Tough lost to swallow especially against the team that I hated so much. The offense did enough to win with Burris, Lewis and Copeland having an excellent game. The run defense were at their worst again. Whitlock had over 100 yards in the 2nd half alone is not acceptable. Blackmon & company had a bad game and couldn't stop a beach ball. With Blackmon gone due to injury, Grootegoed didn't help matters as he too were brutal missing assignment and some sad tackling. Only defensive players who had a decent game were Carpenter and Anderson.
For specail teams, DeAngelis missed an easy field goal in the first half. When he missed I thought last time he missed the Stamps lost in a close game.Guess what? Stamps beat the Stamps. I am talking Fred Stamps scoring a winning TD.
There are some missed opportunities in this game. When they had the 2 turnover, they missed opportunities in scoring TDs. If they capitalized on even one of those turnover, it could have been a different ending. Then there is one play, I belived it was 2nd and 2. Burris passed the ball to Cornish. Cornish was too busy trying to run before catching the ball first. It end the drive there.
As for the good: Huf gambled on 3rd and 10 and were successful. Good pass by Burris but even greater catch by Copeland. Copeland then ended up scoring the TD so Calgary were ahead by 4 with less han a minute to go.
Bad bounced for the Stamps on the kickoff. DeAngelis kicked the ball short to avoid Tristan Jackson and Whitlock. Unfortunately Jackosn got the ball and ran some good yardage. Good effort by Jackson though. Defense failed to stop Ricky Ray from moving the ball and ended up throwing the ball into the end zone to Fred Stamps.
It sucks to lose but that's how the Eskimos and Stamps usually play in their first game in the season. ESkimos in first place with 4-3 record while Stamps record is now 3-4. I am not panicking as it is too early in the season. Stamps still have to play two more games against the Eskimos. We need to win the next 3 games.
Burris is now sitting in first place for Stamps all-time passing yardage.
