CFL: The CFL Thread: Part VI

[Kyle McMahon]

Montreal right back in it. What a turn around after such a crushing end to the first half.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Got it to the 4th Q down 3 with the ball to start, I will take it.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Mack TD!

11 minutes left and the Als are in the lead.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Wow

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Touchdown with 11 seconds left to take the lead!!!!!! And that 3rd down gamble! OMG!

 

[Kyle McMahon]

Can't even say Winnipeg choked. Montreal was simply a better team. What a run by the Als!

In a year where three teams dominated the league in a fashion we've seldom seen, none of them win the Grey Cup. The most CFL thing ever.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I still can't believe it even though I just watched it, the Alouettes are the 2023 Grey Cup Champions!

Can someone explain Sheahan's decision to kick that ball on the final play?

I am confused what the heck that was about, lol.

 

[MM917]

LOL

In a year in which there were no great teams, no great players I guess it’s fitting that a mediocre at best team like Montreal end up as the “Champs.”

Sad day for the league that this is the best they have to offer up

 

[keonsbitterness]

Well done, Als. If the Argos had to lose, at least we lost to the champs.

Just a prayer that Montreal messes up and one of his guys could recover it.

Hoping for the Als to fumble it or a guy that was behind him to recover it in the endzone.

We Are The Champions of The World. Als offense was mediocre but the defense got better as the season went on.

O'Shea has done that before. Dumb call. You have to hail Mary that.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

It's hard to believe that is the best play the Bombers could come up with. Like, you are not THAT far away from the end zone. Go for the Hail Mary.

Lol thats crazy.

I've never seen that before.... My brain is automatically looking for flags after that.

 

[MM917]

The good news for us regular guys is that if morons like Maas and DM can win a GC any one can.

We Are The Champions of The World. Als offense was mediocre but the defense got better as the season went on.

Champions of a very small part of the world but you are right the defense did play well today, they deserve credit for that.

 

[Kyle McMahon]

People slept on Montreal's defense. Even today, unforced errors gave Winnipeg a chunk of their points. After the way they clowned a 16-2 team a week ago I'm surprised they were such heavy underdogs today.

There were a number of players onside behind the kicker when he punted it so they would all be eligible to recover the kick. But the decision only makes sense when you can completely catch the other team by surprise, not when there's like 8 defenders back deep.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Als deserve basically no credit here. Bombers COMPLETELY failed to show up. They had no interest in playing this game clearly. Pathetic effort as I've ever seen. What a joke.

Puleeaase!

 

[MM917]

LOL No credit is harsh but this is as bad a team to win the Cup as I can remember including the 2001 Stamps team that was sub-.500.

Winnipeg (who I hate this version of) played as bad as they could and still Montreal needed some luck to beat them.

 

[Levi Walking Bear]

Fantastic game, congrats Als.
Didn't think last year's Grey Cup could be topped this might have.

Not even in the same stratosphere as the 2001 Stamps team. That team was 8-10. Montreal was 11-7 and had a +50 point differential which was close to BC.

Why is everyone so afraid of giving Montreal some credit? They knocked off the two best teams in back to back weeks. It just sounds like sour grapes coming from the Bombers not giving them credit.
