I think American college ball is the greatest of all the leagues. NFL is great during playoffs, but CFL is much more exciting because of only 3 downs forcing the ball in the air more, and plenty of potential for drama right up to the final whistle. NFL has arguably the best athletes though.
With my REDBLACKS disappointing, it was nice to watch an entertaining game like this tonight. Looking forward to watching Hamilton & Montreal in the East Semi-Final in a few weeks.
BC Lions have no running game but they still manage to squeak some last minute wins in. This could only be possible in the CFL with bigger field, more space, solid QB and top class receiving core.
Honestly I'm surprised that the BC Lions did not blow us out there together we're not up there with the best teams in the league with Winnipeg and Toronto and Montreal and BC so I'm glad we got this humbling loss this weekend we can get back to the drawing board against the Calgary stampeders in 1 week after the bye coming up
Lol. Ya, and if your aunt had nuts she would have been your uncle. I mean, by your comment, anything could have or should have happened. Narrow it down some on the reason why.
BC has to stop doing this to me. I'm getting up there, and the ticker doesn't like it! Time to get back to the early season blowouts, please. Still, what a game! Classic CFL.
Enjoyed this exciting game and it confirmed three observations of mine. Every Autumn the CFL gets tougher than early season so a team with a poor record can beat a team who was dominating before. The Ticats don't have all that is needed for a championship team but showed they have pieces of the puzzle. The way their Offence moved the ball so well at times shows they have talent. BC is a very good team but not a championship team without a far better running game, Receivers that get open more often, certain players who keep getting penalties and a Defence who plays brilliantly one minute and then can do little to stop an Offence who is moving the ball well. They can beat anyone except Winnipeg but are close. However f they manage to make it to the Grey Cup, Toronto will destroy them.
As a Ticat fan, one of the most painful endings in memory after enduring 3 hrs of lead changes. Gettin beat by Dane Evans (good on him.) Not a fan of Orlando Steinauer who coaches conservative not to lose style. Should never have started BLM in game where they could have elevated their standing. Negate that pick 6 he threw (10 interceptions on the year) and Hamilton easily wins that game. Nice brain fart by Simoni at the end leaving one second on the clock but what is veteran leadership for anyway?
I grew up an NFL fanatic but with the dreadful commissioner who instructs officials to cheat for certain teams ( first New England & now KC) so that there's a "dynasty" , I have watched more CFL games in the last 5 years than the cheat league. The games are really competitive and exciting.
That is one area where the NFL is VASTLY superior. Watch CFL games, the announcers act like a 50 yard field goal is a miracle; in the NFL, it's virtually routine (they hit about 2 out of 3 on average as a league). Also, many stadiums are outdoor stadiums in the NFL -- so by itself, that doesn't explain the difference.
People call the cfl a joke well watchig some of the calls and missed calls in this game I can see why, even on the play with 4 secs left the receiver was clearly 2 yds downfield before the ball was snapped, this happened multiple times both ways, then the command centre chimes in near the half to take away an offside flag while someone was hurt, is that the protocol, do they review every flag, I don't think so sure makes it look like a non professional league.
I mainly watch U.S. college and NFL football, but games like these are the reason I regularly tune into CFL highlights too. What a game.

Fuck the NFL, bro. I, too, am from the States. The CFL is for purists like us. Go BC Lions!
I'm an American in New York who agrees with this.
The CFL needs to start marketing themselves here in the states!
Hey hey! A fellow USA CFL fan! Man, I thought I was the only one! I was getting kinda lonely!
@DiehardMechWarrior lol, nah there's a few of us. The NFL's special team situation is BRUTAL, as is the whole "40 second play clock" thing.
CFL, gotta love it!
The Tiger-Cats are a great team in the making. No need for any shake up. Steady as she goes.
I LOVE THIS BC LIONS FOOTBALL CLUB AND I AM THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINED!
what a game today

What an incredible video presentation! _ "Success is a continuous journey of personal growth."

I love the CFL
LETS GO LIONS
And legend has it you can still hear Dane Evans' laugh in the halls of THF to this day

What a game.
As a Calgarian ....can we trade Dave Dickensen and Maier for Bo Levi ???? Asking for a friend
Hamilton should have won it
Why?

I chuckled at the blindside block... was sorta like playing snooker...

Kinda cool watching two former eastern Washington eagle QBs go at it.
Although Mitchell has a natty and Adams doesn't.
Merci Vernon

hamilton is hype, a solid shot at toronto
CFL kickers have to work harder than NFL kickers.
