Thought I'd start this thread up as the Hamilton/Montreal game is about to start. Who you got?

Lol at Cash running the wrong way at the pick.

Toliver you're cut!!

Wow, total idiot. Should have went down right away.

So, we beat Mtl, who beat Ham, who killed us...........

What a phantom penalty on Grant.

It was a penalty. If TSN had shown a decent replay it would have been as obvious as it was live.

Hamilton = Overrated

Montreal has a very good team.  Lots of strong veteran players.  Just average quarterbacking will be enough for them to make the playoffs in the east.

Get used to it, it's looking like another crazy year in the CFL ...

If Montreal can learn one thing from this game...it's not to run the ball, sneak the ball, up the middle...against that defensive front four.

Before you go to bed tonight, say a little prayer that Duane Forde doesn't eventually implode and murder Rod Black at the mic.

Can you imagine what it must be like working opposite that guy year after year?

After the TD pass where Rod announced "Cato to the (SJ) Green Hornet" the silence from Forde was palpable.

Cato does not look like a complete rookie, and once he gets a few more games under his belt, he is going to be a very good pivot in this league.

I'm not too sure on this. I think Forde is settling in to the role of Rod's Straight Man. I am pretty sure he fed Rod the "Green Hornet & Cato" line a few plays before the TD.

yeah he did.  My forehead was already sore from constant face-palming by that point.

So maybe we shouldn't of criticized our offense considering how little Hamilton did.

Collaros hasn't looked that horrible since early last year. Just a brutal game by him.

No team has ever started with 4 games on the road? I guess 2012 didn't happen then? Oh, how I wish that were the case.

 

That's from Steve Daniel:

 

Waiting for Home: This season will be the first time that a CFL club has ever played their first four games on the road. Hamilton does not open at home until August 3rd and that too is unprecedented (except for pre-World War II times with much smaller schedules each year).

Funny, I said the exact same thing to the wife while watching the game last night... pretty good chance she ignored me...

 

Also, I thought I was in the minority in loving those Als signature jerseys... but it sounds like there's other fans out there...

2012 would have been a good time to go on a Castaway type adventure with no word from the outside world to cause pain to the loyal Bomberfan. Come to think of it so would 2013 and the last half of 2014 LOL ...

Isn't Toronto playing five on the road to start 2015?

The CFL is trying to say the Argo's playing in Ft McMurray (a mere 3800 km's away from their normal home) against Edmonton (440 km's away) counts as a home game.

Right. But realistically and in reality, the Argos are having to play five games on the road to start the season. That's pretty freaking hard.

For whatever reason I really enjoyed seeing Hamilton lose that one...

Agreed. After all those years in the east, Hamilton is right up there with the Riders in terms of teams I love to see lose.

Interesting game up there in Montreal. And finally, there is another team (Hamilton) that has a long losing streak in a CFL city (Montreal) other than us in Calgary! Edmonton, Regina.....

Flag fest. 26 penalties called. The veteran, Peter Dyakowski, illegally proceeded 5 times alone.

Overall, penalties, I thought, teeter-tottered in Hamilton's favour.

Cato got pretty good pass protection again last night, but when he didn't, he scrambled pretty good. He was the only one who could run for Montreal. Sutton 6 carries - 2 yards. Collaros can still scramble too...he had to.

-Cox - still love/hate that guy, gets the 1st turnover on a gift....leads to 3 points.

-Offsides, a too many men penalty allows Hamilton to continue a TD drive. Points lost, on a lost turnover during this drive - 7 against Montreal.

-That next interception leads to 0 points on a great goal-line stand by Hamilton. But really, who goes straight up the gut, 3 times against that defensive line?

-Montreal, at one point had 1 for 8 in 2nd down conversions. Must have been watching old Bomber game tapes.

-SJ green may drop 1 or 2 but man that guy, he caught game.

-Hefney...he looked good.

-Did somebody wave smelling salts under Stamps' nose, and wake him up?

-Strong defensive game by both teams.

Maybe now our defence, and for that matter, our offence, can garner a wee more respect after watching these teams we have recently played?

except that we've won the last time we've played in each of those cities.
