CFL Regular Season Week 14

Injuries may play a key part of week fourteen of the regular season, Winnipeg and Montreal both suffered key injuries in last week's action, more so the Bombers than the Als.  Winnipeg's sideline resembled a MASH unit on Saturday afternoon in Toronto, so concerned are the Bombers about the injury list that Michael Biship has once again been summoned by a CFL team to help fill the injury gaps.

Montreal's Anthony Calvillo also was rocked on the weekend, leaving Adrian MacPherson to fill in and pick up the pace on the way to the Als victory on Friday, word out of Montreal is that Calvillo will be healthy enough to play on Friday night when the Als have a showdown with Bombers in Winnipeg with first place in sight for Montreal.

Other CFL action this weekend features the Lions hosting the grand re-opening of BC Place on Friday night, BC is currently the hottest team in the CFL and could move further up the CFL West chain with a victory over the inconsistent Eskimos.

Two teams that are having their problems getting things on track meet on Saturday  in Calgary, as the Roughriders come a calling on the Stamps.  Calgary's problems are becoming rather glaring of late, leaving head coach John Hufnagel to question his team's heart.

The Riders on the other hand finally came back to where they were prior to the return of Ken Miller, last week's loss to British Columbia was Millers' first experience of the kind of pain that Greg Marshall faced for the start of the season, a returning trend that isn't finding favour in Regina these days.

Toronto's playoff hopes could all but be gone after this weekend when the Argos host their long time rivals the Tiger Cats on Saturday, Hamilton flush with a convincing victory over Calgary at Touchdown Atlantic could put the final nail in the Argos coffin this season with a win.

The Cats and Argos bring a wrap to week fourteen of the CFL, one which could see many changes in the pecking order heading into Thanksgiving next weekend.
