Third Down Gamble

Waggle that has gone too far.

Are Craig Dickenson's days in Saskatchewan over? Flag Football is in the Olympics in 2028, what does this mean?  Second Down:  Is the booth interfering with game-play by reviewing penalty calls without a Coach's Challenge? When offside is not offside (the waggle interpretation). Third Down: Calgary visits BC in a must-win for both teams, can Toronto continue their dominance when they play in Regina? (recorded October 17, 2023).

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).
