Risky challenge this early.

He ran the guy down from 20 yards and he's way wide. You want him to hang back? 47 was the only guy close who wasn't blocked. Holm and Briggs chased him down.

Kramdi blew that one. Cadwallader was next. Maruo and Bennett get blocked out of the middle too. Holm kind of saved the day there. He's 2 gaps wide of where the returner cut up.

Bombers win the toss and defer.

Bo Levi Mitchell had a signficantly lower QBR than Maier the past two seasons. Not sure why everyone thinks he can play again. Bombers 32 Ticats 23

The special teams bodies are a bigger issue than the starters yes.

DT is kind of football ignorant. Glad they have Doug Brown there to counter that. "No such thing as establishing the run" Never had a 320 pound monster dragging his ass downfield to know what that means.

Don't overlook how mediocre BC was in that game too. Adams put the ball up for grabs constantly. Paredes makes his kicks and Calgary's D makes a couple more and BC loses even with Maier being garbage.

It is what it is. Training camp and offseason in general just built no depth on a team that is relying on a lot of tenured players. At this point if we have a couple Canadians go down we'll be really scrambling just to fill the roster.

Jackson is likely sitting anyways. He'll just get a game cheque. They have to sit one American. The only others I could see would be Grant or Agudosi.

Don't even care about the fullback. Care about special teams. Schmekel and Szott will have no utility on the four main special teams. That's two roster spots just being burned. I can't imagine they are wanting to use Schmekel much on D tonight but they might have to. I guess they can block for field goals. This roster is really thin and if a couple guys go down in the game it could be a major problem.

The only Canadians are the PR are Szott and Murphy so one of them has to go in. Seems a bit suspect to need to sit your special teams ace and replace him with a 7th OL who likely won't cross the sideline other than at halftime for a quicker route to the locker room. Maybe should have informed their cuts a bit if Miller was iffy to go. Could have kept a Veltri, MacDougall or Charbonneau around. Or picked up Lafrance potentially. Basically going to need a lot from starters on special teams down Miller and Burtenshaw. I'm almost wondering if Jackson gets on to chase kicks and one of the other Americans sits.

Yeah like his shitty punt into the middle of the field that gave the Argos a short trip for their final TD. Prukop throwing passes too. Just play that game out without giving Prukop reps and you probably win.

Sorry...but how the **** is Szott the next man up? How about Murphy? Szott will most likely stand on the sideline the entire game. Murphy at least could play some teams I'd hope. I'm pretty sure the scratch has to be an American otherwise they'll be short Canadians dressed.

Arbuckle can run and throw at least. Just a little careless.

I can’t even come up with a comparable to Maier. He looks like he spent the off-season on the couch eating Flamin Hot Cheetos. Then Calgary sends out their running QB who promptly runs straight out of bounds for a 2 yard loss.

The problem with Dozier is he runs through that hit which is way too late. Contact was unavoidable but the level of contact was.

In a business where 6 months of the year you are idle, there is no excuse to start your season without something so basic being functional.

Click player stats. Only offense though.

Maier only has a changeup. No fastball.

I'm seeing stats in the game tracker. They must be pretty close to live if they aren't quite up to the second.

Calgary is Vancouver East

Calgary abandons the run and their QB can't do **** without a lot of help. Bad plan

Maier looks like he might crack 6 seconds in a 40 yard dash. Adams throws into about 5 red shirts there.
