Tired of low scoring defensive chess matches ? Fear not we're told its going to be a blow-out for CAL who have replaced MTL as the hot, new "it" team.

 

Poor Hamilton.

Well I for one hope for a high scoring close game. I will be interested in seeing how Hamilton will scheme for Cornish and I hope to Banks break a few again. But Calgary has a lot of other weapons as well. In the end I don't really care who wins this one, I am just hoping for a good game! Good luck Zontar, the only thing better then the feeling of your team being in the Grey Cup is actually winning it!

You should be hoping for a low scoring game as the longer you stay in it the better chance you have to win. If it's high scoring then Calgary will win. 

hoping for Hamilton.

 

can't figure out how Nick Lewis gets open, game after game year after year.

Interesting posting angle. You guys came into Regina thinking you would win and well that didn't work out and you had to eat crow all year. So now the we don't have a chance angle. Its a good move, Either way you can sit on the fence and not eat crow.   For the record, I'm pulling for the Cats out of respect for Kent Austin and the two championships he brought home to our prairie city. I also agree with another poster that the Cats want a close game, if the score is high it will be the Stamps running away with it.

Timbits and tidbits from the West Coast:

 

For those who missed it…Grigsby had the oddest answer for K Penton as to why he asked for his release:

 

“That's none of your concern,” he said. “If you want to go ahead and talk to (GM) Kyle (Walters) and O'Shea, they can answer those questions. That's not my job to do that.”

 

You would think that he should probably know the reason better than anybody.

Walters and O'Shea on H & L in Vancouver

 

- Walters is spending time trying to extend some players and FAs. He says it's nice to sit face to face with some of the agents in Vancouver in doing this.

- And to spend time just talking football with MOS

 

- MOS was asked if player evaluation is finished and the Coach said it is not. He explains that they are not taking it lightly and since it's first time…he wants to get it right. It's a process but he does want it finished sooner than later.

 

- Both Walters and O'Shea would like to see the PI reviews abolished next year and just let the refs…ref. Put those resources into better training.

 

- Buono says that unless you walk in a HC's shoes…you don't know what it's all about (in reference to Garcia saying he could be a HC right away) 1st year HC MOS agrees. Even Walters piped in, it's similar in GMing for the 1st time. Both say it's a daily learning process.

 

- Walters says he is learning something every day and his project is to sit with scouting, the operations dept., and with MOS and evaluate everything they have done this year - what they did well, not so well, and what they can improve on…kind of like a working document to follow.

 

- The GM's top priority is FA and the draft and they are fully immersed in the names and salary numbers and the projected salary cap and matching all these projections with the current roster, pending FAs and the next draft.

 

- MOS believes they need more toughness next year, in the players, in their practices and in their football IQ.

 

- Asked about Jordan Yantz, Walters said Yantz IS in his draft year and someone may take him for his abilities…"he's looked like a CFL QB this year".

 

- They have a strong working relationship with the Bisons and Rifles.

 

- Walters says it's not hard to pick Calgary to win and Mike says he wants to see the game decided on the last play to entertain the fans.

 

(They both said they did this interview to appease iso_55 and the lack of information forthcoming)

not good enough for iso_55

 

he wants someone fired. today. and someone hired. could even be the same person.

Hoping all the hype surrounding Banks lights a fire under Sinkfield - overdue for for a big play.

It's an indoor GC...Burris might have done well...

I can't help thinking that Hammy will make it closer than people are betting. Calgary didn't run away with many games this season and their wins over Hamilton (who were without Collaros) were tight games. I don't think Hamilton is going to win, but I certainly don't see it being a blow-out. 

 

Hammy's probably my least favourite team over the past 10 or so years, so definitely rooting for a Calgary win. Looking forward to Huffer moving out of the HC chair. 

...and we're underway. My prediction is Calgary 33, Hamilton 20.

fall on it. Don't try to pick it up.

Was Grigsby out partying last night?

Hamilton gonna join this game soon?  I don't think special teams is going to win this one for them, Collaros has to make some plays.

 

Calgary is picking on Stewart mercilessly.  Pretty much every passing play.

Stewart is a moron

Looks like its going to be a terrible game for the third year in a row.

This game could be over by half-time and Stewart is definitely wearing the horns today.

I'll admit that it brings me some joy to see Stewart and Grigsby struggle.

I just found out that Ottawa brought Rogers to camp and they cut him? Wow. That'd be unbelievable from any team aside from Ottawa.

I thought that was an overthrow too! Damn Banks showed some speed tracking that ball.

Handoff to Grigbsy...Austin can't wait to see Imagine Dragons.

Yep went from overthrown to almost underthrown.

Is this the first year ever the half time band isn't Canadian?
