Jim Lang's Power Rankings: September 17, 2009

TW LW Team Our Take
1 1
(8-2-0) 		I swore I saw Anthony Calvillo running in for a touchdown in the Als win over the Lions. You don't see that very often, but old man AC knows when the Als offence needs a big play. Like when Calvillo hooked up with Kerry Watkins for a 56 yard pass in the final minute of the game?
2 2
(6-4-0) 		In the last two games, Henry Burris has thrown for 678 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions. John Hufnagel can live with the picks as long as Smiling Hank keeps heaving that ball down the field and making winning plays.
3 3
(6-4-0) 		The avuncular Ken Miller is such a nice man. But he's also a fiery competitor. Miller kept the pedal to the metal as the Riders laid a good old fashioned beat down against the Bombers. Nice to see Andy Fantuz back in action.
4 4
(5-5-0) 		I still like this team. Playing on a very short week, the Ticats lost in over time to a very desperate Argos team. It's looking more and more like this is Kevin Glenn's team until further notice.
5 6
(5-5-0) 		That was one of the those games that leaves coaches sitting in a darkened film room for hours on end. They just sit there, replaying the loss, wondering what went wrong? Richie Hall and the Eskies have to snap out of it and get ready for the Riders.
6 5
(4-6-0) 		Is Wally Buono ever going to get that victory he needs to become the winningest coach in CFL history? It was the defence that let him down in this one as the Lions allowed Calvillo to throw a 56 yard pass that set up the Als game winning score.
7 8
(3-7-0) 		Words probably can't really describe how badly the Argos needed that win over the Ticats. It looked pretty dicey after Kevin Glenn scored that late touchdown. But Cody Pickett and the Argos dug down deep and found a way to win. It's not much, but it's a start.
8 7
(3-7-0) 		Eight turnovers, two sacks allowed, four interceptions thrown and no on, and so on. Not hard to figure out why the Bombers got crushed the way they did. Now what? Now they have to travel to Montreal to face the Als.
