Third Down Gamble

Vexed.

What happened to the Lions versus Winnipeg? Is the Waggle going too far? Total plays-per-game are down by 10 from 2016, time for a hard return to play 32 or 34 second clock?  Second Down: Roughriders lose... again. Elks and RedBlacks are eliminated from the playoffs.  Third Down: massive game in Calgary (recorded October 10, 2023).

Know your history.

A CFL legend passes away, George Reed #34 (1966 Grey Cup game-audio courtesy CBC). Montreal's Jeshrun Antwi makes a brilliant play against Ottawa.  The crossover can only go West, Ottawa has a faint hope.  Second Down: Argonauts scare the Blue Bombers, Roughriders stumble, Stampeders can't score a touhdown.  Third Down: the showdown... Lions vs. Blue Bombers fight for first Friday night (recorded October 3, 2023).

Won’t be there.

CFL playoff races heat up, a 10 second runoff(???) and when is a quarterback not a quartback. Second Down: Ottawa almost gives up another massive fourth-quarter lead, Montreal's defense looks great.  Third Down: Winniepg versus Toronto, too late for this matchup?  (recorded September 26, 2023).

Crazy weekend.

When do you go for a field goal when down two scores?  Should tackles/blocks knees and below be banned? Second Down: all four CFL Week 15  games came down to the final minutes. Third Down: is Ottawa overdue? Is Montreal overrated? (recorded September 19, 2023).

That kind of capable.

Ejection: when a punch does and/or does not merit one. What's up with the Banjo Bowl? Can Ottawa stop their slide? Second Down: Toronto and Winnipeg walk, Tiger-Cats and Elks win games. Third Down: can Winnipeg cover in Hamilton? Huge game in Regina (recorded September 12, 2023).
