CFL Week Four

The learning curve for the most part is over for CFL teams, the first three weeks of picking up on the new rules put in place this year, or for those in their first year of CFL play a better understanding of the rhythm and pace of the game now perhaps has them more in step with the veterans.

Week four is the point where coaches have also discovered where there strengths and weaknesses may be and whether the need for change is required before things get to far down the road as far as the season goes.

Injuries however continue to be the wild card for the year, whether its the marquee players sent to the sidelines for the season, or newcomers barely tested in CFL play absent from the field for extended periods of time.

How teams juggle their lineups and answer the challenges will offer up a glimpse for their fans as to their fates for the remaining three months of play in the regular season.

One month in, everyone should now be on the same page, some teams however still have a fair amount of work ahead to meet up with the challenges that have already been tossed at them four weeks into the season.

The week starts with a well rested Tiger Cat squad (they had the bye in week three) heading into Montreal, with both teams looking to catch the Argos and Riders who currently rule the CFL east.

Ottawa will be seeking a bounce back from their efforts of last week, with a return engagement with the Eskimos this time at TD Place stadium and in front of some home town fans who they will be looking to show that last week was not an indication that old ways were returning on the field for the RedBlacks.

Another rematch is the nightcap to the Friday Night Football doubleheader as the Riders host the Lions, with Saskatchewan looking to avoid the late game breakdowns that have snatched victories from them in recent weeks.

The fourth week of the CFL season will come to an end on Saturday in Calgary where the Stamps will be looking to claim sole possession of the top spot in the CFL West as they host the Blue Bombers at McMahon Stadium.

Below our archive for week number four.

Check back regularly through the weekend for updated material.

CFL 2014: Week Four

The Montreal Alouettes will be looking to keep up their momentum from last week, as they kick off week number three with a home date with the undefeated Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Yes that's correct, Winnipeg which struggled through 2013 has found a winning vibe under head coach Mike  O'Shea and with a taste of winning over two weeks, the desire to keep the roll moving forward on Friday should be all the motivation that O'Shea needs pre game.


Week Three also offers up an opportunity for the Eskimos to continue on with their undefeated season so far, as they host the Ottawa RedBlacks at Commonwealth Stadium on Friday night.  The Esks have sped off from the starting line through two weeks of play with entertaining victories, an impressive comeback from last week adding to the excitement of an unexpected start for many of the Eskimo faithful.

With Ricky Ray having found much success against the Saskatchewan Roughriders last week, he will look to keep his Argos in winning ways as they play host to the Calgary Stampeders. Either, the Argos clearly addressed their week one struggles, or the Riders of week one were just an illusion for their fans.  We imagine the correct answer is somewhere in the middle.

And BC perhaps faces the largest hurdle of the weekend ahead. Not only have they struggled to find wins in their opening weeks of play, with two losses to show for their efforts but now they have to go into Regina and take on those same Saskatchewan Roughriders, a squad that will be very angry over last weeks loss to the Argos and looking to send a strong message of calm to RiderNation.

Below, we'll provide the scoreboard for the week, as well as any items of note from the first week of the brand new season.
