Sun Aug 28 - Hamilton Tiger-Cats vs. Calgary Stampeders

[R.J]

Could/should be the game of the week.

[ArgoGabe22]

My gut says Hamilton will win. Collaros will just blow Mitchell away, hypothetically speaking since they don't play against each other at the same time.

[PullTogether73]

Yah, this could go either way imo.
With Collaros back, plus that defence, along with Banks returning kicks, the Cats will be very competitive.

[ArgoRavi]

I expect Calgary to exploit a Hamilton defence that has struggled at times this season.

+1

[Argo]

@ Calgary means I have to take the Stamps. If Hammy wins, however, I wouldn't be at all surprised.

[Argo57]

The game of the week.
Should be close but I'm picking Hamilton.

I fully expect the same thing. Last week's blowout against Saskatchewan made Hamilton's defense look much better than they are.

Just a note that TSN is putting microphones on both head coaches and both QBs tonight.

I hope they have the dump button ready.

There better be a huge delay with Austin mic'd up. Especially when something goes wrong. Sure hope the Stamps will make him go bonkers on the sideline.

There will be a slight delay, but not a huge one from what I heard in a radio interview Friday.

[Wobbler]

This has been a good game. I sincerely hope that we start playing at this level soon.

[Argo57]

Tight battle between two good football teams, pretty entertaining.
Hamiltons secondary is their Achilles heal.

[Argo57]

Pitiful clock management by Calgary in the last few minutes made it closer than it should have been.

[OV Argo]

Could/should be the game of the week.

You were correct sir !

Nice game; and good comeback by the Pussycats.

Battle of 2 outstanding young CFL QBs: beautiful, prefect TD strike by Collaros to Tolliver; answered by a beauty long bomb TD throw by Bo to that new impressive receiver Daniels = love to see some long ball passing game in the CFL now. Pretty clear that Collaros really favors Tasker as his main target - defences should be keying on this IMO and having a LB or extra DB near him underneath, with another DB in man over the top - double cover the guy, especially on 2nd and long.

Stumps are the class of the league IMO - really solid in all phases, with an excellent dual kicking game. Not so great however that they could not be easily beat in the West play-offs or a GC.

Hamiltons secondary is their Achilles heal.

Agreed - not so great secondary; should have left Stephen and corner and be playing Mike Daly at safety IMO; but that would be an extra NI starter and Kenty is a 7 only need apply thinker.

[Wobbler]

Agreed, OV. We've either been fortunate not to face the Stamps until all of our pieces are in place or have been unlucky not to face them in recent weeks when we would have lost to anyone. Time will tell...

[ArgoGabe22]

I may get tomatoes thrown at me for saying this but Owens might have lost a step.

[Wobbler]

Does anyone really doubt that? The question, I think, is whether Owens-minus-a-step might have been more useful than whoever we spent his salary on this year. "Probably not", is my answer, but who can really say?
