BC Lions @ Hamilton Tiger-Cats Game Thread

[DanoT]

Maybe we should hold off on claiming Buono is still a brilliant coach after 2 games, especially when they were lucky as hell to win the opener against Calgary.

A team may have a bounce go their way or a potential interception dropped on either side, but anytime you hold the Stamps to under 20 points, there is more than luck involved.

Anytime you fly across the country to play at THF and you go out and hold the best O in week 1 to 3 points, it is insane but there is no luck involved at all.

BC D has looked pretty good; but - the game in Hamilton was played in super windy conditions, and the Ticats were QB'd by Masoli and not Collaros, and Kenty's offence has zero ability/notion of anything but all pass = they are not able to adapt and go to a strong ground game in adverse conditions; BC did have some success with the run.

I'll look at a few more games before I declare the BC defence insanely good (and BTW - love to see a CFL defence emerge in that category - like some of the Ticat Ds of the 60s); or before declaring Wally redux a coaching genius.

Two missed field goals and two Stamps players running into each other on an interception return that prevented a TD = luck.

Yup it was luck that won the game for BC or rather is was the Stamps beating themselves which is what all the football writers and bloggers said as they to a man (or woman) predicted an easy TiCat win over BC, with some podcasters even laughing about the thought of BC beating the TICats. After BC limited the TiCat team that scored 42 point against the Argos to 3 points (and it wasn't even a field goal) they are all singing a different tune now...except you.

BC has looked very good IMO, especially on D. But there is no denying that the Stamps beat themselves in BC. First and goal on the 1, and not trying Messam at least once while coming out with zero points? That cost Calgary that game. The next time down, Messam scored easily.

I'll say it again, winningest coach in CFL history, not sure how much more he needs to prove to anyone.

BC's defence has looked good, but there offense not so much. Khari Jones is their OC, and he's not known for orchestrating good offences. It might take time though and they do have a young QB.

Wally's record speaks for itself, so while it's still early; history shows that Wally should have a competitive team.

What do the writers/bloggers have to do with anything? I never made any predictions on BC/Hamilton, but you can't seem to grasp that BC is lucky as all get out to be 1-1. BC had a good game against Hamilton, that has nothing to do with week 1 when they hit the lottery by the Stamps bumbling a few plays that would have been an extra 11 points (assuming those two missed field goals were singles).

Everyone gets over the hill at some point. If not, Bill Parcells would still be coaching.

And here I thought that BC's goal line stand against the Stamps where they stopped them 3 or was it 4 times from inside the 3 yard line was due to excellent play by BC. But no, I have been corrected by you KC, as it was luck on behalf of BC that prevented a TD.

Gentlemen, is it worth it for a game between two teams not involving the Argos?
