CFL Week Seventeen


The playoff push is on with but four weeks to go in the 2015 CFL season, a jockeying for positions that could mean the difference between home field advantage and long trek into enemy territory in a winner takes all showdown.

Two teams looking to secure their spot in the playoff rotation take to the field in the week seventeen opener, as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers head into Ottawa and a Friday Night Football match up with the Ottawa RedBlacks.

The team from the nations capital is currently trying to keep pace with the division leading TiCats and Argos, but two points behind the division leaders heading into the weekend. Winnipeg on the other hand are holding onto their dreams of a playoff berth by their finger nails tied with BC for the final spot and watching as the Alouettes look to secure a cross over berth for the CFL Semis.

Saturday afternoon finds the Argos back on the road for a home game, bounced once again from their Rogers Stadium home owing to the Blue Jays ALCS Division series, the Boatmen will be hoping that enough of their fans make the drive down the QEW to see Tim Horton's field where they will host the Stampeders in what should be a CFL thriller for the weekend.

The night cap on Saturday takes us out to Edmonton, where the Eskimos who currently hold the edge over Calgary for bragging rights in the West will look to add to the misery of the Lions season, which has seen missed opportunities slip through their fingers a number of times in 2015.  Currently locked into a third and final spot in the West, the Lions have seemingly done all they can of late to make sure that they have to fight to the very last game should they wish to have any post season plans this year.

The weekend wraps up in Montreal, where Kevin Glenn, recently acquired and taking a crash course in Alouette offensive plans will look to keep Montreal's playoff hopes alive as the Als take on the TiCats at Molson Stadium.  Week seventeen might provide a bit more of a challenge for the Cats, as Jeff Matthews who has taken over the helm of the Cats offence faces down a team that is still focused on a playoff spot, with a motivated Alouette defence no doubt looking to make this weekend a test for the rookie QB.

Below, is our archive for week number Seventeen.
