Edmonton Elks... they look like they finally started to figure themselves out. I hope that they would keep the ascent going. They need to keep guys like Geno Lewis (7 game streak with receiving TDs, he helped me quite a lot in winning a 110 Yards Fantasy League as he become one of the most reliable players to score points), Justin Rankin (who is a phenomenal mid-season pick-up that changed the whole complexity of Elks offense in a good way), Loucheiz Purifoy, Nick Anderson... they need to figure out who's gonna be their QB as MBT wasn't as bad as many other QBs in the Elks losing era, he kinda figured himself out eventually and won a few games. Tre Ford... he's... I don't even know. He has some strengths for sure like his phenomenal running game, but he needs to improve on his passing even more to become a serious threat.
1K Chain for receivers? YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! They deserve that as well as running backs for their 1000+ yards rushing seasons. McInnis, Justin Hardy, Reggie Beggelton, Samuel Emilus - they all deserve it. Tim White is just 2 yards from 1000+ yards season. Geno is just 18 yards from 1000+ yards season. If they will end with 1000+ yards receiving - they all deserve a chain. It's not that easy as people think. PS. Walter Flecher deserves 1K Chain as well for his 1000+ yards of offense (711 yards rushing and 587 yards receiving, almost 1300 yards in total), he's the best double-threat player in the league and no one is even close to him.
Roughriders beating of Lions started with THE 9 BOUNCE INTERCEPTION that turned into pick six. Like... WHAT??? That's the most unfortunate way to lose possession.
Calgary... that might be one of the worst if not the worst season they ever had. 0-7 at road (with two games left, both on the road), 4-4-1 at home... they started kinda good with 4 straight home wins but then everything crumbled down.
With Blue Bombers losing and snapping their 8 game winning streak... you know who has the best winning streak right now? ROUGHRIDERS. 4 wins in a row right when it is needed the most.
I can't understand HOW Ottawa managed to clinch a playoff spot despite being on a 4 game LOSING STREAK... Like, HOW??? They are undisciplined (the worst team on total penalty yards), they are having injury problems... they're not looking like a playoff team right now. But they still can get a home East Semifinal game if they'll beat Toronto at road (easier said than done with 2-6 away record) and then beat Hamilton at home. I want them to figure themselves out, I really want that. And Roughriders can get a bye and host a West Final game. Both Roughriders and Blue Bombers have one game left in their schedule and they'll both play it on the last week of regular season. That will be the last two games of the regular season. Blue Bombers will play against Alouettes at road and if they'll lose, Roughriders will have a chance to clinch a home West Final game for themselves with a home win against Stampeders. The only two playoff spots that are certain are Lions playing a road game in West Semifinal and Montreal Alouettes having the best record in the regular season, bye and the home East Final game. And if Hamilton will beat Stampeders at home next week, Stampeders will officially have the worst record and possibly the first pick in the CFL Draft next year. Elks already forfeited their first and eight rounds picks by picking two Canadian players during the season in the supplemental draft (WR Zach Mathis and DT Antonio Alfano).
