CFL 2012 Regular Season: Week 3

Week Number three offers up a number of themes for consideration, chief among them the second guessing that Eric Tillman is suffering in Edmonton these days.

While Mr. Tillman reconsiders his past decisions, Game Time arrives for the Eskimos on Friday, where the Winnipeg Blue Bombers continue their marathon road excursion,  which we imagine was created so as to enjoy the ambiance of the new stadium in the fall, a plan which of course has been tossed as the stadium won't be ready until next year. So the road warriors will make one last road game before a journey home, Friday's game yet another attempt to ruin Mr. Tillman's day once more.

Before that tough, the Stamps and Als will kick off the week with a Thursday night game, the Stamps without Drew Tate, who is out for five to six weeks, leaving Kevin Glenn in charge and no doubt anxious to show that perhaps the East gave up on him just a little bit too soon.

Saturday provides a showdown of the Western leaders as the league's two undefeated teams thus far take to the field at Mosaic, the Green Riders riding the fun of a two game winning streak, though no doubt with memories of last weeks offensive struggles still on their minds. For the Lions, it's an opportunity to keep the good vibe rolling along, knocking down a Western rival in the process.

The wrap to week three takes us to Hamilton where the rivalry of Southern Ontario resumes, as the Argos travel to Hamilton to take on the Cats, always an entertaining affair and this one steeped in the history of Ivor Wynne and the countdown to closing time.
