2022 CFL Week 20

[B.C.FAN]

The Argos finally catch a break on the first drive of the third quarter when a bobbled Winnipeg interception at the goal line pops in the air and gets trapped between the knees of Brandon Banks in the end zone for an Argo TD. 17-10
Winnipeg.

[B.C.FAN]

Some things are too strange to be true. The Argos appeared to be driving for the tying touchdown when Banks fumbled inside the 5-yard line and the Bombers drove for a field goal. 20-10 Winnipeg on the first play of the fourth quarter. 17 of Winnipeg’s points have come off turnovers.

Ughhhh the Argos choke it

[B.C.FAN]

Unbelievable. The Argos fought back to score a potential game-tying touchdown with 25 second left but Boris Bede hooked the convert wide left. Winnipeg looks beatable but hangs on to win 23-22.

Unreal!! Two chip shot misses at BMO going both ways for the Argos in both home games. Would have taken some guts but going for 2 and putting the ball in the hands of Andrew Harris from the 3 yardline is what I was thinking before the kick. He was running with a chip on his shoulder all night

[B.C.FAN]

Aside from 17 Winnipeg points off turnovers, the Bomber offence generated just 6 points on their own. That won’t cut it against B.C.

BC has to capitalize on Winnipeg's short week.

Thursday
Calgary (3-0) at Edmonton (1-3) 6 p.m.
Friday
Ottawa (0-3) at Saskatchewan (3-1) 6:30 p.m.
Saturday
Winnipeg (4-0) at B.C. (3-0) 4 p.m.

The big one at B.C. Place on Saturday of course but already chapter 2 of the Battle of Alberta with 2 more games coming Sept. 5 and Sept. 10. Hardly an easy schedule to start the season for the RedBlacks but one of these games they need to turn those close losses into a win. Fortunately, that's all it will take to get back in the race for first place in the East.
Bombers are coming in here on a very quick turnaround while the Lions are about to head into another bye week (really?).

[SammyGreene]

Thursday
Edmonton (1-4) at Montreal (1-3) 4:30 p.m.
Friday
Calgary (4-0) at Winnipeg (5-0) 5:30 p.m.
Saturday
Saskatchewan (4-1) vs Toronto (1-2) 11 am (TD Atlantic)
Ottawa (0-4) at Hamilton (0-4) 2 p.m.

I know it balances out in the end but the fact some teams are on (BC) or even had their 2nd (Toronto) bye week before others have their 1st is just a bad look for the league.
By Sept. 6, BC will have played 6 of their 9 home games and have had all 3 of their byes, setting up what is going to be a very challenging last couple of months of the regular season.
A marquee match-up on Friday Night Football. Let's see if the Stampeders can match-up better with the Bombers than the Lions did.
And unfortunately with a huge disparity in the records among the 9 teams already there are going to be some ugly match-ups with 2 of the 4 games this week. At least 2 teams' records will look a little better by the end of the weekend.

[B.C.FAN]

A massive choke job by Montreal at home on Thursday allowed Edmonton to overcome a 19-point second-half deficit and defeat the Als 32-31 to move within 2 points of the fourth place Lions in the ultra-competitive West Division. Danny Maciocia should fire himself as head coach after the undisciplined Als turned the ball over 3 times to set up 16 Edmonton points and took a whopping 13 penalties for 193 yards. Montreal DB Will Sutton set up 3 Edmonton touchdowns, including the game winner in the fourth quarter, with lazy pass interference penalties. East Division teams are now a combined 2-14. At least the crossover is available for the fourth place team in the West.

[DanoT]

It would appear that Maciocia axing Jones and Miles did nothing to improve player discipline as Als kept shooting themselves in the foot with penalties.

[SammyGreene]

The East has become a complete disaster. It's July 15 and 4 of the 9 teams in the league have become an afterthought. Talk about a buzz kill trying to hype up those all-Eastern match-ups to casual TV viewers.

Oh well, I guess it adds a little intrigue to the Elks return visit here on Aug. 6 and it's somewhat good news that we see one less Eastern team (Montreal) at BC Place this season.

[squishy35]

July only half over and it's already beginning to look like a west team will cross over in the playoffs.

[SammyGreene]

This week’s battle of the unbeatens is living up to the hype. Stamps more than holding their own with a couple of crucial penalties including a lame contacting the kicker call being the difference. But a great game.

[TheLionKing]

Wow, what a game. Winnipeg remains the only undefeated team in the CFL with a 26-19 win. Calgary almost tied it with 49 seconds but Kamil Jorden fumbled in the end zone and the ball was intercepted by a Winnipeg defender. The two teams will meet again in 2 weeks.
