The best team in their respective divisions are going to be playing in the Grey Cup on Sunday at BC Place 4pm. I think that would make it a good game.

Hamilton and Calgary played against each other twice this season. Calgary won on both games 10-7 on July 18 at McMahon and 30-20 in Hamilton on August 16. Both RB Jon Cornish of Stamps and Hamilton QB Zach Collaros did not play.

OFFENSE :

QB Bo Levi Mitchell probably had the best game in his CFL career last week. He was throwing with precision especially in the first half against the Edmonton Eskimos. Eskies' D don't have an answer for him at all. For the first time in this season, Mitchell won the Offensive Player of the Week after his spectacular game throwing 22 times and connecting 14 for 336 yards with 4 TD passes. He was actually close to 300 passing yards after the first half already. The best part was he did not throw an interception. Stamps was actually turnover free all game. RB Jon Cornish also won the player of the week award. He was named Canadian Player of the Week, his 6th Canadian Player weekly award this season. Cornish rushed for 54 yards but he caught and ran the ball (after the catch) for 120 yards including 1 rushing TD and 1 catch & run TD. Good to see SB Marquay McDaniel playing again. He scored the first TD against Edmonton on Western Final. WR Eric Rogers scored 2 TD catches last week and he went 3 catches for 60 yards.

DEFENSE :

MLB Juwan Simpson won the Defensive Player of the Week award for his play in Western Final. Simpson was great last week limiting RB John White. Simpson recorded 7 tackles and 1 QB sack. OLB Deron Mayo also played well last week recording 7 tackles and 1 forced fumble. The last time these two teams played in August, Calgary sacked Hamilton QB 4 times (Lemon, Bishop, Johnson and Turner). Unfortunately for the Stamps, it looks like they will be missing DE Charleston Hughes after injuring the other foot and Evans who went down with the injury during the pre-game warm up. Stamps D will have to try to limit Collaros, Grigsby and Fantuz.

SPECIAL TEAM :

It is going to be a huge task to stop speedy returner Brandon Banks this game. Brandon Banks had a huge game against Montreal Alouettes last week returning 3 punt returns for touchdown (one was called-off because of the holding penalty). This guy is fast and can make people miss. Luckily for the Stamps, our special team coverage team have been playing very well the last few games. They had a great job limiting Lawrence of Eskimos last week and even Stefan Logan a few weeks ago. The only question mark in this team right now is kicker Rene Paredes. The way he kicked field goal last season was the opposite this season.

************************************************** *
I have no doubt that the Stampeders will win this game Sunday if they play discipline. They need to pressure the young QB Collaros and not let him run the ball forward. It is going to be a good game and I am so pumped up about it. I just can't wait. Last time they won the Grey Cup I was on the plane coming back from Las Vegas so definitely missed the game live.

GO STAMPS GO!!!!
