Overwhelming pick in this week's FNF game is the Stamps over BC....I've seen no other pick. It's the #2 ranked team vs. the #8 ranked team.

Check out these game notes...

The Stampeders have not lost two games in a row since July 12, 2012, a span of 62 games (Toronto & Montreal Jul 7 & 12).

Stamps at home: BC is one of only two clubs to defeat Calgary at McMahon Stadium in the last 16 Stampeder home games (Winnipeg was the other) and Calgary is 16-2 in that run. In their last 29 home games dating back to Sep 3/12, Calgary is 26-3.

First 28 QB Starts: Calgary is now 23-5 when Bo Levi Mitchell starts at QB after last week’s loss to Edmonton.

Low Carries: Last week’s total of 4 carries for Harris was his lowest total as a starter since a 35-14 loss to Saskatchewan on Oct 19/13 (4 for 29 yards).

Calgary & BC successful challengers: The Stampeders challenged twice last week and were able to overturn both initial calls; the only other club in 2015 to do that was BC on Jul 4/15 vs Ottawa. Last year only three clubs all year went two-for-two.

Last week EDM: Calgary started very slowly last week as Edmonton held them to just 113 first half net yards and 7 first downs. Calgary did not score in the 1st Quarter for the second straight game but bounced back to lead 10-9 at the half. Edmonton forced two late Calgary turnovers however to win 27-16. The 352 passing yards for Mike Reilly was just the second 300+ game posted by an opposing QB this season.

Last week vs OTT: The Lions were beaten by Ottawa for the first time at home since October 6, 1990 and that broke a run of 22-1 vs Ottawa clubs dating back to October 1979. BC was held to just 18:15 of Possession Time and in the 21 seasons since 1995 when data exists for this result, it was the 3rd-lowest ever. That trailed only the record-low 17:46 for Toronto vs Calgary in July 2010.

- The Stampeders have now gone two games scoring just 16 points in each after averaging 31.4 ppg in the previous 7 contests. Over the last 2 games, Calgary has only 2 TD drives and 6 FGs in 33 possessions with 11 punts and 5 turnovers.

- This is an amazing stat....The Lions have now gone three games without a “big play” on offence with their longest rush being just 14 yards (and only two going 10+ yards), and their longest pass being just 29 yards.

- Rene Paredes: Holds the CFL’s longest current FG made streak at 15 in a row and has missed just three times all season (88.9%). Paredes’ longest streak of 2014 was 11 straight made. Prior to the current 15 straight he has now made, he had gone just 20-for-30 dating back to the final 6 games of 2014, a 67% mark.

- Over their first 7 games, the Stamps were a +7 in the Turnover ratio category. Over their last 4 games they have gone -5 with 6 interceptions and 3 fumbles lost.

- BC 2 wins in last 7: The last time that the Lions won only twice in a span of 7 games was to close out the 2014 season. In their last 17 games the Lions W-L record is just 6-11.

- This is the latest date that the Stamps and Lions have had their first meeting of the regular season in 62 years of competition.

He's done for the year if it's an achilles injury.

It's not an Achilles. It's his knee...ACL.

Previous guy said achilles.

Out for the rest of the regular season it would seem.

Concussion issues, knee issues, dude is a mess

Sweet pass by Glenn!

How is Ottawa over.500?

How is Ottawa over.500?

Because they're not half bad?

This is the Ti-Cats schedule going forward.

 

Bye

Cgy.

SK.

Mtl.

BC

Ott.

Ott.

 

I would say even without Collaros they still have a good chance to beat Sk., Mtl. and BC just on team strength. If Collaros comes back in time for Ott. they  beat them twice easily.

MTL has Hamilton's number they never play well against them.

Burris is awful.

Burris is awful.

And has been for awhile. I still find it comical how many were disappointed when we "lost" out on him prior to the start of last season.

What a crap season, almost every good QB in the league has been injured for substantial periods and it has definitely effected outcomes of games and the standings. I guess that's football but the East just opened up wide.

Burris is awful.

 

How so?  Objectively his numbers are better than Glenn's and KG is having a decent game. 

I hate so much the CFL's application of the horse collar tackle in how it's a penalty if it happens to the QB when he's in the pocket. I much prefer the NFL version where it's not a penalty if the QB is in the pocket. Weak call.

Burris is awful.

How so? Objectively his numbers are better than Glenn's and KG is having a decent game.

Are you looking at stats or watching his horrid decision making?

Should have been picked off about 4 times already. But he has a strong arm so people are easily impressed

Because numbers has nothing to do with it. He's reckless with the ball, incredibly streaky, inaccurate more often than not and he's a brutal cold weather quarterback once October/November rolls around...just to name a few reasons.

Agreed.

Hamilton is not a good team without Collaros, what have you seen to make you think otherwise?

They were hideous the first part of last year.

Demski makes a brutal decision.

Should have been a safety.

What does any of that have to do with this game?  So far he seems to be playing well.

Which part of him getting away with poor decisions and bad passes is confusing?

Henry wouldn't get away with that stuff vs a better D that's for sure.

Horrible fumble by Burris.

Middle school kids protect the ball better than that.

I would say…..

 

Another horrible fumble by Burris. Third fumble in the last ten minutes of this game. One he got back.

 

Many thanks to whoever arranged us not getting Burris.

heard on the radio that the thunderbirds had 519 yards passing against bisons tonight.

 

broadcast the game on cjob. The broadcast guys were very impressed with both quarterbacks.

You paying attention to the good passes he's completed?  I realize lots of people hate Burris but he just went over 400 yds. so he's doing alright tonight...that's all I'm saying, but keep that hate burning bright.

How is Ottawa over.500?

Because they're not half bad?

That's a great line!! Lmao

Burris! 

 

lol.

they should just punt it through the end zone right?
