Tonight, BC @ Calgary (Calgary -1.5)

Rourke starting per depth chart, for what that's worth.  Mike Reilly was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play, but is listed as the backup. For what that's worth. 

Takeru Yamasaki remains at PK after missing two short field goals and a convert in the game the Lions lost by 4; the Lions do have import kicker Stefan Flintoff on their practice roster.

For the Stamps, Ka'deem Carey returns at starting tailback after a horrendous fourth quarter that sparked the Argo comeback last week.

Whoever books this stuff has Calgary favored by a measly 1.5 points, which seems kinda low to me, but I am not much of a gambler.

cfl.ca was 6-0 Stamps
MBB was 37-3 Stamps

Just like those tall brains above, I picked Calgary in the pickems, which means that Rourke will absolutely go off on them and the Lions will cruise 45-18.  I have a perfect record to preserve!

Good lord! If an O-line cannot get  less than a yard with two tries with a one yard gap, that is pathetic.

Bombs away!! 61 yard bomb

cortisone is a hell of a drug

Calgary’s secondary is bad

Riley's arm looked pretty good on that throw.

No real zing on that pass, but effective nonetheless.

who throws cross-field 61 yard passes on a rope tho?

A brief reprieve for Yamasaki.

No doubt but 132 yards to 60 some for Blo 

pretty good

Have to say, the Elks really nailed their rebrand.

I know we've got good up and coming receivers but I still wish whitehead would've worked out here.

He would have but we just weren't prepared to pay him what he'd get on the open market. It was him or Grant and they chose Grant. Business decision.... I get it. I'm happy to cheer for him when he's not playing us. 

Calgary looks bad, folks.

Reilly on pace to pass for 700 yards a week after showcasing a linguini elbow...

We should expect a lot of flubs and oopsies for the first two or four games.

Ah yes,forgot the little thing called money. Any idea what he was asking? He showed very good promise but obviously not the number the bombers thought he was worth.

proulx!

After 2019 I would've kept Grant too.  Gamebreaking returners are hard to find. 

But look at the bright side: it's been a long time since our castoffs went elsewhere and became stars.  Geroy Simon is the last one I remember. Would love to see the Canadian Mafia take on the Wally Buono role where they are recruiting so much talent they can't keep it all...

Blo Levi sacked again hehehe

Lucky sure looking good early in the year 

Sayles!

o line problems in stampland

Bo's got footballs for Sayles

BLM always made his hay in the summer when the sun was shining ... if he's struggling like this with nice weather, what's he going to be like when the weather gets bad?

Lions look pretty good other than that horrendous first quarter last week.
