?‍?This should be a very good game between two motivated teams. Don't forget, Edmonton beat them 3 times last year and Calgary no no like that.?

Edm vs Calg
The Stamps roll into Labour Day winners of six in a row and the undisputed best team during the first half of the 2016 CFL season, while the Esks seem to have sorted themselves out en route to their current three-game winning streak.

One of the main objectives for Edmonton’s improved defence this Monday will be creating penetration on Stamps quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell.

Calgary’s surrendered a league-low 10 sacks and turned the ball over just 12 times this season — also a league-low figure.

Offensively the Eskimos will be faced with the league’s best statistical defence in Calgary; the Stamps have allowed the fewest points (185) in the CFL while forcing the most fumbles (14) and creating the most pass knockdowns (38) in the league.

Calgary’s offensive line — one of its biggest strengths in the first half — will be without centre Pierre Lavertu. Spencer Wilson will move over to centre, with rookie Ucambre Williams sliding onto the line at right tackle.

While receiver Joe West appeared ready to make his return from the Stamps’ injured list, Dickenson and his staff opted to stick with Davaris Daniels.
The rookie out of Notre Dame hauled in 108 receiving yards and a touchdown in Calgary’s win over Hamilton last week.

Toronto @ Hamilton

Both teams are 4-5
Both enter Monday night’s marquee matchup off losses; Hamilton’s last outing ending in a narrow 30-24 defeat in Calgary, Toronto’s a 16-13 home loss to BC on a last-second field goal.

The EDM CGY game was a snore fest. Edmonton tried to make a game of it just before the half, but that was the only interesting part of the game. Full marks to CGY. They are the team to beat for the cup this year.

The Toronto Hamilton game was a lot of fun to watch. Tons of big plays. Tons of scoring by both teams. The young Argos D looked really good for a while, then faded. Refs were up to their CFL tricks with a long phantom PI call against Jefferson. Ray took a beating but kept on delivering the ball on target until he had his arm hit while throwing, ending up with an Int. Callaros delivered at an 80% pace again. Hamilton ran away with it in the 4th when the Argos ran out of steam.

I know the CFL sucks and is unwatchable but last night was an epic.

As one gets older less things impress you but last night I left the stadium astonished.

Collaros is the best QB in the league.  Gonna be tough to beat him.

I still think BLM is better. Certainly more consistent.

Regardless CGY is a better over-all team, they don't tangle with the Ti-Cats again until week 15 so we'll see what happens.

Tough to say.  I do like BLM as well.  But he plays on a far better team too.

BLM is the best because he wins at historic rate

Wins aren't a QB stat

Tell that to Nichols and Willy.

Collaros at his best is better than BLM. I agree that Mitchell is more consistent though.

OK hold on

My vote is for BLM, personally, but Collaros is damn good for sure. I'm impressed with how quickly he's back to top form following that injury. He comes back and basically from Game 1, he was lighting things up...
