Cant decide. Fan goggles and heart say trap game. Head says they get thrashed.

HAM starts two newcomers on corners.

With the game being in Calgary, I think the Cats are in tough.  

I am not sold on Hamilton yet.  Those six wins in the final ten last year were against weaker competition, in general.  I don't think June Jones turned the team around just like that, and I don't think Masoli has much hope of holding onto the starting job beyond the first few games.  I'd love to see Calgary take a step back but... people predict that every season and it never happens.

36-15 Stamps.

I agree - weather here in Calgary sucks (chilly and rain) however Huffnagel and group always seem to field a good team year in and year out. Looking for a Calgary dominated win.

Stamps are motivated after that **** show they had of a Grey Cup. They know other fanbases think they are chokers & enjoyed that loss. They want to stop their laughter. BLM says his shoulder is healthy & media here in Calgary say he is throwing the ball with heat. Great group of receivers. Terry Williams can really run the ball. Defense has some secondary questions with new starters in there. But the Stamps Front 7 is really, really good. No trap game for the Ti Cats. Maybe if it was Game 6 & the Stamps were 5-0 & the Ticats 1-4 & the game was in Hamilton.  Both teams want to get off to a good start.

Think the TiCats are in tough here ... but then I thought the Argos D would eat Collaros alive...

If the Stamps weren't such a self entitled team that believes everyone should bow down to them then they'd be celebrating 2 consecutive GC championships.  They talk big as they're very good but punch them in the mouth & they fold like an umbrella in a windstorm in a championship game when all the chips are down.  They don't know how to handle true adversity.   Showed their yellow streak twice in a row in the Grey Cup. They'll win tonight but if this game was played on the last Sunday in November I'd put money down on the Ti Cats to win.

White pants Hamilton? Really?? They look like practice pants. 

Straight down the field for the Stamps only thing stopping them was the upright

Yeah, that was a sure 6 points. 

Ex d line guy starting at rb for the Cats

Great drive by Masoli.  Beauty deep pass to Mike Jones.

Really hope this is growing pains for HAMs back 7. Cant stop a beachball

Stamps O ground to a halt. 

The Stamps D has given up a couple of  big plays.

I can't  wait to see Streveler start completing some tosses like that......

 

Two great QBs - BL Mitchell and Mike Reilly 

The difference? Reilly was punch on in his first game..hardly could do wrong.

Mitchell is off and consequently the TiCats are in this game..

Bo throws a pick.....nice.....I'm actually cheering for the cats for real now........stamps can go 0-1 like the Bombers to start the season. 

Bo levi....couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn 

Do the same refs always do Calgary games??? It's like, "Oh, Calgary's playing. That must be a penalty on the opposition!" I get sick of the refs favoring Bo Levi and the red shirts.

Ouch.  Masoli throws the game away.  That's not going to help him keep the starting job.  Actually thought he was playing okay until that pick.

Well that was a fun game to watch while it lasted for the cats.  Now we need Montreal to win so we ain't alone in the basement.

Threw off his back foot across his body. The pass wasn't even close  to being complete to the receiver as it was underthrown.

Yup.  Just a bad decision under pressure.

28-14 Stamps. Predictable outcome.

A lot closer than I expected. 

But...but..it was a moral victory.

Seriously, just too many mistakes against a great team. Reasons for optimism, but also to worry.
