Is the game worth watching,  or can someone give a very basic TLDR of what happened?   Apparently no stats so I can't even read those

Trouble in Parades early on (he missed a pair of FGs) leads to the CGY comeback falling short.

Maiar reminds me of when Drew Willy would throw for a bunch in garbage time once things were out of reach

VA has a typical VA game with a pick but 2 TDs to Rhymes

One LOL play where maeier throws an INT then CGY recovers the fumble bc the BC player lateraled it and CGY was last to touch ball

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.

I thought the best part of the game was watching whiny DICKenson losing his ****. He really needs to have his punchable face raised up the ranking a little.

Vernon Adams scares no one

Maier scares even fewer....man.....if thats what he is,,,Stamps are in trouble. Maybe it was just a typical first game of year funk where everyone wasnt on same page, but they runningthesame system with for most part same offensive weapons, and he looked totally clueless....and his accuracy was Fajardoesque

Alberta likely the battle of the basement this year

Calgary has had some rough starts the past few seasons and always find their way back in the mix at the end of the year. I’m not counting them out. BC looked pretty sharp and may be a team to beat this year. 

Talk of BC's demise without Rourke might be premature. 

Can Maier throw past the line of scrimmage? 

Is BC that good or is Calgary that bad?

NO! YES!

Maier and Arbuckle are interchangeable 

I expect BC to start fast but fade as the season goes on. I expect Calgary to be middling all year with Oscar-Maier-Weiner-Arm. I expect the Elks to improve as the season goes on. I expect the Riders to be a dumpster fire stuffed in a locker all year.

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

Just blown away by how bad maier was. This is the guy you hitched your wagon to? Inaccurate,  immobile, weak arm. Won't find a lotnof success like that.

 Allowing VAJ to play pitch and catch all night did the stumps in.....If Cal. sticks with the type of pass rush they displayed in that game, they'll be a bottom feeder....It would be a slaughter of great proportions if they employ that same rush against us....Zack could set records ....Their anemic 'get to the qb.' was matched only by their opening game attendance

Is the CGY owner attempting to punish the CFL for not aligning with the American leagues? Wasn't he one of the owners that wanted to do it?

It's just so bizarre that you would let your property continue to deteriorate year after year and seemingly do nothing about it.

Calgary is Vancouver East

They wish 

McMahon is such a dump. Can't they sneak a stadium into that multi-billion dollar sports complex they're building?

The stadium is one thing....but to have an announced attendance of 17000, and we all know that is not a true number, on opening day is a total embarrassment.

Don’t blame the stadium. 
 

Easy excuse

The Saddledome is a **** hole- people still go there.

It's not an excuse in terms of W/L's.

It's really just one big dump.

We're a professional league.

It's embarrassing.

or maybe it's time to start talking about the demise of Calgary... either way, it's week one, which usually doesn't tell us a whole lot... let's revisit in a few weeks. 

yeah...lets see at least what it looks like into and after week 3 for a more indicative trend

Does anyone else find that the Stampeders jersey makes them oddly hungry for fried chicken?
