Will you the real Stampeders please stand up? In the last 4 games, the Stamps shows their Jekyll and Hyde personality. Against the Riders, they started well showing how Dariant Durant responds when he is getting pressured and not getting the time to throw the ball. Then the second half, they started making him look good giving Riders receivers a lot of room and the pressure was pretty much non-existent. Of course we all know what happened on that game. Fantuz had a monster game, Dressler made the Stamps DB missed and so on. Calgary was given the chance to win again in OT because Saskatchewan missed the 2 point convert. Close to the end zone, Burris threw the ball to Lewis only to see Lewis fell short of catching the ball because of he injured his knee.
Game #2 against the BC Lions. Easy picking, right? Lions have been struggling all year and that should be an easy win. Factor in the supposedly bounced back after the late embarrassment in Regina. Henry Burris showed us his FRANK personality and the rest of the offense followed suits. Offense was brutal all day. The only group that was worst than the offense was the Special Team. They can't cover Davis letting him run wild giving BC Lions good field position. That's one of the reason BC Lions scored with field goals and so on. BC Lions offense were bad as well but because of the good field position given up by the special team, they ended up scoring some points. Speaking of special teams...whatever happen to Deon Murphy? It's just like watching Markus Howell doing punt/kickoff return over and over again. For the past few years, it seems like Calgary cannot find a good returners but other team does. Hamilton have Thigpen, Edm have Jackson and so on.Why can't we find those players? Is it because of the personnel or the conservative special team coaching?
Game #3 against the defending Grey Cup champion Montreal Alouettes. Hank Burris started off well and finished off well. Stamps offense embarrassed the Als' defense while our Defense chased Calvillo off the game. Awesome win and we all figured the real Stampeders showed up. Oh yeah special team did a lot better covering but returning kicks/punts was still average.
GAME #4 against the Alouettes again in their barnyard. This time, the inconsistent Stampeders showed up and Als embarrassed the Stamps. Stamps offense, Frank started the game. By the way, have we seen Joffrey Reynolds and Jon Cornish lately? I think they took their name stag on their uniform because the coaching staff seems to forget about them lately. As I recall, Reynolds and Cornish are running backs and their job is to run the ball and not block the opponent's defense all day. Defense? To be fair to the defense, they were on the field way too long all day. They started off really well and they were the reason why the game was not a blowout yet. After the fist half, they were so tired that they struggled a bit. Oh I guess I haven't talk about the special team yet... oh wait, do we have a special team?

Tomorrow, they will play the Riders in Mosaic Stadium or whatever you call that place. This is a big game for both teams and first place is on the line. They win this game doesn't mean they are automatically in first place at the end of the season as they still need to take care of their remaining games. Lose this game doesn't mean they have to kiss 1st place goodbye. Both teams still need to take care of their remaining games. It just means, with the win we are 4 points ahead of the Riders and that's a comfortable lead. Lose this game means they are tied with the Riders and if both teams ended up tied, the Riders gets the first place.

I think the Stamps just needs to play it smart. The defense should start off giving Durant a lot of pressure on the line. Keep punishing him with the big clean hit. Our DB should not give Riders receivers a lot of room especially Andy Fantuz who is known as Stamps' killer. The guy seems to play so much better against the Stamps all the time. Not worry about their individual stats especially in INT. Browner, who's been inconsistent lately need to play better and hard to play against. Something that will make QB ignore his side. Henry Burris need to leave his Frank personality at home and play like the Henry Burris that we all know. I can't see why we can't have a successful offense having to throw the ball to Rambo, Bryant, Lewis or hand the ball to Reynolds or Cornish. Coaching staff.... mix up plays. We have the best RB in the CFL in Reynolds and Cornish is not too shabby, use them to run the ball and not as a blocker all game. Special team? Hmmmm... all we need is pray for this guys. Sorry I guess I forgot that punter Burke Dales and kicker Rob Maver are part of the special team.

I apologized if this Game Thread is a bit negative but I am sure I am not the only frustrated in watching this team play in 3 of their last 4 games. Maybe we got spoiled early in the season with their success but I don't see why this team is so inconsistent lately. WE supposed to have one of the best QB in the CFL, best RB, one of the best receiving group and last year's top receiver. We also have one of the best OLine in Tsoumpas. Our defense is ranked first in mostly every categories so I don't see why we can't win first place in the West and maybe win the Grey Cup BUT in the last 4 games, they play like a good CFL team, a bad CFL team, and junior football vs CFL team.

Notable: It looks like MLB Juwan Simpson and DLine Maike Labinjo will miss the game due to injuries. Robert McCune who's playing as a DLine and Karl McCartney will split duties as a middle linebacker.

GO STAMPS GO!!!
