantage as a cold/snow game. We should get a nice air show!

Like me being this close to booking the MTL plane rid to arrive Sat night... CFL playoffs are now officially confusing. Sat this, Sun that. I get it, but I miss "everything is on Sunday".

Quote from: Foxhound on November 15, 2025, 06:59:26 PMBut for me it really comes down to wanting Trevor Harris to QB a team to a Grey Cup victory.

Meh. I don't. Maybe if he was on a non-green team. I have no love for him leading the green. The only reason I might want to see him win is so he can retire and leave greenerville up CFL creek without a real QB.

I would bet money Trevor takes a hit and doesn't finish the game. Might be a good test of the EITS's cajones to see if they'll pull a starting QB in a GC... In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this game ends up being MBT vs Maier. I'd take MBT in that bet any day!

Quote from: markf on November 15, 2025, 04:32:17 PMI wouldn't like to be counting on Lauther, so edge to Als there.

It will be epic if the game is lost on a Lauther FG. The whole province will be firing up their manure trucks. It would be so fitting for a team who had the 13th man incident, and has known their K is garbage for 2 seasons now.

Quote from: markf on November 15, 2025, 04:32:17 PMI think Als have better offence coaching... Maas/calvillo is formidable.

MTL is far more traditional in O approach. Lots of levels of play available to the QB to pick. Lots of hard to stop screens when you need that last 4 yards. A large % of deep shots, but not reliant on it.

But SSK has done something magical with Mueller and the perfect mix of middling RECs along with a league-best 4 IMP OL and a good run game and a QB who is king of the dink & dunk. They don't look flashy but they can sit there and chip away at you all day unless someone jumps something in the short game. Amazing for a team that might have one of the cheapest REC corps in the league.

Tecno · **Today** at 07:02:59 AM

So, no K.Johnson REC for SSK. That's gonna hurt. He's the only one with "great" hands. The rest need the ball thrown to them -- no Kenny circus in that squad.

And no Robustelli!

Very bad news for Greenerville. 4 starting NAT RECs! Yowzers. Picton & Ajou? Hahaha. At least they benched Busby -- he's done nothing in 14 weeks. In comparison MTL has nothing but REC talent.

It's going to come down to the plan. Can SSK's "we don't need no steeenkin receivers!" team design still get the dink & dunk done 13 times each drive?? Expect a heavy run attack.

It's kind of funny, but this GC might have the most hitch screens ever seen in 1 game!

Quote from: Waffler on November 15, 2025, 03:35:55 PMNHL, but the Oilers did not touch 2 years ago, touched last year. Same result. The touching teams go on to win the Stanley Cup Final eight times out of eleven. Limited sample size because most teams never touch it.

Awesome. Another touch-stats-minder! Love it. Someone get the stats on the CFL for this... In a decade: I recall CGY always touching it(?) and they won half their GCs? WPG never touched it and we won 2/5.

C'mon MTL! Prove me right that trophy-touching is the correct choice!
