Well new week of CFL football means no power rankings!
And there are some BIG changes!
1. B.C Lions
BC is IMO right now is the best team in the CFL. Big play VA along side his talented receiving core seems to be unstoppable. Throwing over 300 yds a a game is now expecting of this team.
And there running game with standback is doing its job. D also looks pretty solid. So far the injury bug his bitten them but has not killed them. This team dose need star power to win so let’s hope they stay healthy
2. Saskatchewan Roughriders
Yes they lost, but they lost to the BC lions without there starting QB. Patterson looked pretty good tho for the most part. There D struggled at times but again considered it was BCs O. Not the worst showing
This team I still feel can be a top 3 team for sure. They need to get that running game going more however. At times it has shown promise but it’s time to pound the ball and run.
3. Montreal Alouettes
They finally lost a game. Yes they had injuries to key players but every team does. There D struggled to contain Torontos running game.
There QB2 in Evans struggled at times to move the ball down field however we know he can win games if he needs to play for a few games.
And this teams D won’t be slacking next game around. They have the players to win without the ball. Something a lot of teams in the CFL don’t have.
Still a top 3 team in my eyes but they have looked beatable last two weeks.
4. Toronto Argos.
Whoever told people the CFL is a passing game forgot to tell the Argos. There running game is second to none in the CFL. And it’s giving young QB1 Cameron Dukes a chance to make plays. His numbers are huge but there good enough. That’s all he needs to be.
He’s making plays when he needs to. All they can ask for.
There D has looked better from week to week and I still see it improving more. Right now just shy of a top 3 team as there passing attack isn’t what it use to be without Chad Kelly. Weather you like him or hate him guy call ball.
5. Ottawa RedBlacks.
I am so impressed with this team, Dru Brown is showing he is ready to be a QB1 puttting up 480 YDS vs the elks. There team is finding ways to win. They are learning how to play winning football. They are one win away from tying last year win totals.
There D has been good enough making some big play when needed. Running game has been strong. Getting over 5YDS each carrie. Something that’s needed in CFL.
Definitely a team I could see making a Grey Cup push if they keep improving at this rate. My sleeper pick if you will.
6. Winnipeg Blue Bombers
This team to start the year looked old and tired. Now they look like they found another life or maybe a health pack in the kitchen like in GTA.
They have gone back to running the ball to open the passing game and it’s worked.
Both there D and O lines look better every week. Plus they could be getting some key players back such as a Kenny Lawler sometime next month.
I’m impressed with how they have turned things around. Changing how they play to an older style of football. Good coaching and player are buying in.
7 Calgary Stampeders
To start the year I liked this team. However a lot has changed.
Passing game is struggle. Not using running game as often. And 4th are bad for them!
A lot has to change but I think it can. They need to be better on 1st down like they were to start the year. Get 6+YDS on 1st will go a long way.
8 Hamilton Tiger Cats.
Well this team still can’t figure out how to win. The bye might have helped them but time will tell.
There D is where they need the most work. If they can fix that they are in business.
9 Edmonton Elks
How this team finds new ways to lose is beyond me. This team should be a 500 club.
They just need to finish. Make one less mistake in the final 3:00 minutes.
That is all!
