Mr Dee Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Calgary @ Toronto ?? Some interesting game notes for this West - East confrontation.. Ricky Ray has passed for 2,282 yards - an average of 380.3 per game and has recorded a career-high 6 straight games of 300+ yards. Andrew Buckley 10-for-10: The Calgary #2 QB challenged the CFL record last week for most pass attempts in a game without an interception or incompletion. Home team dominance 16-8: The home team has now won the last 7 CFL games and 12 of the last 14. For the season home teams have dominated winning 16 times to just 8 losses. West Division clubs have won the last 6, and 12 of the last 13 inter-divisional games. Toronto's record is a good example of this effect as they are 3-0 vs the East, and 0-3 vs the West in 2017. This game features the #1 and #2 offences in the CFL with Calgary at 420.2 yards per game and Toronto at 401.5. Calgary comes in with six consecutive wins over Toronto and 7 in the last 8 meetings. Last week the Stamps did not target McDaniel on any of their pass attempts and thus his magnificent streak of 76 straight games with at least one reception ended. He last failed to catch a pass on Aug 25/12 (and he was not targeted in that game either). ??(not that they had to) Jerome Messam rushing: In his first 4 games he had 48 carries for 188 yards, 1 TD and an average of only 3.9 yards. Since being ejected on Jul 14/17, his totals are: 39 carries for 226 yards, 4 TDs and a 5.8 yard average. Calgary O-Line Excellence: The Stampeders have not allowed a Sack in the last two games and just two in the last 4 contests in 2017. They went 3 games in a row last year without allowing a Sack on their QBs and over their last 22 games have given up just 20 or less than one per game. What makes it more remarkable is that 11 different players have started over this 22-game span. Bo Levi Mitchell 16 games in a row: Mitchell is off to a career-best start this season with a 5,496-yard pace despite sitting out the entire 2nd half last week. He is now riding a streak of 16 consecutive games with at least one TD pass (Reminder: games where a QB does not see the field at all are excluded from streak calculation as no opportunity is there to extend it). Mitchell has thrown at least one TD pass in 37 of his last 38 games. Anthony Coombs: Over his last 3 games he made 25 receptions which is tied for #1 in the CFL for all players over Weeks #4-6. Over his last two games Ray has not thrown an interception covering 93 straight pass attempts. He has just 3 picks in 266 throws this year. Shawn Lemon: Has logged 4 Sacks and 9 QB Pressures over his last 5 games and ranks #3 for the season with 11 Pressures overall. His total of 15 Sacks & Pressures is tied for #1 in the CFL blue_gold_84 and Fatty Liver 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedFlex27 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Just can't see the Argos beating the Stamps in this one. Then again, who thought the Als would have defeated them a few weeks ago? I guess that's why you play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted August 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Don't forget, Toronto isn't shackled by a dressing room where the AC isn't working this week. (Wonder how that happened to only one dressing room in that marvellous new facility? Hmm) rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted August 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'm one of two fans on this board who have chosen Toronto to beat Calgary.. But if they don't, then I'm not driving there 3-4 days each way anymore. And if I had season tickets, I'd cancel them too. So there!

Messam doesn't need extra motivation to dance upon the head of a card carrying member of Duck Dynasty, I bet he hates that show.

Hmm) You've mentioned this a couple of times now and it's got me wondering if there wasn't a stern warning from the league to the Riders about this sort of thing. Didn't they warn the Lions a few years ago about piping in crowd noise? I don't think it's exactly good sportsmanship to be cutting off the A/C like that (not that it surprises me coming from our pus-coloured neighbours next door).

MOBomberFan Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Calgary D playing like mad, but the Toronto D is starting to step up, too. Decent game so far SPuDS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Man the Stamps are just so good. Even when they're not lights out, they are good enough to just straight up kill teams. ST, D, O... Sometimes one, sometimes two, sometimes all 3, they are so good all over and I ******* hate their fans with every fibre of my being for not caring much...
