Default WEEK 17: BC Lions at STAMPEDERS

The last time these two teams played, the Lions embarrassed them. Stamps offense were brutal, special team coverage were awful and basically the Stamps just relied on their defense. Unfortunately the defense got tired. The Lions offense were actually not that good that night. Only reason they scored some points was because of Yonus Davis giving the Lions good field position. Hopefully we won't see any repeat of the game.

What happen when you make the running backs (Reynolds and Cornish) involve in the game? The other team start guessing whether the Stamps will run the ball, pass it or Burris running the ball. Joffrey silenced the crowds in Regina and he made the Minister of Defense Barrin Simpson look bad. Believe me if the coaching staff let Reynolds and Cornish gets involved early, the Stamps will clinch first place in the West tomorrow night.

Calgary really well in Saskatchewan last game and the game motivated them. I can see the Stamps going all over the Lions tomorrow. They just need to stay away from bad penalties. Defense lead by Brandon Browner had a heck of a game. BB actually shut down the Stamps' killer Andy Fantuz for no catch. Our special team finally played well on both running kicks/punts and the cover team did a heck of a job.

It looks like Mike Labinjo is gone for the season and probably won't be available for the playoffs. There is also a possibility that he played his last game as a Stamps vs Als on Thanksgiving. It is not because he is not a good player but it is because of his injury trouble and the play of Corey Mace, Miguel Robede. There is also a possibility that RB Jesse Lumsden might see some action but mostly in the special team.

Calgary will clinch the first place in the West meaning they will have a bye on the Semifinal game, and home field advantage in the Finals. I cannot wait to watch this game.

GO STAMPS GO!!

I read today that Lumsden is in on special teams for an injured Karl McCartney. He isn't going to get any touches from the back field, well as of now anyways.

The Stamps have added OL Stanley Bryant and he will start as Harrison is out. The Stamps also lost DE Khari Long after 1 game. That injury along with the return of Simpson means Robert McCune moves back to the DL.

I think the Stamps will play a much better game than the last time the two teams met. I believe the Stamps will clinch the West tomorrow night.

On another note, the last time these two teams played Nik Lewis sat out due to knee injury but he was involved at the end though.... fighting with the jerk Davis Sanchez,

I can only hope that the Stamps come out firing tonight. If they continue the disturbing trend of On-Off-On-Off games, then tonight would be the off night. BC has made the Stamps look bad already this season, so they need to prove that it was just a bad night. Go Stamps!

By the way, they will honour 4 former Stamps tonight at the halftime and we will see their names at McMahon's Wall of Fame.

Alondra "AJ" Johnson (MLB). I love this guy and remembered when we stole him from BC Lions. AJ is a hard-working, hard-hitting and fast middle linebacker. It's just like getting by freight train.

Will "The Tank" Johnson (DLine). I have never seen a tall and fast linemen before Johnson came over. He was awesome and the other team have to double-team with no success. Him and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson came in to the training camp at the same time, but Will is the only survived. I was actually talking to Will Johnson at the Stampede last year and asked about the Rock. He said lucky for Dwayne Johnson that he quit football and went to Hollywood instead.

Bernie Morrison (MLB). Canadian talent. I love this hardworking guy. He was not as fast or as hard hitting linebacker as AJ but Morrison did his thing with hard work and determination. Awesome guy!

Jim Fink. before my time.

Congratulations to those 4.

Looking forward to the game. I'll be there in my Tommy Forzani #22 throwback jersey.

Not a good start.
Another deep pass and then some bad tackling.

I just tune in to see the Stamps burned on a big play, sloppy tackling, and get scored on. Lovely.

You know, we suck so bad at giving up the long pass, it's going to burn us at the worst time. I can't believe nothing has been done about this.

I wonder what version of Burris will show up today.

Did you watch the game last weekend?
After the first couple drives, the Stamps did a good job at preventing the deep pass.
Kept Fantuz without a catch also.

That's true, but we can't come back every game like we did against the Riders. It's a serious weakness with Calgary, it worries me.

Soon to be 14-0.

Edit - good, we will probably hold them to a field goal.
