[OzSome]

Good decision on Huff putting Maver instead of Paredes. Angle punting please.

I'm with you. Nothing the kicker could have done with that one.

[OzSome]

didn't get the good yardage but it was a good punt otherwise.

[nixon45]

Well that was one ugly game. I would like to congratulate everyone that stuck it out.

[Pizza]

oh man... my heart cant handle this

[nixon45]

Stamps should thank their lucky stars they came out on top. What a horrid outing.

[The Big Chill]

Not pretty but it's a W!

[JiriHrdina]

Well that was ugly.

Ya, that's a better option than getting crunched in the backfield....

Only for the offense. Defense wins games too.

Defence was good, not great. It was still only Hamilton lets not forget about that

Disagree. His timing was thrown off and he never would have kicked it through. They had a better chance with scrambling for a potential first down.

How did that work out for them?

[OzSome]

Ugly win but it is still a win.

This is probably the worst BLM ever played. He was just off. I don't think he even looked at Nik Lewis' side more than twice tonight. Anthony Parker was quiet and so as Joe West. Was the Stamps overconfident in this game? Bad offense, bad discipline(way too many stupid penalties). Defense decimated by injuries on their LB kept us the game. I hope Juwan Simpson, Jamar Wall and Buddy Jackson injury was not that bad. So D didn't give up a TD again tonight.

Battle of Alberta next week. It's been a long time since we have seen the two unbeaten teams in the Battle of Alberta. I hope our offense will play better next game and all our injured players comes back.

[Pizza]

It gave them a chance to get a first down. He would have been lucky to have cleared the o-line if he had tried to kick it through. How often have you seen kickers kick a ball through from 30 something yards away when their timing is off and the ball is tipping over?

I still give them a "good" rating. Factor in that our offense put them in terrible positions all night, but there were some stoppable 2nd downs that could have helped our offense out a bit.

They stepped up when they needed to and held them out of the endzone. Wonder what could have been if the botched field goal had gone differently.

Beautiful evening for a game! Perfect weather! Shame the game was a bit of a dud. There were some great defensive plays but for the most part it was two bad offences going toe to toe. I think the decision to let BLM play the entire game was a good one for the future of the franchise. It is his team. He now knows that he will get time to work through his struggles in game.

No idea why Medlock didn't kick the ball. Trust your holder, he got it down in time. I'm still trying to figure out how Sinopoli got in the endzone. Good play by him but atrocious tackling.

Sanders has had gaffes in each game now. How many chances does he continue to get?

EDIT: To add, Walter continues to perform admirably in place if Cornish. Unfortunately for the rest of the league, he is going to be a stud.

[nixon45]

Even with Sanders gaffes I am still more confident in him than Taylor. I was so tired of watching Taylor bumble around back there and do nothing. Sanders to me at least feels like he has the ability to make something crazy happen. Still though he needs to get his head in the game more. Seems like his brain is 3 steps ahead or behind the play at all times.
