Really the Stamps don't travel well out east. They still play good enough to win a lot of them but never at the level they do at home or even in other western stadiums. Most of their losses over the past few years have been in eastern buildings like Montreal (only loss this season), Ottawa (tie), and Skydome was graveyard for them for a while. Stamps have a good winning streak going over Hamilton but you will see that all their games in Hamilton are pretty close while the games in Calgary usually aren't.
I thought last night they looked a bit rusty and I didn't agree with Mitchell being so greedy especially early in the game going for all those deep balls. To his credit most of those balls were on the mark and the receivers weren't making plays as they were pretty sloppy.
Really though the most important part of the game was that there were no major injuries and they got the two points. Style doesn't mean a lot at this point.
